Why would they be interested in what we have to offer? What's the last good movie we made? Lemme start counting the months since... Nuts, counting is hard, I'll sit in front of the TV... Nuts, remote just out of reach... eh this show isn't that bad... Hmm, an infomercial. You know what that is? It's information that you get from a commercial! They can't lie, for some reason I think commercials are all telling the truth.
But really, it is nice to have english voices and having them synch up. I mean, it makes for a better experience. As for english voices, well the thing is, I don't know about you, but when I'm reading I can't focus on the scene at the same time. I gotta pick when to read and when to watch. I read fast enough that it generally isn't an issue, but it sucks to have to rewind a scene because you were busy reading something while something else was happening. Voice actors just need to get better, that's all. Metal Gear Solid has good voice acting, well, sometimes they make poor choices... You know that British sounding captain on the plane in MGS3? You know, he's there the whole game? Well, he's NOT British sounding! I played the demo, the one with the Japanese voices, and he sounds much better. He sounded rough and tough, not like some pansy British person. (Sorry, but that accent really is wimpy.)
Eh, anyway if all I have is subtitles, I'll take it gladly to see a movie I want to see. I won't see a movie I can't understand at ALL mind you (not translated in the least) because, while I'm sure I can gather a few things, I won't be able to get the experience as it was intended at all. I prefer dubbed voices, IF DONE EXACTLY AS WELL AS THE ORIGINAL ACTORS, but so long as I don't miss anything important while reading, subtitles aren't a problem to me. As for lip synching.. what do people expect there anyway? People complain, but they aren't offering solutions. What, do they want some CG to fix that problem? Ugh... that would look terrible... CG, even Star Wars CG, just is NOT good enough to look completely real and seamless there. Just accept that you either will need to read or you'll need to just ignore the lip synching.
That all said, big deal if people don't see some movies. Not like the movies you've seen determine if you are an intellectual or not, it's just fiction after all :D. That said... I do wish people would stop watching karp because watching the wave of terrible movies every year only gets them to make MORE aweful movies. People are too willing to "at least see it before they judge it". I mean, the movie companies don't care if you like it. Once you have payed for that ticket, they have their money. When everyone sees it "just to give it a chance", to the movie houses, that's GOOD ENOUGH. Ya gotta learn to tell what isn't worth seeing from the commericals alone. If the movie stinks, JUST DON'T GO! If the movie stinks... docedo!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
