Something Dragonball Movie-Related That Doesn't Make Me Want to Stab My Eyes Out
Posted at 10:11 AM Jul 21, 2008
A Japanese movie poster for the live-action Dragonball movie got released over the weekend, and I can't tell whether I'm so used to getting terrible news and seeing terrible pictures that this one isn't that bad by comparison, or if it's genuinely okay. I'm trying my best to be my bitchy, hypercritical self, and all I got is that Goku didn't wear blue pants, which even I recognize as pretty low on any film's list of accuracy problems. Unsettling!

To be fair, orange pants would have been ridiculous. I mean, who wears orange pants? Come on! What is this, an adaptation of a cartoon where aliens fire balls of energy from their hands?
Posted 07/21/2008 at 07:49:07 AMI'm going to make oyu hope for nice: 100 000 000$! That's the money that will have been spent on the movie. Considering the casting, actors won't even cost a 1/10 of it, so spical effects will surely rocks!
It may sounds weird, but I'm a rare person feeling that it will worth the money and will surely close most of false critics' mounths.
And remember this one is about Goku's childhood and there will be changes in manga stroy to fit in 4 films from Lord piccolo saga to the last breath of Buu. So, Justin won't look muscled since Goku was a bit chubby; the film should stop by Lord Piccolo's death pictured at page 70 of the 14 volume in french version. So, they go from one to 14 on the first shot.
There're already done shooting scenes since a while; they're on post-production. Chatwin will see his Kamehameha soon, but the production will go on till april 10th 2009 if they don't change the date again!
So "Wait and see" is all a fan can do and prepare him/herself for changes and adaptation, so he/she can appreciate something he/she could've missed; maybe one of the best movie ever, we don't know! ANy way, IT IS one of the most controversal and waited movie of all time; some wants it, others don't; but both side wait for the results to come.
-REal big fan
Posted 07/21/2008 at 11:25:37 AMif you want that little extra nudge into the chasm, allow me to shove you in, meine freund:
1) This image looks like the product of a 5 year old's dabbling with Photoshop.
2) Dragonball Z isn't cool enough to warrant a live action film. It is hereby relegated to the realm currently occupied by Tank Girl, Man-Thing, and any number of Uwe Boll films.
3)Orange pants? ORANGE FUCKING PANTS!?!? I thought Cross-Colors gear wasn't fashionable anymore!?
Posted 07/21/2008 at 11:31:01 AMHm...I don't have a problem with the costume, it looks well made...it's just how terribly thin Goku is, and how awfully small that dragonball is...(and why are his arms so short :p)
