Anime In America! Some Cool Cartoons for the BIG SCREEN!

I was wondering when Hollywood was going to start buying the rights to anime! Films like Akira and Ghost In The Shell made my teen years fun and were truly groundbreaking. I LOVE the fact that the short stylish flick called Blood: The Last Vampire actually got picked up by the producer of Crouching Tiger & Hero. This means that this version of Blood should be full of wire tricks (I'm not too fond of) and martial arts (which I love!!!!).

We will see how Spielberg's version of Ghost In The Shell goes and if Leonardo Dicaprio's Akira holds true to the story and fan base. However, I am sure that Blood should please the novice as well as the expert anime lover.

Peace.

We didn't make the shortlist...

We did not make the shortlist for the voting competition half of Babelgum. They picked the top 40 who had the numbers/votes. For the rest of 610 entries (including myself) that did not make it there is still the "Looking for Genius" Award. That winner will be announced in NYC on April 27th. To all the other contestants I want to wish them GOOD LUCK and much SUCCESS... You never know.

An old friend of mine has on her website "Sorrow looks down, worry looks around, FAITH looks up!"

Keep the FAITH my friends.
