So I’m watching this on TV right now (in French, God help me) and I have a burning question...

Skip ahead to 1:20 and answer me this: Who has packets of Sweet & Low in their bedroom, and for what purpose?

Hotel room. There’s a room service cart at the top of the screen. And a silver coffee tray at the bottom.

Ahh, didn’t notice. Wasn’t paying that much attention to anything but Nicole Kidman...

Amazing.

As a bilingual anglophone, watching an English film I’ve already seen (especially an older one) in French is particularly painful. It seems that dubbing has improved, but I still prefer seeing a film in its original language.

The more pressing question is where can you get some of those awesome bubble goggles they wear, and the answer is here.

Nicole Kidman sure was hot back then.

I saw Basic Instinct dubbed into French. I din’t have a clue what was going on. My french friend: “those fucking americans always fucking and killing”.

Did you understand French when you saw it? That might explain the difficulty... ;-)

I saw V for Vendetta in German. At the time, I understood and could speak maybe 40-50 words. There was, unfortunately, a lot more dialog in that film than I expected...

The problem I have with most French dubbing is that it’s done in a sort of Universal French that will be understandable by anyone who speaks French worldwide. This leaves the translation a bit flat sometimes.

It’s awful. You should see XXX (the Vin Diesel movie) dubbed in French - unbelievably bad!

It had to choose between Jours de tonnerre or Coming to America dubbed in French. I needed something to distract me while folding the laundry, and there was no way I was gonna watch a good Eddie Murphy film in another language!

You wanted to watch it in French? (Possibility for regret arises) :P

I think sticking to the english version works best. Especially when the president starts talking to the 2 drivers about “japanese inspection”. One of the funniest, good scenes in a movie.

It’s what was playing... I didn’t bother checking the English channels ‘cause I’m lazy.

Yes I understood french quite well, the problem was that Michael Douglas and Kim Basinger had lips moving not in time with what sound was coming out of their mouths. And I was wanting for their next romp in the sheets.

Ha! Distracted, you were...

The sync problem you get accustomed to with time.
