Are you going to see Ghost in the Shell?
>>152706962
No.
If it gets good reviews, I will.
/thread
>>152706962
>not Ghost in the Taco Bell
Probably.
It better have making of a cyborg as intro song.
will Puppet Master have a nice rack???
Are you angry about the whitewashing?
Do you think this will have the same themes as the original movie?
>>152706962
The setting looks like anus. Half of my enjoyment with the original gits was the atmosphere. Looks like what we're getting is New York with chink billboards. So no.
>>152706962
its not anime
>>152706962
fuck no
>>152707513
I'm not angry about the whitewashing, I'm angry about the general ugliness.
And sure, it'll have the same themes. In an even looser and dumber way.
>>152707537
>they made scarjo's face as small as possible because they know she looks like ass
k e k
>>152708129
Is Motoko even Asian?
>>152708162
Yes.
>>152708162
Is she really human?
>>152708162
Shirow said that she could be any ethnicity. Or at least ethnicity isn't really relevant to the casting of the The Major because the only thing human is her brain. The Major's only physical form was a japanese child during the accident. Both the manga and the shows/movies show that in theory she could be several different ethnicities - but most likely white or asian.
>>152706962
I haven't seen the movies so pardon my ignorance but,
Is there anything to seriously imply the entire cast/main characters are all Asian? I know that this is an "issue" with any live-action adaptation of anime but I think there is always some assumption that Asian writer=Asian cast which is not always true. I remember this coming up for Akira when a live action adaptation was allegedly in development but that's understandable since it's clear from the beginning that it all takes place in Tokyo (but even then the manga had included different nationalities, including the US).
If they did a DBZ adaption (again) people would probably insist to make the cast Asian but there's little to imply that everyone in that series is Asian, especially when most of the main cast are technically Aliens from outer space.
pig in the shell.
No.
>>152708340
Gee anon, I have no idea what ethnicity someone with the name Motoko Kusanagi might be.
>>152708312
>>152708162
She's incredible math.
Probably
Just to see how bad it is. I mean I watched Dragonball Evolution, just not in theaters.
Also, i know there's no chance of it happening but i would like to see some scarjo tiddies
>>152707513
No because asians literally can't act
>>152706962
No.
>>152707513
>Are you angry about the whitewashing?
No, I am angry because it will be shit like pretty much all live adaptations.
>>152708436
There's a German girl in Evangellion named "Asuka" which is a Japanese name. Let that sink in for a moment.
>>152708731
Asuka LANGLEY Sohryu is quarter Japanese.
>>152707513
>cast jew as the major
>whitewashing
What? Don't be retarded.
>>152706962
yeah
Yeah. What could go wrong.
I already saw a better version of it
>>152706962
Unless the reviews will claim it to be an unexpected masterpiece, then obviously no.
If I had a friend to take to cinema and take a piss together then I'd maybe consider going on the first day
>>152709849
>caring about paid reviews
>>152706962
No. I only watch SoL/Comedy because of my mental illness. Any kind of drama and violence makes me uncomfortable.
Why would I? I have no interest in American cinema.
Wait, so what happened at the end of the first movie when Motoko was on the child's body? She was a child then she was a man? Did Puppet Master fuse with her?
>>152709952
I don't, but if suddenly a dozen popped out claiming that the movie which everyone expect to be crappy cash grab is actually something surprisingly solid I'd check it out of pure curiosity
>>152710062
They're all going to say that. If you're checking it out of pure curiosity just wait until there are decent torrents available.
>>152710062
do that, but if possible, don't pay for it.
>>152707537
What are you talking about man, looks like a true cyberpunk a city to me. Didn't you notice all the holograms and tall buildings?
>>152710749
Dosen't look Cyber punk to me
Why the hell would I? It looks like they are just doing the same storyline as the original anime but worse. I might go see a new story, but not just a 3D remake
>>152706962
No.
>>152710885
My thoughts exactly.
>>152706962
I have 4 or 5 free movie tickets lying around. I might use one of them if people I know want to see it. Since it was a free ticket, the studio won't be getting any of my money.
>>152709990
>She was a child
well, she was in a child's body, provided by Batou of course
>then she was a man?
what?
>>152706962
I'm going to download blu-ray rip. If it gets good reviews.
>>152711363
She was on a child's body, yeah. But she said something about how when she was a child she thought as a child, but now she's a man and she thinks as a man.
>>152707537
what is takeshi doing there?
Live Action is always fail, so no.
>>152710749
Damn is only my city stuck in the past?
>>152711583
>when she was a child she thought as a child, but now she's a man and she thinks as a man
I'm pretty sure that's just standard your philosophy-spouting that GitS is known for.
Alternatively, that's the PuppetMaster portion of her being speaking.Either way, I refuse to believe I'm fapping to a dude
>>152711852
The puppetmaster was not a guy, they were AI. I thought that was the point.
>>152706962
I'll pirate it and then never watch it.
I have a thing where every other weekend I go see a movie with my brother and dad. The latter likes any sort of scifi and capeshit so he wants to see this. My brother knows I loathe the idea of seeing it and wants to see me suffer
>>152711904
PuppetMaster had nice tits.
>>152706962
I generally don't watch movies anymore, so no. It's all shit nowadays, and there aren't even cute girls to compensate.
