Then stop posting in this thread. Because those of us who do care about the movie would like to talk about it without having to ignore your pointless remarks.

Boy, you do sound like you care.

While Olivier and I bash heads every so often, in this particular thread and with these particular comments, I don't necessarily see any problem with how the opinions and points were presented. Sure, they don't contribute to and represent a positive impression of the movie... but that's OK. I don't love Kai (and am quickly growing towards the "don't care" position), but that doesn't mean I don't have anything relevant to say about it (and even going a little meta, as has been done in this thread, discussion about the discussion).

This is getting a little needlessly snarky, though. Of course, it was personally and directly brought out... but still. Let's just not go down this route, folks.

I will ask everyone to please be considerate of your peers, though, and recognize that we don't all have the same communication quirks. Keep it cool, yo.

You're right. I flipped through Oliver's recent posts to try to prove my point but all of the recent ones were tame and on-topic. I guess I just ignored those ones and only noticed the negative ones. So I apologize for bringing all this about, Oliver.

No problem. I didn't mean to sound rude (not at first, anyway).

Oddly, saw the Junior Nvel in Waterstones today tucked in between some shojo. I should have bought it, it must have been the only one in the country.

What did I buy, though, you ask? Transformers: The Movie. 2-Disc Ultimate Edition. For £2. Oooh, baby.

R.I.P. Optimus ;(

Vegetto just knows that Kaboom will be sad if this thread doesn't reach 250 pages. And if there's one thing in the world Vegetto hates, it's seeing SSj Kaboom shed a tear.

Just watched it........yeah.........I'm speechless. I had hopes for it, they went down when it came to release time, waited about a month later to watch it, just what I suspected.

I bet if everybody on this forum got together to re-make this movie as some sort of low budget flick, much like the Chinese and Korean movies, it would probably be way better than what I just watched.

Does anyone know if this is the current total for the movie?

Worldwide: $55,871,317

I don't think so, I think I remember seeing 57 million last week

I have to wonder if there's a difference between having a sequel announced before the first film opens in theaters and a sequel announced after the first film opens in theaters.

FOX announced Wolverine's afterward: http://news.yahoo.com/s/eonline/2009050 ... _eo/122213

But DBE's sequel was announced a couple days before: http://dbthemovie.com/2009/04/08/sequel-greenlit/

Which is a more normal period in which to announce such things?

X-Men is announced immediately because it's an established movie franchise that has proven itself profitable. Hugh Jackman said they don't even have a screenwriter for the sequel yet.

Fox won't publicly announce anything regarding a DB:E sequel until they're good and ready.

James Marsters interview:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOhE8i0LPc0

At 1:00 Marsters told Piccolo's backstory which oddly enough is not present in the movie at all. Even more weird is the backstory is actually pretty interesting and, yet, not a single word about this in the movie. What is going on here?!

Is James Marsters already talking about the sequel or what?

Innagadadavida · Post by **Innagadadavida** » Wed May 06, 2009 3:48 pm

Seems like a really likable guy. Why did he talk about how Pic was decrepit? I mean, in the movie he didn't look that old. But it was an interesting view into DBE Piccolo.Now I can better see how they've mixed the two into one.

Out of all the cast members I thought Marsters was the best which is unfortunate as Piccolo is the most underused character. Marsters comes across well in the interview too. His enthusiasm is great.

Chuquita · Post by **Chuquita** » Wed May 06, 2009 4:29 pm

Wow. He nailed facts about Goku originally being 12 years old in DB and he knows about the President of Earth dog. O_O

He seems so into it too; I'm pretty disappointed at how little screen time he got.

I still don't get why Marsters says Goku fights midgets. I mean, if anything Goku is a midget and he is fighting giants in comparison.
