I knew I would do this eventually, I just didn't think it would take me this long. ( details )
I've made three files. 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
Please keep in mind these files were created by ripping the subtitles of the originally released Hard Core Logo DVD (not the special edition with comic book, which for some reason did not have the option of subtitles...). The subtitles, as obsessive HCL fans know, are not necessarily correct transcriptions of what was said (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 contract/legal documents with the venue that guarantees the band's performance of concert dates booked by the promoter(s). From what I've read, it is not uncommon for bands to put silly things in the contract riders to ensure that the entire contract is actually read -- for example, Van Halen (in the David Lee Roth years) had a rider on their concert contract(s) that included bowls of M&Ms candy with all brown M&Ms removed. Back when there were still brown M&Ms... If bowls of M&Ms were present backstage, but the brown M&Ms were left in, the band was not legally required to perform because the promoter and/or booker had violated the contract by leaving the brown M&Ms in... which also meant they had obviously failed to read the entire contract.
Enjoy!
