Throughout this month, we will be testing new features (like search) so you may experience some hiccups from time to time. We'll try to not be too disruptive...
@Brad:
Temple of Doom.
Not nearly as bad. And, considering that bloody movie was what invented the rating of "PG-13" it was somewhat appropriate!
@Brad:
Considering that the main love interest is Marion from Raiders of the Lost Ark, I don't see a problem with that.
But! :wassat:
The KGB head officer opposing Jones is a woman. There's got to be implications for this, no way around it. Then again, I sort of thought the same for Terminator III but those were A.I..

I wonder how people would've reacted to the original title,"Temple of Death." 
I personally find both titles to be bland. (Raiders and Last Crusade FTW.) One thing Kingdom already has over ToD is an interesting McGuffin for Indy to go after.
Not to mention no Willie is always a plus.

There'll probably be some sexual tension between Indy and Spalko but it might be more like the relationship Indy had with Belloq or Donovan: just an asshole whose after the same treasure as Indy.
EDIT: And to stay on topic–
So, when is this coming out? I heard it was supposed to come out next April but now I heard it was coming out this fall. What gives?
Needless to say I DO wanna see the movies as I'm a sucker for adventures, but I'm not willing to chuck out $40 for the movie boxset at Wal-Mart. Nor am I crazy about watching movies on my computer.
Well, there's always rental.

I've heard both, too. But FoxMovies still has it listed for next Spring, so I'm taking that as the official word for the time being.
Also, we possibly have the first teaser poster, from Japan.

Most others up until now have been obvious fakes, but this one actually looks legitimate and professional. No sure way to tell though.
If it is real, then it looks like they're re-visioning the dragonballs to have the stars all over the balls instead of in the middle.
Nope. It's just focusing on the three-star ball.
Again, it's like they didn't even fucking pay attention to details. It's the FOUR-star ball that Goku cherishes.
Japan's gonna hate us like hell for this one.
I'd say Carue was a Lucky Ducky | YouTube Page
I count 4 stars, dude.
I've never seen an Indiana Jones movie, I want to tho.
This is the sort of thing you should admit to on the internet.
Seriously, you need to rectify this situation right now.
Yes, it's the Four-star, as it should be.
In the movie, too. The early mention of it being the three-star turned out to be a misinterpretation or something, as more recent interviews with the production staff have been saying Goku's got the Four-star.
Well, as suspected, it's the real deal, and now we've got a shot of the English version, too.
Nifty. I have to wonder just WHERE exactly this thing is being displayed.
The logo looks so generic.
@Sandai:
The logo looks so generic.
It looks more "Z-ish," if you ask me. Which would make sense, seeing as how the angle of the story seems to be "Z prequel" in nature.
Otherwise, it looks the same as the Japanese one, just in English.
@Sandai:
How does it look z-ish?
It's got a more hardcore, sci-fi/action look like DBZ, rather than a more old-Eastern, fantasy-derived style like one might associate with early DragonBall.
:wassat:We're still talking about the DragonBall logo right?
@Sandai:
:wassat:We're still talking about the DragonBall logo right?
Um, yes, you mean the lettering, right? The word "DragonBall" on the poster?
Oh well what's done is done [The Movie].
FAKE
Photoshop could make a better poster in Paintshop. 
@Sandai:

It looks more like a teaser poster. It'll be some time before the full poster to promote the movie comes out.
BTW when was the release date for the movie again?
@Lobster:

Then let's see you make one.
The poster is the real deal. It's simple, yes. But it's just a teaser. It's meant to be.
(EDIT: +Ignore. I love this feature. Wish EVERY board had one…)
Then let's see you make one.
But I'm not getting paid billions of dollars, with access to hordes of minions and slaves like the producers tho'
I expect quality.
I'll attempt to pick one up as soon as I can. If a trailer comes in, i'll probably request a copy from one of the projectionists.

If you claim the poster is fake, then i doubt the person who made it got paid either…BACK UP WHAT YOU SAY!!!!

Nothing is free
If you make a poster for a Hollywood you get paid.

Join the club. Isn't it great? Won't be long before he's posting to himself.
Poster is real. The Japanese is too natural to be a standard fake by a foreigner, not to mention it sounds exactly like what they'd say about the series over here. Gotta admit, bit of fanboy in me gave a little jump when I saw it.
It's like a brand-new forum already.

