This movie? It's going to be so. very. sweet. Ghost in the Shell: Innocence (new int'l trailer). Must see this now! Even if it had zero story... it's like every fancy anime trick with the whizbang computer animation and a bad ass sdtk (which I annoy the hell out of my co-workers with, only one of them speaks Japanese and she's more into the Ayumi Hamasaki bubblegum jpop scene). I want to see this like I want to see "Sky Captain". The pretty revolution has come folks.


[random geekness] Marvel wants to break into television once and for all? They can team up with Shinchiro Watanabe (Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo) or Mamoru Oshii (GITS) or Rumiko Takahashi (Inu-yasha, Ranma 1/2).. or dare I say it, :gasps: Yoshitaka Amano (Vampire Hunter D). Although I'm not sure my geek nature could stand that many rapturous nerdgasms.... Wolverine, Rogue, Gambit, (Dark) Phoenix flying around all big-eyed, angsty-brooding-male-leads, blood-soaked and/or super-sexy... but retaining that higher-end story telling quality, not compromising any of that integrity? It's too much to hope for, too many egos and too much red tape... it would never happen. Although if it did DC wouldn't be bitchslapping Marvel in TV like they so pathetically are now.

Coming out in the US Sept. 17. Go Fish Pictures has the Amer. distribution rights. They did a pretty good job with the Amer. "Millenium Actress" release (dubs and such), hopefully they'll do just as good, if not better for GITS2. The movie's eye candy factor alone guarantees me seeing this, but every review I've read has been thankfully pretty positive. EEEEeeee!! "Sky Captain" (more gratuitous eyecandy) is also coming out in Sept. if I'm not mistaken. Is Sept. going to be redefined as the gratuitous visualgasm month? Looks like it.
