It most certainly does.

I think there's only 6 people doing the voiceovers (and subtitles) for every single foreign movie here in Japan.

A young woman
A young man
An old woman
An old man
A girl
A boy

Always the same voices!

That might explain why it takes so long.

Yes, yes. That will surely be it. They either get paid very little, or it is a good job to go into!

who does the animal character voice overs then?

One of the following

A young woman
A young man
An old woman
An old man
A girl
A boy

Don't be silly, animals don't talk.



I'll let you all know how the Church of Quigley movie is.

They do often seem to be the same people don't they?! .

Looking forward to seeing the bond but I sure will see it before it is released here. Surely so late hurts most movies?

That theme tune is bloody awful.

worlwide premmie 29 Oct. So that means the DVDs would be out 28 Oct.

That Japan release date is crazy, it really is.

we've been through this. The voice over people won't be free 'til Jan.

I understand.

Very mixed reviews now for the new Bond.

Out tomorrow I think I'll see it over the weekend.

As long as they used this as the theme song I'll be happy

mixed reviews?

good, great and fantastic kind of mixed?

No..... totally crap <> really good, love or hate kind of mixed.

Seems the plot (and editing) is fairly 'complex' and if you haven't seen Casino Royale, you can forget it!

Curious to see how I like it.

Yes quite mixed by the looks - too dark, editing all over the place, not much 'fun' seem to be the main critisisms.

I think it looks good actually. The opposite of the cheesy Moore thing going on. Though they would be wise not to dump all the "Bond" stuff, in fact Daniel has been saying that the next one might be more lighthearted and see Q and Moneypenny etc return.

I've seen Casino, and I think it was too violent.

Well, you might not like this one then. It is more violent and action than Casino Royale.

I liked it. I think. It kind of felt rushed in places - especially compared to CR which was a bit too long, but that was the style they were going for. It's certainly not a barrel of laughs.

Need to see it again. But I really think they need to reign it back in and inject some lightness and humour next time.
