If it turns out that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is in the live action remake of Akira (according to iMDB he's rumoured) I may very well explode in some sort of weird, Ghostbusters-esque crossing-the-streams-of-fandom way.

Do not be afraid if you see me break into the Stuffed Animals Song. Or, you know, be afraid if your natural reaction to creepy stalker stuffed animals and carnival music is fear. But don't be afraid of me.

And that has caused me to have a vision of what fandomsplosion would cause me to really die of complete nirvana, but it's too embarrassing to recount, considering that ponies are involved, and not as sex objects.


UNRELATEDLY, pop quiz.

Would $4/gallon gas (and the inevitable decline of profits if Congress' tax plan passes) cause oil producers eventually to shy away from the task and lead to the government having to become the oil company for America to allow us to continue to drive, or will oil producers be in it until the bitter end, whether they make money at their current (obscene) rates or not?

Ummm, a live action Akira? Hrm... Color me skeptical.

*check IMDB quick*

A TWO-part movie adaptation?!? Zoinks... I'm actually familiar with some of the director's previous work ("Fifty Percent Gray" was a decent short-form animation, but nothing spectacular), but a two-part live action adaptation seems a bit... Excessive. Hm. Guess we'll see.

Apparently it's an adaptation of the mangas, not the anime, which changes things, but I don't know.

Basically, at this point, I will believe it when I see it, and I will believe that it is likely to be good to some lower standard of belief until proven otherwise.

Oil producers? Like, gasoline companies? I ... don't know, but I know it isn't looking good.

I have a friend who keeps watch on it. He reads this website. Does that help?

I'll check the site out! I'm more curious to know whether it would be likely that oil production could be de facto nationalised in America - at this point, we need cars to get places and we need gas for lots of our energy needs, but as profits decline, will oil refineries/producers/companies be in it for the long haul?

Somehow, I doubt it. Which would be interesting, at best, particularly given the government's efficiency rate at such things.
