Isn't Anonymous a little late to the party? Outrage over Kim's nude photos lasted about 48 hours and Kanye's griping about awards has been going on for years. Anonymous needs something a bit more relevant to focus on.
Beside the fact that we already discussed in this thread that some dude sitting in his parents' basement with a V for Vendetta mask may not always be the same thing as a true collective of the ANONYMOUS activists taking on a legitimate cause, I love how you bump now dormant threads to say "aren't they a little late?"
BTW, do you have a source for your report that Ken Watanabe doesn't speak English and had to learn his role in The King & I phonetically?

^ Sorry, I didn't realize that responding to a thread started two days ago qualitied as "bumping" it. And I have several pals working on K&I who have all, independently, mentioned that Ken had to learn the dialogue and lyrics phonetically because he doesn't speak English.
Uh huh. Except for the fact that he's spoken English on film before and has given dozens of interviews in English. Was he phonetically sounding out his responses to English language interviews?? Speaking heavily accented English as your second language is not the same thing as not speaking English, for goodness sake.

Well, as you seem to have the inside track, we can only assume that all the folks at K&I are making this story up for some unknown reason.
What I imagine your friends are talking about is him learning to pronounce certain words in way that makes them more easily understood by the audience. Your suggestion that he doesn't speak a word of English is just ridiculous.

I didn't say he didn't "speak a word" of English. I can rattle off the 50 niceties in a number of languages but wouldn't be equipped to, say, star in a Japanese language production. But enough of highjacking this thread.
