That would be a great excuse if the lead villain in the movie weren't being played by an Indian. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 11/02/2010 05:26:49 AM
You know, the guy who in the cartoon is the lightest-skinned of the main characters.

EDIT: And if Paramount hadn't specifically mentioned "Caucasian" in their search for casting. Watch the video Werthead links to.

EDIT2: Whoops. Werthead's video. Not Aemon's.

I'm not saying it's an Asian show. You're right, it's totally American. Darth_Katie - 10/02/2010 10:55:37 PM 530 Views

Same thematic difference. Darth_Katie - 12/02/2010 03:09:12 PM 478 Views
There are dozens of movies with that "natury" theme LadyLorraine - 13/02/2010 02:49:15 PM 602 Views
I think you missed the winky face conveying less than seriousness. Darth_Katie - 13/02/2010 05:41:19 PM 562 Views
I agree about the shallowness of the characters LadyLorraine - 14/02/2010 02:35:45 AM 502 Views

NO IT ISN'T STOP USING NUMBERS OUT OF CONTEXT *NM* Ghavrel - 12/02/2010 02:44:45 AM 316 Views
he didn't use any numbers *NM* LadyLorraine - 12/02/2010 01:52:36 PM 277 Views
He's either relying on attendance or nominal gross, and neither is an accurate measurement. *NM* Ghavrel - 12/02/2010 03:09:03 PM 238 Views
...well...they're an accurate enough measurement of attendence or nominal gross! :p *NM* LadyLorraine - 13/02/2010 02:50:13 PM 288 Views
Nominal means nothing. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/02/2010 03:42:28 AM 288 Views
one can measure nothing!! *NM* LadyLorraine - 14/02/2010 04:24:39 PM 286 Views
agree with Lorraine + ... Bookwyrm - 10/02/2010 08:37:10 PM 671 Views
True, but I think that's because they were going for the anime style. Darth_Katie - 10/02/2010 10:09:41 PM 577 Views
This is a good video on the topic. Werthead - 11/02/2010 01:49:51 AM 703 Views
