How Do You Say 'Procrastination' In Spanish?

There's a website called jaman.com (via PopWatch) that lets you create your own subtitles for a curated selection of clips from foreign films. It's pretty much more useful than Google. Looks like we're going to break the record for the cost in productivity to businesses by non-work-related web use in Q2. Here is my first attempt:

I'm basically the best at dialogue. Hollywood stopped asking me to write all the screenplays because my characters were TOO three-dimensional. At a certain point people just want to see a movie, you know, and not have a mirror held up to their lives.

Create your own here.

By "tip" I assume you mean "jar of urine."
