My hopes for Yamcha have been let down a little more. :(
From an interview:
I entered the audition wearing a hat and shorts, and as soon as the director looked at me, he said “You are Yamcha.” I still can’t believe it. I won’t appear the first 25% of the movie, but I will later on.
I am sure this story is an exaggeration. Plus if I recall correctly this story is from his second audition or call back.

Speaking of Yamcha, he finally made it onto a poster.
They really do need to get rid of that poster and use the 'Master your destiny' one a lot more.

They really do. That one and the one where Chatwin is in the orange gi. Hell even the one where he is in the blue gi. Those at least kinda sorta look like the show/manga.
I completely respect your opinion, and I respect you. I enjoyed discussing this with you, even if I don't completely agree.

If we're all here for a reason then I'm just visiting.

If it's held in your heart then you can't let go.

I'm gonna come right out and say it...had I not known any better, I would have said that Ayumi PV would have looked like some sort of Jpop sex-tape.


...with the tight, revealing black suits and whatnot...

...

I'm no perv, I swear it! :shock:

Though I'm not gonna lie, Ayumi Hamasaki is a very attractive lady...with all due respect, of course! =D


EDIT: Also, Here are some lyrics. Maybe the PV will make a little sense with these...


JAPANESE
誰かに決められたルール
そんなもん必要ない

だってこの僕らがルール

そこんとこ譲れない※



こんな時代の一体どこに

希望なんてあるのかって?



目に見えないものを触れられないものを

信じていられるのかって?



僕は黙ってただ頷いて

静かに目を閉じる



だって僕らはそう確かにね

繋がってるんだって事を

今はっきりと感じられるから



こんな世界もまだまだ捨てた

もんじゃないとこ残ってる



どんなに怖くっても誰かを信じてみる

だけの価値はじゅうぶんにある



僕は大きく深呼吸して

高らかに叫ぶよ



だって全ては偶然じゃなく

必然なんだって事を

あの日の君に教えられたから



△お決まりのつまんないルール

押しつけられたくない

まずは君と僕でルール

ぶっ壊して始めよう

強さが優しさへと

優しさが強さへと

変わってった瞬間から

もう怖いものはない

そんな気がしてるんだ

ENGLISH
I don't need the Rules
Decided by someone else
Because we are the Rules
I can't concede about it

"Where on earth is hope in the age like this?"
"Can we believe in what we can't see nor touch?"
I just nod silently and close my eyes calmly

Because I can feel clearly now that we are certainly connected

I don't need the Rules
Decided by someone else
Because we are the Rules
I can't concede about it

"This world isn't yet so bad, though cloudy everywhere"
"However foggy, I have enough confidence in trying to trust someone"
I take a deep breath and shout proudly

Because I was taught by you on that day that everything happens necessarily, not casually

I don't want to be imposed
The same old stupid Rules
Let's start first, you and me
By destroying the Rules

Since the moment my strength turned into tenderness
And my tenderness turned into strength
I have nothing to fear any more
I'm feeling so

I don't need the Rules
Decided by someone else
Because we are the Rules
I can't concede about it

I don't want to be imposed
The same old stupid Rules
Let's start first, you and me
By destroying the Rules

So...think there's still any chance of us getting any kind of new Makafushigi Adventure?

There was a rumor from a short while back that a marching band is playing an instrumental of it at the movie's Budokai. Just a rumor, but it hasn't been disproved yet.

Anyone know how much longer the wait before the MPAA rating is announced? I'm dying to know if its PG or PG-13.

If nothing from the bible is edited it'll probably be PG-13.

Although it would be easy for it to be edited and get a PG rating. Then release an "uncut" DVD with literally only a couple minor differences.

It doesn't matter though, quality over MPAA ratings :P

I think its just the lighting actually. The way it hits him diminishes some of the muscle mass. Also takes away from the
wrinkles and edges present in his face in other shots. :(

But bleh of the use of yellow lighting on green skin; all it does is make him look more pasty and doughy. I don't like it.
>_O

I'd suggest using cool hues for lighting him instead of warm ones; only reason I can think of for them using that particular backdrop is its the same one they've used for Chatku and Bulma.

... I am curious as to how much you know, JAPPO.

Anyway, as far as that Piccolo picture goes, it doesn't make him look nearly as threatening as he has been looking. They should use a light one for Chatku and heroes and a darker one for Piccolo's group. Just my opinion, though.

Still hate the armor. It looks so constricting.

I don't mind it. I like the armor arm swirls for Piccolo's arm vein things. =p

But sometimes they just know a guy will fit the part by looking at him. Like Mel Gibson in Mad Max, he wasn't even auditioning for the part, but they like him.

No clue. But the move comes out in April so we'll likely know the rating by the middle of next month at the latest. Probably before the end of this month.

I also suspect we will see a full and final trailer by the end of this month. The trailers we have seen so far all fall under the "teaser" category.

No, the 2 minute trailers were theatrical... which is why they are in theaters.

We will probably be seeing the final trailer with "Street Fighter." I wouldn't expect it to be longer than 2 minutes.
