  1. Like most of you, I've generally dismissed 3D movies as being a gimmick, and like Roger Ebert, I've been skeptical of seeing it used in a "serious" movie. However, the other day I thought of Christopher Nolan's "Memento" and recalled that the story worked only because of its "gimmick" of being a backwards movie. It would be interesting to see if somebody can find a clever use of 3D film technology to tell a story that couldn't exist or work well without it. Of course, if that movie doesn't innovate cinematic storytelling, or at least result in further inventive uses, then 3D will continue to be an unnecessary addition to movies.
  2. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-...haruhi-suzumiya End of first paragraph: "Bang Zoom! Entertainment is co-producing the English-language adaptation, and a DVD release will ship at a date to be announced later." So while there's no mention of Blu-ray specifically, there will be at least a DVD release.
  3. Mikimoto "Starbucked" the ship's engineer Edit: attached scan of Gina Bartrow(?)
  4. I think #1 is Technovoyager AKA Thunderbirds 2086 (look at bottom right at the 1:25 mark: http://www.nicovide.jp/videos/nv1407225/)
  5. Started playing on Tuesday (got it from Amazon on Monday and wanted to wait out the PS3 leap year fiasco). I'm enjoying it so far, even though I suck at QTE events and I did run into one of the hanging glitches noted by other players. If anyone is unsure whether to get it or not, try the demo since (at least, so far) it's very representative of the full game (sans nudity )
  6. Aren't they talking about just the preview being published in The Sneaker on Apr. 30, not the full novel (at least from what I can read in the article's accompanying picture)?
  7. Those were from the first anime CD-Single and CD, respectively, I ever owned Here's some Miho Morikawa: "Blue Water" (Nadia of the Mysterious Seas (aka Secret of Blue Water) TV OP) "Yes I Will" (Nadia of the Mysterious Seas TV ED) "Positive" (Ranma 1/2 TV ED) TM Network: "Get Wild" (City Hunter TV ED) More KOR from Kanako Wada: "Natsu no Mirage" (KOR TV ED)(*live TV performance) (*jump to 2:28) Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra: "Main Title" (Giant Robo OVA) H20: "Omoide ga Ippai" (Miyuki TV ED) Kumi Miyasato: "Himitsu Kudasai" (Megazone 23 Part II OVA Insert Song)
  8. Actually, Hattori Hanzo was a historical figure, played by Sonny Chiba in a series that Tarantino watched during the '80s on a local L.A. TV station: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hattori_Hanz%...popular_culture But getting back on topic, yeah, the NEO-GEO AES was one system I wished I could afford back in the day. I still love the slightly Engrish narration during the title sequence for 'Nam '76: "Do I have to go back to the Hell again?"
  9. This was always my interpretation, especially if you take the first chorus of "Angel's Paints" into account (apologies for my rough translation): Kanashii dekigoto ga BURUU ni someta kokoro mo Tenshi no en no gu de nurikaeru yo Omoi no mama ni "With angel's paints I'll paint over as I please even my heart dyed blue by sad events"
  10. Live-action GITS gets screenwriter: http://www.variety.com/article/VR111801030...yid=13&cs=1
  11. Although they didn't make me cry, I'm sure I would've if I had seen these <i>Futurama</i> episodes for the first time under different circumstances: "Luck of the Fryrsh": when Fry learns the truth behind his brother "stealing" his name and his lucky clover "Jurassic Bark": Hachiko-esque ending. 'Nuff said.
  12. "Presented in High Definition"? Is it being distributed and shown digitally instead of on film? Edit: They're also showing it at Empire Theatres in Canada: http://www.empiretheatres.com/evangelion
  13. I was watching Episode 00 again last night, and was wondering where they found blooming sakura that late in the year, but now I know
  14. I think it was the summer of '95. A friend came back from Hong Kong with the Japanese LDs of parts 1 and 2. We got a kick out of the retconning from the "Macross: A Future Chronicle" featurette: <in narrator's voice> "2032: Space War I made into a movie... 'Do You Remember Love?'"
  15. How about Atari's blunder of backing out of the deal to distribute the Nintendo Famicom outside Japan?
  16. Consider this a rumor for now, but: Sarah Connor Chronicles to Continue Late 2010 This is from the same person who earlier this year said this was its last season, a couple of months before Fox confirmed it wasn't getting renewed for next season.
  17. In one of the iterations, there were 15 things listed, so I don't think so. I think it's a reference to August (the eighth month, or 八月). Also, the Arabic eight ( looks like the infinity symbol (∞) turned on its side.
  18. Not yet In the mean time, please enjoy this: NERV vs SOS団
  19. To me, it sounded like she was calling the manager "occhan", which I think is the male equivalent of "obachan", so maybe "gramps" would've been a better translation. Of course, if somebody who's better at Japanese knows differently, please feel free to correct me.
  20. Kyon: Haruhi! Uh... badger eloquent resuscitate fondly! Haruhi: What? <universe implodes>
  21. Zac Efron: (singing) All these moments will be lost in time... Chorus: (singing) Lost in time! Everybody: (singing) ... like teeeaaarrrrs in the raaaaiiiiinnnnnnn!
