Unlike so many of my fellow geeks, I'm not a huge Akira fan. (It kinda freaked me out when I was younger. Maybe I would like it more now that I'm older, but I digress.) But this article asks some pretty damning questions about the live action remake. The most important one to me is #4: "Why did you think a race change was even necessary?"

This reeks of "Here we go again!"

    • to this I respond - - -CONAN has blue eyes,.....and I think they ARE necessary to the character. All I can say is that HOLLYWOOD industry does not really care about CHARACTER,...PLOT,...GENRE,.....all inspiration is profit based, and the mercenary suits don't like to gamble,....or reduce profits for any FEATURE.

      pun intended

      ( The "BLUE EYE CONAN" post is on it way, by the way )

      Yeah, I know the profit-heads don't care. I would just like some variety in speculative fiction. I'm so sick of this stuff. Not only is it insulting, it's also quite boring. *yawn*
