Irvine was the only place where it was showing that was anywhere near to where I live. I was hoping it would play in more theaters, but I guess not. That really stinks.

I guess I'd better check the Calendar section of the Times.... :sweat:

Well it's categorized as a foreign film so it's not intended for the US market per se....according to the Academy rules for a foreign film to be eligble for Oscar contention it has to show in one of two markets, Los Angeles or New York...that's why when it came out it was only playing at the Arc Light and Laemmle's, which is an indenpedent art house theater chain.

you should see some of the t-shirts in japan...it's outta control...in fact sometimes you can see characters in dramas wearing t-shirts with non-sensical Engrish.

makes one thankful for the quality of fansubs availabe on d-addicts.

I guess I'm just being dense here but... why would anyone sub an English language film with English, or Engrish, sub titles?

Hmmm......good point. :headscratch:

maybe for those who are deaf???

But wouldn't those deaf Chinese, or Korean, or Japanese movie goers prefer to read the subs in Chinese? Or Korean? Or Japanese?

The Engrish subs were for a Chinese dubbed version of Revenge of the Sith....the subs are a product of bad translation from the Chinese language back into "Engrish." So the movie aired with Chinese vocals and those Engrish subs
