Dragonball movie trailer; "Most Fanfic Writers Are Girls"; finger-having PowerPuff Girls
Thanks, yet again, to Dice for feeding me fandom information.
The Dragonball: Evolution movie trailer.
We had a squee fest last night, thinking back on the series. We forgot several names and certain plot points were marred by fanfiction events on my part, possibly, but for the most part we love the series (more so DBZ than the other two) and are afraid for the movie. But, like I said, I'm going to be POSITIVE, even though Piccolo is strange looking, Goku doesn't look like Goku at all, they're young, and the girl with the pony really is Bulma and not Chi-Chi (because she would make a great Chi-Chi) and there is NO KRILLIN. WHY? I don't know why KRILLIN IS MISSING IN THIS!!!!!!
One thing I can squee about without a doubt is Roshi. I was just thinking of Chow Yun Fat in a Hawaiian shirt, old and rauncy, crouching around being cooky is amazing.
DBZ was the anime that got me into anime, despite its several tedious, drawn-out plots. Also, Future Trunks rocks. Period. I loved him, crushed on him, felt awful for him. Dice tells me there are a few essays on how much Vegeta is disappointed in his Trunks for never reaching Future Trunks' potential, which isn't really fair as they were raised in two different enviorments. Future Trunks is almost always mixed in with Linkin Park songs. I still love them.

He also read me bits of this article I supposedly sent him a while ago. It pokes at fanfics in general, mostly its writers...who are "mostly all girls".
He assures me it's the kind of funny that's irritating because it's true. I haven't read it yet and probably won't for a while because I've filled my ranting quota on fanfics for a whole week already.
Most Fanfic Writers Are Girls.

He told me about a Cartoon Network RPG, Fusion Fall. The only part of this I was really interested in was the fact that several characters are in it...grown up. Teenagers.
Dexter.
I remember that show. I also remember seeing him in a movie with several versions of himself at different ages, and his semi-teen self was lanky and weak. However, Dice assured me that this Dex was kind of cool looking, for the split second you see him.
The Power Puff Girls were there too, around the age of 14-ish, which lessened the freak factor somewhat. I've read stories.... Anyway, the only thing that is odd about this is they have fingers this time. He thinks. I didn't see them. That is so weird.
The Ed's are in it too, but I only saw a chibi of one of them.
Revamps are cool, though, but I don't think I'll be into games for a while. I used to but that made my thumbs sore, and I never could get into the computer ones. Except maybe Tomb Raider.
