- dubbed? fie on thee!! -- nm - hyde si Mar 2, 11:15 7
  - I'm fairly sure it has the dubbed and original language tracks. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 2, 11:16 6
    - I think so too, but I also think Disney does fantastic dub tracks for the Ghibli films. -- nm - TFox Mar 2, 11:17 5
      - I don't have a problem with dubbed animation, it's not like we're missing out on the full performance of the cartoon characters. -- nm - Ender Mar 2, 11:21 4
        
        I just think filmmaking tends to reflect the sensibilities of it original language. Dubbing, no matter how skillfully done, rings false in my ears. - znufrii Mar 2, 11:41 2
        
        of course it does. -- nm - TFox Mar 2, 11:43
        
        i hate it for live action. for cartoons it would annoy the shit out of me to have the original language - jingoist pixie Mar 2, 11:43

    - I assume so too. Callisto says it is. Spawn says it isn't. - TFox Mar 2, 11:16 1
      - It plays very, very young. Interpret that how you will. -- nm - David Mar 2, 11:49
Complete list. It's quite flawed and very US-heavy, but it is SI after all. - Shaun Mar 2, 11:10 2
- Five of the top 15 have a Canada reference, so I would say it's fairly Canadian-heavy as well. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 2, 11:13 1
  - 15. Canada Embarrasses Russia. Hehe. -- nm - Shaun Mar 2, 11:15

TFox: The impediment that I see: Different people are on boards at different times. - ty97 Mar 2, 10:55 2
- I guess I just think that if people didn't like the conversation style here, they wouldn't use it so much. - TFox Mar 2, 10:58 1
  - The difference, I think is her on the boards, the topic(s) are very open and free form. A book discussion is very focused. (nm) - musubi Mar 2, 11:15
