RUMOR CONTROL...THESE ARE THE FACTS

[Abraham Smashington]

AKIRA needs to just fucking die. The anime isn't all that great (from a story stand point, the books are better. The animation is fucking amazing though). The only way AKIRA works completely is in book form. Keep it that way.

In Akira? Shit, they'll probably recycle Stephen Lang again.

And you find fault with this in what way?

[Ed Hocken]

Akira is classic anime in that is a clear definition of STYLE over substance.

There's no way of doing this movie without it looking ugly and cheap.

And you find fault with this in what way?

*notices laser sight*

Uhhhhhh, no.

[FilmNerdJamie]

I'll believe it when I see it.

[Ed Hocken]

And because you'll never see it, you won't believe it.

See what I just did there

[V]

Well, if Pattinson is in there, then there's no way in all of God's green goodness I will see it.

[Abraham Smashington]

If they are going to do AKIRA they need to do it SPEED RACER style. I'd watch the fuck outta that.

[FilmNerdJamie]

Zing?

[Nathan]

And you find fault with this in what way?

Yeah, you done fucked up Ed.

If they are going to do AKIRA they need to do it SPEED RACER style. I'd watch the fuck outta that.

Oh, sweet merciful Zeus! Don't let Matt hear you say that!

[FilmNerdJamie]

Most of those guys are too old for the leads, assuming they're still going for late teens/early 20s.

Fassbender is great, but he's 33. And looks it.

[Ed Hocken]

Yeah, you done fucked up Ed.

How exactly? I didn't say reusing Stephen Lang was a bad thing. So, the fuckup was actually unfucked.

[Abraham Smashington]

Oh, sweet merciful Zeus! Don't let Matt hear you say that!

HEY MATT I HOPE THEY MAKE AKIRA LIKE SPEED RACER, THE GOONIES and THE FIFTH ELEMENT ALL COMBINED!

[V]

How exactly? I didn't say reusing Stephen Lang was a bad thing. So, the fuckup was actually unfucked.

Yes, but the snark inherent in your tone increases the fuckup factor exponentially...

[Ed Hocken]

Ya got me there
