Which by the medium's very nature is always dubbed. Unless its silent. Live action is a different story entirely. I'd rather have the real actors, real voice than some one else's.Lagomorph Rexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06385231158384929598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239062544101975016.post-12163812481704824082011-03-22T10:12:45.799-07:002011-03-22T10:12:45.799-07:00Hi, John.

It's an interesting story.<br /><br />I have Shuna's story but haven't read it yet...

It was so emphatically not-LeGuin that it was hard to take offense at it, unlike other movies that try more and fall harder.David Bratmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08090662884600828582noreply@blogger.com
