We just can't show the images, but it's all evil and a part of the Japanese Nazi Druids plan to brainwash our children.

Japanazi druids? This sounds like a story I'd watch, regardless of its medium. Do they attempt to conquer the world, or eliminate all non-tree life? Or are the Japanazi druids the good guys?

The japanese nazi druids are the bad guys. They use pokemon/final fanstasy/anime to dominate the world because they couldn't do it militarily during WW2. After the war, all of the nazi scientists went to japan and that is why after the war japan became a technological powerhouse.

That is also why the ps3 looks like they took the roofs off of two miniatures volkswagen beetles and glued them together.

Scuse me? Why don't you back that one up a bit.

To be clear, he has an incorrect view of what market penetration is in the USA of the films mentioned.

Let's be fair what nation has market penetration of any sort in the US?

French films?
German films?
Russian films?
British films
(Canadian films don't count due to the integration often making it difficult to determine when a film is Canadian or American)

Brit films I'd say, with a slight helping of French films. There's so much transposition between Brit/US in terms of writers/actors/directors there's no real difference at this point.

You forget Chinese wire action films.

Brit films that have cracked the North American market that are British in nature are still very rare. I can only think of maybe ten in the last 15 years.

So, other then Crouching Tiger how much money have those made?

Please note, I don't think Japanese movies have had any real penetration either.

I think monty python is the ONLY british movie that has penetrated the american market.

Black Adder was also a good show.

This is your good friend Alphen speaking, Grambo. I am afraid you are mistaken; "Libera Me From Hell" has a much higher default volume than "Raining Blood". In other words, I drown out Slayer with Shoko Nakagawa. Oh, in case any of you didn't catch on, I'm the friend Grambo refers to in the OP.

Paranoid Conspiracy theorist: this is an elaborate plot for one guy to have two accounts to post on one forum. I'm on to you, don't think I'm not....

Since DREAM brought it back from the dead, has anyone seen Helsing? Not really a good anime, but Alucard makes an amazing Vamp. (A note to all Directors: If your going to have a Vampire main character, go the route of Alucard from Helsing, not Edward Cullen from Twilight.)
