DragonBall Evolution
I don't know what this says about me.
But.
....
I Loved the movie.IT WAS THE MOST ENTERTAINING THING I'VE SEEN ALL YEAR. Make your own personal opinions as you will, but I haven't laughed so hard in ages HAHAHAH OH GOD!!! IT WAS WONDERFUL!
GOKU/CHICHI forever. First one-true-pairing, last one-true pairing!!!
glayish And I were freaking nearly screaming with glee!!
So it all began with on Thursday. I was awake for virtually 24 hours because I was madly trying to finish a final project early because I knew we would be out all day with the cosplaying and movie business. Mom came and got me from Waterloo and we went back to Toronto where I finally finished the school work at around 2am, then I went downstairs in the basement to help
glayish finish her ChiChi costume.
Myself,
glayish, and
_anatra_ had decided to cosplay as Goku, ChiChi, and Piccolo respectively from the beginning of Z for the 7:45pm show at the AMC theatre. Around 1pm Glay and I headed down to Anatra's, and we hung out at her apartment while she got her re-done Piccolo arms and hood complete.
We suited up and then went to all-you-can-eat at a great Japanese restaurant where the waitress' knew who we were XD. Geezus, Piccolo and I went to the washroom to touch up the face paint and when we came out some guy completely sniper photographed us and amushed us in the dining room with his nice camera whipped out from no where O_o!!!
People on the street downtown knew who we were too, either yelling "DragonBall" or something like that. HAHA we got our photo taken so many damn times. Especially on the subway. We got to Dundas Square, and some dude immediately ran up and asked if we were going to the movie. We said yeah, and he told us it'd be a dissapointment. >_> Eh. Whatever, I yelled random crap at him and we went to go get our tickets lol.
Loooool even more photos, and our cashier at the food/snack stand was awesome and talked to us about DBZ.
When we go into the theatre, it was relatively full, and we got asked for a photo again. A group of guys yelled 'Do the Spirit Bomb!', so I put my hands in the air LOOOOl.
Anyway, we sat down and I started hyperventilating and a cold sweat broke out because for the past year, I've only ever been on the end of negativity, scorn, and promises of how terrible it would be.
But you know what?
I am fucking GLAD that I never let those horrible opinions get to me. Because I enjoyed it so much!
glayish and I just couldn't stop laughing and grinning at the interactions, ESPECIALLY the Goku/ChiChi scenes! In fact there were multiple times where the whole theatre broke out into laughter at truly humorous moments.
Yeah it wasn't an exact rendition of DragonBall, but why the hell should it have been? It was a new and entertaining spin on something I love dearly, and have for over 10 years.
And.. judging from that extra snippet scene after the credits, I REALLY REALLY want a sequel!
After the movie I was very happy, and
glayish and I are going to go see it again this weekend.
Oh yeah.. and in the end I never got to take a single shot of us on my camera!!!! When we got back we were way too tired and it was too dark. But that guy from the restaurant will hopefully e-mail the photos he took to us, so I might have something to show.
DragonBall Evolution... I must own you.
