'just dropping a line to say that Miyazaki-san's Ponyo on the cliff by the sea was released today in France and it's great ! Not on par with masterpieces like The Castle in The Sky or Mononoke Hime but still very worth being seen.

There is no way they can cram that game into a movie and do it any kind of respectable justice. It's going to be an excuse to throw graphics around and judging from how The legend of Chun-Li looks, It won't resemble Shadow of the Colossus in the slightest.

I'm tired of hollywood taking great source material and slapping the same old predictable plot onto them, only leaving enough hints of the original to put into the trailer and catch the naive. They've ruined to many of my child hood favorites by now for me to give anything a chance.

Also they are apparently remaking Neverending Story.  >:(

SOTC plays with many strengths unique to videogames. It would need someone who understands it's foundation and has the ability to re-imagine it to work on the big screen.
Now it's given to people who look at the medium as something less significant. It will suck and i hope the game studio at least got some money out of it to work on their next game.

Haha you know how you need to have different visual priorities for action space and passive space?

Please tell Naruto's author, Kishimoto that, someone.

I'm pretty sure Naruto doesn't see the success it does as a series because the artist making it very adept in the finer points of the artform.

It's not the story either (the main plotline) that makes Naruto popular. It's the characters. Never mind the art, screw the plot, Naruto is all about character development. There's one or two for each reader to choose as their favourites. (Mine's Temari.)
