Akira is a Japanese comic book (or "magna," as the geeks call them), from the 80's turned into a Japanese anime movie in 1988. So there's no suspense, it tells the story of a group of telekinetic youths in a post-apocalyptic Tokyo that focuses on the powers of the title character.Andrew and I watched the movie, IN JAPANESE, Lyle Bogin's basement when we were 13 years old. It was as bad an idea as it sounds.
Anyway, I have just learned that a live-action movie is in the works, rumored to be produced and possibly staring Leonardo DiCaprio. If there is anyone out there, anyone at all besides Andrew, who finds this the least bit interesting, please tell me I'm not alone.

But, wait! Did you hear about the GI Joe movie that's already filmed, scheduled to release in summer 2009?

I am ready for Akira!!! The twins shall go to the movies alone.
GI Joe is supposed to be really good. They know it will only be popular in North America (the rest of the world had enough of US saving the day for now), so it is very much for America only, with a James Bond twist.
Transformers 2 is supposed to the best thing ever. Summer 2009.
Manga, dumbass.
(I don't even care if that was a geek test!)
(Also, there's a chance Jer & I actually own Akira on DVD. Don't tell anyone.)
