Actually, an Usagi motion picture could be in CG - it's a convenient technique, after all - but why not use cel-shaded animation ?

Cel-shading can provide very original and aesthetically pleasant images and animations, could be something close to ukiyo-e or ink-and-wash painting.

Think for example of this beautiful video game that was released recently, Ôkami.

Well, the next Batman movie looks like it won't be so bad... though I don't know if the actor they chose for The Joker will be the right one. I was thinking of Mark Hammill, since he did great voicing The Joker in Batman: the animated series.

An Usagi Yojimbo movie? Sounds good, but dunno... I don't know if I would like who it would come out. Traditional animation or CGI? Both of them are better than live action, though. :P

I would be happy if he stopped making movies. xD

Why not make Usagi an anime?

*please don't hurt me...I'm a sucker for anime*

I just think it would be funny, and I draw him as an animeversion myself...

I can just draw anime, but when I draw him, he looks so darn cute!!

Man!!

Usagi: Kairi... -_-"

Kairi:*giggles* I've always wanted to say that. ^_^

Hello Ya'll,

I haven't seen a lot of the new stuff. But I have seen these:

Spider-man - I liked it.
Spider-man 2 - I liked it a lot (probably my favorite at this time)
X-Men - I liked it a lot.
X-Men 2 - I liked it a lot.
Sin City - Enjoyable, but the dialog is more entertaining in print (I found it more cheesy - I know it's film noir)
Batman - I liked it
Batman returns - I liked it a lot (danny and michelle - great cast)
Hulk - was so bad it was funny. I want to rent it to make fun of the dialog.
The Punisher (1989) - was okay.
Superman: The movie - really good (I love the ending)
Superman II: I liked it (I was 10 at the time)
Superman III: I don't remember this movie except for Richard Pryor acting scared and likable.
The Maxx - was cool looking, didn't get the story (which was true of the comic book for me)
Ghost World - A little creepy (never read the book)
Mystery Men - Made me laugh a lot (never read the book)
Men in Black - I liked it (never read the book)
The Shadow - I liked it
Timecop - I liked it (never read the book)
Creepshow - I liked it a lot (especially the scene with Steven King)
The Rocketeer - I enjoyed it a lot

I want to see:

V For Vendetta
Hellboy
Batman Begins
From Hell
Superman Returns
American Splendor
A History of Violence
Bulletproof Monk

Curious about:

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen - I liked the comic, but heard the woman hero is nothing like the book (who was the best part of the mini-series in my opinion)
Swamp Thing - I'm sure it's cheesy, but that might be charming.
Conan movies - I can't believe he is still my governor.

Peace, maka
