Go there and be jealous of me.

 

[RastaPope]

Didja here they've recently greenlit a live action version of Akira? Americanized, too.


Just ain't right, mon.

 

[MechaBlade]

Oh! They better not fuck up Akira! (except the end, which didn't make sense to me anyway)

Oh please god don't let them dumb down or change Akira.... please... please....

 

[heterotic]

Awright, I'm hereby jealous.

I don't see any other outcome. Have you seen the people who live in this country? Bout as dumb as the come..

 

[MechaBlade]

Hey. I live in this country. (and I've seen translations not fucked up before)

 

[Cibo]

Awright, I'm hereby jealous.

I'm hopefully going all 3 days. Forget about my car troubles, my money is going to this place. Luckily for me, its only a 30 min drive there. So no need to rent a hotel.

Alright then, name 5 remakes/translations of foreign OR domestic films/cartoons/books that do justice to the original source material.

So you live here, you know what I'm talking about. The collective level of IQ in Hollywood these days is about the gross national product of Afghanistan...so what...35?

 

[RastaPope]

shit, i keep getting logged out..

 

[MechaBlade]

Okay, yes. I can't name five but I can come close. Maybe if we just believe and close our eyes really hard then Akira will be good.

Please... please....

How the hell did an Anime Convention thread of jealosy get turned into an Akira thread?

You shouldn't mess with genius. Better they just leave it be, or run it in theatres again like they did 2 years ago.

Its going to blow monkey dick.

Did anyone see the live action of "Fist of the North Star"? If not, dont. If you seen the anime then you probably loved the cartoon. But the live action sucked. Just like the live action of "the Geyver". For christ sakes Jimmy"JJ" Walker played a bad guy in it.

Saw them both. There's a live action DBZ movie on the way as well, but I don't watch it, so I don't care.

DYNOMITE! When AmishPope is around, he'll tell you about his run in with this cat...

Please tell me you're kidding about Batman 1. It was amazing when I was 10, but they destroyed the source.
