Hey Matt W may I direct you to the first page of this thread

[Duzzy Funlop]

this doesn't exactly have much that the first trailer didn't, but seeing as WALL-E is probably the one movie i'm most excited for, i have to post it.

[Miagi]

I'm looking forward to the JLA movie. Its either going to be really, really good or really, really awful.

The Dragon Ball movie apparently starts production next month, and according to the casting breakdown, what the fuck.

James, how do you feel about Goku being 18 years old and Gohan being his 70-year-old grandfather?

[James]

you mean like grandpa gohan

[Alan]

where do you think goku got the name from hanstock jeez

[Hanstock]

A FUCKING BABY SAIYAN NAMING BOOK LIKE EVERYONE ELSE

[James]

no all the (most of the) human characters are named after oriental-type foods (see also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum_cha, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gohan, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pu-erh_tea, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oolong)

whereas the saiyans are specifically named after vegetables

[Alan]

also: underwear and boobs

[James]

oh, right, i forgot that whole bloomers - trunks - bra line and "chi chi" which is like, why would you name your child like that if you spoke the language in which that was dirty

i'm namin' my daughter boyoyoing

[Hanstock]

those are just the women, they don't count

and trunks who really doesn't count

[Lindy]

his brother is also named nails

[James]

whose brother

[Mike]

Big Boss Man's.

[James]

the superhero version of that guy from metal gear?

with all the comparative speed and strength of an 80-year-old man with one eye and a killer disposition

anyways as far as the DBZ movie goes, all the stuff they're casting for is actually some kind of mishmashed Original Non-Z Dragon Ball script

[Bismark]

so the fans will hate it and the unfamiliar will have no reason to learn anything more about it

at least the artwork won't still be terrible

[James]

dragon ball z is pretty funny in that people keep taking it seriously when in reality it's just akira toriyama clowning around

he was going to stop at the logical conclusion of the series (goku becoming a super saiyan and beating the guy that even the ruler of the afterlife is afraid of) but the fans were like WE ARE GOING TO KILL YOU UNLESS YOU DRAW MORE PEOPLE WITH SPIKY HAIR and he was like "jesus christ, okay" and that is why there are 4 different levels of super saiyan

anyways if you take it seriously and think that akira toriyama was trying to be SUPER HARDCORE then you might dislike the art but if you think of it just as "that's just kinda how he draws, whatever, he's not being really that serious" then maybe it wouldn't be that bad*

*you'd have to ignore dragon warrior i guess

Keeping on the Anime theme here:





Fucking what? Why?

[B]

Because Astro Boy is awesome and super important to the history of animation, and because of this little chain of inspiration command for current animators:


Walt Disney
Without Walt Disney there would be no Osamu Tezuka
Without Osamu Tezuka there would be no Hayao Miyazaki
Without Hayao Miyazaki there would be no John Lasseter
Without John Lasseter there would be no Pixar
Without Pixar there would be no current, successful Walt Disney corporation