An adaptation of an adaptation of a pseduo-philisophical work carried by strong direction, presentation of theme, and animation (in the movie) produced by Hollywood with people unfamiliar to the source material and the context of its origin.
Gee, I wonder. I hope it bombs so they stop trying to adapt anime to suit the tastes of people with no interest in it.
>giving them money
Nope.
>>152711583
>>152711852
It's a quote from the bible.
>When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.
>>152710749
Look at Blade Runner to see a good made hollywod optical cyberpunk
Threadly reminder to not even give this movie a chance
Even if you end up hating it a ticket sale is just another $12 step towards more of the same garbage
>>152715010
If it wasn't obvious by the baneposting edit image, I was being ironic. The city in the trailer looked like a shitty exaggerated version of a "cyberpunk" city, basically how someone who knows nothing of cyberpunk would do it. Literally just "throw holograms everywhere".
>>152706962
>Didn't see the original or any other GoTS media
Wasn't interested then, definitely not interested now.
>>152718836
Did you come here by mistake? This isn't Reddit anon...
If you don't wanna give them money for this shit but still see it, just buy a random ticket for any movie and make sure GitS starts at around the same time and go into that theater instead...
>>152719223
This is what I've been saying to do, give some money to an underdog movie and go watch the trainwreck instead
>>152706962
As long as it gets at least decent reviews, I probably will.
March is a slow time for movies, so I take what I can get. I know it almost certainly won't live up to the source material, but if its at least an entertaining popcorn movie, thats fine by me
>>152712058
Puppet master was not an AI he was a living, thinking entity born in the sea of information.
>>152706962
I will probably get dragged by myfriendsanyways
>>152706962
I hope it bombs, don't want Hollywood to make endless remakes of classic Anime movies. (over and over and over and over...)
I think it might do well in China, although i seems that China is not interested in Science fiction.
>>152707513
>Are you angry about the whitewashing?
No, I'm angry that this is an attempt at the GitS but with every good bit removed or dumbed down to make room for an extremely generic movie aimed at the ADHD crowd who can't go 10 minutes without there being explosions or wallrunning in the film.
That's why I'm mad
>>152710749
Holy crap, my sides
>>152718836
>GoTS
>>152708340
The names of all the cast are japanese except for Batou
The original movie is set on a japanese city
Even by anime standars, most characters look Asian
That pretty much does it for me
>>152706962
I will pirate it just like the rest of /a/
>>152707513
The whitewashing is practically a non-issue. The major doesn't look explicitly Asian, if it weren't for her name I would assume that she was Eastern European or something. The real issue is just how awful the movie looks.
At least it'll stop some normies from seeing it
No because its a dumbed down normalfag version of the anime.
And that whole whitewashing thing is bullshit, obviously its going to have white actors if its marketed towards the west. I mean the Japanese would also cast japanese should they adapt a western movie. Nothing wrong with that.
>>152709960
Then move aside and die then you uncomfortable cunt, violence is what makes you human.
>>152706962
America was a mistake

Has no one learned anything? Won't even be worth downloading.
More like honky in a shell
>>152706962
No, and anyone who does is a weak willed faggot.
>>152711586
He's the token japanese actor that gets shoe horned into every adaptation of a japanese franchise because its some one weebs are familiar with.
Why didn't they cast Ron Perlman as Batou?
>>152706962
As in pay money to see it? Hell no.
>>152707513
Major in a couple of her renditions is white though I'd of wanted her to be a nip because anime. Scarlet is a fucking terrible actor and ugly. She's a terrible choice let alone that almost every live action anime is shit. Not even arguable. Should be aborted in the womb.
i should probably give this franchise another chance. i remember watching one of the later series and it was boring as fuck but i probably just picked the wrong place to start.
>>152721599
one of the true mysteries of life
my hope is that Ron just straight up refused the offer
>>152722058
Which series? Did the Major (the one with purple hair) look fairly young and wear a red leather jacket? Because if so you picked pretty much the worst entry in the franchise until this March.
I'm gonna see it on 3D as soon as I can desu
I enjoy going to movies and even if it isn't good I'm sure it'll be fun
>>152710826
What is this from?
>>152722158
Don't forget to buy a different ticket instead
>>152722118
i don't remember. i know how to read otakuspeak now so i can probably get it right this time. just got to plow through my queue of cute girls doing cute things first.
>>152722219
That's from the sequel to the 95 film.It's kind of boring and has some really ugly CGI sequences
>>152706962
Yee
>>152709990
Is the average /a/ user so fucking stupid
>>152722229
Well when you do get around to it, I recommend the 1995 movie to start with. Even if that bores you then you should still give Standalone Complex a try.
>>152722296
me dot like u
me angry
>>152722296
Below average I would say.
>>152707513
I'm not sure if there is a lot of whitewashing since the original Major really didn't look too Asian either.
So no, "whitewashing" is a non-issue. What I'm worried about is the plot getting dumbed down and the actors being shit. Not white, just shit. But let's see.
it's hard to imagine takeshi kitano playing a wise bureaucrat with a sense of humor so they are probably going to destroy that character and make it ACTIONY LOL
i am predicting a slowmo action sequence with a bass drop at least 3 times
>>152706962
NO
Because the trailer already showed me they threw the original plot out the fucking window and will probably be nowhere close to the original.
>>15272247
Do it faget
next up: psycho piss adaptation
>>152722953
I can't wait to see the threads.
>>152722372
