I think Angelina Jolie is ugly. She looks like like her lips have been stung by bees.

Why would Spike be Jewish?

I never heard this.

Spike looks Jewish because of that big Jew-fro. Of course... Jewish isn't really a race...

Also, I bet the creators would say he's 3/4th's Japanese or something. Sometimes the guys up top will make sure to state that cool, but non-Japanesey characters have a Japanese parent. Examples include Solid Snake and Ken from Street Fighter.

And yet they completely adore Lupin the Third, who's French, and Daisuke Jigen who (despite the name) is apparently American.

Japanese are wierd like that :P

Lupin's grandpa was French but that's it. I always assumed they were supposed to be Japanese, and I still do. Unless it's specifically stated that a character was born in a different country, they're Japanese. I don't care if they have blond hair and blue eyes. They're Japanese.


Title: Re: Oh Christ....
Post by: Brooklyn Luckfield on December 23, 2008, 06:25:20 PM
Spike isn't Jewish, the creators choose his name cause it sounded "cool", which is the case with a lot of what Japan does. As far as Jigen is goes, it is my understanding that he was a mobster in American (which city varies) and fled to Japan, hence the Japanese name.

Well Lupin still retains his French name... which is "Arsene Lupin the 3rd"... with his father being Aresene Lupin the 2nd, and his grandfather being the infamous French gentleman theif. I'm pretty sure he's pure French.

The hair was based on some Japanese actor that the creator liked. Watch...um...one of the special features...like the interview with the creator or a bunch of people in general...on the DVD for Cowboy Bebop the Movie...I can't remember what it was exactly, because I lost the movie about a year or two ago. I got it for christmas and watched it repeatedly that weekend...

EDIT:

I made this post and then took to the floor to sleep. But then it hit me that someone said that they heard Angelina Jolie was to play Faye, and I just couldn't go without commenting.

404 FORBIDDEN!

Seriously. Faye has not lips that large, nor that sound of voice, nor hips THAT big...persay... Angelina isn't pale enough to be Faye! Nor is her hair right, and I don't care what Hollywood can do, shoot whoever started that rumor and just let her stay as Lara Croft. Don't ruin Faye.

I wish I could make better suggestions, but right now I'm having trouble coming up with female actresses at all, aside from Catherine Zeta-Jones, Molly Ringwald...um...yeah..I was watching Chicago, the Breakfast Club, and Sixteen Candles recently. Who played Trixie in Speed Racer? Make her bitchy-like and maybe she could pull off a form of Faye.

Okay, enough rambling for now. I'm going to bed. I just couldn't leave that alone.

Got a little info here from a friend on Gaia. It says that Keanu is to play Spike. I thought about it, and it didn't seem like too bad a cast there. I've been trying to come up with who can play Spike, and was drawing a blank.

No... it gets worse.

Next year is slated for: "The Green Hornet", "The A-Team", "Robin Hood", "Sherlock Holmes", "Shrek: Forever After", "Alice in Wonderland", and yet another Toy Story.

The only thing I look forward to is "The Last Airbender" (as in AVATAR: The Last Airbender), and that's because they changed the cast before shooting began to make it less WHITE. Why the frak is there an A-Team movie? A Green Hornet movie (which will suck as bad as The Shadow movie)... another Robin Hood? Alice in Wonderland starring JOHNNY DEPP?! Are you @#%&ing kidding me? No, I refuse to have Depp ruin another childhood classic.

Wowza. Yeah, that's pretty bad. I fail to see the need or demand for an A-Team movie.

We lost the need for the A-team years ago.

Anyway, at least it's not some White chick playing Saiya. There would be hell if there were. I...might go see it...on DVD...

I saw the trailer for The Last Airbender at Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and I went "What. The. Fuck."

I liked the manga. It went into more depth.

At any rate, I heard the rumor about a year or so ago that Leo would be playing in an Akira movie.

Problem with Hollywood making live action anime: Too many white people, especially where white people don't go.

Post by: The Final Negotiator on July 08, 2009, 02:20:39 AM
I should probably weigh in on these:

  • Cowboy Bebop - Maybe? It could be fun... Hmmm, need a slim but beautiful Faye. Kirsten Dunst or Tea Leoni? Rather than Angelina, perhaps consider someone in the same vein, such as Megan Fox?
  • Blood - Didn't look too bad. Saya was Japanese, and all the actors seemed to fit the characters (although this may be one of those trailers with all the good scenes... ;D).
  • DB live-action - trailer looked OK, even though I know it's barely faithful to the anime.
  • Akira - Y'know I really should lookup the manga, because the anime was confusing as hell, even after combing Wikipedia and the 'net for more information on the story. I'm not sure if I want to further confuse myself with a more-condensed live-action movie version. ???
  • Avatar by M. Night Shamalan - only if M. Night is on his game with this...
  • "The Green Hornet" - ?
  • "The A-Team" - It will be one of those action series turned parody/action movie. Meh, I'll pass until
    it hit's $1 theater/DVD.
  • "Robin Hood" - Despite Kevin Costner's total disregard of British pronounciation, I liked that version of the story. Is this going to be a "more serious" retelling? That could go either way with me...
  • "Sherlock Holmes" - With Indiana Jones/Mummy movies getting long in the tooth, this may be something to take it's place. Will keep an eye on this...
  • "Shrek: Forever After" - This will be a tough sell with me, as 3 barely, barely passed with me...
  • "Alice in Wonderland"- Johnny, why must you make nightmare fuel of my childhood stories?!?  :( I don't know, I still haven't checked out his version of Willy Wonka...
  • ...and yet another Toy Story - Another movie about toys, and as I type this, I have 7 Autobots and 1 Decepticon figures sitting close to me. Yeah, it's getting long in the tooth, but I'm still intrigued...
  • And I already broke the story about the live-action Battle Angel Alita - via James Cameron - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0437086/ - this however looks "win". 8)

