You know what I was thinking about, how everyone is saying the Justin Chatwin is an "emo" and he only plays "emo angst ridden teens" and what forth.

Well, I have seen two movies with him in them. War of the Worlds, and The Invisible, and he isn't emo in either.

In War of the Worlds he is brash and confident, he actually wants to join the military to fight the aliens and he isn't afraid to run right into danger also he is the main protector of his sister.

In the Invisible he is a smart student who is confident and isn't afraid to get into confrontations.

Well, those are my thoughts.

Also this movie in no way looks as bad as the Street Fighter movie, either the 90's one or the new one coming out.

For the record, no-one has used the word "emo" correctly a single time in this thread.

Just sayin'.

Hmm, really? I am pretty sure people are saying that Justin Chatwin is a "Overly Emotional, depressing person, who is angst ridden and has thoughts of suicide"
Hence, Emo.

At least that's what I thought.

People can compare this to movies like Super Mario Bros. all they want, but at least Shenlong is a dragon, and not Dennis Hopper.

Dennis Hopper as Shenron?

Well, as long as the movie is going to be really bad anyway...

I'm pretty sure he was referring to the fact that Bowser, or "King Koopa", wasn't a koopa at all, he was just Dennis Hopper with gelled hair.

He was a Koopa! They just altered the appearance a bit, and he turned into a dinosaur monster at the end anyway! GAWD! There was Mario and Luigi in their trademark outfits, out to save the Princess with the help of Yoshi and 'Shrooms, that's Mario, man.
What do you fanboys want, a frame by frame retelling of the game?! Why don't you just go PLAY the game! What part of adaption don't you understand?! There's a new context and it's a different direction and a fresh interpretation and...

*Checks his list of lame defenses*

And if Super Mario Bros failed it's only because you obsessive fanboys made it fail because it's actually a good movie! :x

[/endsarcasm]

I think it'd be more appropriate to compare movie Shenlong to movie Yoshi.

A Dennis Hopper Shen Long would probably end up being just him with red eyes and greased hair. :P

Oi! Did you get that PM?!

Pretty much. On the contrary, what we've seen DBE Piccolo's physiology is pretty much identical to his manga counterpart, save for his antennae being somewhat ingrained against his skull instead of sticking out.

You know...a Dennis Hopper Shenlong wouldn't be so bad.

It'd be pretty funny to see him summoned by Chatku and the first words out of his mouth would be "Monkey!" :lol:

CGI should be Freeza.

With... the villain from Batman Begins as the voice.

Bill Nighy as Cell. He would have made a good King Piccolo.

And Danny Devito as Krillin :lol: :lol:

Yeah. Everyone knows that EMO is a man advantage that results from a timeserving penalty by the other team.

I got this off JAPPO's site. I don't know if anyone has seen this, but if this confirms anything about the movie, it's definitely a good thing.

Sorry I linked to your site JAPPO, I hope it's not a problem.
