You know what would be great...
Have you ever seen one of these irritating, half-assed, Tamil dubbed versions of English movies on the various Tamil channels.
I recently saw The Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy dubbed into Tamil. Not only was it totally idiotic, they changed the story all together.
Every dialogue was changed to something that didn't even resemble what was originally said. For instance, there's a scene where Ford Prefect warns the patrons of a bar that the Earth will be destroyed in 10 seconds. The Barkeep (originally) responds by asking him whether they should cover their head with a paper bag or something. In the Tamil Dubbed version, this was changed to the Barkeep asking Ford to stop his insanity.
To someone who hasn't read the book or seen the original movie, I am sure watching it in Tamil would have been bewildering. Needless to say, I switched channels within 10 minutes.
You know what would be great, take an entire movie that has been dubbed in Tamil and transliterate it back in English.
That would be hilarious!!!
I will do it someday.
