WTF Films: A Wicked Deception
In the spirit of international brotherhood, the dialogue for the following film has been translated from English
into French, then into German, then back into French, then back into English using a popular translation website.
It’s like totally Shakespearian.

Before we end this meeting of the AV-Freaks club, have ya’ll seen How to Kill a Mockingbird? It’s a faithful rendition of Harper Lee’s masterpiece, complete with pirates, robots, and flaming sharks.

More from the ЯR WTF Film vault:
The French translation at the beginning says the original dialogue has been subtitled “for your good comprehension”, while the text said “for your convenience”. I think the French translation works better here.
“The fox is like a dog” was probably my favorite line. It’s like a little lesson in zoology to justify the time you wasted watching this “Filme”.

Ah, or as we used to call them in grad school, ‘wheeze-n-cheats’

At first, I was all like,”Aww, man. I can’t jack-off to this…”
Then I proved me wrong.
Plus, I think David Milch has some explaining to do.

@ Jim:
If you’re like most straight guys, there are few films to which it’s patently impossible to wank-off. I’ve been known to release pressure watching a pleasantly plumped-up Toni Collette in Muriel’s Wedding . Schindler’s List had some totally hot chicks in it, but I felt bad afterward.

My highschool class went to see Schindler’s List. I let my b/f get to second base, now known as Schindler’s Base.
Also The Last of the Mohicans.
I love me some educational dramas.

This was clever.
Ironic that I was just using one of those free on=-line translator’s just this afternoon. When I sent the text back through to check the vernacular, my translated text came out a lot like the dialog in this “filme”.

Fantastic! I think a similar technique is used for translating menus here in Seville.

Bagel: An acquaintance of mine mentioned a similar cinemasexual encounter when he and an acquaintance saw the movie ‘Zulu’ - they referred to it as ‘reaching the aiming stake’

@ Bagel: “I could have got more. I don’t know. If I’d just… I could have got more.”
Cannibal Holocaust is similarly jerk-worthy.

I actually did something like this once with a letter I’d written. I wrote it in English, translated it into German, and then translated it back into English. It was the funniest thing I’ve ever read. It was a really, really bad online translator.

In German, the same pronoun is used for “you”, “she” and “they” is the same, hence “They gain it”.
