March FIRST!? Are you serious!? I've been wanting to see this for a long time. *runs off to add the movie to her Blockbuster Q*
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Yes! I am really looking forward to this! Though I thought March 18 was going to be its theatrical release... Is it going right to DVD? I hoped to see it in theatres. Oh well, I'm happy with DVD too.

If I'm not mistaken it is a theatrical release. But I'm worried about the movie because its directed by Otomo. He may be a genius but that doesn't mean I should like his movies.

You might have a little trouble with that. It's not released on DVD until the 18th.

Yes, weep openly if you feel the need. :(

So far, Akira is the only movie he's done I have "issues" with. (I have yet to see Rojin Z.) But Memories and Metropolis both are great ones to check out, if you haven't. Memories is an excellent trilogy, even though the "Stink Bomb" episode does seem to try to hard. As for Metropolis, I love it! This is so pretty it made me rethink my views on Akira, and I'm now willing to try it again after I read the manga.

Is Memories available in the States? I thought it was only in a Region 2 DVD, at least according to the Anime Encyclopedia.

Nope, it's available as a region one release. I'm not sure who produces it, but I know I've seen it in my local Blockbuster.

Cool. I'll have to go burn my Amazon gift certificate on that, assuming they have it in stock. :grin:

Try a google search. A specific site doesn't come to mind right now.

I found out that it won't be playing at any theater near me. WHAAAAAH!

I think this definitely looks like one to see. It looks good, I look forward to seeing it whenever Netflix decides to get it in. :S Interesting that the maker took like 10 years or something to do it.
