I know that the real damascus blacksmith techniques are lost forever.

However, all that things called "damascus" nowadays are a recreation of it - not perfectly precise though, but still. I think, we can call it "damascus", because there is no real damascus anymore - only in the museums.

I don't ...

The only illustration I found was this one: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/07/Cheshire_Cat_Tenniel.jpg

So, forget it and check the image here.

Putting a 50k image on a file server that has 4 minute download delay for such a small file PLUS requires typing in a captcha... Cruel.



As for the purpose of the image...

There is always the hope that God will listen to Int 29Ah and make Cameron give up.
Right... Like he let others take over Terminator.

So we got Mostow's Rise of the Machines, and now its taken over by a... something... that makes music videos and movies like Charlie's Angels and calls itself McG ...

There is a review of L.O. Volume 10 at AICN.

Haha! We all saw THAT first.

So, its a friend of mine's birthday soon, and as she is a Alita fan too (and as my spy assistant informs me - does not have any Last Order volumes) - I thought of getting her the first four volumes.

Its a bargain on amazon. Most Last Order volumes are 4-for-3 deal.
So, I type in B... and amazon now ...

Actually, they started shipping them this Friday (05.12.08.) - that is when I got the e-mail that my pre-order finally got shipped.
I just kinda forgot to write it here.

Link.

Volume 11 is still listed as being released on April 14th.

Does anybody have a japanese friend who's willing to translate? :D

It would have to be a VERY GOOD FRIEND.

Its a book. Not a manga.
200 pages of just text with only a couple of illustrations.


Know a fan who studies Japanese language and literature at the university? Might make a good Masters ...

99% of characters are cyborgs.


I must disagree here.
Let's see: Daisuke, Hugo, Shumira, Kaos, Nova e Koyomi.
I am quoting by memory, so I'm probably forgetting someone.
Zapan, Gonzu and Alita herself are cyborgs, but they have specific faces.

In short, the problem remains.
Sorry, again... was ...

Actually, V for Vendetta is already a perfect storyboard (as it happened with 300 and Sin City ), but the cynical brothers believed themselves to be more creative than the original creator. The result was profanation, not art.

Not really...

Hey, denzacar, my question was serious: who is Richard Kelly?
Sorry.. I wasn't here for a while.

The "Donnie Darko" director.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0446819/

So naturally, when it was announced that he is making another movie like THAT everyone was excited.
Until Southland Tales came out ...

In my opinion, it JUST doesn't have to be made. (Why - read previous pages.)
It WILL be made. Sooner or later, it will be made.
Now... If I had to choose between current "brand name" directors - I think I'd still stay with Cameron.

If nothing else - then for the Dark Angel. Which was obviously ...

Ok they've arrived and I am really pleased with them. Does anyone know how to get good pictures of the extra pages without creasing the spine?

Nearly impossible.

Even things like this require you to fully open the pages you are scanning.

The Manga, both series and the last film are from the same author. The first two films are based on the universum build in the manga and very good. These films reflect very good the man - cyborg - machine problematic. The series are more good action series about ...

Hito for 1 yen at Japanese amazon right now.
Anyone interested to buy and scan it?
One slight problem.

While Amazon.jp does deliver around the world (even if they do rip you off for postage - 3700 Yen to ship a manga to Europe) - most of its marketplace sellers don't.

None of those listed ...

Cute, but pointless.
