Good call! Read more

True, I hadn't thought of the possibility of CG additions. This has a "version one" feel to it, but maybe that's because it's just the base. Read more

Good to know. And a bit of a relief. Read more

Looks a lot like a lot of things, which is why I wonder if this is the whole visual story. We need something grabbier. Read more

Yeah, those were my major hesitations about the movie. Maybe if there was a specific reason why someone wanted to explore the Akira concepts in an American setting, but this seemed like a remake for the sake of remake. Read more

Many of these scenarios are quite pointedly skewering nursing home culture. Sometimes, reframing the scenarios into something a little more fantastical forces you to confront your own reality. Read more

I've been enjoying thumbing through it a great deal. I wish I knew someone studying chemistry right now so I could give them a copy as a gift. (I'm keeping mine.) Read more

It's even worse when there's stock footage you can keep using over and over again. Read more

That's exactly what I was thinking. Read more

That's something I would be very interested to see. Read more

I should have also added that Espenson is the co-creator of the web series husbands, which has both more feminine and more masculine gay characters: http://husbandstheseries.com/ Read more
