Post by: FlameOfCallandor on July 20, 2007, 08:33:36 PM: I lived in Japan and speak Japanese of course I'm being facetious you assholes.

I was just commenting that the font doesn't look all that special. But I guess japafag goggles do make it look like it's written in platinum.

I never thought I'd type or say this, but shouldn't we consider Rob Schneider's feelings?

you make a good point but i couldn't think of any other actor that would do this project.

even walken, who takes on every movie he gets asked for, would probably say no :-\

Also, you have to take into account that Walken might very well somehow make the movie watchable and possibly even LIKABLE. Which is certainly what this movie should not be about.
