Well consider those machines for the high strung dogs…?
Everything I have read about this movie has made me think this franchise may actually rise from the dead. Robert Rodriguez was on Diggnation talking about the film, and it gave me even more hope…

After seeing this trailer I think my positive attitude about this project may be justified.

Not to mention the multiple behandings. :eek:
P.S. Why does War Machine have red eyes?
To strike fear in the hearts of his enemies?
That would work really well.
Once.
Good luck even getting a cat in the same room with that thing a second time. :rolleyes:
I thought I would post this to balance out the wackiness of the other ‘Pet Posts’. Hope you find it inspiring-
I have no probolem admitting I cried during this… My last two pets have been ‘rescue’ animals, it is always rewarding to see them go from traumatized and fearful to loving members of the family.
This just in: Former United States Vice President Dick Cheney has denied claims that he attempted to requisition some of these machines for use in Guantanamo Bay.
I’m done with the washing machine jokes, I promise! At least until I think of another good one. d:
Yasutaka Tsutsui’s novel Paprika has already been adapted into animation by Satoshi Kon, but back in August of last year it was announced that a live-action feature version would be directed by Wolfgang Peterson. Now Peterson has issued a brief update on the adaptation, and he sounds like he’s planning for it to be big, if nothing else.
MTV talked to Peterson, who loved the anime telling of the story, and says that he’s got a very detailed treatment in hand that, if given the signal to move forward, should generate a script quickly.
Peterson says,
We open it up a little bit more so it’s more accessible for a wide audience, but it comes a little bit sort of “Matrix” feel. Not like Matrix but sort of the size of it all, the scope of it all. So that it becomes more of a film for a mainstream audience.
There was a point, thanks to Das Boot and In the Line of Fire, when Peterson’s name would have courted a lot more enthusiasm for this. Or cautious interest, at least. But it’s been a case of ‘what have you done for me lately,’ with him in the past fifteen years. Look at the list: Outbreak, Troy, Poseidon. When the highlights are The Perfect Storm and Air Force One, i.e. serviceable but not terribly memorable movies, then can we hope for a telling of Paprika that will be appropriately provocative?
Because Paprika, which deals with a machine that can launch people into others’ dreams, it’s very possible that Peterson’s film is going to have to compete with Christopher Nolan’s Inception. Actually, having seen the most recent Inception trailer and then re-watching Paprika (see the trailer below for a sample), it’s hard to figure that Nolan wasn’t already inspired by Satoshi Kon’s film in some measure.

This could be cool, the trailer I saw for their CG/Live action Starship Yamato Movie looked pretty awesome…

Scientists a Step Closer to Harry Potter-Like Invisibility After ‘Hiding’ Piece of Gold"
Saw an article on CNN.
That’s a lot of mixed metaphors.
I couldn’t find a CNN article… 
That is a lot more practical than the camera/projection system the Japanese have had for years.

Hmm. Tricky. Expectations will no doubt be huge for a new Godzilla flick. And to 3D or not 3D?

Per IESB. Will Smith has inked a deal to do two ID4 sequels (filmed back to backl)
Luke: Noooooooo!
those ships crashed, but there has to be a ton of aliens inside that survived. time for a ground war.
or does another even bigger ship equipped with norton anti-virus show up?
either way i am in the theatre seat with a coke zero and some rasinettes! i hope they call it MEMORIAL DAY!
The aliens have a time machine and it’s Will’s job to make sure they don’t change the past to win in the future in GROUNDHOGS DAY!
Oh, wait…
easy sequel—aliens send signal…more ships arrive…stuff blowing up ensues.
simple. direct. And Casey…I mean Jayne…I mean–whatever–Adam Baldwin gets to shoot more aliens.
- I want an Independence Day franchise.
- I want it to involve retrofitted alien technology grafted to earth stuff.
Some of my favorite episodes in Stargate were when they showed the US Military’s first steps into adapting ancient stuff to their own means and using it against the aliens.
There have been space battle movies, but how many that involve basically current-day technology out in space? There might not be a Footfall movie anytime soon with the Archangel Michael lifting out of Bellingham, but there can be an ID5, right?
