I’m waiting to see Borat. I don’t know how much of it would be “lost in translation” to the non-English speaking viewers but I’m looking forward for some good laughs.

I just saw Babel. If you have ever not felt grateful that you were not bleeding to death in Morroco, lost in the desert in Mexico, or working out your sorrows through promiscuous sex downtown Tokyo (if only you could find somebody to have sex with) you should see this movie. Really.

Oh God that movie was so 'artsy fartsy" :laughing: The director’s artistic view on human tragedy and how we are all interconnected? Along with his take on how it’s all like a butterfly effect. Pulllesss. All Hollywood bullshit.

Okay rant off. :smiley:

Apparrently you have never been bleeding to death in Morroco, lost in a desert in Mexico or working out your sorrows through promiscuous sex if only you could find somebody to have sex with… erp, OK maybe the last one was off a little… :laughing:

Nope to all three, especiall the last one. I could have walked naked as jaybird thru Osaka when I lived there, and I wouldn’t have gotten laid. :noway: :laughing:

I am not schizophrenic and neither am I but last time I walked naked through the streets of Osaka there was a line up at my dingleberry a mile long. I also like to laugh at my own jokes. :laughing:

Sometimes the translation would be modified a lot to recreate jokes for Taiwanese moviegoers.

So moviegoers would laugh because of different reasons, that’s interesting.

I just watched Babel too and thought it was a pretty intense movie. Kinda reminds me of Crash from last year with all that inter-connected story lines. It covers a lot of topics in a single movie : terrorism, poverty, illegal immigrants, loneliness, relationship issues, being rejected (poor Chieko! Getting rejected FOUR times in a SINGLE day! Ouch!)

Yes, it was a little artsy fartsy - but generally good entertainment. I would second Bob on this one, go watch it.
