I dunno about the basket of kittens, but apparently you were put on earth specifically to make me dance, fall out of my chair, spit up my coffee and spend an inordinate amount of time staring at my computer screen (possibly with drool) slack jawed and with an idiot's grin a mile wide.

You rock my friends list like....like....like a great big rocking thing!!

THE INTERNET IS JUST SO AWESOME TODAY, I CAN'T EVEN. ASKDALKSDJALKS

I am happy (nay, veritably GIDDY) to oblige, bb! :DDDD

::snorts coffee::

Ahahahahaha. My gawd.

Yeah, these two are real trailers (though not for a network channel - it's definitely for cable, which has a bit more leeway with these things), all right. Um. And I have to say the subtitles are rather BLATANTLY more suggestive than strictly necessary, but who's counting?

The last tagline in the first trailer? Watch the story of two men unfold. 'Nuff said.

(And yeah, gay definitely sells in Japan and Korea right now, so they're just catering to the crowd, is all. ::cough::)

HI ILU

[queenklu]

Watch the story of two men unfold.

......WATCH THE STORY OF TWO MEN UNFOLD.

YOU JUST. LAKSDJALSDLASAJD. SDJLKKSJ? AJEWUEWUFJSDKLNC.

*CLINGS* IT'S TRUE. IT IS A STORY OF TWO MEN. AND THEY ARE ~UNFOLDING.~

Re: HI ILU

[vegarin]

Well, there're always tons of unfolding going on. That's a fact. ::cough::

Also, there's some seriously judicious, uh, editing and interpretation going on with these trailers. I mean, in the second one, when Sherlock is all, "John, I consider myself married to my work, etc," the subtitle is stating, "...appreciate your interest; the relationship with you, however - " and THEN it cuts to John's, "It's all right," which the subtitle says, "It's fine."

Slight differences, I know, and they're technically not WRONG, per se, but I swear these subtitles do come off a little more slanted. ON PURPOSE.

...AND I'm not sure why I'm translating the translation. Things that the fandom makes me do. ::headpalm::

Re: HI ILU

[queenklu]

Ilu too much to actually stand it right now. I was secretly a good 85% convinced that the subtitles were "AHAHA YOU WISH." *GLOMPS*

Ohhhhhhh I am on board with misleading translations in this case. Misleading editing. Misleading song choice. And I would PAY, GOOD MONEY, to see the thousands of Koreans' faces going o_O when Sarah shows up. OR HELL, EARLIER, WHEN JOHN FAIL FLIRTS WITH ANTHEA.

Korean1: *poke* I thought they were gay for each other.

Korean2: *munches popcorn* Shhhh, I'm sure he'll come around.

[flightjacket]

The internet was a magical place to be today.

[queenklu]

You, my dear, have the best EVERYTHING. ♥ ♥ ♥

[namaresca]

OH MY GOD.....**is puddle of squeeling goo on the floor**

Maybe this is your karmic thanks for putting up with Truck Door Girl??

[queenklu]

LE GASP. You might be right! *chinhand* I did have to listen to her read me a short story she had written for half an hour this morning, so. YUP, THIS MUST BE IT.

*rolls around in internet*

[namaresca]

Oh dear god...I'm guessing it didn't even have the decency to be a short FANFIC??? Cos that would have made it possibly ok.

[dodger_sister]

Haha - okay, I don't watch either of these shows but let me just say -

a) I saw the Sherlock vids yesterday. I thought I had fallen into some strange Fandom Vortex. Then I thought maybe it was canon on the show and I just wasn't aware. Then I had the briefest flash of slash-hope for all my favorite boys on TV everywhere. What is this? Korea IS beating us at things!

b) Omg, look at the way Tim's character (I can't remember which is which) looks at Matt's character while he sings. JFC, 26 seconds and I can see slash in that show. That might be a new record.

[queenklu]

a) ME TOO, a vortex of AWESOME. IT COULD BECOME CANON, RIGHT? IT COULD, I WILL JUST LIE TO MYSELF.

b) Ohhhh I knooooow. Tim(Peter) and his wife El--both of them just BAM! Pregnant. Those are bam!pregnant faces right there.
