In case you don’t read Hangul, I’ll tell you that this is my ticket for Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl. After being in China, where all movies are dubbed, I’d resigned myself to probably not seeing any new American movies while on this trip. This ticket, however, is proof that I’d resigned too early.
Thursday I got to see Johnny Depp and crew swash-buckling there way through another Disney epic; and I must say, I was made quite homesick. Watching it, I remembered the day my Redondo Beach roommate came home and told us they were filming this movie off the shores of RB. For the next week, my (room)mates were often on Black Pearl watch and would be on the lookout to see it dock near Joe’s Crab Shack each night or talk about whether or not Orlando Bloom really had been hanging out on the Hermosa Pier or not. So watching this movie here, definitely made me think about “back home” (if I could call LA that!).
Aye, but at least I saw the movie with an Aussie bloke who brought LA a little closer to home that night when he bought me a churro from the movie concession stand.
Sidenote: Do any of you know why some countries choose to dub American movies and others choose to use subtitles? If you do, I’d love to know…
I don’t have any answers about the movie dubbing. Actually, I’d like to hear about this date with the Australian guy.
Yeah…We know Jayna likes the Australian guys!!!! Spill girl… Hope you didn’t give him your blog address!
Geez, you two…I should’ve known how the last paragraph would be taken. It wasn’t a date; we went with a couple of other people, and I was just invited along because I had nothing to do that night and would’ve been all by my lonesome! But before the movie, I had mentioned that I loved Mexican food, so when we saw the churros…
But yes, it is true, I do love Australian guys. Hahaha. Here’s to hoping I might have some actual date stories from down under once I get there!
(Not that I’ll put them up for all the world to see…I learned my lesson there!)
