oh right, i was going to post more things. ill admit to being a wee slack this week. todays a mild hump day (wont go into why) so thats my explanation. moriarty over on aicn posted his early review of sky captain today…and hes lovin’ it. the look and feel of the movie is definitely a must-see, with its depiction of a gernsback-ian past/future where zeppelins roamed the skies and everything had chrome and fins. moriarty also quipped about one particularly interesting thing about the movie…it stars lord lawrence olivier! yea hes dead, but that doesnt mean he cant be popping his head up in movies here and there. woo to the sky captain.
APPLESEED
and i missed this bit of appleseed news from monday. igns new layout confuses me, and its easier to miss news briefs now because of the layout (imo). anyhoo, ign reports that geneon entertainments has acquired the rights to the appleseed movie outside of japan and korea, and will be handling the global theatrical release and home videos. they plan to open appleseed in north america sometime in late summer. word…cant wait.

is appleseed a good series? am i THAT out of the otaku loop. :I
theres only ever been one appleseed anime (1988…ive never seen), so i suppose from an american point of view, if you dont read manga, appleseed can be relatively obscure.
