First of all, I would like to touch on some recent casting news. Justin Chatwin, the brother who should have died but didn't in War of the Worlds, and James Marsters, Spike from Buffy and Angel, will both be acting in the Dragonball movie as "Goku" and "Piccolo" respectively. Now, my brother LOVED Dragonball Z and, in the later years of Middle school, I had watched many an episode with him. It is utterly embarrassing to reveal this, but whatever - I wasn't obsessed, I'm just familiar with it. Honestly, I think it's more embarrassing for these guys. Really? A live-action Dragonball movie? I can't see it happening, especially with those hairdos. You can't even say the plot line of the show without sniggering. And the fan boys, oh the fan boys. I went to college with a guy who wore a Dragonball silk button down shirt. I cannot wait to see the trailers: "He had to save the world using seven dragon balls to make a wish to stop the bad guys to save the world." It'll look ridiculous. I read in the casting thing that Spike will be playing a character named "Piccolo." The names familiar (see above) so I did a google search to find a picture.
I am laughing out loud. But Marsters was effing awesome in Buffy, so who knows? Either way I'm not going to see it, but I have to admit, I am mighty curious. I can give you three guesses what we'll see at Comic-con next year.
