Bored with your DVD collection? Try watching a subtitled movie with a toddler. You’ll likely get a different plot every time. Last night hubby and I started watching The Sorcerer and the White Snake. We’ve had this on our Netflix queue for a while and I figured it was just a typical Jet Li martial arts movie. Don’t get me wrong, I like both Jet Li and martial arts movies, but I haven’t been in a martial arts movie mood lately. But hubby put it on last night for a while, and although it’s definitely a challenge watching a movie that required actual reading of subtitles, I got the gist of most of the plot, just missed some convos between characters here and there. But we never got to finish the movie, and who knows when we will…
In many ways this was a typical martial arts film, but it had a lot of Chinese mysticism thrown in there– talking animals and shape-changing demons– as if it were the most natural thing in the word. Now for your entertainment (and my own,) I’ll extrapolate some possible “interpretations” of scenes from the movie… and, shockingly, virtually no spoilers.*

“We are having so much fun frolicking in this field!”

“You only want me for my body…”

“Mmmm…it really does taste like chicken…”
Now this scene…pretty easy really.

A look like this usually says one of two things:
1) I’m dying, or
2) I love you and I’m gonna suck your face off now.
What about this one?

“Be gone, foul temptresses!”

“Ooooh! Jet Li! Can we get your autograph?!”

“Mah bitches…”
And lastly…
So anyhoo…sorry I’ve been lazy with my posts and comments lately. I’ll try to be better…maybe. In the meantime, maybe check out this movie. Maybe even watch it without the subtitles…
These films are so much better with the volume turned down and your interpretation so much better than mine
Some of them are not that bad. I was actually interested in this movie a bit… but that random thought occurred to me this morning and I just had to…
That looks like a weird ass movie!
It was kinda fantastical, but it was cool.
This movie looks insane! Subtitles would ruin it!
I think a game of Mystery Science Theater is in order.
On!
Oh the Vlog post we could make outta that!
Ha,ha,ha! :-|)… I don’t find in necessary to know what they are saying in, or even have a clue about what is going on in a movie to enjoy it… But those things add a lot… Except to “Streetdance 2″… :-[
I don’t even wanna know…lol
Just listen to the music and DANCE!
Hey! Where’s the new posts?
What do you mean? They are all in the index…
