^You'd think a film would splash out on proper translations ?

The subtitles I read in cinemas and officially released DVDs seem good, although a lot of puns get lost in translation (but they do their best).
However, the subtitles on TV are obviously rushed and given to people that don't really care if their translation works in the context of the story.
I've stumbled on very bad cases of translations on the small screen, from editing the sarcastic remarks into sentences stating the obvious, or censoring some sentences by avoiding the insertion of sex talk in the subtitles. In other times, some translations are just plain absurd:
I once noticed that the translator was changing "Jewish" to "Atheist", other times we have some hilarious confusions between homophones, so "Lying on the floor" (as in resting), becomes "Telling lies on the floor" ... *No Comment*

Sometimes it's funny, other times it just annoys you that some illiterate retards are actually being employed...

Hahahhaa the telling lies one is amazing. Although I would find it genius at first, I'd get pretty ****ing annoyed in the end. I can see why I'd hate it eventually, and get angry

It's the same with me. Although English is not my first language, I can easily watch English spoken films without subtitles, but I kind of prefer to have English subtitles on for the same reason you mentioned. For non-English spoken films (especially those more obscure) it's always easier to find English subtitles, so I'm using them very often.

I have noticed, however, that when I watch Russian films (or of other Slavic languages) I like to have Serbian subtitles on instead of English. Not just for the obvious reason it being my native language, but because there are subtle inner meanings and a feel that words have that are much easier preserved in Serbian (being a Slavic language) and can be lost in English.

Not actually seen it yet, I'm only 40 minutes in but I can safely say I will reach the end of this film, it's gripping thus far. Shaping up really nicely.

Meh... It was okay, a little boring at times. Not as gripping as I thought it would be.

I watched it 2 days ago, I really liked it. Though I couldn't shake away how similar it is to the film Brothers Grimm, another cool movie.
