It looks like it could either be a bullet hole or a cigarette burn.

I'd say it's the latter of the two because it isn't likely that a bullet hole would leave the entrance point all singed and burned like that.

I haven't seen it in this thread (I saw someone post it in Questions) so I hope they don't mind me posting the link to the "junior novel" on BnN.

Yeah...

Well at least we'll know by February exactly what happens; we won't have to wait til April.

It makes me angry that they didn't give Toryama or Shueisha any credit on that page or on the cover.

Along with the cheaply made, movie based video game that's bound to come out with it.

The things that bug me the most about the cover of this novelization is the ridiculous fount that they used for the title (it looks like a kindergartener scribbled it with a yellow crayon), at least the words "The Movie" got a decent fount.

The other thing is the fact that not only did they use an old and overused image for the cover, it is one that makes Goku look like a brainless, airhead that is staring off into space...but then again most of the pictures that have been released so far do that as well.

Ok before we press the bleepers on our scouters to track these "monsters'' down I must ask....Is that seriously the final cover ? I'm just saying you know if you're gonna try and sell something with Dragon Ball wouldn't it be wise to actually use a cover with Goku in an orange gi ? If I saw this in the store I'd be like "Huh? This is Dragon Ball?" I mean I would still read it out of vague interest but still...You know what I really have a better understanding of why some people hate this movie or are ultimately unimpressed by some things we've seen so far. This is just unacceptable...(If that's the final cover for the book that is)

Teaser trailer

Post by **Herms** » Thu Aug 14, 2008 10:25 am

Too bad that didn't have any actual footage, but of course it is a teaser trailer. What movie is that supposed to play with?

At least we know that design for Piccolo's demon mooks is real, if we didn't already.

That CGI stuff at the end looked kind of bad. Was that supposed to be Shenlong's tail coming out of the dragonballs or something?

edit: Gah, fanmade. Well, that explains the crappy CGI.

It says fan made in the description box. Gah, I had my hopes up.

I wasn't very impressed with the so called "trailer".

Wow, really, for some reason I wouldn't have guess the budget being that high. The CGi in that movie ranged from awesome (sandman creation scene, most of the sand man effects) to down right terrible (The alleyway background during the Peter/Harry fight, The lettering in the web, and the giant American flag scene). But it seems that movie had a similar problem with everything, half good+ half bad = average movie. And why was Mary Jane such a self centered bitch in that. I mean Peter was trying to comfort her and shes like "fuck you". Also, Peter's dark side would have been more effectively shown if he was shown beating the shit out of criminals to the point of near death, and laughing about it, as opposed to acting like a pimp (if that is the correct terminology). Also, I don't believe Eddy Brock was portrayed effectively enough. I don't even care that it was Topher Grace, I just don't think he was written very well, and his motivation just wasn't there. Venom is, for all tense and purposes, an Anti-Hero, he fights villains and Criminals, he just hates spiderman, they made it seem like he was just a straight up asshole. Also some little minor things would have helped, either have Topher buff up, or get a bigger actor, and they could have atleast thrown in the "We are Venom" thing where he refers to himself as we.

Ugh, yeah, Dragonball Movie, yep. Well, I don't really have much to ad. I just hope that they pronounce KameHameHa correct. And we don't have to deal with Kamayamaya.

Well normally it'd end up covered with blood. But if bullets don't hurt you, a slight burn might be a possibility.

Might not even be from a bullet. They look all panicked in that shot; they might be trying to escape from some Fulum, who could have... like, acid-tipped claws or some crap like that. Who knows.

'Shame, it's a nice shirt. >_>

This really ain't looking good, but at least we know who is writing it and who wrote the screenplay for sure.

It would be an utter shame, if the official teaser can't top that.
