That sounds amazing..

I dunno, that sounds intentionally bad which is a very different thing than so bad it's good. Intentionally bad is more like a parody, whereas unintentionally bad is like watching a huge, hilarious accident.



First of all, go watch Troll 2.

Second of all, you are so right about Mega Piranha. needs I mention the bicycle kicking scene?

When it comes to bad movies, though I gotta say that they sometimes depress me as much as they make me laugh, mainly because some of these directors obviously care about their work, and believe in it. Watching some commentaries and documentaries about bad movies makes you realize that in some sense these films amount to some poor guy's shattered dreams. For an example of this watch Troll 2 and then the Troll 2 documentary Best Worst Movie. It doesn't mean that every laughable bad film should've been a smash success, but it does help you to sympathize with the people behind them.


Wow, that was a lot of text.

I hate it when in high profile blockbucters they translate russian signs or words or whatever ass backwards. And since every second high profile hollywood blockbuster has a russian minor or major villain, it turned into a one big frusrtation.
I mean seriously, with all these millions and millions of budget you can't invite anyone to fix these mistakes? The one answer I can think of - is that 80% of translators here friggin sucks. Sometimes during some speeches of our guests from english-speaking countries and the attempts to translate them... Oh god. Sometimes I'm ready to do this for free.
Sorry guys. I don't know if someone here can understand my pain.

The very same goes for german in us-movies. But there are filmmakers who don't bullshit the audience when it comes to foreign language. A recent example would be Inglourious Basterds. But it's not common and I hate it too. There are films older than a half century featuring accurate foreign language (e.g. The Third Man...okay, it's UK, but what the heck)...so still doing the gibberish is outdated and kind of ignorant. I couldn't say the same about films from europe or asia in general.

And (as You probably suspect) the same goes for polish. To make it worse usually when people in american movies speaks in polish it's actually bad russian.
There are also those movies when words are right but the accent is so bad it hurts (my "favourite" example is Meryl Streep in "Sophie's choice")
Usually american movies use language as a "gimmick" - "hey, look, she is talking german, how cool is that" - while in Europe foreign language usually has it's meaning and is part of the "magic". I remember Movie called "Head-on" (original title "Gegen die Wand" - wonder if guys from Germany seen it) which I really liked.

That was one of the coolest use of foreign language in movie I've ever seen.

Gegen die Wand was on of the very few german movies in the last decades that was really, really good. 10/10 in my book.

I’ve often wondered about foreign languages used in English language movies, but have always just assumed (not knowing any better) that they were actually saying what the subtitles read. How difficult can it be to get a native speaker to tell you the words to use? That’s just the worst kind of laziness.

since were talking about languages here there is a major character on adventure time (lady rainicorn) that has lengthy speeches in Korean without subtitles or translation.
