I Have Just Seen... VII

[Manco]

WHEEEEEOOOOOOOO-K'PASH

Sorry, that's just Joe's respect for Manco crashing through the floor.

The only anime I’ve ever watched is an adaptation of a video game. I doubt he had any to begin with.

Yes, but it sucks. I urge you to watch the sub because the voice actors are so damn perfect.

What’s the point in a perfect voice if I can’t understand it?

That's why you read the subtitles.

I've thoroughly enjoyed some (Eureka Seven, Moribito, Darker than Black) of the dubs I've seen, it just needs a good studio. Let's see...

Sentai Filmworks licensed the series in North America and released it on Blu-ray and DVD on August 26, 2014.[29]

uh

Yeah, you're better off not watching it.

[Manco]

That's why you read the subtitles.

But then I’m not watching, I’m reading.

Yeah, you're better off not watching it.

Eeh surely it can’t be that bad.

[MeechMunchie]

The Cromartie High School dub is good. And that one where they didn't bother to read the script.

[Job McYossie]

Please tell me it was Sands of Destruction. I really love show, despite never playing the game it was based off of. If not, I do recommend it, it's been a few years since I saw it so it might not be as fantastic as my memory is tells me it is, but I bet it's still good.
Oh, and it's got dubs.

[Manco]

Please tell me it was Sands of Destruction.

Nope, never heard of it. I watched the adaptation of Persona 4, which I also heartily recommend, especially if you’ve played the game.

Oh, and it's got dubs.

Clearly it should be destroyed.

[Job McYossie]

Oh the P4 adapation. Can't watch it yet, still want to beat the game. Speaking of which, the P3 movie came out recently (and they changed the main character's name, again) though it's still only in subs. Still though, I plan on watching that and then complaining about it.

[Wings of Fire]

There is nothing inherently wrong with the concept of dubbing, even though I'd never watch a dub myself if the sub was available.

It's just Sentai Filmworks are notorious for being... well...





They're well known for slaughtering good dub performances with terrible scripts and direction. Tomoko's actually got a pretty good English VA but I can't see it not sounding like shit.

[MeechMunchie]

Meanwhile...

[Job McYossie]

Is that that same guy I see pictures of eating pencils?

[MeechMunchie]

I expect so.

I've been meaning to watch Clannad. I probably won't be watching the dub, though.

She's actually not that bad.

Compared to everything else by Sentai.

[Varrok]

I've just watched The Shawshank Redemption. It's a '90s movie about a redemption from a Shawshank prison. I loved it. It was truly amazing, one of the best movies I have ever seen.

[OANST]

One of two movies made from Stephen King books that actually turned out really well.

[Xavier]

Which is the other one according to you?

[OANST]

Stand By Me.

[Wings of Fire]

Misery is pretty good. Mostly due to Kathy Bates.

[OANST]

Misery is pretty good. Mostly due to Kathy Bates.

I actually forgot about that one. Dolores Claiborne was pretty damn good, too. Okay. Make that four.

[Varrok]

I haven't watched many King movies, but some of them looked very silly. With sky vaginas and clowns.

[OANST]

All the good ones have no supernatural elements in them.

[Xavier]

I have a soft spot for Rosered, I know it's not an amazing movie but for some reason I like it very very much

[Nepsotic]

The Shining, guys. The Shining.

[Varrok]

All the good ones have no supernatural elements in them.

I liked the Green Mile.
It'd be better without that whole insects from mouth thingy

[OANST]

Green Mile has some good moments, but I wouldn't call it a really good movie. Same for The Shining.

You know what? Carrie was pretty good. I'm just going to shut the fuck up, and back away from this conversation now.

[Nepsotic]

No no no no no, you can't just say that The Shining wasn't a really good film and then run off. Get back here and explain yourself.

[Varrok]

I don't know much about Shining other than there's a nice Black Sabbath song by the name. I'd like to hear your opinions about the movie, whats the fuss all about?

[Nepsotic]

It's possibly some of the best directing I've ever seen in a film, for one thing.

[Manco]

I need to see more Kubrick films.

Anyway I just watched The Good, The Bad and The Ugly for the first time in a good year or two. Seems the blu-ray version I picked up has a few extra scenes added in compared to my DVD copy. Still love it, but it might have stretched it out a bit too long I think.

[Nate]

All the good ones have no supernatural elements in them.

I've never seen The Green Mile but I've read the book, and I completely agree with you. It was a beautifully atmospheric character study that was completely destroyed by the big, dumb, magic man and the ridiculous plot swerves sparked off by his existence.
