Escaflowne & Metropolis Hit US Big Screens Friday

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.

  1. UNITED STATES ATTACKED -- PLEASE READ by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Breaking News -- Terrorists have attacked the United States.

    Once again, middle-eastern terrorists from Osama bin Ladens' Al Qaeda terrorist network have attacked The United States of America. The attack of September 11, 2001 pales in comparison to this highly coordinated, massive attack.

    The White House, the Capitol Building, and the United Nations building are smoldering in ruins after being attacked by truck bombs and hijacked commercial airliners. Thousands of government officials are presumed dead while rescue efforts are being hindered by intense heat and smoke.

    There are reports of further attacks in Atlanta, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, New York, Seattle, and Miami.

    * Unconfirmed: Rumors are surfacing that the heart of Los Angeles was attacked using multiple 10-ton ammonium nitrate truck bombs detonated in multiple locations.

    * Confirmed: Large portion of downtown Chicago sprayed with anthrax via multiple cropduster aircraft. Sadly, the terrorists operating the cropdusters were able to disseminate almost their entire arsenals of anthrax before being shot down by US military F-16's. In this first ever wide-spread biological attack, millions of innocent men, women and children were exterminated like insects.

    * Confirmed: Nuclear explosion in New York City. A rental truck carrying an unidentified type of nuclear weapon was detonated in New York City early this morning. Details are sketchy, but US Government officials are saying the blast was somewhere in the magnitude of 15 megatons.

    President Bush and Vice President Cheney are believed dead in the White House destruction.

    Nuclear strikes have been launched by the United States military against Phillipines, Iraq, Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, and Somolia. All of these countries have been hit by at least five Titan II ICBM's and one 100-kiloton thermonuclear warhead; millions are believed to be dead.

    Martial law has been declared across the entire US in an attempt to try and control the wide-scale looting in major US cities. High ranking military commanders have assumed control of the military retaliation, as the President and Vice President are presumed dead.

    Government officials who weren't killed in the attacks are now attempting to keep control the chaotic country from the bunkers under the White House. The US Government is broadcasting nationwide television and radio announcements to inform the public of the status of the country.

    I suggest you all stop what you are doing and spend some time with your families, because quite frankly, World War 3 is upon us.

    More details to come.

  4. Anime is dead. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll



    The recent results from Netcraft confirm that anime is dying.

    Just two weeks ago, anime creator Lik Mi Poo said he was getting out of the business because of a lack of revenue.

    Anime is dead.

    This question doesn't belong in this discussion. It seems more suited for an Ask Slashdot, since most of the community is experienced in equine fellatio. Give your question the exposure it deserves.

    Idiot.

    The only companies that release anime and are associated with the MPAA are:

    Columbia/Tristar and Manga Video.

    So if you buy a dvd from one of them, you must make a contribution to the EFF.

    Otherwise, you can enjoy Kenshin, Evangelion, and many other series without having to make a donation to the EFF/ACLU/other-freedom-fighting-organization-of-yo ur-choice.