Glad to see I'm not crazy. I don't know a lick of Japanese (yet) beyond recognizing the characters for Son Goku's name, but I like to think I've still got a good eye for telling what's "natural-looking" and what's just jibberish (at least the more obvious ones). Good to know I wasn't wrong in this case.
I like how people use the ignore button but yet every time you see that person make a post you still click the link to see what he says =P
Don't lie everyone does it raises fist

Okay, I admit it. But I'm getting there. Eventually, my mind will block out the "View Post" button altogether.
As for the topic at hand, despite some confusion for a bit, the posters are indeed real, as there's new pictures of them popping up, though apparently both versions have only been sighted in Japanese theaters so far.
http://www.dragonballmovieblog.net/2008/04/christina-inman-says-posters-not-official/
I work at a theater here in Jersey, so I'll keep an eye out for them when they start popping up around these parts. Might even get to keep one…
Yep, I do the exact same thing. Which I why I ultimately don't use the ignore feature, the entire point is you're not suppose to see the person has posted. Yet you still see a message telling you they did.
That's not ignoring.

I was actually at my theatre last night, talking to one of my managers about the posters we had just gotten, Dark Knight ones, Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants 2, and I asked if we had anymore, but we didn't. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for some Dragonball posters. We might see a poster for it next week when 20th Century Fox releases "What Happens In Vegas", but I somehow doubt it. We'll probably at least see a poster for it by the time "The Happening" is released.
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants… 2?

Since it was a big step for me to ignore someone since I actually have a strict policy NOT to ignore anyone no matter how much of a dumbass or jackass they are, (a testament to LPS's extraordinary feats) I make it a point not to view LPS's posts in any way I can help. In fact, it breaks my heart everytime someone quotes LPS's posts and I have to read the words, burning like a fiery prod into the very core of my penis.
That… can't be pleasant at all.
Well I'm certainly glad that my words are powerful enough to contain such deep underlying messages.
Definitely not for the weak of heart . Back to Dragon Ball
Stated by Eiichiro Oda about fan-mail
" A lot of People send some incredibly stupid crap"
Oh, God no…........
I was wondering if we'd see Ki blasts and Kamehameha's. Guess that's a big "YES". And just look at that hair, looks like the spikes on a dinosaur's back.
.......it looks AWWWWWWRIIIGHT.

I can't tell if you're pleased or displeased… the "Oh, God no" is kinda throwing me off.
Anyway, I like it. Biggest point is yeah, we finally get a good shot of the hair, and it looks far more Goku-like than we've previously seen. Plus ki blasts, and we've got us a winner.
Since we knew he was fighting Piccolo, I think ki blasts were inevitable.
Not that the picture above is showing us what it will look like. That glowing ball in his hands could just be a cheap add in for the magazine, much like the lightening bolts around the left side of the page.
@Article:
One time his character is getting shot at by another character, power blasts, and he ducks and it blows up the rock behind him. So they got set up to blow it up and JM asked, said the quicker he stands up the cooler it will be. So he ducks, they blow it up, he stands up right away when there’s still chunks flying. The camera people, taken somewhat by surprise, leap to do their jobs. One person gets hit by something, and JM still feels guilty about that. (Be asks who was running stunts and how is it possible an actor can mess up the timing/safety issues?) (… what country were they filming in?) But JM’s logic is his character isn’t bothered by some rock blowing up. He only has to dodge his enemies’ blasts. Rock isn’t a problem for the supervillain.

Why the hell did they bother putting a random-ass kanji on his shirt?
I don't know what I have to say.The only word that crossed my mind is "SUCKAGE!"

All I have to go by is BabelFish, but that apparently means "luck."
I agree it's kinda random, but, well… who says it has to have anything to do with the Kame school? Those are his civvies, after all. Seems like something a random t-shirt might say on it. Having it in Japanese is understandable, since they do seem to be catering to the Japanese audiences a bit more.
Then again, what do the other ones say? Are they DB-related?
It does look like the outfit the stunt double was wearing in that pic we got. But in that one the outfit had the Kame school symbol just like in the series. Now in this we got this, this is promotion so maybe it was behind? I'd believe what we saw the stunt double wearing, which is alright.
Also, when you look at the side by sides of the characters and actors at the bottom, aside from Goku/Chatwin, they DO look like their characters.

Don't use Babel… I find this to be more helpful.
Anyways…. what the f?

Eh, I know, I wouldn't use BabelFish for anything more than a single word. Thanks anyhoo.

No it's not, Mr. stunt double's outfit was actually a martial arts uniform; Chatwin in this picture's just wearing what looks like a regular shirt with the sleeves rolled up. Take a closer look:

They're all the same kanji over and over. It looks retarded to anyone that can read it.
My question is, why did they do that full-well knowing it would be unleashed in a country that can….uh.....READ Japanese -_-
Anyway, I'm not ripping on the film so much as I am the designers that pull this crap because it looks 'cool' without thinking about whether or not it makes any damn sense.
Now that I've accepted that this won't be anything like the manga, I think the scan looks pretty cool.
The kanji on his shirt could say "I'm a pretty girl" but if the fight scenes look cool, who cares. The ki looks pretty cool.
We need a trailer.

How about if it said, "I'm a pretty girl", in English?
