FMA on the BIG SCREEN

[skydark]

We just got back from a 45 minute jaunt to a place called Conyers, Georgia (that I've never been to) to the Fullmetal Alchemist Movie: Conquerer of Shamballa. We saw the 2:00 show (we ate lunch at Chili's beforehand as well)

Many things strike me.

1. I love the dub, I do. I love the american VA's, they are wonderful actors. Aaron got to talk without his tin bowl, Vic was wonderful, OMG who did Alfons? I didn't get a chance to see in the credits, he rocked!
2. The movie makes a HELLUVA LOT MORE SENSE NOW. And I fell in love with Alfons =/ OMG the HYDE. Especially that line..."we're real, we're not just in your dream" *wibbles*
3. OMG it was a state-of-the-art theatre! Dolby Surround Sound, Christie Projectors, Stadium Seating! <3
4. I like the movie a whole lot more now than I did in the sub, because darn it, I like hearing it in english.
5. There were a lot of people in the theatre! That made me VERY HAPPY! =D
6. OMFG I GOT TO SEE IN ON THE BIG SCREEN IN LESS THAN A YEAR FROM IT'S RELEASE IN JAPAN, HOW FUCKING COOL IS THAT?!
7. You should go see it, you really, really should.
8. Saw a trailer for a movie called Happy Feet, I will stand in line for tickets to that.
9. Saw a trailer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and realized...I still love them. Will so totally see that. XD

Glad you liked the movie!!

[sky-dark.livejournal.com]

[moxiemegan.livejournal.com]

8. Saw a trailer for a movie called Happy Feet, I will stand in line for tickets to that.

Any movie in which a penguin sings Queen is a movie worth seeing. :P

[sky-dark.livejournal.com]

You know it XD

[gundamnook.livejournal.com]

Lucky. The closest theatre that the movie is playing from me is 3 hours away. I really wish I could see it on the big screen. But I did get to see it at Wizard World earlier this month, so I shouldn't complain too much!! XDD

[sky-dark.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it was close enough for me to go, so I was lucky! <3

[nadiko.livejournal.com]

I sooo wanna see it. But I have no idea when it hits the theatres here in the U.K

[sky-dark.livejournal.com]

I don't know, but I hope it does soon!

[toxicbullets.livejournal.com]

;3; They don't play the FMA movie in CT. I'll just buy the DVD and pretend I'm in the movie theatre xD;;

Glad to hear you enjoyed it :D. I really want to hear what Alfons' dub voice sounds like.

[sky-dark.livejournal.com]

He's got a great dub, he really does! =D

[keelain.livejournal.com]

luuuucky...

;___;

because I will probably be seeing it on my TV

[sky-dark.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was surprised it played here!

[electricxmonkey.livejournal.com]

I cant wait to meet ic At Sakura-con *squee*

[electricxmonkey.livejournal.com]

*Vic stuck key XD

[sky-dark.livejournal.com]

He's really nice! You'll like him! =D

[guineapiglady.livejournal.com]

Awww, wish you'd gotten to go last night so we could have met. A friend and I were the only cosplayers there - I was Ed, she was Roy. Anybody in costume this afternoon?

And I am so making the fishbowl helmet Ed wears at the start of the movie.

[sky-dark.livejournal.com]

No! I was disappointed! I wanted there to be Eds and Roys! =( I wish I'd gotten to go Friday, too. But Conyers is kinda far away from me!

[libraire.livejournal.com]

AW LUCKY. I sometimes damn living in Canada. ;__;

[sky-dark.livejournal.com]

It will come out on DVD!

[moumusu.livejournal.com]

I saw it in theaters! Well, I saw part of it. Boy, was it good. My favorite line was, "He's waiting for someone else." >3> ROYDOR WHO ARE YOU WAITING FOR.

[sky-dark.livejournal.com]

I know, 'He's waiting for someone else' made the roy/ed ship in me go pitterpat XD

THE FMA MOVIE IN WISCONSIN! (FAR away!)

[havocmangawip.livejournal.com]

Cost: About 45 bucks.

400 miles of road
9 gallons of gas
A great driving mix
4 Lattes for a total of 13 shots of espresso
1 movie ticket
and 10 people in an AMAZING THX digital theater sitting MIDWAY up in the middle for the 2p.m. Showing of a movie I've been waiting a year to see... in my H.A.C. shirt! (No Mini-skirt this time.)

Value of seeing Jean Havoc on the big screen with big guns, pwn-ing Mustang and OH, those other guys too...

PRICELESS!!!!


I admit to squeeing a few times and saying, "I MET THOSE PEOPLE!!!"

Re: THE FMA MOVIE IN WISCONSIN! (FAR away!)

[sky-dark.livejournal.com]

LoL! Sounds like a great time! =D

[ellyberry.livejournal.com]

I saw it last night~

It was made out of WIN and AWESOME, of course! They did a superb job!

[sky-dark.livejournal.com]

They really did, it was great! =D

[http://users.livejournal.com/_elfy/]

I was at the same show!

I loved it, I really did. I laughed like mad that everyone cheered for Armstrong as soon as he came on screen.

