The screens for this movie look just as bad as the chinese live action movie that came out in 1989.

I think Toriyama said that once in one television show.
And the age-logos on DB DVDs or VHSs are something that is written just becuase of law...

If you say "I am now 30, I think I shouldn't watch DB anymore" than you limited yourslef, and no one else...
That is the way how I think of it...

As for me, I'll PROUDLY watch DB/Z/GT while I'm alive.

Any doubts I had concerning your sanity are of no consequence in light of this piece of wisdom. Rock on!

These aren't "screens." These are crap-quality photos likely taken with a cell phone camera, not full-quality film screens after post-production.

Oh the technicalities. These photos look as bad as the chinese live action movie that came out in 1989.

Well it's a good thing that they're not taken at the right angle to coincide with the professional lighting design, that it's not taken with the high definition movie camera, that it's being shot during what could have been one of a dozen takes each, that it's from a Mexican news source...

I keep telling you people. Wait a few more months before you start getting really upset. There's a lot that goes into every shot that some random paparazzi clip won't capture.

I understand that Neko, but I was mainly referring to the cheesy outfits. Camera angles aren't going to fix those.

My point still exists for all the people who are gonna complain about the quality of the shots, but as far as yours is concerned... Yeah. They do look a little silly. I'm just hoping that the tone of the movie and the lighting will really help with each shot. I mean, Stephen Chou is producing. He's the master of making goofy, badass.

Man,those screens look decent at best. Please let something good come out of this insult to the name of Dragonball.

I this ends up being even more hilariously bad than the Chinese movie, I'll be impressed. ...just not in a good way.

And, please, does anyone know who is that young boy near chatwin? Is that Wong's son? And please don't tell me he'll cast Chaotzu...? I wouldn't be surprised, seriously...

I note that they say in the article that someone called Tim Van Rellim is the producer, not Stephen Chow. Is this guy mentioned elsewhere in the news information about this at all? What happened to Chow? o_O;

EDIT: Oh, okay. It says on IMDB that Tim Van Rellim is the EXECUTIVE producer for the movie. Stephen Chow is still listed as the producer. So he's still in on the project. 8D;

Also, DTX: I must say I'm impressed. Your last few posts sound much more reasonable compared to before. It was much nicer to read them. Thank you.

Movies and TV shows often have multiple producers. The movie blog site lists this guy as an executive producer, specifically.

Well, the translated page didn't mention anything about him being the executive producer (whether it originally did in Spanish, I don't know), at least not that I read... so yeah, I ended up getting confused anyway. ._.;

How did you form such an educated opinion? I am really glad you did and I hope this wisdom can go into your other posts. Good job DTX...that impressed me.

Looks like Goku has his training Gi...that's cool.
