Fun fact: Akira Kamiya, the legendary voice actor who provided the voices of many characters in anime, has also dubbed over many foreign titles. His credits include such films as Aladdin (Iago), Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies (Pierce Brosnan's Bond), Logan's Run (Michael York's Logan), Face/Off (Travolta), Tequila Sunrise (Mel Gibson's Mac), and one source lists him as even dubbing over Bo-Duke from the Dukes of Hazzard.

He's also apparently too expensive to hire for many projects, and he's had to stop doing roles he's made (such as Kenshiro) because he can't handle screaming his lines in his old age, something he was so known for, his nickname was Screaming Kamiya.

When Tsuburaya Productions cast Kohji Moritsugu as captain of MAC for Ultraman Leo, his character was meant to be a new character named Tetsutaro Kawakami. However, Kohji Moritsugu was concerned viewers would confuse Kawakami with Dan, Ultraseven’s human form, so the character was changed to Dan.

H.P. Lovecraft hated seafood so much he refused to even look at it let alone eat it. Some believe this repulsion was borne out a near fatal allergic reaction in his childhood, but another more likey reason is this sites personal favorite punching bag A.U.T.I.S.M. as one sign of Autism is a repulsion or easily disgusted by certain sights, smells, or foods.

The guy was a freakish oddball, but his father was a syphilitic vegetable and his mother was mad as fuck, so who knows where all his weird notions came from. Reading his bio does make me doubt he was in anyway 'neuro-typical' though.

Yeah but he still seemed normal when compared to the autists of today, back when autists had to learn to either act right or get sent to a padded cell in a straight jacket and get chemically castrated and/or lobotomized.

While on the topic of movies and Oscars, Silence of the Lambs beat Bugsy, JFK, The Prince of Tides, and the animated Beauty and the Beast for Best Picture at the 64th Oscars. It was also the third film - and so far one of just three - in history to win the Big Five Academy Awards, which are Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay.

I forget the name of the critic or whatever that shat a brick when this won because "it's just a crappy horror film uwu reeee."

Silence of the Lambs is also the funniest comedy movie ever made.

What’s surprising is that initially Silence of the Lambs was not the front runner before sweeping up the other awards during the 1991 awards season. Many believed that the fact it was a horror movie released in February and was already released on video in the summer (something Oscar bait movies don’t have) and Orion Pictures went bankrupt (despite the back-to-back critical and commercial success of Dances With Wolves and Silence of the Lambs), leaving a lackluster awards campaign. But in retrospect, Silence of the Lambs rightfully won those five Oscars.

The only one that might have been near it was JFK, and also in retrospect, JFK was utter shit.

Beauty and the Beast is honestly the only one out of the nominees besides Silence of the Lambs that has had any cultural impact.

JFK was great despite the propaganda it had, Bugsy was kinda boring, and The Princes of Tides kinda sucked and Thelma and Louise should have been nominated instead.
