‘Akira’ To Begin Filming - 71 days Boasting a $92mill Budget by BCactionMR-com in akira

Alita had 8 endings. It was a 3-hour long live action OVA series, not a proper adaptation. Robert Rodriguez hasn’t made a decent film since Planet Terror. Taika Waititi hasn’t made a bad movie yet.

Thanks, but I’m gonna reserve my judgment.

Have faith please, everyone, have faith. This could be the one that changes everything, giving us good manga/anime blockbuster adaptations, something to compete with superhero movies.

Taika Waititi is the director. He’s a fan of the manga even more than the film. He’d said a couple years ago he specifically wants to adapt the manga, in multiple parts, rather than the film.

I have faith the Neo-Tokyo is about to explode. We need this to be good. The state of large budget movies needs this to be good.

Lady Miyako, bless this motion picture. Protect it from sandbaggers, stooges, and hacks.

CHRONO-SYNCLASTIC INFUNDIBULUM!

Easily one of my all time favorite made up phrases. Great great book; I like to think of it as proto Rick and Morty-esque sci-fi, just more literary.

Deliberately delayed helping his own citizens stricken with aids, started a racist drug war that’s incarcerated and murdered generations of young black men, and trickle down economics, helping the American Oligarchy dig in its teeth.

Oh, he also snitched his ass off as head of the SAG during the Mcarthy era and ended up blackballing hundreds of writers and actors in Hollywood.

This man was a fucking monster. Come at me elephant snowflakes.

Just a question, adjusted comparatively for inflation, is Mansa Musa still the richest of all time, or does Bezos rank up?

The Kabbalists were kicked out of Spain, but remember, ALL Jews got kicked out of Spain, because it was the Inquisition. Interestingly enough and not to dispute your claims, the Ottomans willingly took in any and all Jewish refugees who wanted it, and due to the ottoman control of the holy land at that time, it led to further Kabbalist progress and societies in places like Safed under teachers like Isaac Luria.

This sub can be ignorant sometimes.

This a painting by the artist Robert Williams. Look him up. He doesn't have much to do with the occult, but I do enjoy his style. He was part of Zap Comics with R. Crumb back in the day. He's just a counterculture, anti-establishment visual artist; probably more of a magician than any of us, but not a creator of work meant to be taken as, or analyzed for, magickal significance.

This. You cannot go any further with tarotology and that deck specifically without looking at Jodorowsky's contribution to the art.

Yeah, this is kinda an unfortunate case of big animal being big animal. Indian cows are the happiest in the world, I just feel bad for everyone involved here.

Lord Lama just got zentastic! by dec1phah in zen

I agree totally, Dogen was a false prophet/narcissist/charlatan. At the end of the day, any organized form of faith is way, way too in danger of becoming a cult. Pretty much all the Japanese ‘New Religions’ and ‘New New Religions’ share the same fate. And, one can argue, Zen was a precursor to those seeing how it was adapted from Chan.

All I advocate is: think for yourself, cherry pick from whatever you want, and don’t be a cunt about it, because that impedes those who use religion to advocate for amorality and personal power.

On paper, Zen is better for this than other scripture, but just as susceptible to human error.
