Dragon Ball Movie

Dragonball the movie
more Dragonball movie news. the actor playing Goku is Justin Chatwin. Justin played as a ghost of a comatosed boy Nick Powell in the 2007 movie The Invisible. Personally I think he’s a bit to young to play as Goku. on the other hand it might be better to have someone the target audience can relate to I guess. ^^

Just something I wish I could buy… a pair of Gundam slippers. ^^ imagine walking around the house and down the stairs with clanking gundam steps while keeping your feet warm and cozy inside these.

Thor the Movie

Thor hammer
Didn’t Know that there was a Thor movie coming up next year. they haven’t announced who will be acting as the god of thunder yet but what is confirmed is that Matthew “Stardust” Vaughn will be sitting on the director’s chair for this movie.
If I were to pick out actors from the top of my head to play the god of thunder, my top three in no particular order would be:
Brad Pitt in Troy
Brad Pitt, since he already played a demigod as Achileus in the movie Troy. Brad pitt seem to fit right in as the norse god Thor.
Karl Urban Eomer
Karl Urban who played Éomer on Lord of the Rings, he may not have that superstar quality like Brad Pitt but he certainly looks the part.
Triple H
Paul Michael Levesque aka Triple H, this wrestling superstar may not have enough experience to play as a movie lead. but he has the built to play as Thor. only problem is that a hammer might looks tiny in his hands. ^^;

Oh btw, heard that Iron Man Robert Downey Jr. will have a cameo on the upcoming Incredible Hulk movie.

Lukas’ Strike E Gundam

Just a little progress report on the Lukas’ Strike E. done with the gundam itself, all it needs now are the IWSP weapon system, decals and a little touch up on the sprues.

and yes that’s a mac mini beside it. decided that I was tired of burning movies to dvd’s to watch it so I wanted to hook up a computer to my LCD TV. however since space on the table was at a premium, thought the Mini was perfect for the job.
