A Hobbit-movie-related question: Can you kill a dragon with a yew bow and a black arrow?
I love it when people use MATH to answer these fannish questions!
And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Reading that just reminds me how much PJ changed about that whole situation for the movies.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
My brother has finally bestowed upon us a Christmas list. On it are most of the Miyazaki/Ghibli canon in DVD format. I was looking at the Disney releases, and some people were hating on the dub-translation*.
In people's considered opinions, are these people full of shit or no?
* I got Mononoke (not Disney) with relative confidence because Neil.

If they hate the dubbed version, they can always just choose subtitles in the DVD menu. That said, I think the Disney voice casting for the ones I've seen dubbed are quite good.

I expect he is likely to watch the Japanese with captions, but I try to cover my bases.

Ooh! Nausicaa wasn't previously released full-length. That seems like a compelling reason to get the Disney.

I concur. I like the dubs just fine.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
They did some good voice-acting on the Disney. Some of the older Miyazaki movies I actually watched un-dubbed and un-subtitled, with someone to vaguely translate the Japanese, and they were still good watching that way.

Theo, I find that not even remotely hard to believe.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Based on trailers alone, I am more excited for Christopher Nolan's cinematographer's movie than Christopher Nolan's movie.
(To be fair, the latter is a teaser. Hope the full trailer has more of a hook.)
