Dragonball Live-Action Cast

Okay, I've made up my mind. I'm so skipping this Hollywood-adaptation of Dragonball. Anyway, here's a first look at the cast of the Dragonball movie. What the heck did they make Goku wear? At least, Master Roshi is in his "right" clothes.

Chun-Li

Here's a first look at Kristin Kreuk as Street Fighter's Chun-Li.

Where's her signature pork-bun hairstyle? What about her massive thighs? Those heavy-looking spiked bracelets?? WTH did they do to you, Chun-Li?!

Prince of Persia Update

So I'm not too sure what to make of this. Jake Gyllenhaal (of the Brokeback Mountain fame) along with Gemma Arterton (Quantum of Solace) is set to play the lead parts (Prince and Princess respectively) in the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time movie.

Gyllenhaal - I so don't know how to pronounce his name - will play Dastan, a 6th-century Persian prince. He has to join forces with the feisty Princess Tamina (Arterton) in order to save the world from an evil nobleman who is out to get his hands on the Sands of Time. The Sands of Time is kinda like a time machine: it allows the wielder to reverse time and in effect, he can rule the world.

Or something to that effect.

I've never really played the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time game, so I don't know how the game's storyline goes. But I've heard that the movie's plot was kinda changed a bit, names included. Can anyone confirm this?

The movie's set to be released by next summer, June 19, 2009.

Pre-Order!!

Hooo... I'm back after a long vacation. And for the first time in my life, I've pre-ordered something:

Well, at the very least, I know Jeff pre-ordered me a Hayase made by GSC. (And I haven't been able to ask him about it yet *picks cellphone up*.) Anyway, I'm pretty excited to get my Hayase. She's my favorite character in Kimi ga Nozomu Eien. She'll be released on September, so if you want to pre-order her too, you can try here.

Anyhoo, there are quite a number of figures from GSC that caught my eye. Sadly, I'm broke these days. (My new puppy, Piper, spends all my money.) Here are some of the nice figures you might be interested in:
