Anime: Subbed or Dubbed?

Remember Doogal? There are two versions of the film. The US version was rewritten and redubbed. They are different movies using the same animation. This is pretty much true of Dragon Ball Z. There is almost nothing the same as far as the script and what the characters say. The classic "Over 9000!" meme is false, as it was really over 8,000. Some may say that the dialogue cannot be exactly the same because of the matching of lip flaps, but the dubbing of DBZ went so far as to change the nature of characters. Yamucha went from standing up Bulma because he was ashamed of not having money from lack of a job, to cheating on her with another woman. Entire characters that continued from Dragon Ball were removed, characters that had major significance.

Worst Movies of 2013

Perhaps the list you have been waiting for, this is my list for the Worst Movies of 2013. A few things about this list: I do not watch every movie that comes out, so I am sure there are plenty of other movies (*cough*horrormovies*cough*) that are worse, but this is my list. This is not to say that you have to hate these movies, only that these had serious flaws to them. Above all, this should be used as fun, and to help you recognize bad movie making so you can recognize it in the future.

Best Movies of 2013

It is finally here! My list of the best movies of 2013. A few things about this list: I do not watch every movie that comes out. I make a list at the beginning of the year of movies I would like to see, and depending on trailers I see, or if I happen across a movie that looks interesting, I watch those. The list is also dependent on my personal tastes in movies. While I try to explain my reasons for why these movies are on the list, hopefully it will be clear why some are higher or lower in the list. This list is also by no means saying your likes or dislikes are invalid, or that this list is definitive. The real purpose of this list is to give anyone the opportunity to see what may be the best films of the year so they can see them if they have not yet seen them.

 Between Season 1 and 2 of Misscliks, the crew of the Nealing Siren were on the run. They lost a member of the crew. This is just one of the stories that happened. Disclaimer: This is not fully canon.

The Problem with the Internet is You: How to Fix It

There are a myriad of problems people have with what others post on Facebook from the duck faces to the problems no one seems to care about, but I noticed a prevailing problem that has persisted since the Internet's early inception. In the late 1990s, chain letters were a fairly huge problem. Jokes forwarded so many times that the > in front of every line extended the actual message off the screen. There were plenty of hoaxes, false or simply no longer true. And finally pictures passed on that would clog your inbox and use up bandwidth having to download the same email from five different people who have all spread it like a swarm.
