...I can just imagine Joe Pesci saying he likes Baccano. 
Anyway, I think that Megan Fox once said that she used to watch anime on Adult Swim. Too lazy to google up the interview... |

How is this quote condescending? I ask because I'm genuinely curious. I don't see what's wrong with it. I was in Tokyo in June and there were a bunch of gas stations with Leonardo DiCaprio banners. I think he was advertising tires. =P |

spoony: I'd get into how, but Keonyn would ban me. So just put two and two together using the ANN article.

Leo's professed interest in anime isn't a surprise (I remember a similar article about the matter on this site a year or so ago), but the other random tidbit about Pitt & Jolie's kids enjoying the Ghibli films is sweet.

Wow, we're still getting people complaining that "Interest" articles aren't news? Well, may I say, duh?
I think ANN is giving too much credit to a portion of its readers. The "Interest" icon should really say something like "NOT NEWS" so people will stop making themselves look stupid time and time again. As for the content, yay, Jolie is a fan of mainstream animated family films! [/sarcasm] Oh well, I liked Salt, so more power to her. |

my ass, just because they saw a ghibli film doesnt mean your an anime fan. besides miyazaki in my opinion I dont consider Miyazaki films to be part of the Fandom when it is taken to a very mainstream level. Besides theres idiot parents out there that call his films "disney films" and have no idea is an animation genre of japanese origin.

I happen to have ANN on an RSS feed for all articles, so i can't tell whether this is under interest or news, and there's no indication of what kind of post this is on the article.
On topic: I'm still waiting for that celebrity to mention a title that's a bit less main stream. Didn't you hear? Soulja boy likes vegetaman |

You know, I could TOTALLY see Inception being developed into an anime.
There's such a rich well of stories there. Plus, even though the movie had great CG and special effects, animation would completely expand the dreamscapes in ways that live action CG couldn't match. Yeah, it has the potential to crash and burn, but if it had a team of great writers, it could be great. |

There are actually multiple RSS feeds now, so you can divide them up if you like. If you go here there is a list and link to all the available feeds. Under "Newsroom" if you simply select the "News" feed then articles like this one will be omitted. Of course, often times the articles title will make the kind of content obvious anyways. |

I don't get it. Why are people frakking moaning so much?
Last I checked, it's the reporters and editors on this site who have the authority to post what goes where - not us peons. And last I checked (more like....from past experience), any and all posts must first go through the editor-in-chief - that'd be Zac - for them to end up on the front page. So, isn't it just a wee bit safe to assume - just a tiny bit - that if something's on the front page...there's a good reason it's there...? |

Separate works, separate titles, separate canons. I can approve of such a use of inspiration. Nolan was able to benefit from the creative devices Paprika without "annexing" his product to it: there is no risk of the general public coming to associate the earlier film with the later, and hence no risk of common preconceptions of one work deriving from common reception of the other. In virtue of the fact this is not true of other projects mentioned in this article, I cannot speak of them in a similarly approving manner. Nonetheless, I acknowledge that many do not share my disapproval. |

Nice to see a article. I remember on other anime forum like myanimelist we would talk about celebrities (non-Japanese one, since anime and manga are mainstream over there) who are anime fan. Here's a interesting pic of celebs who are anime fan:
source: http://slumz.boxden.com/f429/famous-people-who-like-anime-1318621/ Also, did you know Megan Fox like anime? I'm not lying I was shocked that Megan said this and she said that on Seventeen/Cosmogirlmagazine.
We don't know other celebrities who are anime fan. It could be someone who doesn't even look like a nerd. |

It usually sounds like pandering to me when all you hear someone mention are some of the most popular things one would associate with something.
Who knows though, maybe Leo really does like anime and wants those upcoming projects to be successful because of the anime part (as opposed to the money part). Also, liking Ghilbi films does NOT mean you like anime in my opinion. Again, it means you like something that is widely known. You could just be a fan of cartoons and so happens you saw a popular anime. When someone involved with these anime projects mentions something that takes more than a quick google search to know about then I will believe they are decent enough anime fans. |

Interesting. I've seen Inception twice now, and as much as I like the movie, it could have used a bit of Paprika-esque "randomness", if only in the backgrounds. Dreams in this movie were practically Real Life, with a little fuss with gravity. Not that I expected to see ninja bartenders, hallways engulfed in flame that never collapse, or supermarkets where you change size depending on which aisle you're in... but even a buttoned-down businessman might be expected to have the odd bit of tasteful whimsy wandering through his subconscious. I got my hopes up when Paris folded over on itself and the train slammed through traffic in the television ads, but that was about it. Oh, and spoiler[Eames being able to "forge" other characters]. That was a plus. I enjoyed Inception, and I'll be pre-ordering the DVD. But when I saw Mike Eisenberg's mashup of the Inception and Toy Story 3 trailers... oooooh yes. I didn't expect Inception to be as riotous as Paprika, but a measure of that surreal goodness would have given Nolan's movie the dreamlike aspect I had anticipated. |
