  American movie foreign language moments in the native country?

  By Samuel L Changeling · 13 minutes ago

  If you are confused by the title of my question allow me to elaborate in the description here. Now, we all know that when Hollywood in the US makes a movie the language will be in the English since that is the majority language of America and of course as said gets distributed into countries which speak a non English language said movie will get dubbed and ot subbed into that country's language so they can watch it as well. This brings up a good question of what happens in American movies when in the movie there is a foreign language that is key to film plot scene, character background etc when that film is shown in that specific country itself? Let me give two quick examples so you have a better idea. In John Carpenter's movie "The Thing"  during the Intro scene a Norwegian pilot attempts to warn the American group about Dog-thing. The key point is that the American's CANNOT understand the Norwegian language being spoken. So, how does this scene work in Norway or any other country with Norwegian as the primary language?  Another good example is the movie Timeline where in a group of present day Americans travel back in time to England and French 100 year war. One of Americans sent back is a man named Francois who is there to help interpret and translate the French language for the rest of his group. However, the group gets captured by English soldiers and when the English lord hears Francois' French accent he decides to cutely toy with him by asking him to translate the following French sentence: "je suis un espion" into English. "je suis un espion' literally translates into "I am a spy' in English. In other words, the minute Francois translates it he gets killed for admitting to being a spy. So, yeah again how does this movie work in France? So yes how do such scenes with an element of foreign language work in the country where the foreign language is actually the native language?

  How are you feeling?

  By LetterTwister · 29 minutes ago

  Oh no! I hope you can get more sleep soon.  You know what they say: early to bed and early to rise.. I'm naturally inclined to wake up early, too. It's never gotten less annoying. I can fall asleep pretty quickly and sleep through the house caving in, but any longer than 8 hours and I'll be battling a headache and nausea for the rest of the day. Less than 7 and it'll be a while of struggling not to fall back asleep. This time I woke up because random ear pain was killing me I'm fine now, just tired still.

  Whaaaat? 6 is too little? I’m lucky if I ever get that much . If I try to go to bed early, I just end up waking up early (assuming I fell asleep relatively shortly after, if tired). Feeling hungry. Waiting for the pizza at the thru (yes, I am now calling it “the thru” as of 15 seconds ago ).

  What Would You Change/Rewrite About The Aspect of MLP:FIM?

  By Rafa Stary · 2 hours ago

  As someone who's mostly fine with what has been done in FiM, for me it's hard to answer it, but I'll try -I liked the concept of a School of Friendship and the Young Six, my problem with it is they didn't know how to use these concepts very well, the young six learned everything way too fast, the Mane Six took seasons and seasons to develop their character arcs, the Young Six character arcs were completed in, like, 10 episodes? Just too fast, this made them end up not being that interesting, I didn't see the point in making them as students, they could very well be adults. So what I would change here was give more episodes to develop their characters, learn lessons, go in many adventures with the Mane Six, make Sandbar go in a Adventure with the CMC, make a episode about Galos and Gilda, etc, would make them more likeable. -I'm really not a fan of Twilight Sparkle replacing Celestia as Canterlot Princess and Ruler of Equestria, what I liked so much about Celestia (and Luna) is that they were seen as deities, and I just can't see Twilight as a deity, for me she worked so well as a Alicorn that got to interact with normal ponies, making her the ruler of equestria destroyed this unique aspect for me, for me she should continue in her in Castle in Ponyville and Princess of Friendship and working in the School of Friendship. -Make more 13 episodes for Season 3, more episodes focused in other characters and exploring more places in Equestria, revisiting some as well such as the ones from the 2017 movie. -Make the Real Grogar into the final villain of Season 9, I really liked Tirek, Chrysalis and Cozy Glow returning for the finale, problem is, they already got their stories and spotlight Seasons ago, these three being the final threat just made Season 9 lack in originality for me, as much as this goes over well with me because I think Season 9, as it was the last, it felt like a celebration of the series for me, so they revisited a lot of old stuff instead of introducing new stuff, lots of episodes with "The Last" in the title, etc, still, I think the Legion of Doom should've been like the Mini Bosses, and then Grogar the Final Boss. -Actually I think Seasons 6 and 7 also lacked in originality, specially 6, I really liked Chrysalis and the Changelings returning, but that just made me think that they started to run out of ideas, and the beginning of the season was also basically The Crystal Empire 2.0 but without King Sombra, if they brought Chrysalis back I think they should have brought Sombra back too, it was was also during this season that I started to feel that the Show was starting to wear out. I think they should've made more completely new stories, like a story arc of the characters going to space!

  What are you thinking?

  By LetterTwister · 3 hours ago

  My family has a laundry list of medicine allergies and I thought I lucked out by avoiding them. I'm beginning to think that I did not, in fact, avoid them. Imagine if I was allergic to allergy medicine! My immune system has all the jokes.
