    Sweeney Todd is good stuff.

    It's priest, try a little priest.
    Is it any good?
    Sir, it's too good, at least.

    I need to take a vacation.

    Do I request 1 or 2 weeks off?

    Oh no I am remembering the wigs from the full metal alchemist movie

    no

    oh my god why is his wig so bad you have an entire CG character there was clearly a budget here

    They knew their audience wouldn't care.
    Nobody complains about the set design in a porno either.

    DK does.

    His rants on porno lighting are legendary.

    Fury Road was probably, at best, B- of a movie though, for reals.

    Attack on Titan and Fullmetal Alchemist both explicitly take place in an aesthetic stand-in for western europe. Lots of blonde hair and blue eyes, western castles and cobblestone streets. All the names are like that Japanese baseball game that made up an entire roster of western sounding name.

    And yet both movies have an all-japanese cast in horrible wigs and tend to omit characters that couldn’t be done well by japanese actors. Why didn’t they just hire some token foreigners to act in the movies? Save a bit on terrible wigs and eye enlargement makeup.

    Nope.

    Japan's movie industry is very much Japan first.

    Also I mean, what did you expect from these movies?

    I remember fill in issues. Enjoying the storyline from last month? Looking forward to the story we told you would happen this month? Yeah too bad Rick was late with the art so here's a one shot that mostly fits in continuity that we may never refer to again.

    Or the occasional issue which would have pages of a character just remembering the history of a particular bad guy or hero so the reader got up to speed, all complete with asterisked editors notes detailing the relevant back issues.

    Iron Man: The Musical is something I'd get 200% behind.

    Captain America was already a musical.

    Could you imagine a Ghost in the Shell live-action movie with asian actors?

    Heck, even if there's only two or three asian characters in a property, American movies will often whitewash or omit them.

    We complain about whitewashing so often and we have a well produced movie that isnt so but we still like to beat it down for minor faults.

    This upsets me greatly, if it's true.
    The live-action Fullmetal, like the anime, follows the Elric brothers, Edward (Ryôsuke Yamada) and Alphonse (Atom Mizuishi), as they search for a Philosopher's Stone in the fictional European nation of Amestris. Sori ties together Arakawa’s greatest hits—the Elric boys' fate, Winry and her automail, the three primary Homunculi—but in the interest of time, the filmmaker streamlines the first third of the story. He dumps Scar, Major Armstrong, and any Homunculi other than Lust, Envy and Gluttony onto the cutting room floor.
