Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'm wathing The Hidden Fortress. The dubbing is a little annoying but it's mostly on the entertaining side of cute. I got it confused with Kurosawa's masterpiece. I wonder why they didn't translate it as The Suspended Fortress. Isn't that what the original French, La Forteresse Suspendue translates to?

Literally yes. I haven't seen it, but suspendu is most often translated as hanging. But it could also mean perched atop something. Or suspended in the sense of deferred, stopped.

Maybe they figured suspended was open to too many interpretaions and they didn't want to translate it as hanging and have people think of nooses. The fortress in the movie is up in the trees. It's pretty awesome.

The movie is like the best after school special ever. The fortress is friggin' sweet.
edit: my biggest issue is not having a choice on the language.

Was there a French audio option, just with no subtitles? Or was there only the dubbed version?
