“えいが を み に いきたかったら ”Cineplex” に いきたい です。
If we go to see a movie, I want to go to “Cineplex.””(From: http://www.textfugu.com/season-5/tara/7-7/#top)
Wouldn’t a better English version be something like ” If we want to go see a movie, I want to go to “Cineplex.” “, because of the 「いきたかったら」– ‘if want to go’?
At first I thought 「いきたかったら」was an error because based on the English version shouldn’t it just be 「いったら」？毎秒は一世一代。You are right. It’s really a weird sentence overall though, yeah?
えいがをみにいったら、Cineplexがいい。 Sounds better to me in both languages.
Yeah. The written sentence is “If we want to go see a movie, I want to go to Cineplex”, which is downright clunky.
