Dear Hollywood, You Have Gone Too Far
Dear Hollywood,
I have a bone to pick with you. First, you ruin all the classics. After destroying all my memories of these wonderful movies, you rip through the foreign section. If that isn’t enough, you defile horror films. This time you have gone to far. I can barely say it without a near panic attack. You are now wrecking havoc in the manga/anime department. WTH is wrong with you?! How could you do this to me?
I guess you got cocky that the typical American moviegoer doesn’t like subtitles, black and whites, or tasteful blood and gore. You decide to take anime and rip it to shreds. Why?! What did anime ever do to you?
“Ghost in the Shell,” “Avatar,” “Ninja Scroll,” “Akira,” and the list keeps growing and going. I read on iMDB that James Cameron is saying that he thought of this ten years before the anime series came out. My ass. Spielberg, who is rumored to be remaking “Ghost in the Shell,” is probably going to put a stick figure with no exotic bone in her body to play the Major. Leonardo, I love you, but Akira and Ninja Scroll? How could you?
Leave the movie versions of anime/mangas to the Japanese. They know how to do it right because they are the ones that usually create the originals. I am so distraught over this slap in the face. What’s worse is that you are probably going to dumb down the movie so the inner meaning gets lost. Yes, don’t try to deny it. You do that. I can name 20 movies that you have lowered the IQ of.
I am telling you now. You already took “Ghost in the Shell” away from me, but if you dare touch “Blood Plus,” “Neon Genesis Evangelion,” “Hellsing,” or “Wolf’s Rain,” I will have to wreak some vengeance on you, original OldBoy style (not the Will Smith remake coming our way).
