[QUOTE="Kaodi, post: 2454850, member: 1231"] [b]Dubbing[/b] Two things about this: a) A lot of what people hate about dubbing probably has to do with instances of BAD dubbing. If I see a Hong Kong Jackie Chan film, ideally it would be great to have him to the dubbing himself, but barring this, have someone with a similar accent and voice, and it isn't too bad. There is one of his films though, where his voice seems to have been done by some large jawed, butch Causasian male, and it sounded pretty bad coming from his character. There is just something -way- more aesthetic about hearing the right voice from the right person. If that annoys you, so be it, but I believe it to be the truth. b) I don't mind dubbing in anime at all. I don't think I have ever seen an anime cartoon with subtitles, though I'd like to. Since these are cartoons, there isn't really an inherent right voice, though there are still original voices, good voices and bad voices. I think most anime fanboys probably are turned off by performances that truly are subpar when compared to the original Japanese. There is some other disturbing trend that I was going to post about, but I can't seem to remember what it was at this moment... Oh yes... I really -despise- seeing commercials at the theatre, at least ones that have nothing to do with the theatre experience itself. I could stomach ones for food stuffs (no pun intended, really) available from the concession, but I do not want to see a freakin' car commercial or cell phone ad at the theatre. On the other than, I don't mind, I even look forward to, trailers for movies that aren't coming out yet, especially for ones that won't be out for a while. I know some people complain about having to sit through like twenty of these, but as long as two or three of those twenty were worth it, and the rest were interesting or mediocre, it's all good.
