there's only like two words in the entire language that happened to. there's got to be a reason besides a silly stylistic choice. why is Urth different and not, like, Sunne or Mun

i refuse to listen to a dub unless you can hear the original voices under it because the dubbing company didnt know how to separate audio tracks and didnt have the budget to hire someone who did

I went thrifting today and bought a bunch of CD's for under a dollar including two Uncle Kracker albums. I didn't know anything about him other than the name being vaguely familiar. I got two songs into the first CD before realizing I'd made a horrible mistake.

quote:

Garland was also asked about the vagueness of the war’s politics in his film. Civil War imagines a near-future dystopia where the United States has been torn apart under the authoritarian rule of a three-term president (Nick Offerman). The story follows a journalist (Kirsten Dunst) and her colleagues as they make their way across a hostile and divided states of America. Yet the film avoids typical red state/blue state divisions (Texas and California are allies). The conflict’s politics are left almost entirely unexplained leaving the viewer with no more clues about what led up to the battle beyond what’s already been revealed in the trailers (though one of the president’s first actions was to disband the FBI, which seems like a nod to Trump, who has called to “defund” the Bureau).

“I personally think questions are answered,” Garland said. “There is a fascist president who smashed the Constitution and attacked [American] citizens. And that is a very clear, answered statement. If you want to think about why Texas and California might be allied, and put aside their political differences, the answer would be implicit in that. So I think answers are there but you have to step to it and not expect to be spoon fed these things. It makes assumptions about the audience.

“The warnings [about the country falling apart] all out there, but for some reason they don’t get any traction,” he added. “[I wondered,] ‘Is it the polarization? Is it just that we are not able to absorb any information because of the position we’ve already taken?’ Hence, making a movie that pulls the polarization out of it.”

“Politics is not about right vs wrong or good vs bad. That’s idiotic. Anyway, the story here is there’s this one guy who’s like really really evil and he needs to be stopped”

In fairness any movie that hollywood guys made about an american civil war that did have politics in it would probably be incredibly cringe at this point.

A silly little mouse!
50% of anime dubbing problems could be solved by allowing them to edit the lip flaps so they don’t have to force out tortured unnatural sentences and cadences to fit the Japanese mouth movements. The other 50% would be having more than the same dozen people voicing every single character in every single anime and video game.

they would absolutely not see this is punishment, but evidence that the UK was still extremely important and in fact the colonials long for the stability of living under the divinely appointed british monarchs