I also got over my dislike of the dub a couple minutes into the movie and didn't mind them all the way through. I prefer the Japanese, but it was still good.

I left VERY, very happy.

[sky-dark.livejournal.com]

Were you really? Where were you sitting? We sat almost at the back on the right hand side (if you were facing the seats) I should have tried to meet up with you! (My bad!)

[cuylerjade.livejournal.com]

The movie was actually showing in my town (Tyler, TX) so I went to see it twice (once for the movie, and the second time just because I could!! XD) I LOVED it. It was so worth the cost of the tickets. The first time, thought, they put on Monster House instead of CoS... it was ugly... very ugly... I was sure there would be blood spilled! But, OMFG - Alfons was wonderful. And, when Armstrong redesigned Liore (in his image..) XD I thought I would die laughing!!

[sky-dark.livejournal.com]

I ALMOST told my gf we needed to stay all day because it was showing again at 930 that night, but I knew she wouldn't go for it XD

I AM SO JEALOUS!

[crimson-lantern.livejournal.com]

It's not coming to Wichita so I can't see it until it comes out on DVD. It should damn it, at our anime con this last weekend there were over 2000 people and I'm betting at least half of those liked FMA! I am so pissed about that and people keep telling me stuff about, you know people who download it from the net... *twitches*

Re: I AM SO JEALOUS!

[sky-dark.livejournal.com]

Well, it's a great dub and you'll like Alfons VA =) Maybe they'll show it at a con near you!

[magelette.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the head's up. My husband and I just got back from seeing it at the only showing in LA (along with about fifteen Eds and a couple of Amestris' finest dogs of the military). :)

[sky-dark.livejournal.com]

I didn't have ANY cosplayers! I was sad! XD Wasn't Alfons voice great?

[msdelioncourt.livejournal.com]

;_; I want to watch the The Conqueror of Shamballa on the big screen too *pouts*

Hell, I would settle for watching the tv-series on tv and not on the computer. Living in Spain sometimes sucks *goes off to throw a fit*

*comes back* But I'm happy that at least some people have the chance to enjoy it ^_^

[sky-dark.livejournal.com]

D= Well at least you can watch it! The movie DVD will be out soon!

[ravenwolf-zero.livejournal.com]

I don't have any theaters with it nearby, but I'm so lucky because I saw it at Otakon twice! I can't help bragging to everyone. T_T
I wasn't expecting to like Alfons, but I did! I saw a little bit of him in my sub, but I stopped watching that partway through, because I realized I'd rather see it in English first.

(Um, yeah, you don't know me, but I read BTLA... >_>)

[kao-sama.livejournal.com]

I'm mad I can't see it even though I'm in the US D: I know it's shown in Boston but I can't really go there by myself, and it seems to be shown only this weekend ;_; I so wanted to see it in a theater, I don't care about the language T_T (even though I love Paku Romi too much to appreciate a dubbed version XP)

I'm really glad you fell in love with Alfons, he deserves more love &hearts

[crazyloststar.livejournal.com]

i have to agree that whoever did the voice of Heid was amazing, and i actually CARED about him by the end of the movie. For some reason the way he sounded in the Japanese version just made me angry at him hahaha.

and some of the dialogue was AMAZING. The "brother brother!" scene between al and ed was so much more gut wrenching it seemed!

<3 the movie *swoon*

[embyrr922.livejournal.com]

I'd have to go two states over to get to a theater playing the FMA movie, so I'm going to have to wait for the DVD release.

Also, they've been advertising Happy Feet for at least a year, it looks so cool! Awesome cast too, I'm going to push for opening day on that one.

[taiyoukai-okibi.livejournal.com]

I got to see the movie too, lucky for me it was only an hour away.
But they didn't show previews...so instead me and I think nine other people that dressed up did little skits and stuff. It was really fun, but the movie...it was just...so good it leaves you speechless!
Though me and my friend wern't speechless for long because we talked about it all night long.
I was Movie!Alphonse...but I forgot my gloves and my kitty at home because I was rushed to get over to my friends house so we could get to the theature an hour early to wait in the line. We got movie posters while waiting in line which is now hanging up in my room in all it's coolness. :D

Unfortunately the only place in California playing the movie was in LA. A 4-6 hour drive ( depends on traffic and who's driving ). I'd wish I could tell Funi that LA isn't the only place in California. What about San Francisco? ARGH!!!!

**Goes off to mope**

[kaiya-chan.livejournal.com]

I know, don't you just hate that?! One showing in the whole state... and it's a damn big state too! *weeps*

[serafinasera.livejournal.com]

oooh that sounds like it was fun!! *hasn'tactuallyheardthedub* FMA BELONGS on the big big screen
*tries to swim across the sea to nearest showing XD*

[vanilla-scream.livejournal.com]

Sounds awesome! I can't wait to see it on DVD *it didn't come to theaters in Montana*

[bamberbabe88.livejournal.com]

LUCKY! ;_; I haven't even seen the other version. But I can't wait until I do. YEAH!!!! for you. ^_^
