You're thinking of Darth Revan.

I honestly couldn't tell you. I was watching Salo (I think that's how it's spelled) and, er, Irreversible (sp??), and I didn't feel quite as awkward as watching Death Wish II and some other flick.

I hate when American movies that are supposed to be located in a foreign place or something are completely in English. Totally ruins the movie experience. Hitler didn't speak fucking english on the reg.

You know what's even worse? When they're dubbed. Like in Inglourious Basterds, when all the Americans were speaking German and then had a disussion (in German) about how difficult it was to get into the cinema because they don't speak German.
Dubbing movies has to be one of the dumbest and most annoying inventions ever.

Agreed. Although I liked Inglorious Basterds, I thought they did a good job with switching between the different languages

Thank god the only dubbed movies here are cartoons and some movies aimed for children ~5. Though they are all still available in original language.

I don't think I mind. I do avoid watching too many films from the same place, however, even though I've got a soft spot for Swedish and Japanese drama.

I feel your pain. I rofl'd one day watching "I know what you did last summer" because everyone sounded Brazilian in the dubbed version (obviously), so it was extremely awkward to watch them perplexed about what the capital of Brazil is, and then having the courage to say "Rio de Janeiro". It's like watching it in German, and the actor guessing that the capital of the Bundesrepublik Deutschland is Bonn. Sounds dated, to say the least

I can understand why people may choose to dub cartoons, but if you live in a country with widespread literacy, this makes no sense whatsoever.
