Leggendo molti post sulle diverse pronunce mi č venuto un dubbio
(probabilmente stupido :) ):
ma quando i film americani vengono proiettati in UK vengono doppiati? E i
film UK vengono doppiati quando sono proiettati in USA?

No, non vengono doppiati. Qualche volta mi ci vuole 15 o 20 minuti, per 
che io capisca cosa dicono, ma insomma e' veramente la stessa lingua.

Un-not my address if you wanna reply.

No, ma li sottotitolano. Ad esempio, se un personaggio dice "I'll take a 
taxi because my lorry's engine broke down last autumn", i sottotitoli in 
America diranno "I'll take a cab because my truck's motor broke down last 
fall".

It happens more commonly with news items. News reports of people with
strong accents are often subtitled for Americans I've noticed in our
news here.
Rambo could have done with subtitles as I gather that was one film
kiwis had trouble understanding.

That's interesting. It never happens here.

che io capisca cosa dicono,
Yes, same here.  We had a secretary who was originally from London.  It took me
about a year to be able to understand what she was saying without having her
repeat everything twice.  I loved her accent, though.

Wedding could have used more subtitling.
I am Italian and quite used to American English. I've watched bits of
Monsoon Wedding with no subtitles. Gosh, that was difficult. I have
blessed the subtitles on Billy Elliot and, of course, on Snatch, even
though there were no subtitles when Pitt - the gypsy - was talking,
but that was a director's choice. Do you like dags? :)

You *loved* her accent? It's unfortunate you had to fire her. (witty face)
Bye, FB

 
Yes, I'm in New York... Now that you mention it, yes I do recall seeing 
documentary films with subtitling, and it's a good thing, too, or I 
wouldn't have understood anything. (I'm not even sure it was English I 
was listening to!) 8-)

Macche'!  E' andata in pensione.  And yes, I did love her accent.

Actually these are American news feeds of British and African
accents. I don't think it's our news items that do it. as it's on the
actual film stock. You probably don't get the news without an
American reporter to translate. Unless public tv exists :-)

 terminology that call for subtitling.
D'accordo.

Yes, I think so too :-))

It was good. And difficoult to understand. :)

 Trainspotting could definitely have used subtitling.  
Trainspotting could have used subtitling in England, let alone the
States.

I remember when I had to use subtitles to understand Malčna. :)

What a brutal but lovely film! Since I'm half Sicilian I was really 
interested in hearing the language. I think I'll buy that one...

I liked it too. The Italian DVD is the full lenght movie. If you need
English subtitles the Korean DVD is full lenght and with English
subtitles. The Italian DVD has Italian subtitles.
The International version is 12 minutes shorter.

 Thanks TO all.
Anche perchè ho visto che "at all" può significare "per niente". Quindi la
frase "Thanks at all for the answers" potrebbe essere interpretata come un
non voler ringraziare? Come se le risposte non fossero state soddisfacenti?

I can understand what he says on TLotR DVDs.

Non si direbbe "thanks at all... " non significa niente.
"Thanks for nothing" would convey that meaning: that the answers weren't 
helpful. It's either said as a joke or impolitely.

Capito! Grazie.
P.s.: Excuse me for the delay with the "wav", I send it to you as soon as
possible!

Just as well, you're hearing the fastest accent in the West. :-) 
On the news tonight some American professor has analysed the New
Zealand accent and found we speak faster than the Brits, the Yanks
and the Aussies-  who are the slowest of all.
Which ties in with my own observations of kiwis and aussies reading
aloud.

 Ever seen it?
No, sorry.
