Me and Romance Movies

Today, I came across something interesting while I was browsing the “That guy with the glasses” site: An article about romance movies for men.

Well, since I’m a bit of a movie-person(Although I like silent films the best, thankyou very much), I checked the article out and came to some astonishing relevations.

 Now before I continue further, I must say this: Yes, I’m a girl, and no, I do not like romance movies. If it has explosions and action, yes, I’ll probably watch it. If it’s old, filmed in the 1910-1930’s, I’ll watch it. If it’s funny, I’ll probably give it a try. I’m usually not that picky with my movies, they can frankly be pretty predictable and half-bad if they’re to serve as temporary entertainment, except if it’s a romance movie.

Romance stories and dramas can be beautifull, yes, but in order to appeal to me, it has to be something really, really, really good. Because I really can’t stand those movies that are all about some stereotyped chick in her 20’s-30’s, who dons make-up and thinks clothes are her life. I mean, hold on. I don’t know any people around me who acts like that. I don’t act like that. So why the heck should I bother watching? It’s the same crap in every movie, right? Girl-falls-love-with-guy, one-of-them-screws-up, they-get-together-at-the-end-anyway.

Guess what? That list proved me wrong.
The descriptions of every movie actually made them seem like movies I’d watch. Why? Because, a) They’re mostly funny, and b) They actually seem to have a decent story.

So, if you don’t like romance movies, try that list. Really, there’s lots of really good movies on it! And the sappy-predictable-romance-frilly-bullshit is far, far away. :)

Swedish dubbing: Anime

Hello guys!

Ugh, saving up is so hard… But I made it. I made it. I saved up 500 SEK to buy myself some books with, ^W^ So I finally ordered Cyborg 009. I have the first two books, but it’s out of print, so it’s not in stock anywhere I live… (Cute Joe is Cute) And, I found out that it was actually released in Sweden during the 80’s with Swedish dub. Sweden, like a few european contries during the 80’s-early 90’s, imported a decent amount of anime from Japan. And while Sweden does decent dubbing on high-budget Disney films and so…

Well, they didn’t give anime much quality. The best anime dub I know is Digimon, and that was imported from 4kids. Most Swedish anime is dubbed with unfitting voices and has a cast of 3-7 voice-actors. The result, if you like bad movies, usually turn out hilarious. I try and buy them if I can find them, for the FAIL=WIN factor.

Take the Terra E dub, for instance. There was one man dubbing Jomy, Toni and Soldier Blue(They never translated his name. It sounded really wierd.), and he made them all sound like old men. They messed up translating several lines, ending in conversations that were impossible to follow and qoutes like
“We will fight them.. And after that, we will make freinds!”

Everybody were laughing their asses off. Even the grown-ups and a girl who hated comedy.

…Back to the 009 dub.
Turns out, it’s avadible on youtube. It’s fantastic, really. There is one person, ONE SINGLE PERSON doing an entiere fifty episode series. Sure, he was a decent voice actor, but, man. He did the girls, the children, it all sounded really stupid and wierd. His grammar was very lulzworthy, too. I mean, in a “People die if they are killed…” sense.
Link(It’s in Swedish, gomen…):

I simply must have this dub. I’m pretty sure this isn’t fansubbed, either… :D

Oh, and for those of you who don’t speak Swedish, here’s an extra. I went on a Rock drawing spree in class today:

Vocaloid

Since it’s been a while now, I’ve decided to clean out my entries (Boy, did that feel good!) and start anew in this little corner of the world that we call the internet.

So, I thought it might be nice to share some of my favorite Vocaloid songs with you, :3

 1. Adolescense-Another Cendrillion by Kagamine Twins
http://se.youtube.com/watch?v=hC8AP6gsHq4&feature=channel_page
I must admit-I’m a sucker for Kagamincest. But this one is actually pretty good, has a pretty video and great music.

2. Go Go Mario by Hatsune Miku
http://se.youtube.com/watch?v=NEu0WqMv6Hk&feature=channel_page
Everybody likes Mario, right? And Vocaloid+Mario makes for an adorable video.

3. Old Radio by Kaito
http://se.youtube.com/watch?v=tVGrqjKHz5Q&feature=channel_page
Truly, one of Kaito’s best songs. It’s got a cool story, too.

4. Give Back My Pants! by Len Kagamine
http://se.youtube.com/watch?v=0Shd8wxlFIg&feature=channel_page
Isn’t Len-kun cute? He’s so shota in this… But that’s just cuter. ^W^

5. Prinsoner by Len Kagamine
http://se.youtube.com/watch?v=CnSdZPhvFhw&feature=channel

Beutifull… ;__; If you love Kagmine-twins, you’ll love this. The video has varying art quality, but the words and story make it worth watching.

6. Hitobashira Alice/Human Sacrifice Alice by Kagamine, Miku, Kaito, and Meiko
http://se.youtube.com/watch?v=PdcFAl-Ho6I&feature=channel
Sick, twisted, and well-worth watching. My taste exactly!

7. Dolls by Rin Kagamine
http://se.youtube.com/watch?v=Es8fClakbrU&feature=channel_page
I don’t know the story that well, but the art is lovely, and the song really strikes tears.

8. Goodbye For Physicist by Hatsune Miku
http://se.youtube.com/watch?v=DZm3o_WFy_o&feature=channel_page
Yes, the video is wierd. But it kinda makes sense if you can read the lyrics, preferribly matching the song to the text.

9. Uninstall by Kaito
http://se.youtube.com/watch?v=tiKZgymNqnk&feature=channel_page
Yan-dere Kaito. :3 This song is so sad…

10. The “Hungry” Song by Miku Hatsune
http://se.youtube.com/watch?v=jbCbcNsYuZw&feature=channel_page
This song is kinda slowy, but fits very well when you want to take it easy.

11. Let’s Return To Zero by Len Kagamine
http://se.youtube.com/watch?v=WsiDTDFWyxM
RAWCK! Kinda simulates the feeling of the very last boss battle in a video game.
