I may need to get this: Childhood. Even with the, ah, slightly wonky Japanese texts. (via)

Darth Vader says "No, I am your father" in 20 languages, all from official versions. German and Japanese are the best -- after James Earl Jones's original English dub, of course. (via)

The Great Emu War. (Not to be confused with The Cod Wars.) (via)

I thought Czech was pretty rug=chewing, but what were they thinking in the hebrew one? He sounds like a plane steward about to explain the floatation device.

Worst. Dub. Ever.

I don't know, man, I just can't get behind Darth Vader calling himself "washi"... the curse of "Role Language".

(The Chinese version was cool, very creepy processing.)

[larryhammer]

What, you expect him to use "ware"?

(BTW, your comment spamfilters have been false-positiving on all my recent replies on your blog -- even with extended text and no linkage.)

Note that it was only called The Great Emu War until 2021, after which it was simply known as "EW1".

[larryhammer]

Yeah, but that's still a few years off, so the old name is still good.

No worries -- it's not like something that well known will collapse a timeline. Or not ours, anyway.
