There are ripped movies for sale everywhere through SEAsia, and alot of guesthouses show movies or have them on hand to look through.
Crazy subtitles, which I have found a whole new appreciation (now that I dont havem), I get so much more out of it when i can get ALL the dialog. Every word (in a good movie) has been contemplated for its effects on the audience. Its a whole other depth of investigation and appreciation/classical quality. Subtitles are missing or badly translated or terribly translated or hilariously translated. The loud action scenes cause all sound, of course dialog being the most important, to be muffled. The loud action scenes are too loud so you turn the volume down then dialog cannot be heard. All the American phrases are wrong,
ie "come on, lets go, jump in the car"
subtitle: Come, jump with me
And this example is being lenient, it could actually be deciphered, most of the time it's not even close. Sometime its a translation of what the script-er understands it to be, sometimes completely missing.
I rerererewatched the Wolverene movie at a hostel in northern Laos and it was a copy of the movie before all the computer generated imaging was completed. There where grey box men flying all over during the action scenes and some of the time it switched between two different views of the action and one would have wolverene w/blades and one w/o.
Some movies ive seen:
-Twilight(it was worth 2bucks for the aircon, its a teen soap saga held at the movie theater)
-Inglorious Bastards (V.V. good)
-Alice in Wonderland (Good special FX and costumes but not as scary as I hoped)
-Bruno (obscene (surprise) and not very funny)
-Up in the air (good take home for the western "15$ theater ticket" world)
-Legion (capital Crap)
-Kick Ass (good action scenes and nice story but not very funny, its like a ultra violent family film)
-Clash of the Titans 2D (Good movie for the theater, good story, good FX, ok acting)
-Robin hood (pretty good, tells the precursor to the popular story, im sure to, in part, leave room for squeals :)
-Date night (Pretty good but unless your in se asia with 2dollar premiers then wait for the vid)
-Ironman II (its ok if you really like fight scenes and don't mind typical characters)
-Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore (walked out)
-Piranha (They spent the entire budget on gore, amazingly decent)
-New York, I love you (v.v.v. gooooood, check it uut)
