Italian Movies

So we watched this brilliantly odd movie in Italian class about this guy named Andreuccio (it's part of the Decameron and we just finished reading the story of Andreuccio in Italian). It's a great movie, but the department happens to only own the version that is dubbed in English. Upon first hearing this, the rest of the class (much to my dismay, but not to my surprise) sort of sighs. I, on the other hand, am doing imaginary cartwheels in my head (ONE HANDED cartwheels, mind you....with merry music in the background. And angels! Singing!) because what could be better than a movie that I can actually understand?? AND, no less, it will give me a chance to actually understand the 40 page story that I just spent 3 weeks translating and yet, somehow, got nothing out of.

Haha, it was a great day. You thought there was more to this story didn't you? Well, no. There isn't. But the movie's dubbing was really funny and yes, these lines were actually included in the dialogue:

"The crapper broke! I fell in! I am choking in a pile of shit!"

"Praise the Lord these turds have turned to gold!"

-"Up yours, thief"
-"Yeah, up his!"

Scratch the bio major, maybe dubbing is my calling. Hayley Whit-ay. Dubber.

(Nevermind, that sounds like "dumber" with a cold....I'll stick to the science)
