Dude, almost no-one here is going to understand that...

And yet it's hilarious, none-the-less.
I choose to think of it as 'Karma is a Cruel Bitch'.

I e-mailed him asking how his life is as a librarian. He didn't reply.

Are you mad or something? I asked you a question, what part of that would even remotely indicate thaat I'm mad? I just found it funny that most "Caucasian American fanboys" wanted the whole cast to be Asian, and now they are the ones bashing Chow Yun Fat because he doesn't pronounce thing...

Ok, honestly, the only one who pronounced things wrong was Chow Yun Fat, and he was the one everyone heralded as "The best casting in the movie!" He actually said KamiHamiha at one point. What does casting or acting have to do with how he pronounced Japanese shit? To put it simply most Dr...

Like how Japan made a new Godzilla movie after they saw how terrible the US version was.
That's not quite entirely true. Toei has a habit of retiring Godzilla then bringing him back when the time is right.

I am constantly reminded of how 'awesome' a certain film is from the US whenever we talk about movies in class.

My students are gah-gah over Resident Evil 3.

RESIDENT EVIL 3

So foreigners' tastes in movies can sometimes suck just as much as those back home.

Which is exactly why I attempted to avoid it in the review. Afterwards people asked questions and of course I'll delve into it when asked, but whether X or Y didn't happen, it doesn't matter so long as it's a respectable film. But this isn't. Just wait until you see how Bulma and Yamcha become an it...

That is funny because we both decided to stay away from certain things, you spoilers and as for myself most fan reviews thus I missed your statement. Yeah, what do 'fans' know about that which they are fans of anyway? I am glad that someone on here that has seen the movie has something positive to ...

Individuals on here have been stating that all the things that you mentioned, would not appear in the film for quite a while now, so why are you shocked when you actually saw it and they were not there? Hmm, I thought I mentioned in my review that I avoided avid discussion and/or scenes online outs...

Um dude, it's even in the trailer. "Seven mystics banded together to fight the invaders. They created the Dragon Balls." - Master Roshi In the script there's more detail: "before they died they created the Dragon Balls, so that their power, in the form of Shen Long the Dragon God, ma...

This tangently reminds me: some people were saying that the movie's explanation of the origin of the dragonballs was kind of similiar to a filler explanation given early on in the DB anime. In the filler, originally a single dragonball was created by the gods, but was split into seven when people g...

Meet the Spartans opened at #1 in the USA when it was released so I really can't trust film rankings anymore.

There was a scene ( similar to that ending scene from this film ) in the DBZ Anime that showed how Kami excised Daimao ( his evil side ) while sick, and writhing in bed. In the final scene of this film, could it be that Daimao is about to split into two, the same way he split from Kami in the Manga...

Not only that, but comparing it to the lifestream in Final Fantasy seems crazy to me (no offense!), because the lifestream is spiritual energy that flows through everything that lives. Ki is spiritual energy that flows through everything that lives. How is it being similar a bad thing when they're ...

SPOILERS SPOILERS The ki was far too smokey-looking for me. See what I mean? Lifestream. Might as well have given Piccolo a single angel wing. Also, regarding the 'I am Goku, I am Oozaru' thing. After that, would it not have been perfect to show the outline of Oozaru behind Goku as he's about to col...

Covering all the bases going for every possible audience to get 5 seconds of enjoyment for any type of person?

Surely not, that would be a terrible idea.
From that statement I can't tell if you really think 5 seconds of enjoyment is worth 17 dollars or not.

Anyhow, was it a pretty sight to see Chetku transform into an Oozaru? Hmm, it certainly didn't look bad. There are a LOT of scenes where you'll be overwhelmed by blue screen. Goku leaping across the mutant things on lava comes to mind. But I have nothing bad to say about the transformation. Wait sc...

@ omae no kaasan: I think he's called Sifu Norris or something in the movie.
Thank you for clearing that up, there you have it folks.

No Kaio in the film.

I wonder if someone will sub the Japanese dub before April rolls around. It would be interesting to watch the dub to see if they liberally changed the dialogue. Someone will no doubt do this soon. However, the subtitles on the version I saw were word for word translations. So even when they summone...
