MisaForever Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 I use to enjoy Spielberg news before, but I feel like he's going to hand it off to someone like Michael Bay. big fat meh... So you're one of those people who hated Transformers just because it was directed by him. Quote
GogDog Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 (edited) So you're one of those people who hated Transformers just because it was directed by him. Well, there is some truth in that. It would be great if actually directed these properties he gets. I only say that because he is a great director, but hardly directs anymore. Imagine if he actually did do this one. I liked the Transformers film and I'm a huge fan of the franchise, but I would have liked to have seen what he could have done with it. Edited April 16, 2008 by GogDog Quote

Gui Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 Maybe they'll get Kenji Kawai if they don't get Yoko Kanno... Quote
drifand Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 So, the big question still stands: Who should play Motoko? I still think Kelly Hu has the right looks but acting skills? Hmm. OTOH, Motoko doesn't say a lot in Oshii's brooding vision. :-D Quote
yellowlightman Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 Spielberg does good stuff. Good is probably a strong word for the films he puts out. They're passable, but he's a horribly overrated director that has had his hand in way too much crap to get much respect from me. As for him producing it being a bad thing (>Exo<) and using Transformers as an example, he also produced Band of Brothers which is probably the greatest war film/series/whatever ever, so... Quote
Beware of Blast Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 So, the big question still stands: Who should play Motoko? I still think Kelly Hu has the right looks but acting skills? Hmm. OTOH, Motoko doesn't say a lot in Oshii's brooding vision. :-D For the love of God, anyone but Kelly Hu. She has the bods but not the suitable face for Mokoto - her slit eyes are off and her chin gives out HUGE radar signature! Mokoto should be stealthy but Kelly Hu's chin is not. They should try someone like Fann Wong, then paste her face over Kelly's body. Quote

bsu legato Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 Passable. LOL. C'mon now...Munich could have benifited from some more car chases, a'la Bad Boys II. And War of the Worlds could really have used a plucky, comic-relief sidekick. And wtf was with the color timing in Schindlers List? Way to screw the pooch there, Steve-O. Quote

chowyunskinny Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 Maybe optioning rights to popular anime is like the collecting baseball cards among the Hollywood rich and famous. They're not actually going to do anything with the rights, it's just for bragging rights. Tobey Maguire - Hey Leo, I just optioned Robotech... Leonardo Di Caprio - oh yeah, Tobey? I acquired Akira yesterday Tobey - damn, I hear Spielberg got the rights to GITS Leonardo - that just leaves..... both - NINJA SCROLL Leonardo - I ran into Ashton Kutcher the other day. He told me he bought the rights to Naruto....What a Loser. Doesn't he know that Ninja Scroll is far superior Japanimation compared to Naruto. Tobey - Actually, I hear it was Demi's idea. Leo - Hey you want to hop in our eco-friendly electric cars and go to pinkberry and then go do some pilates? Quote
EXO Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 No, he hated Transformers because it was a shitty movie. No, because it was another shitty movie directed by him. Quote

taksraven Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 Nah. Tom Hanks as Batou! Yeah, with the classic Batou line - "There's a snake in my boot!" Taksraven Quote
