I fell asleep on the couch watching baseball last Friday night. I woke up just in time to catch "Incubus" on the Turner Classic Movie channel on my local cable system. Did anyone else in the USA/Canada see it?

It was worth watching once just to test my listening comprehension. I had read about the movie on several e-o forums in the past. Does anyone have or know of a written transcript of the script so I can see if I heard what I think I heard?

I wouldn't use Incubus for that, the pronunciation is generally useless and the Esperanto itself is quite awful in many ways ("vi estas ebla marŝi".. come on senkulpa.gif)

However I do have a transcript, here. I found a few errors and inconsistencies with the original transcript in it though, here and there.

Thanks very much. That's just what I was looking for!

No probs. That file appears to have many of the errors in the spoken dialogue fixed so that's a bonus I guess.

I also have another file here which shows the time when each phrase is spoken in the soundtrack, if you find that useful.

incubus is Latin for 'nightmare', it's not Esperanto (= koŝmaro).

It is also a kind of demon: the male counterpart of a succubus. (Both succubi and and an incubus appear in this movie, so I wouldn't count on it being the nightmare meaning.) Plus, I thought the most common word for 'nightmare' in Esperanto was 'inkubsonĝo' and 'koŝmaro' was a more poetic way of saying it, like 'primavero' vs. 'printempo.'

Kirilo81:incubus is Latin for 'nightmare', it's not Esperanto (= koŝmaro).
True, however the related form inkubo in Esperanto does mean nightmare as well as a demon. For nightmare there's also premsonĝo.

Long time since I saw it. But I vaguely remember it as pretty awful and confirm Tom's point about using it as a model. There was another film wasn't there, called Angoroj or something like that, which again I vaguely remember was unwatchable.

Ooh. According to Wikipaedia there were some famous Esperantists involved in Angoroj. So why do I remember it as so uninspiring.

If you want to watch videos of Esperanto spoken really well, Dave, you should search out the U-tube recordings of speeches by Professor Ivo Lapenna at various congresses.

I expect there are transcripts of these somewhere on the net.

I actually own Incubus on DVD. The Esperanto is close to incomprehensible, but it's a pretty good movie. My non-esperantist friends watched it once for some laughs, but everyone was at least a little captivated. It's good to have on at halloween parties.
