i watched spirited away last night with john, who kept falling asleep. i found this highly insulting, as this was the 3rd time that i was playing the movie for him. what i found even more insulting though was trying to watch the movie with the disney american dubbing, which we did for reasons unbeknownst to me. i suppose it’s kind of a childrens film and yeah, white kids wanna watch it too, but why did they have to redub? why couldn’t they just turn it into a learning exercise and tell the little kids of the english speaking world to learn the fuck how to read? not only is the script completely dumbed down (i assume to further accommodate the small children/idiot adults who just won’t ‘get it’ without everything being spelled out), but the people who voice the characters all have terrible whiny voices and accents and it all just sounds awful. awful awful awful. ESPECIALLY the kid who plays chihiro – that bitch sounds like a smart ass you would never want to babysit.
ohhh, internet, sorry i’m such a dick.
Such a dick JWO!
blow me.
I think they should dub but they should do it phonetically with the japanese actors.
thanks adrian, someone needed to say it
