I grew up on Robotech, Voltron, etc., but Akira was my initiation into anime films. From there, I sought out everything else. I remember being bummed out when they decided to redub the voices, so I can only imagine how I will feel when it is remade. :( Some things are just better off left alone because remaking them, especially something like this, defeats the purpose of its original magnitude. Akira is one of those films that cannot be outdone and should not be reenvisioned.

Totally agree!

I do indeed. :) I've just decided to take a little break in doing graphic design projects in my sparetime for a while – it has simply gotten too much lately – and focus on drawing and practising the E-Bass for some time. So: Good timing.

If you check out the story as it is now you will see that the pictures are in different places. I have also indicated separations by chapter headings and asterix to show where a new picture might be needed. The main rewriting I intend to do will only by to add a little to each segment where needed and then to finish the final battle for Earth. I wish someone would light a fire under AgentSmith's rear end and get those projected "work groups" going so we can do things here without exposure.

Yeah … the advancement on MOS is going on really slow … well, I'm gonna check out the latest version of SpaceBlob at the weekend and maybe start some sketches. I'm already very much looking forward to continue the spaceblobbing!

Hehe, well, I'd say, Pizza is more Italian style food than American … though AFAIK the difference between Italian and American Pizza is mainly the thickness of the pastry. Not sure – any Italian cook around to clear this up?

To be honest, I had no beer at all yesterday! It was a slightly weird and particular sunday. ;)

America is famous for stealing everyone else's junk food. Now pizza comes in any thickness you want. You can even get it on slices of Italian bread instead of pizza crust.

Ah, Bruschetta! Tastyyy …

That is really a hoot! I love it. Somebody needs to sign her up for one of those talent search shows.

In all my years of taking the subway in Boston, and actually knowing some of the musicians on occasion, I've yet to run into someone playing Star Trek on a saw. She would have earned her dollar from me.

I think I would have hugged her and kissed her feet until she would have called the police or something.

OMG … well, at least his father was a real actor, while he is primarly only good in playing himself. >;)

Absolutely! XD

Ah, I see … since it sounds more german than hungarian, maybe it's from the days, when Austria and Hungary were one kingdom. There are many Austrians with hungarian names and Hungarians with Austrian names.

my dad use to tell me his ancestors came from the black forrest region of bavaria

Cool, my surname origins from Bavaria as well! :)

Ah … I'm gonna go build my own planet, with blackjack and hookers. In fact, forget the planet!

;)

I like this one better.

Thumbs up! :D

I've seen the first episode, but I don't have cable so I have to wait for more freebees. It was as good as adversised. I'll never see Atlanta in quite the same light.

Sounds cool. :) I'm curious.

I just watched the first season on DVD from Netflix. I was very surprised. It actually has a plot. Now I have to wait for the next on to come in the mail. I have to find out what happened to the man who cut his own hand off to escape.

So that guy doesn't return the whole first season? That's unexpected.

Paradox is such a mild word for this phenomenon - paradox only implies the negation of all of existence because of an irreconcilable conflict of fundamentals, but this, this is worse.

Yeah … totally brainless.

Du hast recht. :-) Oh well, that is the extent of my German today. I wish I could see this movie here in "South Cakilackie, where the law of gravity don't mean a thing," (the Talking Heads). When is it coming to the States?

Hmmm … according to IMDb it was released in the USA in September 2010 at the Austin Fantastic Fest [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1583356/releaseinfo]

Hm. Well. I'm pessimistic. The statements of Scott and Lindelof sound like shallow promo-blabla and a lot each-others-ass-kissing. And if they really cast Angelina Jolie, I'd understand, the movie settles for as-hot-considered-chicks instead of real good actors.

Well, we'll see.

"shallow promo-blabla and a lot each-others-ass-kissing" you certainly have a way with word for somebody whose first language is not English.

Hey thank you. I'm glad you like my dissing. ;))

*rotfl* Thanks a lot, Steve, this is gonna be VERY helpful!
