like tonari no totoro, laputa and some more.. it seems to
happen a lot to studio ghibli ones, at least.. why oh
why do the subtitles NOT fucking follow the japanese version
of the movie?!?!!?!? why do they seem to feel that they have
to add words to every gesture and "extra cozyness" to random
pictures? in laputa, for instance, in the beginning where
you can't hear anyone talking due to "the camera" being
outside the window and lots of motor noise, there's lots of
english text, and in totoro in the beginning there's stuff
like adding "oh, they're over there out there" when that kid
answers the question about where his parents are by just
pointing.. who doesn't get the gesture of pointing without
there being lots and lots of extra words to it? both of
these movies (and many more, but these are the most
noticeable) are full of shit like that, and it makes me wish
I could download subtitles and add them to the discs
myself.. in fact, that should become common practice; dvd
companies should leave some open space on their dvds and
then there should be some subtitle databases where you could
download subtitles and add them to your dvd...

And there could be silly humorous versions of subtitles for
those dvds!

yeah, thhat too.. I bought postman blues once and the
subtitles made no sense whatsoever (btw, if anyone knows
where I can get postman blues and dangan runner on PROPER
dvds with proper subtitles and reasonably cheap, let me
know!)

I also have a version of howls moving castle with the
subtitles of a completely different movie (it starts out
with some women speaking, but the subtitles are "John:
Roger, moving out!" or something like that)
