Odds and ends 5th of Mayonnaise: Karl Urban loves balls, and Tara Strong is the new Miley Cyrus... and stuff.

 Karl Urban, the Cinematic Doomguy, the best Judge Dredd so far (sorry Mr. Stallone), and the modern Dr.McCoy is in negotiations with WB becaise his 50 year old fists are hungry for your balls.

Yup, 50 year old Karl Urban is in talks with WB to be Johnny Cage. While I like Urban as an actor, I think that he's too old to play Johnny Cage. In fact, anyone over 35 is too old to play Cage. I know that MK11 has the 50 year old Cage and the late 20s-early 30s Cage, but this is supposed to be MK1 era Cage or MK9, since that was the recent reboot... if this was 20 years ago, Karl Urban would be an amazing choice...

Miley Cyrus was in the MCU. She voiced Mainframe in Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2... well, she's not returning for Guardians 3. Her replacement has a nice badonkadonk. Tara Strong, who I can confirm is real, is now the new voice of Mainframe for GotG vol.3! It's a shame, that Miley is not returning, since she's a House of Rants favorite, but we also love Tara Strong, so equivalent exchange has been achieved.

The Saint Seiya movie sucks ass... in Japan it barely made 2 million. Despite what the Saint Seiya fan pages on Facebook claim, the movie is ASS!! How bad is it? OK, not only it's based on the Netflix PS2 graphics CGI series, but in some areas it makes Dragon Ball Evolution look good. In others it makes DBE look like the turd it is. It already released in Latin America and various anime fans have already pirated it. I got to see it at work thanks to a fellow weeb, who got it from a dude selling pirated DVDs at the side of a food truck for $5 a pop. This wasn't a shaky cam recording from a hidden backpack camera. This was at least DVD quality rip... perhaps an HD quality rip reduced to DVD quality when burned unto a DVD... This shit was as close to legit as you can get.

Don't BOTHER PIRATING IT OR WATCHING IT AT THEATERS When it comes out in your neck of the woods! Hell, not even worth to watching it at Walmart once it comes out on BR and DVD!


As a Saint Seiya movie, or Caballeros del Zodiaco as we know it in Latin America, it stinks. It's worse than the Netflix series. I have to be fully honest here, I didn't finish it. 30 minutes was enough to break me. The only other movie that broke me that way was Disney's Peter and Wendy which lost me at the 26 minute mark when the Lost Girls showed up. There's a reason why Wendy being the FIRST LOST GIRL is important and the movie robs Wendy from that. When you shit so hard on the lore that it makes me stop watching the movie, that's when you lost me. This "Saint Seiya" does the same thing. 

At best this is a "watch when it's transmitted on TV" at someone else's house so the only thing you waste is time and braincells.

Or better yet, watch Dragon Ball Evolution if you want to torture yourself with shitty anime bastardizations. But y'all won't heed my advice and pirate it... because you'd rather spend your money on GotG vol.3... which I'd understand, since it's obvious that GotG vol.3 is a far much better movie. Just watch GotG vol.3 and skip this movie altogether. It's not good as a stand-alone movie, but is far much worse as an adaptation of Saint Seiya...

This adaptation is so bad that it should crash and burn!!

No sequels can fix this crap. This should be as forgotten as DragonBall Evolution or the Double Dragon movie...
