Jon Turner @jft28.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Agreed. I personally believe that it won't even last the rest of the year. I'm wishing for it, especially after Bonta and Martínez-Olguín disappointed me so badly. On the flipside, DIGGER, the merger's first entry has bombed, as will most of the others, save DUNE 3. 000
Jon Turner @jft28.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I personally feel that the WBD/Paramiunt deal won’t even last the rest of the year because it is too compromised a deal of the original thing to truly be a threat. That and a weak Q4 lineup and bleeding money means we could see the two studios break up, and Ellison terminated. It could happen. 31110
Jon Turner @jft28.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Good work everybody! I am very happy you guys are doing this. Not only should we crush the deal, we should crush Ellison’s career. Period, 171
Jon Turner @jft28.bsky.social · 05/09/2026They do this all the time. They have done so for years. Even the Ghibli dubs were made cynics did everything to determine they were bad and force that on everyone, trying to police reception.That was a toxic time. The releases of these movies here should have been celebratory but cynics ruined it. 011
Jon Turner @jft28.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Yeah, it is a great show… minus those island/Africa episodes. Also I am with you on the extra lines. Some of them were not necessary (Pazu and Sheeta commenting on the obvious). But the pirates banter was absolutely funny. 010
Jon Turner @jft28.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Oh definitely. I love this dub. Every minute of it. I will never understand how purists could say it is unlistenable. It never was. 110
Jon Turner @jft28.bsky.social · 27/08/2026He was very underrated in his role of Pazu. Mature sounding or not, he did a great job. 000
Jon Turner @jft28.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I thought he was actually pretty enjoyable. True, he was an eccentric casting choice but his delivery conveyed the cynicism and weariness of someone who had seen it all. 100
Jon Turner @jft28.bsky.social · 23/08/2026That was Cloris Leachman. And yes, she was tailor made for the role. 010

Jon Turner @jft28.bsky.social · 10/08/2026More like a sorta teenage boy, although technically he IS 14, but yes, James WAS very underrated. He brought a lot of enthusiasm and life to the role. I'm glad more people are sticking up for him now; he never deserved the backlash from those purists. Neither did Paquin. 010
Jon Turner @jft28.bsky.social · 02/07/2026But given that they still press cartridges for their games then it is fair to say they are keeping their word. 130
Jon Turner @jft28.bsky.social · 26/04/2026Have not seen Dick Tracy in years. Great production design, costumes, makeup, music, and fine turns from Madonna, Pacino, and Patinkin. But the film takes awhile to get going, and I am honestly indifferent about Beatty as Tracy. He’s kinda there. I did enjoy the film though. It’s decent enough. 020
Jon Turner @jft28.bsky.social · 24/04/2026Everyone remember: Rob Bonta is on the case. If anyone can stop the WH/Parmount merger it is him. The shareholder vote does not mean it is a done deal. 0208
Jon Turner @jft28.bsky.social · 14/04/2026I get there are fans who are suspicious, but honestly this can go either way. At least it should not be like the 93 Mario movie. 000
Jon Turner @jft28.bsky.social · 30/03/2026Those two were the highlights. But yes, James was woefully underrated. 020
Jon Turner @jft28.bsky.social · 30/03/2026That is a very refreshing thing to say. Purists were outraged over him making sound Pazu older and today some still are. But he did bring a lot of life to that role. 010
Jon Turner @jft28.bsky.social · 30/03/2026He was surprisingly good. Very energetic and enthusiastic when he needed to be, and down to earth, too. Hamill however stole the show. 010
Jon Turner @jft28.bsky.social · 30/03/2026Well that is a wild take. Hamill’s performance is widely considered a highlight. The film is also a thrilling action adventure with energetic scenes. Having a deadpan dub (like the Streamline version) just does not work. 000

If you haven't watched the dub you should give it a chance. He did a great job, he should have done more voice work.youtu.beBirds | Castle in the Sky AMVYouTube video by Rider4Z - Otaku Lounge Productions 021
Reposted by Jon Turnercctakato 🏳️⚧️ @cctakato.bsky.social · 11/02/2026I never watched Dawson’s Creek or much of the kinds of work James Van Der Beek was in, so for me the role I most associate with him was Pazu in Disney’s English dub of Castle in the Sky. I remember his casting being polarizing with fans but it’s still one of my favorite of Disney’s dubs. RIP. 011
Jon Turner @jft28.bsky.social · 30/03/2026My take: The Streamline dub is not good. Period. It suffers from stilted dialogue, lifeless voice acting, and lackluster direction, despite being more “accurate.” Disney’s dub is miles better, despite the leads sounding older, and honestly, you cannot go wrong with Hamill as Muska. 100
Jon Turner @jft28.bsky.social · 17/02/2026I had trouble playing it on Switch because of its issues. Switch 2 hopefully should be better. 000
Jon Turner @jft28.bsky.social · 11/02/2026I was one of the few who stood up for his work. May you rest in peace, James. Know that your performance is loved, no matter what anybody said. 000
Jon Turner @jft28.bsky.social · 11/02/2026I am positively saddened that we have lost another member of Castle in the Sky’s dub cast. This time it’s Pazu’s VA, James van der Beek. The cause: cancer, and at 48. How tragic. I always liked his Pazu and I always will. He definitely did not deserve the flak he took for the part. 100
Jon Turner @jft28.bsky.social · 05/02/2026It was good. FF VII Rebirth, Elliot release dates were great. 000
Jon Turner @jft28.bsky.social · 04/02/2026I am slightly unsure if that will happen but I know that Rebirth is coming either way so whether they announce it tomorrow or not is not that big of a deal. 000
Jon Turner @jft28.bsky.social · 30/01/2026The fact that it hit #1 and sold better than the PS5 version did on opening week is a good sign. Pity there have been people trying to spin this as a flop because honestly, for a late port it did solid business. 030
Jon Turner @jft28.bsky.social · 29/01/2026Some people are already spinning this and pushing a narrative that it bombed. 000
Jon Turner @jft28.bsky.social · 26/01/2026The timetables for the TV dub were right and so it was much more rushed as a result. While that may have been true if the OVA, the studio doing it had more experience. It had a great thorough line and competent direction. 010
Jon Turner @jft28.bsky.social · 26/01/2026Chronicles’ dub had moments when VAs dropped out of roles temporarily or permanently (Ortiz got sick and couldn’t play Deed for two episodes), and it seemed a bit more deadpan than the original. The studio was also inexperienced. The OVA dub was done better in every way, 010
Jon Turner @jft28.bsky.social · 26/01/2026Agreed. I have always liked this dub—the OVA that is. The one for Chronicles of the Heroic Knight isn’t as good and problematic. 110
Jon Turner @jft28.bsky.social · 26/01/2026I was saying something seemed off about Mouser in this movie. 000
Jon Turner @jft28.bsky.social · 26/01/2026And people said no one asked for this. Well this proved otherwise. 000
Jon Turner @jft28.bsky.social · 22/01/2026You’re missing out. Personallly I think the game is pretty terrific on Switch 2. 100
Jon Turner @jft28.bsky.social · 16/01/2026His game was at the #2 position on eShop charts when I last checked. 020
Jon Turner @jft28.bsky.social · 16/01/2026@stealth40k.bsky.social I checked th eShop last night. FF7 Remake shot to #2. 000
