I love the older dub. The voices in that, particularly of the Colonel, just crack me up. And since that was the first one I saw, whenever I see one of the other dubs, the voices just sound WRONG to me.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Always Anti-fascist!
In an unrelated topic, I'm getting annoyed with some of my fellow netflix renters, who apparently decide to use discs as coasters and spill stuff on them before they send them back. And it always happens after I've spent an hour on the movie already...just, grr. Brings out the George Costanza in me. "We're in a *society* people."

Thrive to spite them
I'm currently miffed about the turn around time with Netflix. I sent back 2 dvds. They both got back on the same day, I was notified to expect Jerimiah the next day, Tuesday. It got here Tuesday. Tuesday I got an notification that Fake (anime) would be here on Friday. Except it's now Saturday and it's not here, so maybe Monday.

Your tag here.
askye: personally, I'd blame the USPS.

Thrive to spite them
Not getting here Friday I might blame on the postal service, but it's happened before that Netflix will get several of my discs on the same day and that I'll get 1 disc that should be here the next day (and is) and then another disc that shipped out the day after the first and isn't supposed to get here for 3 or so days. And then is late.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
le nubian told me, when the something similar was happening to me, that if you are watching and returning the discs quickly, they will put a delay on some of them, so you can't watch as many in a month.
Don't know if this is the case here.

Compassionately intolerant
It might be the individual distribution center too. I live less than 15 miles from a Netflix hub and I'm stunned by the rapid turnaround time. Of course, in the years that I've had the subscription, a few bad things have happened but, on the whole, this center does a great job.
However, I'm totally in the *society* crankage. It seems like at least two out of three discs that land in my mailbox have schmootz of some sort smeared all over them...or gashes I don't notice until the ingenue is about to let free her heaving bosom or the baddie is about to get his.
Fus-ter-ating.

I'm pretty sure that not every distribution center has every DVD on-hand. So if you're getting more obscure items, that's probably why there's a delay.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
when Harvey Weinstein was charged with handling the US release of Princess Mononoke, Miyazaki sent him a samurai sword in the post. Attached to the blade was a stark message: "No cuts."
The director chortles. "Actually, my producer did that. Although I did go to New York to meet this man, this Harvey Weinstein, and I was bombarded with this aggressive attack, all these demands for cuts." He smiles. "I defeated him."

Hey. New board.
Serial Experiments: Lain gives me quite the mindfuck, but I believe that's intentional for viewers of all nationalities. I have had no issues with Ghost in the Shell, Akira, any Miyazaki movies, or Evangelion.
