If I were less of a good person I would currently be hoping that someone makes a “mistake” to you quite soon. And hopefully for longer than 20 minutes.

So your response is to assume he’s straight and then present having sexual intercourse with his presumed partner as “revenge”? Were you going to ask her opinion?

You’re totally right. I think they should also spray pesticide while flying over the crowds. If you’re not a pussy you can totally deal with that too. And maybe napalm? Only pussies aren’t resistant to jellied gasoline. Hell, drop a MOAB; people would really love to see those fireworks go off, and only pussies will…

And that’s why everyone hates us.

See the videos further up the thread for why the casting might be key to the movie actually existing.

Do you know that the word “adaptation” means?

They case ScarJo as Kusanagi. “...shitting on it and disrespecting it...” seems a bit extreme. Or have you seen the movie already?

Who the hell are Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee?

Wait, you mean you want them to stay away from the actual, original, source material?

So that’s why Briareos!!!

So what if they choose an unknown Japanese actress and it tanks because nobody knows and her and (gasp), she’s not actually any good?

You do realise that, if they make a good movie in which ScarJo plays a flawed but kick-ass cybernetic government agent who uses believably-rendered robots to fight the forces of evil, all while being decently directed, it will likely be very successful and might increase awareness of GitS in other forms/media.

It was actually a few miles from the Polish coast, by request of Poland, and with a Polish helicopter hovering over its fantail. Quite what the Russian jet was doing there is a good question though.

US plane + US tower = Fun and Games

Are you referring to that famous documentary Top Gun? You do realise that that was a US plane buzzing a US control tower?

Dude, in your post right above this one you stated that it ended in 1991. Make up your mind.

Yes, and it does. Have a look for Russian naval visits to the Caribbean. They happen whenever Russia can stretch to cover the costs.

Because those companies remember the USSR and the Warsaw Pact and would prefer to prevent that from happening to them again?

Why doesn’t the Russian navy do so? Not enough tugs to accompany every ship?

Props on that one my friend.
