I went to see Japanese Spiderman with W—– at the Alamo Downtown tonight. We stopped by Noodle-ism for dinner. I had the Won-ton soup bowl and it was pretty tasty if extremely large (why are meals so huge nowadays?).

The movie was not actually a movie but four episodes of a TV series. Alamo replaced the audio with their own music, sound effects, and voicing using Foley artists. It made for a great effect. Although some times the music was too loud to hear the sound effects. And I don’t think that they bothered to translate the footage either. They just watched it beforehand and created a script with their own wacky dialog. For example, every time we saw the child and he spoke, he said something about wanting sugar. There were Ninjas, of course. Who had beak-like masks. So, every time we saw them, we heard ducks quacking. And the splicing was kinda of weird. But that just enhanced the quirkiness of the movie.

Alamo Drafthouse is a great movie house. They show cool movies, you can eat and drink while you watch movies, and they have a lot of themed showings like a specialty menu and a movie, sing-a-longs, or stuff like this.
