Le Monstre Fantome

LeoZ 2004-11-30 21:40:11 ET So my birthday has come and gone (Nov. 30th) and not much has changed. I beat the game Mafia today. Stuffs. Right now I'm reading up on phreaking. Learning about out-band signalling and stuff. Learning about ESS and whatnot. And playing the Hackers dvd in the background. Set to the French language. With French subtitles. And laughing because the 2 don't match up. Now I don't speak French but I know that the subtitles are off when the Phantom Phreak audibly introduces himself as "...Phreak. Le Fantome Phreak" while the subtitles introduce him as "...Monstre. Le Monstre Fantome." I call shenanigans!

antony green 2004-11-30 22:04:20 ET Bet you anything the subtitles in that movie is more consistant than 80's Jet Lee movie subtitles.

LeoZ 2004-11-30 22:31:29 ET At least the Jet Lee movies have subtitles. The Reservoir Dogs special edition DVd oesn't have any.

antony green 2004-11-30 22:48:33 ET Being a chinese I must say the subtitles on Jet Lee's movies are for the sake of completely butchering and rewriting the original story, like watching pictionary and playing broken telephone all at the same time.

LeoZ 2004-11-30 22:50:51 ET Heh. Somebody should make that into an easter egg. A subtitle track that is a completly different story than the audio track.
