Cowboy Bebop: Film Adaptation

So one of my favorite anime is being adapted to film by Fox.

How can they make something like this translate to film:



Oh and did I mention it will have Keanu Reeves as the main role. NOOOOOOO!

Lend Me Your Dream

They are great sci-fi flicks and encourage discussion.

Twinkle Twinkle Lucky Star

This is a "2 min. film" for Mercedez.

Voiceover by Brad Pitt, starring Benicio Del Toro, directed by Michael Mann.

It mystifies and makes you want to know more about the main character.

Live Long and Prosper

Beam me up.

Stardate: Now

I have a passion for science fiction.
Rod Sterling said, "Science fiction is the improbable made possible."

You see improbable is not impossible.
It's just not likely to happen right now, but tomorrow, who knows.
Space travel, strange new worlds, alien species, unknown math, and theories.

My imagination relishes the surroundings described.
Yet, I don't have to identify with the environment.
Science fiction allows me to focus on a character.

There are many aspects to a story.
I most enjoy seeing a character grow or change.
In other words I love seeing a character be human.

All this to say I will focus on the science fiction theme for a week.
Six posts (Sunday off) relating to my favorite genre.
I hope you come and stay awhile.

People Moving to the Moon

This song, "Silent Sigh" is by Badly Drawn Boy.
It's on the "About a Boy" movie soundtrack.



The lyrics are amazing.
I linked to a static image with audio
because I don't like the music video too much.

Thoughts: smooth, love, feel, bittersweet, hope.
