    First of all that was a suggestion not a claim
    and second u say that its impossible to translation to be better than originals ? Chances are odd but not impossible I think :)
    By the very nature of translations, its impossible for a translated work to be better than the original. If its made to be better than the original, then its no longer a translation but a whole new story.

    hehe just quit stuffing stuff up your ass :P
    or just do it without making so much noise... :P
    I think it's impossible...every language possess authentic phrases that can't be translated without losing the true essence
    of it.
    Yup. This is one reason why translations doesnt do better than the original work.

    besides, lets face it most sinhala translations, Jurassic Park being the rare exception sucked big time. then again i never read the original.
    there's a translation of Jurassic Park ??? Is Micheal Criton even aware of this ?

    May be since genuine beauty cannot be translate to anothe language completely he must have added some by his own
    And may be thats the reason for his higher success among other translates

    I have to use "may be" since I havent read the English one and just suggesting u take a look.
    In my I'll take a look at English one :yes:

    and they mostly leave behind all the interesting little detail ..that sucks. and censor the sex scenes :lol:

    yeah lolz don't think michael crichton would mind thought, the dude's dead for good.

    I thought Hanks and that big black dude would make love at the end :P it was a nice movie though, I'll say this about that movie.

    May be Chanda Mendis added by hand ? :P I dunno but u r the only one I met who oppose the idea that Sinhal SH is much better :)

    I've read all of his translations and some of the originals...I didn't notice anything additional though. those brits speak the language the way its supposed to be spoken, who'd wanna miss that.

    and I've read K.G karunarathna's translation of Hound baskerville...and I'd say that it felt more complete than mendis' version.

    I saw it for the incredible hype it had...and it wasn't band and right now I'd like to replace it with Antichrist.

    1.Ringu (jap movie)
    2. Grudge (Jap original)
    3. The Exorcist
    4. The Eye (Hong kong original)
    5. Nightmare on Elm Street (original)

    never got to see the original of ring..and the hollywood remake just doesn't qualify.

    he must like it without the lube..

    LOL! though thats another reason why translations cant do better than orginals.
    yeah lolz don't think michael crichton would mind thought, the dude's dead for good.
    um.. his story was about resurrecting life thanks to a mosquito. I'm pretty sure he's got his own blood stored somewhere .. :P
    I've read all of his translations and some of the originals...I didn't notice anything additional though. those brits speak the language the way its supposed to be spoken, who'd wanna miss that.
    well, brits did invent the language. If anyone should speak it the way its supposed to be spoken, it will be the brits.. :P

    hence the pain :lol:

    LOL! though thats another reason why translations cant do better than orginals.

    and to make it worse, Mendis don't mention much about holmes drug abuse...he just smoke the frigging pipe.

    I used to have an old translation of some sherlock holmes stories ..that one mentioned about holmes doing drugs though :P translater was david karunathilaka or something.

    um.. his story was about resurrecting life thanks to a mosquito. I'm pretty sure he's got his own blood stored somewhere .. :P

    :lol: I don't think after all that he fretted about in the book, he'd dare to play the god.

    well, brits did invent the language. If anyone should speak it the way its supposed to be spoken, it will be the brits.. :P

    they speak it so freaking perfectly :lol: that accent on girls turn me on :rofl:

    Star Trek II : Wrath of Khan
    star_trek_wrath_of_khan.jpg

    Arguably the best Star Trek movie from the original franchise. The character interaction is great and considering its a limited budget movie, the special effects weren’t all that bad but the movie was great even when you disregard the effects as it has a really good story and well played characters.
