Reply to Anyone else hate 3D movies? by sadlibra

I only hate them b/c I have a lazy eye, so the 3D effect doesn't work for me since I'm only looking at the screen with one of my eyes at a time.

I love the Star Wars OT, and the prequels to a certain extent, because they tell the story of the rise, fall, and redemption of Anakin Skywalker. But he was never the main character in any of the movies… you could argue they focused more on Obi Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker, and their relationship to Anakin/Darth Vader.

Reply to comment by Pixiefoxcreature in What thriller/crime series to watch? Not longer than 50 episodes, interesting cases, plot twists... by kmptkmptkmpt

You have to watch till episode 3 atleast. Twin peaks came at a time when there were no shows like it. It came out 33 years ago. Obviously there are gonna be some things which haven’t aged properly. I suggest episode 3 is the one that hooks a lot of people. Sure it’s strange, but it is a damn good murder mystery and overall the best mystery I’ve ever experienced

I wasn't able to watch it because of the musical score. Sure, it is beautiful, but by the third time it repeats exactly the same way (all within the first few minutes of the first episode ffs), and places the "emotional crecendo" at exactly the same spot, I stopped giving a shit about what was going on in the storyline, i was just counting down to the next crecendo, knowing that that is exactly when they'll express some emotion or do something "big". And the "big" didnt even feel big because it had been counted down to with music - it just felt like blah blah blah for the sake of blah blah blah, just to put something where the music demands it. And the music comes on every fucking scene, the show is just barraging you with "big moments" which all together just feel unnecessary, forced and outright dumb.

ps. I managed to watch 1 episode and 15min because it was recommended to me, but jesus fucking christ that is time that i will never get back. It is a mystery to me how other people can enjoy the show, do they not notice the formula or not care about it?

Reply to Dubbed from English to English? by andrewfromx

Difficult to say as there isn't much production information easily available online (at least not in English).

According to your link the original language was Portuguese, so it would need to have been dubbed. Sometimes foreign films will shoot 2 takes, one in the native language and one in English for the international market. In that circumstance they may still need re-dubbing or ADR if the actor's English is not so good, but it has the advantage that mouth movement will match dialogue.

Who produces the dub also matters, as sometimes the distributor in each region, not the original studio, handle it. As an example there is an American dub and a separate British dub for the ghibli film Arriety.
