I wanna see the entire movie. The wait is killing me. It has to be 10x better than the current Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within.

Agreed. I'll settle for nothing less then an IMAX or digital theater as well.

Their site continues to annoy me, with spinning menus that force me to follow with my mouse. Damnation!

"Bishonen (???, literally, "beautiful boy") is a specific Japanese aesthetic concept of the ideally beautiful young man. The prefix bi- (?) specifically refers to feminine beauty (bijin, lit. "beautiful person", refers to a beautiful woman.) The bishonen is typically quite slender and not very muscular, with a tapered chin, stylish hair, and an overall effeminate or androgynous appearance. The aesthetic of the bishonen began as an ideal of a young homosexual lover, likely arising from the effeminate male actors who played female characters in Kabuki theater. It is perpetuated today in anime and manga, especially shojo (girl) anime, shonen-ai, and yaoi. Most okama and homosexual characters in anime are also often categorized as bishonen.

Some western anime and manga fans use the term (incorrectly) to refer to any handsome male character regardless of age, and some fans prefer to use the more all-encompassing bishie (which may be equivalent to bijin, although that term is not popular). It is occasionally used to describe some androgynous female characters (such as Lady Oscar in Rose of Versailles, Karou no Kimi and Hana no Saint Juste in Oniisama E), or any women with traits stereotypical to bishounen. The portmanteau bifauxnen is sometimes used to refer to "female bishounen".

Alternative spellings are bishonen and bishounen. The term binanshi was popular in the 1980s. Occasionally biseinen (lit. "beautiful young man") is seen as a synonym, but biseinen usually refers to a handsome man older than a bishounen, since the age range of a bishounen tends to be from 14-19, while a biseinen is often 20+. A handsome male below 14 is sometimes referred to as a bishota, although that is usually equated with a slight underage fetish."

And why do we idealize homosexual kabuki people?

WTF is wrong with these game sites as well as many movie promo sites showing two options for wallpapers

1024 768
and
800 600

seriously who's still using 800x600? at least give me some 1280 or some widesceen versions. 1600x1200 is NOT that large and is a pretty common resolution these days

Man, I heard it was supposed to have a March release all the way back when.

At least September isn't TOO far off.

 

[MoPHo]

I really hope it's originally in Japanese so there can be a REALLY bad dubbed version.

Man, I think I could wait until the sun collapses to see that movie in full. The second trailer was amazing, watching weapon (if I remember the monster's name) in full action like that was stunning. Though, I did find it interesting that they're combining the gun-sword used in FF-8, in this movie it seems.

Oh, and is there a direct download to the trailers anywhere?
