NEWS: Interview with Astro Boy director

I couldn't disagree more. "A.I." was dark and brilliant. I think Kubrick would've liked it. FYI, Kubrick wanted Spielberg to direct it. And Spielberg admited that he would've done movie differently but he wanted to preserve Kubrick's original vision.

You've never seen 2001: A Space Odyssey or Clockwork Orange, haven't you?

That little "extra" ruined the movie. It would've been okay if it ended earlier, but Spielburg had to go "How Spielburgian" and push that little extra and ruin the movie, making very Un-Kubrick.

the live action version of tetsuan atomu (astro boy) is a travesty.

bozo such as ... lucas

i can count on a camel's toes how many japanese animes that have been made by the hollywood film machine that have contained anything other than special effects or big tits and ass.

[AKIRA] is going to be just some story about rival biker gangs taking on the government,

the possibility of a live action lupin the third in which they are talking tom cruise for the lead role. that says it all!!!

so the history of hollywood fu*king up japanese anime is all the crystal ball i need to see into the obvious future that the live action tetsuan atomu(astro boy) will suck.

fandom is not the disease, the hollwood movie making machine is.

that just melts minds and doesn't explore anything new or challenging

is pitof really directing akira??????? ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! that just goes to prove my point. jesus, that WILL suck in ways that i can't even imagine!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please use better grammar. Please don't post more than twice in a row (only post once and edit, preferrably). Please don't use more than one punctuation mark at the end of a sentence with the sole exception of "..."

Thank you. Now with that out of the way...

"Is" a travesty? Please go back to grammar school and re-learn verb tense. It hasn't been completed or released yet, so we're a ways away from the point where you can use the term "is" in criticising it. Also, it'd be nice if you could avoid jumping to conclusions like you somehow know the future. You don't. I don't. No one does, so no one can say for certain yet how good or bad this film is going to be.

first off, i was pretaining to the production of it, which is in the works. and yes, i can pretty much guess that it will suck.

At least we agree on one point here...

Could you please try to construct something coherent out of this? Hollywood doesn't make anime, and they've barely made any actual adaptations of anime yet (the only one I personally can recall is Fist of the North Star, which indeed was pretty awful). Also, I think the Japanese anime industry has turned out more sexual exploitation on its own than Hollywood could ever hope to strive for. You do remember Ninja Scroll, right?

second, i was referring to live action versions. true there hasn't been many. unfortuneatly there are many in the works.

My memory's a bit fuzzy right now, but I'm pretty sure that was actually a majour part of the AKIRA manga, too. I'n fact, I seem to recall that much of the big, pink, puffy blob stuff took a backseat to the political aspect until the latter portion of the story.

In short, I fail to see the problem, really.

if you fail to see the problem of pitof directing a live action version of akira, or anything else for that matter, you need better glasses.

Says what "all?" That they're scouting talent? You know, you have a nasty habit of jumping to conclusions about things before they actually happen. Just because they're talking to someone about the possibility of playing a role doesn't exactly mean that person's a lock. Complain once they've actually cast someone, not when they bounce the idea off an actor to see if they're interested.

hell, i can complain all i want. if you don't like it move to the next posting and ignore it. bottom line is tom cruise can't act his way out of a wet paper bag with holes. and there is nothing wrong with "scouring talent" as you put it as long as there is talent to scour, tom cruise has no talent for anything other than smiling and looking cool.

...what history? Could you please be specific here?

Actually, those are both seasonal allergies. Whining fanboys that jump to conclusions and complain about anything they can get their mitts on for the sake of sounding "underground" and "against the machine" are the disease.

actually a bigger disease is the idea of people that accept what is fed to them and don't see the possibilty of a problem, that is when things are allowed to go wrong.

Especially when their posts are barely-coherent grammatical nightmares.

my grammar is fine. if you can give me examples of mistakes, on this subject, i will eat my hat.

ho yar thaet shindlr liste suked am i rite?

actually, it kinda did. actually it was the only thing that spielberg has done in the last decade or so that can be considered half-way decent.

yeah it's become popular to attack spielberg because he sucks! a director that is nothing but a tool of hollywood and proliferates that classic hollywood bullsh*t formula that just melts minds and doesn't explore anything new or challenging does not deserve any respect from me.
