All Mr. Verbinski basically had to do for The Ring was copy Ringu from slightly different angles, make it all blue, and add spooky noise. I would never consider The Ring to be an outstanding credit; only about 20% was different from the original, including the Nine Inch Nails-inspired remake of the ...

The question: can it work? The answer: the most definite yes I could ever afford. There's a right way to do anything . You could be making a movie about a robot driving instructor who goes back in time for some reason, and whose best friend is a talking pie, and there is a possibility that it co...

Good to know. This is a just-for-fun topic, right? Cool. Gillian Anderson as Ritsu works really well, surprisingly. Ben Stiller as Makoto. Clint Eastwood as Fuyustuki. Kevin Bacon as Gendo. You know, I actually got so used to Alison Keith as Misato, I can't really think of anyone else for that r...

After a lot of thought over who should score, I have to go with what I once strongly opposed and say John Williams. At first, all I could recall were things like Star Wars , but then I got my hands on two scores I had completely forgotten about: Hook and Jurassic Park . To me, those blended together...

If that idea were ever proposed (the idea of makin a film based on the alternate reality), I'm sure that before it ever came into fruition, it would have snowballed into a full-on spoof of the anime, or maybe all anime. Making a film of the alternate reality inside the story would probab...

Hmm, Robert Rodriguez? Can you say "Shinji Ikari = Ike Sanchez?" J/K. I love Mr. Rodriguez's work minus the Spy Kids films, but there's a difference between a great director and the right director. El Mariachi series was an outstanding set of films, but would you say they're te...

Someone mentioned James Cameron. What exactly is the story with Battle Angel Alita ? Since that seems to be in the works, I guess he can be counted out. Taking that project into consideration, this might be one of those instances like the Godzilla/Mighy Joe Young/Delayed P.J. King Kong project that ...

If it were a hoax, it would be a needlessly elaborate hoax. Since the margin of people who care enough to joke that they would kill is actually quite small, it would be wool unworth pulling over anyone's eyes. Although, I wonder how many people bought that Director's Cut DVD for the invervie...

In any situation whatsoever, I always choose subs over dubs, simply because you are experiencing the original production. (Well, as best as can be translated, anyway.) The performance is not bogged down by the task of having to synchronize with flapping lips. In all of my experience, watchin...