You have no idea how wrong you are. DragonBall: Evolution sucked... horribly. I'm actually sorry that I saw it at all (on the internet, it was a waste of bandwidth).

Not only was the plot horrendous compared to actual canon, but as a movie alone it sucked. Stay away from it.

Not only is the movie totally different, it's got Maggie "Tits or GTFO" Q in it. Friggin' vampires, ugh.

Their making another Sherk film? My god let the green orge die already.

And looking at the movie on the first page, I thought they had finished Cowboy Bebop, twice. Is this movie going to be about Ed and Ein or something?
And I thought they had canceled the Devil May Cry movie. Oh well, here comes the screaming fan girls who like a girlishly looking, but still masculine, hero. Reminds me of Twitard.

Maybe they'll just drop the entire character of Ed.

Maybe if I pray hard enough.

I kinda liked Ed. she was fun loving and added comedy relief. However if she where to be a serious character she would fail.

The one episode where it's just 20 minutes of nothing but that character (the mushrooms one) is by a wide margin, the worst part of that entire series

I mean I..never found any of it funny, but I guess I could see people liking it (In my experience anime fans generally do not have the same sense of humor I do, in fact frankly I find it generally..sort of terrible.), but dragging it out for 20 minutes does not work.

I thought that episode was about illegal mushrooms and Ed just happened to find them. Oh well I haven't watched the series in over 8 years, so my memory is bound to be foggy.

Ed was usually really annoying, but I thought the episode where everyone was tripping balls on mushrooms was hilarious.

Mostly because everyone was tripping balls on mushrooms. But I also haven't seen any Bebop in like 30 years.

The two images with "Vice" reveal the level of spit and polish to expect from this movie: that of a high-grade porno flick.

That post claims to have pictures of Mai (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/9b/Mai-mi2.png), but I don't see any. Was she way in the background, or maybe just off to the side?

I sense this King of Fighters movie will be about as successful as the DoA live action movie.

I liked the DoA movie... then again, DoA is a series known for being campy and having less story than a Bazooka Joe comic.

I remember hearing about this awhile ago. As I recall, it didn't seem to be much more than some guy trying to pitch the idea to studios.


Title: Re: Oh Christ....
Post by: Yuko-san on May 15, 2010, 07:48:49 PM
Ok, so I never saw hellsing, but isn't there a live action movie already? Or is that Van Hellsing?
Also, if hollywood wants to live action anything won't Hare Hare Yuki be better? If the theory of Haruchi being a God is true then wouldn't all her cult following go to see it? Or Big O could be live actioned (avoids Iran reporters shoe throw attack)...... Or maybe not.
Actually Big O wouldn't be a hard series to Live action. The characters are already American in looks and fix up hugh lorie and he might make a badass Norman. (avoids another shoe attack). If they can live action Gundam, which needs space battles, Big O would be much easier. Just take videos of down town new york with people running and shop a 3d model of Big O walking into the scene.

Post by: Brooklyn Luckfield on May 18, 2010, 04:16:35 AM
A live action Gundam could easily work, but it has to be done right. G Savior was a cheap Canadian/US/Japan co-production that Sunrise seemingly thought was gonna be a success. Interestingly enough, the Japanese are equally guilty as they are the ones that give the go ahead to do these remakes. Honestly, they should have a little more input and control over the process.

You should play the Crow, Char. Just hitchhike your way over to California, show up at the studio and be all like, "I'm here." That's the best way to ensure the movie doesn't suck.

Lol. Thanks R. Dan. Maybe I should. I do it all the time at cons. I even steal people's cigarettes and go "you know, these things'll kill you."

My nametag at work says Crow, as does my Laser Tag name when I go to Laser Rock...yeah, as the Crow I'm locally famous...ish...

"Sorcerer" actually. The Percy Jackson one wasn't nearly as bad as I expected, so it'll probably be watchable.

After trolling every credible resource and being in the most hardcore of hardcore chat rooms. I have info on the newest batman movie. The only thing I've been able to get is that Harley Quinn will be in it.

EDIT:
Oh yeah, I almost forgot they've got plans now for a Lost Planet movie.
