80's Shenaningans

So at this time I'm going to try to multitask and watch the live action film version of "Death Note", which I've been highly anticipating forever, think about all the 80's songs that are scrolling over and over again in my head, and write this while still retaining some semblance of wit. If the semblance fails than I'm sorry for the possible grammatical errors as well as ill developed opinions.

If you haven't seen "Death Note", I suggest it. I would link it from Hulu but I'm simply too lazy to do so at this time. Although my anime phase disappeared when I realized that being an intellectual was more fun in high school, once and awhile a show will pique my interest. "Death Note" played out like a feature film until about episode 20. The twists and turns made up for the overall daunting tone of the show. If the writing wasn't so damn good I don't know if I would have stuck with it for as long as I did. Worth a shot if the day is going slowly. We are watching the live version of the film dubbed, brings me back to the old Jackie Chan films...I love Asian cinema.

Now my original topic is dead...who really wants to read about 80's music anyway. Go listen to some, I think we all share the same general thoughts.

Ah the dubbing. I can't get over it. Most of the time I can't place the voice with the person at all. Like a pre pubescent boy speaking out of the mouth of a gangster. Maybe it was for effect, but it's lost in the sound of my own laughter. It all reminds me of the original "Iron Chef", a show which I used to watch religiously during one of the most boring summers of my life when I lived on a futon that was continually covered in sand by my brother, which also took multiple beatings in order to transform into an actual horizontal bed-type thing, and the end result was a bed that looked like an upside down see-saw. Yes that was a run on sentence, insert a semi colon if you wish.

Anyways, "Iron Chef"...I just recently revisited the show when I saw it playing on some random channel at my parents. Sometimes I think that the voice actors take such great pride in the fact that they can produce a giggle that rivals that of a...small child on helium? Yeah, that's about right. Ah it's a great show. The chairman was like a Michael Jackson wannabe ring-man from a Japanese circus. I really do love any Asian based cinema/TV.
