OT: Highly anticipated films
Some highly anticipated films before Christmas,
Casino Royale
Lets hope its better than the last Bond film. Too much with the special effects and the storyline was stretching things to say the least. Casino Royale goes back to the beginning with Bond as a rookie only having just got his 00 number. Its supposed to be much more character-driven and not so much emphasis on gadgets. More revolving around Bond's feelings and how he became who he is.
Borat
The Kazakh reporter returns, only this time to the big screen. This guy is unbelieveably funny, its not surprising its annoyed the Kazakh government so much. You just have to watch the trailer to see how it depicts Kazakh life. A horse-drawn car. "Please come see my movie else I execute."
Okay..

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THE HOROR
AHHHH
Ewww
Matt Damon is too old to play a young James T. Kirk. I mean Kirk's Captian at 30, and if XI is him as a cadet, then they're are going to need someone that looks kind of like Shatner at age 19 or so.
I'm still all for Star Trek: New Voyages version of Trek...just keeping the original mission going into the fourth and fifth year. Besides, Kirk's now an Elvis impersonator (that's the actor's real job), so he's now Captain and King.
I'm hoping the Yamato movie gets dubbed and released in the states...

*Groan*

If it will appear outside Japan, it'll probably be
after Christmas... 2007. That's why it wasn't on my list.

Sorry, but I find dubbing NEVER carries the same feeling in a movie. Better to here to original voices an dread the sub-titles.....even if it means watching the movie twice.
I FAR PREFER the original "Das Boot" to the dubbed version!!!
I agree...
...assuming, of course, they don't horribly butcher the subtitling... x_x
Now a new Space Battleship Yamato film, that might be something...if Disney doesn't do it as Space Battleship Arizona or something like that.
they don't horribly butcher the subtitling
It helps when you can speak more than one language. Or in the case of
this understand all four languages that are being spoken simultaneously...it does get confusing after a couple of minutes though.
Borat is the one to go and watch.
Trailer on youtube
I don't like dubbed films, the mouths moving when there is no sound is too distracting for me. Imagine Tora,Tora Tora with American sounding Japs like the poor film 1960s film Midway. It would not feel right. It always make me mad when you get those war films and the actors put on a German accent "Ve haf vays of making you talk, ja?"
I think dubbing is a good thing when done right.
In Germany it is generally used for all movies and there is a whole industry focused on dubbing. So all the guys are professionals and for all the characters actresses and actors are casted (also making sure it´s always the same for a certain actor - so Julia Roberts always has the same voice in German for example) to make sure the result is really good. In fact it´s quite rare that picture and sound do not fit together in a disturbing way.
On the other hand I know in other coutnries movies are often dubbed with one person speaking all roles - male and female etc. That could be annoying, I guess.
Peter Jackson is remaking the Dam Busters... poor Nigger gets squashed again... : (
Cheers,
PS. Hollywood is under no obligation to tell the truth.
I'd trust Spielberg or Cameron (and probably Jackson) to make a war movie. Bruckheimer just makes feature length beer commercials.
Well, it also helps that many evil guys are Germans (see Klaus Maria Brandauer in James Bond) - they often speak their parts again for a German version of their movies.
And finally German and English is quite similar anyway, so dubbing is fairly easy.
This may come as a shock Hoo but in Die Hard 3 the baddies were German in every language version around the world except... Germany - where they were from 'eastern Europe'.
Cheers,
PS. Shall we tell Hoo about that 'The Simpsons' episode?... OK we wont.
AIGF.
Aaaah..... Well, politics. :o)
I focused more in the "technical" part of dubbing which doesn´t include decisions if a character is or is not of a particular origin.
