I have the song stuck in my head right now. To me this one of the three hard-core love/addictions I had growing up through the teen-years and even till today. The first is Superman; even the new movie didn�t disappointment me. Second was the transformers (original) of which most suck except Beast Wars, I own the entire series on DVD. Third was Godzilla but who doesn�t like a 30 story lizard that walks all over Tokyo?

Now if only they would make a Dragonball Z movie. I can just see Vegeta going SSJ right now!

Why won't they make a Starblazer movie? I mean you would think that in the hands of a skilled writer and director like the dude who made the LOTR's movies, starblazers could be made into a damn good movie series.

What about a GIJOE movie? I want to see just how bad of shots those COBRA soldiers really are in a live action movie. If the cobra soldiers were a component in SEIV, they would have a -1000% to hit bonus.

If SJ is right they wouldn�t be modable in SE5, it forces a round off to 1%. A GI Joe movie would really suck! The movie would start, 30 minutes later all of the equipment would be blown up, and the last hour and a half would be spent with the Joes and Cobra at 30 paces exchanging fire. And you know what that would really mean don�t you? SEQUEL!

Ok, this topic is making me feel old. Transformers and GIJoe were in that group of cartoons that came out after I stopped watcing cartoons. I was well aware of them, but in my mind they were "for kids". So I have to fight the urge to tell you guys you are lame for wanting to see this movie.

Kind of like my parents feel about me going to the Spiderman movies, or the way you guys felt about the Rugrats movies.

I'd be right behind you in line waiting to see the movie if it was ever made. My favorite anime growing up (of course, I didn't know it was called anime, and I was about 15 when it came to my area). I still haven't seen the 3rd or 4th series yet, but hope to one of these days.

Also, even though I still haven't seen the original series, I wouldn't mind seeing a Robotech movie or two being made. As long as it's live action with good looking CGI, just about any of the old anime series could be done. Unfortunately, I don't think there are too many geeks/nerds out there who'd go see such a movie. Heck, the last time I checked, not even Sci-Fi channel shows anime anymore.

Pretty much the only place to find anime, as of late, is Cartoon Network. It's been in the rumor mill for years that CN was going to start an all anime channel but nothing has come of it.

I can see two major obstacles to making live-action anime movies (assuming English language.) First, anime tends to get dumbed-down when it is dubbed into English, imagine how bad that would be in order to sell to a more mainstream audience. Second, anime stories tend to be very long, you're going to lose a lot of content in a two hour movie.

Having said all that, there is a Japanese language Prince of Tennis live-action movie which was actually pretty good!
