Sadly, A True Story

Dragon Ball Z Screencaps

I recently discovered how simultaneously amusing and badass individual frames from Dragon Ball Z look. It saddens me that traditional animation is a dying art form. Computer animated anime has this "plastic", fake presentation that, to me, is much less appealing than that of, say, The Castle of Cagliostro.

Both sets of pictures take place during the Namek Saga within close proximity to each other. Put simply, the frames depict Goku and Vegeta making the Ginyu Force look stupid (yet still awesome). Goku is seemingly capable of being at two places at the same time--not that this would be the most unbelievable facet of DBZ (fusion-HA, anyone?)

Post-Twentieth Century Disney Sickens Me

I respect the fact that Disney has been able to supply the Western world with quality DVD and Blu-Rays transfers of Studio Ghibli films; however, the English dubs can be sickening at times. It's ironic that the original Troma dub of My Neighbor Totoro holds up much better in comparison to the newer Disney dub featuring Dakota Fanning. Now, I have a theory for why the original dub sounds SO much better--it's a pretty wild idea, but just hear me out: the Troma dub is better because...they employed VOICE actors. When it comes to casting an animated film, you can give me a veteran voice actor over an A-List celebrity any day of the week. There is a huge disparity in the amount of emotion and sincerity that goes into the dialogue. However, with that being said, unless you are watching a Miyazaki film with a younger sibling that can't keep up with the subtitles, always watch it in Japanese. The dubs cannot do these movies justice.

Rock'em Sock'em Robots: The Movie

After a brief search on Google I was able to confirm that I am not alone in my belief that the upcoming film "Real Steel" is really just Rock'em Sock'em Robots: The Movie.


I respect Hugh Jackman as an actor in spite of the fact that many of his films (e.g. X-Men: The Last Stand) are detrimental to my intelligence. Proof of his talent can be seen in his early stage performances; granted, I'm quite fond of Oklahoma. Yet, this trailer is more than enough evidence that "Real Steel" is going to suck eggs. Putting aside the obvious fact that the plot holds the sweet scent of a Hollywood gimmick, I am predicting the movie's downfall will come at the hands of the child actor (whose name I refuse to look up on principle). Just watch the trailer. Let the cheesiness of the dialogue ooze from your computer speakers like an 80's synth-pop music video. Maybe I've been spoiled by the work of Haley Joel Osment (Forrest Gump, The Sixth Sense, A.I. Artificial Intelligence), but in comparison, this child sounds awful. His line reads have the sincerity of a high school Spanish class video project. One can only hope that the kid doesn't already have an ego, and more importantly, can strive to improve his acting ability.
