Great Saiyaman I wrote:But the question is, why does it make you sad? What in that one sentence post makes you unhappy? The raw emotion of colliding opinions, of the two extremes battling it out. Do you feel pain? Aggression? Fear of not being accepted? Tis' the life of one who doesn't share the opinion of the majority. The noble man has pity upon you, encouraging and prodding you along. The others scorn you, wittling at everything you say til there's no foundation left. The ruins of a man, of a human being, of potential. But what comes next?
Rage. Pure, unadulterated anger. No longer do you care about what others think. Among most your reputation is already low. All because of a few comments. Because you tried to establish yourself. You let it all out now, attempting to let everyone know of your hate. No thread is spared in your siege, and once they're all derailed you make new ones of little sense.
Finally, it all ends. You can no longer continue, as that's been taken away from you. Surprisingly, such a huge action can be summed up in one word: Banned.
Post of the year right here.
On another note, of those of you who have seen the movie...is it any good?

Quite. The first half suffers a bit from being a much-too-quick-paced adaption of the pre-Pilaf parts of the Pilaf arc, but the latter half is great stuff. Feels very different from all the other Dragonball material out there, too.

Yea, I just recently watched the movie while I was rendering it in 1080p/24fps and the latter half feels like 1 kick ass episode!

Hot diggity, if that's true it's good news. I don't really mind or care if any of the other movies get redubs or not (
though it'd certainly be nice for 2 and 3), so long as they're better on the video side than the old releases.

Yeah, the movie's great. I watched it on the Dragon Box not long ago.
And yum, nice boxset. But I already own the 3-pack....
What are they going to do? EVERY MOVIE HAS A DIFFERENT CAST.
PM if you have anything to sell!

So glad I held out on a Dragon Ball release for once!

I haven't seen any of the original Dragon Ball movies. I'll definitely get the 4-pack when it is released. It would be nice if they redub the 2nd and 3rd movie as well.

Actually this could answer why this movie was pushed back so much, to dub the other movies with the Kai cast. I'm actually gonna pick this up even though I own Dragon box the Movies. 4th movie and now the 1st have the best dubs imo, of course I'm hoping all have all been redubbed.

Oh damn, I sure hope they took care of the crap the anniversary dub was filled with. I'm all giddy now! Fuuuuuuck yeah!

You lucky prick!
If the four pack turns out to be legit and it really is remastered (a new dub would be nice aswell), I might have to double dip.

I was out for School, so I just NOW saw the "Dragon Ball Movie Four Pack" news.
I dunno what to think. The "Remastered" thing makes me think of Funimation's remastering for the Z Movies. But I already own the 3 movies in the box set Funi released a while back. If I do plan on buying it, it'll be *after* somebody picks it apart. I don't wanna use my cash on something I might not even want.
Next quest: Buy the Super: Broly and Super Hero Blurays, also Daima whenever that releases in the states. Also the Super Manga!

Even though the japanese version was already decent on the original releases, this new set sounds interesting. Hopefully it'll have an improved dub as well as a progressive encode like the episodes.

Unless the boxset has a re-dub for movies 2, 3 and 17, I won't get it, simple as that.
I'm not interested in Funimation's own remastering, unless it's a Dragon Box.

Well, sometimes people say mean things. That's life for you!

I'm pretty happy about this. Particularly because I've never seen ANY of the DB movies outside of movie 4. The fact that its getting the (infinitely superior) Kai treatment is a plus for me.

Agreed.
It'd be awesome if they redubbed all of the movies, but it'd suck for me considering I already have the 3-pack...

Well great. Now since I know nothing about this new 4 pack, I'm going to hold out on getting the new single of movie 1. I'd like to know how the remastering is and if they are redubbing any of the other movies. Which makes you wonder, is the single of movie 1 remastered?

Cool, hope that the other 3 movies will be redubed too.

It would not be very hard to have a better transfer and encode then the old DVD release of movies 2-4.
