Bebop movie

...but by "wider" I mean that I predict that they'll make a few dozen prints which will tour the country, as opposed to just the 13 prints they did for Metropolis.

Oh, pardon me, Studying the Box Office Mojo stats closely, I noticed that the number of screens the film was playing at this past weekend (13) was down by 3 from the previous weekend (for which boxofficemojo.com was unable to give a complete list for whatever reason). So the total number of prints for Metropolis would appear to be at least 16.

I could have just edited my previous post, but this pushes the number of my posts to an even 100! Three digits baby! Even more than GATSU has! Second only to Tempest, actually.

Whoo hoo! This brings the number of posts I have up to a grand total of "who the hell cares!". My "people think im a dork" quotient has raised by a full 7%!

Tenchi do you have penis envy?

Your meaningless nitpicky comments in no way emulate the structure and insight of most of GATSU's well formed opinions (besides his answerman comments which are entertaining, anyway). Of course its pretty entertaining to watch you struggle for some way to one-up anyone who posts at all.

Actually, you often have coherent thought, too.. but when someone appears to be confused over something (like the meaning of widescreen), you overcomplicate your explanation to them with meaningless (at least to them) technical jargon when you could just explain it in a way they'd understand (black bars at the top and bottom of your TV ^^).

Well, "widescreen" has more than just one use; it could just mean "letterbox" (the black bars), but it can also refer to the aspect ratio of the screen itself, in which case there are not always the black bars if you're watching on a widescreen set. And if I know the proper industry term for the ratio of the standard 1.33:1 TV screen ("Academy Ratio"), why the hell can't I use it, especially considering I fully explained what it was in my reply? I think my explanation of "widescreen" was perfectly clear.

And 'penis' is pretty benign, I don't see why it shouldn't be allowed/should be filtered. ^^

You never know, some places have ridiculous obscenity filters... Bandai's old AnimeVillage.com message board wouldn't let you write any words with the letters "S" "H" "I" and "T" consecutively, in that order, which made it difficult to write certain common Japanese names like former Prime Minister Takeshita for example. And the Guestbook at the official Tom Green website won't let you write any words with the letters "C" "U" and "M" in that order, which makes it impossible to write the word "documentary", as I tried to do, seeing it asterixed a couple of times before I figured out what was happening.

I thought "Cowboy Beebop" was already made into a movie last November, like "Akira" in September.
