HCL: the subtitles (updated with permalinks)
I haven't even been lurking, I've just been offline... since September or so. But I come bearing gifts. While I was sick at home on New Year's Eve 2008-2009, I got busy. I finally got the subtitles for HCL appropriately ripped with an OCR subtitle ripper. [fanfare] FYI I used SubRipper 1.5 Beta 4 release... not available for Mac OS X, and no longer being developed, unfortunately.
I've done my best to correct misspellings &/or grammar mistakes/typos, using OpenOffice's Writer's spellcheck and search & replace functions, whereupon I discovered "replace all" doesn't...
So here are four ways to get the subtitles. Do with them what you will, and Enjoy! I'm only sorry it took this long.
ETA: I have a real web page for them now, so no more filedropper.com or mediafire.com, yay.
(1) A text file with time stamps for each line of subtitled dialog called HCLsubs.txt at http://verushka.atspace.com/HCLsubtitles.txt
(2) A file in Word 97/2000/XP .doc format, edited and corrected for spelling and grammar, which is available at http://verushka.atspace.com/HCLsubtitles.doc
(I discovered OpenOffice's Writer has difficulty with Search/Replace when you use the Replace All option... it does not Replace All. Sigh.)
(3) An HTML file created from the edited Word .doc at http://verushka.atspace.com/HCLsubtitles.html
Caveats: Please keep in mind these files were created by ripping the subtitles of the first Hard Core Logo DVD (not the special edition with comic book, which for some reason did not have any subtitles...). These subtitles, as obsessive HCL fans know, are not necessarily correct transcriptions of actual spoken dialog (or intended or scripted).
e.g. "booze on the Ryder" gives the impression that HCL had &/or used a Ryder moving truck while touring, which seems unlikely... Whereas a "rider" is part of the legal contract for the band's performance(s). From what I read years ago in various magazines like Creem (really dating myself) & Rolling Stone, bands put riders on their contracts to ensure that the contract is actually read, including the fine print. For example, Van Halen (in the David Lee Roth years) had a rider that required bowls of M&Ms candy backstage, but with all brown M&Ms removed. (Back when there still were brown M&Ms...) If bowls of M&Ms were present backstage, but the brown M&Ms were left in, the contract was violated, so Van Halen was not legally obligated to perform.
Oh, and feel free to x-post or link on other HCL-, CKR-, or HD-centric LJs.
