Thoughts On Dragon Ball: Evolution

Yeeeeeeaaaaaaah, so I so saw the trailer for Dragon Ball: Evolution a few weeks ago. I should have made a blog entry about my thoughts on it a lot sooner but I've been busy doing other things.

So what are my impressions on the trailer? Well as far as special effects go, it looks like it'll be pretty sweet. It also looks like there will be some solid martial arts actions in there. The film seems to have some topnotch actors on board as well. I mean, we've got Chow Yun friggin' Fat as Master Roshi. There's some hot babe playing Bulma, and hot babes in movies are always a good thing.

Concerning things outside of special effects and the actors, it looks like they Americanized the heck out of Dragon Ball. I know I'm only going off what I've seen from the trailer, but a live-action DB movie has always made me cringe. Some things just aren't mean to be live-action and for all the good this movie has going for it that I listed above, I just have a feeling this movie will bomb horribly. Of course I could be wrong. After all, I thought Transformers was going to be poo and I ended up enjoying that flim so much that I bought the 2 disc special edition DVD. At least Goku doesn't make my ears bleed when she says the name of his trademark move in the tralier like he does in the Japanese version of the anime.

One "Bullet Proof Monk" acts as.......THE PERVERTED OLD SNOT?

He won't touch Bulma's butt or boobs? If he doesn't this really would make him out of character but I can't see "Show Young Fat" being this nasty. Maybe I can; actors do dirty stuff in front of a lense

Roshi trying to hit on Bulma will be totally up to how they portray the character in the film. I agree he should be the perverted old man he is in the anime/manga.

I actually fear that Mr. Fat would be pervert, don't want to hate the good old monk

I'm figuring he'll be quasi-perveted in the film. Maybe he'll show interest in Bulma, but he won't go to the extremes he did in the show.

R.I.P Mickey Mouse

In case you haven't heard , Wayne Allwine, the voice actor of Mickey Mouse passed away at the age of 62. He had been voice the world's most famous mouse since 1977. The original voice actor for Mickey was Walt Disney himself. Allwine's imitation of Disney's voice was spot on. Most of the the Mickey Mouse cartoons I've seen were voiced by Allwine. 'Tis a sad day in cartoon history. R.I.P, Wayne Allwine.

Spider-Haul!

My tax rebate check (finally) came in the mail and after setting some of the green aside for bills, I decided I'd treat myself. Went to my comic shop and snagged myself some cool Spider-Man goodies. I was thinking I'd pick up Amazing Spider-Man #247 to further complete my issues for Roger Stern's run. God must have really smiled on me because when I was looking through the back issue boxes for said comic, I found a copy of Amazing Spider-Man #248, which has the highly praised side story, The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man. And I was just talking about this story a few weeks ago. Go figure. This could be my Spidey biased kicking in, but I've always loved Black Cat more than Catwoman. Don't get me wrong, I like Selina Kyle and her feline alter ego. In fact, she stared in one of my favorite mini series, Selina's Big Score, but I find Felicia Hard to be a more interesting character. Be it the sexual tension between her and Spidey, or her simply being a good friend and ...
