Quite remarkable to go off and do something completely unique. Not every experimental film works but this one does marvellously - and all made for $218! So, should I lend the children the video camera or not??? I saw Tarnation (well most of it; the reasons for leaving are too long to explain) and wow!

Totally agree - I hate dubbed films and TV. How to lose 80% of the actors' (and therefore the characters') emotion in one easy stroke. The difficulty comes when taking my bilingual daughters to the cinema. I can't always make them wait til the DVD of a film comes out because *I* won't watched dubbed stuff. The worst things are the recent string of too-clever-by-half cartoons. Saw Shark Gang (or whatever it's called) the other day, and apart from the fact that it was full of jokes that sailed as far above the children's heads as the ships in the film, I STILL felt it was dubbed. And it's a CARTOON. I mean what's that all about? But if you know a character is played by Will Smith, you want Will Smith (debatable I know, but you get the idea). And I'm ashamed to say I watch Sky these days. It allows the kids to watch endless programmes on animal cruelty (ostensibly it's prevention and punishment for offenders), and of course to compare and contrast Charmed in VF and VO. At least they get to hear a wide variety of music too, but that's an entirely different bouillon de poisson. Love the blog by the way. I feel quite similar of wavelength, having been here for 14 years nearly. Dubbing is really dreadful. Totally agree - I hate dubbed films and TV.

Or even dubbed tv programmes (vive le cable!) I cannot abide them. Even if the film is in Japanese, I prefer to hear the actor speaking and read the subtitles.
