In a certain way it is a very clear answer. I already imagined something like that...Originally Posted by Tristuskhan
But now:![]()
EB = The Empire Strikes Back
Vanilla = Attack of the Clones
Or alternatively
Vanilla = Get Carter (Sylvester Stallone version)
EB = Get Carter (Michael Caine version)
I'm clearly showing my age here...
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. H. L. Mencken
More like:
EB = The Empire Strikes Back with extra great sounds and picture viewed on a gigantic plasma TV in your living room with lots of popcorn, your favourite beverage and a (or whatever nummer you like) very beautiful girl.
Vanilla = Listening to a comic book version of Attack of the Clones on the radio while being tortured by a gang of sadistic skinheads singing very disturbing songs about what they intend to do with you. Also, this particular version of Attack of the Clones has been dubbed to Japanese.

I don't come here a lot any more. You know why? Because you suck. That's right, I'm talking to you. Your annoying attitude, bad grammar, illogical arguments, false beliefs and pathetic attempts at humour have driven me and many other nice people from this forum. You should feel ashamed. Report here at once to recieve your punishment. Scumbag.
To be honest I found the english->chinese->english version of revenge of the sith far more entertaining than the english version, and I imagine the same would be true for the attack of the clones.

Oh god. XD XD XD XD I love this, Chinese that I am.
...I should be demonstrating cultural solidarity, but I ain't. Darned good! You haven't seen the worst yet.
In China 'Westlife' is translated, literally, as 'Boys from West Street'. And 'Coldplay' is translated 'Cool Play'. As in, 'yo, man, 'sup' cool, not 'temperature' cool. o.O And movie titles in China are NOTHING at all like what they are. 'The Day After Tomorrow' was translated EXACTLY as it meant--'the following day.'
...Okay they aren't as funny when I try to explain them in English, and I don't have Chinese software. Hmm.

Side effect of EB that nobody's talked about: calling regions by their classical names. I've caught myself calling Afghanistan as Sogdiana/Baktria a number of times of late...
Well, I am actually to young to drink wine, but I think I understand you anyway.
I almost called my homeland Skandza lately. Embarassing.
Though I often use the names of Italian regions such as Brettia, Campania, Kalabria, Apulia, and Latium, they just fit so perfectly, and there´s no better names I know of. At least I havn´t called Gotland for Auwjögötánöz and Visby for Gáwjam-Götánöz. That would have been akward, and would almost have convinced me to quite EB. Almost, but not quite.

Well, I'm up to calling them hoplitai in civilised conversation now, and anglicised greek and roman names now look weird to me. 'Parmenio' and 'Arsaces' and 'Athens' and 'somatophylaxes' and all that now make me feel a wormy sense of discomfort. XD Oh, for a book to refer to them with Ks instead of Cs, and so on!
