Escaflowne & Metropolis Hit US Big Screens Friday

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the stuff-to-see dept.

darketernal writes "Escaflowne is appearing in theaters nationwide on the 25th, depending on your location. Rated PG-13. Here is a Yahoo! Review." If you've seen Escaflowne in japanese, you probably know that its a pretty cool show, and while its not one of my all time favorites, if the big screen release gets anywhere near me, I'll be there. Perhaps even bigger news is that the mega anime film hit Metropolis is being release at the same time.

    Well I do not know the show/movie, yet I am a poser fan of japanese modern animated art.

    As a linux user I went to the multimedia section to see some teasers. Hmmm... wonder if windows media works with linux? click...

    " Setup detected that you are running:Solaris It is recommended that you download:

    Windows Media Player 6.3 Total Size:

    Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01f4'

    Variable is undefined: 'L_size12_Text'

    /download/download.asp, line 560"

    Nope.. sorry, not using Solaris, whaddya stupid? Oh.. Hey.. MS, hows that VBScript treating ya?

    Yeah, really sucks. I've heard the english Dilandau sounds more whiny than psychotic.

    Interesting side note, after having had it mentioned that Minami-san was the singer for the japanese dance group "Two-Mix" I now have images of a derranged boy singing to the songs...

    Oh, for Christ's sake, that's not the real Metropolis. This is the real Metropolis.

    <sigh> All you young pups, just wanting your talkies, their 3 FPS scantily-clad cartoon characters with their monolithic teeth.

    I know exactly what you mean. Just the other day, I purchased the StarBallz movie when I was trying to buy Star Wars. Boy were my kids surprised!
