Re: Justin Chatwin apologizes for Dragonball Evolution

As for Pacific Rim, Guillermo del Toro was fucking awesome. He even confirmed to me face to face that he is a fan of Doraemon. Even debated how Nobita is a useless character. Doesn't even remotely surprise me to hear that: Del Toro has by all accounts always been an incredibly down to earth, genuin...

Re: Justin Chatwin apologizes for Dragonball Evolution

It's not everyday you get to see apology coming from writer and actor. I dunno: reportedly for many, many years after the movie came out, anytime a fan told George Clooney that they saw Batman & Robin in theaters, he would actually refund them their ticket money out of his own pocket. :lol: Hon...

Re: Justin Chatwin apologizes for Dragonball Evolution

I've worked on Total Recall as a background actor before so I've had first hand experience in how Hollyweird works. Their excuses in the whitewashing and misrepresenting Asian culture has always been "no one will notice". I go into set and I see what is obviously misused Google translation...

Re: Justin Chatwin apologizes for Dragonball Evolution

I also liked how Stephen Chow, producer of Dragon Ball Evolution, didn't even mention Dragon Ball Evolution and simply reposted the Japanese promotional movie poster for his movie "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" which is actually designed and sketched by Toriyama himself. You ...

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

Yeah, I just found out thru TVB News. This is so sudden. Kind of in a loss for words right now. If it had not been for him, I'd still be illiterate. Dragon Ball had been so influential for me to the point that I learned how to read Chinese in a country that doesn't teach Chinese literacy that effect...

Re: "Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement & Pre-Release Discussion Thread

Anybody planning to buy the digital copy the minute it comes out in Asia? Mind you, there is usually a 12-13 hour head start in Asia because of time zone difference. Pretty sure it won't be any English in the Hong Kong and Taiwan release since that is what Bandai has been doing for their games latel...

Re: The end of era: Sony discontinues the Funimation brand on April 2

They shoulda kept the Funimation streaming service and do a simple renaming to Crunchyroll because as it stands now, Crunchyroll can't even provide proper Dolby 5.1 audio out of their movie offerings. And that is why I won't be subscribing to Crunchyroll. I can access most of their weekly anime on N...

Re: Dragon Ball Dance and Light Show in China

This is surprisingly better than I expected. The cover of makafushigi Adventure is a 8/10 for me They did cut out one part of the song so that's why it's a 8 CAST; The casting was pretty good actually like for kid goku and kid chi-chi and all the other actors to 10/10 STORY; The story confuses me b...
