Back on topic, has anyone seen the previews for Chronicle? It has a lot of aspects of Akira, including a troubled youth getting super powers and using them for revenge and evil. We'll get an advanced view of how that kind of movie will do in theatres.
For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?
It kind of looks interesting. i might have to check it out.
This looks familiar. I think I might have posted it on page 2 of this thread like a few weeks ago, but I'm not sure.Originally Posted by Animeniax
Perhaps you were too busy being patronizing.
But to answer your question, it will almost certainly do terribly in theaters. No name recognition, no pandering to a fan base. Who's going to see that low-budget thing?
It's totally gonna be a more interesting movie than the one being discussed in this thread will be, though.

I'm pretty sure you checked page 2 before posting that you "might have" posted it there. In my defense, it was all the way back last year that you posted it, so a reminder doesn't hurt.

I haven't really been keeping up with the thread, but I do remember someone posting something about how all the actors/actresses were white, and when I read the following article, I just had to share it:
CNN - "Hollywood Steals Asian Jobs for Whites" - Sankaku Complex (link NSFW)
It's dangerous to go alone. Take Nep.
"Japanese seem practically resigned to having America routinely plundering their culture."
Fucking weeaboos.

Isn't this movie filmed and produced in Vancouver?

It doesn't have a dedicated thread and has been posted about in here multiple times, so I'm just going to drop this here, but Chronicle is getting stellar reviews. Ebert gave a meandering but positive review, B+ from AVClub, and good buzz on SA.
It looks pretty amazing from the many commercials they've been airing for the past 2 months before it's release. Hope it lives up to the excitement and is a blueprint for the producers to make Akira into a great movie.
On the subject of Hollywood whitewashing, I happened to see 10 minutes of Grey's Anatomy... all white doctors and one korean. Talk about whitewashing your cast.

I stand by my hasty uninformed judgement. What a great country we live in.

Ey, it's better than manning up.

I'd have to actually watch more of the show to know you're right, and I'm not willing to do that.

I don't know why you were watching it in the first place...
I think I was watching Wipeout and then took my dog for a walk, then when I got back Grey's Anatomy was on. True story.

That is suspiciously specific, sir...
I was watching Wipeout hoping to see that Jill Wagner was still the eye candy on the show...

Alas, she has left the show.
