Odds and ends May 28, 2020: Laputa, Superman, and other stuff.

Well, I've been trying to find a copy of Laputa: Castle in the Sky with the first Latin American dub. Sadly whatever found is that most of the copies of the movie have the Spanish dub from Spain. Many years ago I had already seen Castle in the Sky, but it was the English dub the one where, colonel Muska was played by Mark Hamill and Sheeta was played by Anna Paquin. But this movie has a secret. The floating Island of Laputa has a darker meaning in Spanish... Thewhore Island= La isla de Laputa. 

This means that in Spanish speaking communities there have been a couple of memes about Laputa. Most of them involved Spain dub, I want the Latin American one for a personal reason. The Latin American dub, puts a bit of more emphasis on the Puta part of Laputa... this makes Pazu, the boy who finds Sheeta sound like he's REALLY TRYING WAY TOO HARD TO LOSE HIS VIRGINITY. And the voice actor is also the same one who voiced Ryoga Hibiki on the earlier episodes of Ranma 1/2.

It seems that Henry Cavill is back as the Man of Steel. WB had him sign up for some stuff. Personally I'd rather keep him as Geralt of Rivia... but if he's reprising his role as Kal-El I hope that they keep Hack Snydurr as far away from this as possible. Let's face it can pull off a decent Superman when Snyder is not directing. Also, WB hasn't gotten their stuff together with the direction they're taking with the DC universe. On one hand they want to move away from the Snyder disaster that wad the DCEU, but on the other hand, they keep dragging that rotting, festering corpse.

No freaking way... Josh Trank doesn't want to do a Trank4stic cut of his abominable 4 movie. That's a commendable move. I applaud him for that. Why submit the world to such torture off and even longer version of fan4stic.

Spider-Man is getting a new Funko POP. It's based on the 60s series. It's the infamous Spider-Man pointing at Spider-Man meme. Comic book purists can use this as cheap Spidey clones for their POP collections.
