The "horse in the tree" joke was replaced by a joke like:<br /><br />"What kind of drink stays in a tree?"<br />"A Cola Bear!" (not verbatim)<br /><br />I don't know how Thai people reacted to the original version, but I never found wordplay to be particularly cute or funny. Still, the overall quality like spelling and grammar were mostly perfect. Certainly beats a fansubbed version I read prior to owning it. The scene with the characters Aoi and Hern in the train where Hern was talking to his friend on the cell phone?<br /><br />On the DVD it was translated as: "She's so doable!"<br />Where the fansubbed version said: "Very #$%&(!*%#!" (yes, they used symbols...)<br /><br />I distinctly remember that because "She's so doable!" actually got a good chuckle out of me.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14678690874559453426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762681276595673682.post-9070256190378340782009-10-06T22:07:53.640+07:002009-10-06T22:07:53.640+07:00Although it has been 1.5 years late, 'at least...Although it has been 1.5 years late, 'at least' it arrived here with subtitles. We've already watched it last year on the silver screen but, still, I might get a copy of this as a collection. In fact, I'm curious to know how the spoonerism in the movie is translated. (What kind of horse stay on the tree?)<br /><br />Don't miss the OST 'Yang Noi' (at least) by Big Ass.BODYholichttp://bodyholic66.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762681276595673682.post-28941506373732114912009-10-06T10:17:45.893+07:002009-10-06T10:17:45.893+07:00When I sent an e-mail asking where they had sold d...When I sent an e-mail asking where they had sold distribution rights to about a month and a half ago, when I was looking for a copy of the movie, the Associate International Director told me that the movie was sold (or was to be sold) in Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Guess that covers Malaysia and Singapore.<br /><br />I had also asked if there would soon be any news about a newer release, Dear Galileo. But I guess it's too soon for them to say anything about that, since it was left out of the response.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14678690874559453426noreply@blogger.com
