A l'époque j'aimais beaucoup DBZ (la faute à mon frère et mes cousins^^) mais le fait de vouloir l'adapter au cinéma je le sens pas du tout !! Je voie vraiment pas comment ils vont faire pour que ce soit un minimum crédible... hum

Ah,
the Borderline. Lovely little hole in the wall place off a side street
that was practically closed due to construction. Ah, London. Lovely
sun-shining London. That would be a not! LOL! Although, I do
have to admit that I actually did see the sun when we initially swung
by the venue to get our bearings. It was while we were having lunch
(we’d not eaten since early that morning and it was going on 3:30p.m.)
that the clouds re-appeared.

We finished eating and meandered
over to the Borderline. Got there about 5-ish; the queue had gotten a
tad bit longer, about 30ish people then. Stepped in line and promptly
started chatting up the people in front of us (that we didn’t know) and
a couple of others that

spikesdeb knew.

Ten minutes after that? You guessed it! The lovely clouds opened up, and it began to rain. *snerk*

*cue umbrellas opening*

It’s like we created our own roof, the line of us. Or, once

spikesdeb trotted off to go retrieve one for us.

About
6:00p.m. two lovely ladies came out and said they were gonna open the
doors about 6:30p.m. to get us in out of the rain. Yeah, didn’t happen.
I can’t remember what time we were let in, but I’m pretty sure it was
right about 7:00p.m.

Barring the extremely tall woman that was
front stage center and broke out in dance a few times, and another
“taller than me” person directly in front of me that also decided to sway to the beat from time to time, I had an excellent spot in which to view the Q & A and concert.

The
first part is pretty word-for-word. I’ll let you know when I start
guessing at remembering the questions. (I didn’t bring a pen so I
couldn’t jot down key buzzwords from the questions to refresh my memory
later.)

James: Just to kick it off, for those of you that came
out on Saturday, I want to apologize that I couldn’t come out and play
music. I had bad jetlag along with a bit of intestinal flu. (He TMI’d
us with info that he’d been in the bathroom for over an hour.) The good
news is I’m feeling better. The bad news is that I seem to have given
the disease to Steve Himber; so he will NOT be performing. (Went on to
say that he doesn’t talk about his children.) So, I have a mike and you
don’t. Sorry. But, I guess if you guys want to raise your hands and
I’ll point, you guys can ask some questions and I’ll be as honest as
possible.

Question was made about him being inducted into the
“Mile High Club” and whether or not he learned anything else from her,
or she him.

James: Did I learn anything else from her? Oh yeah.
*chuckles* [Did he teach her?] In a sexual sense, no… *said extremely
drawn out* I think I taught her to be a little more patient with her
kids.

Mentioned that he felt like he was in an auction. Someone shouted out that “we wish!”

A
new friend we met in line, Joanie, from Switzerland – a JM con newbie –
asked if James liked Swiss chocolate. I believe he answered with an
emphatic YES! And, she gave him some. Yay!

James: Question was
“a lot of people from the Buffy the Vampire show have been on
Supernatural, and am I planning on going on” and the answer is I’ve not
been asked yet, but I’d love to.

Someone asked him something about home, I believe.

James:
A poet once said homes that home is where, if you show up at the door,
they can’t lock you out. And since have a key… My house. Yeah, it’s
when you really can relax.

James: So the question is “in a
relationship between Captain John and Captain Jack, who is the
submissive, and who is the dominant?” That I think is probably why the
relationship didn’t work, because they BOTH thought they were the
dominant and the other was the sub.

Question: I just have to
say that I thought your version of Chocolate Jesus was almost better
than Tom Waits version. And, I wanted to see if you like the P. J.
Harvey band?

James: Oh, wow! I don’t know P. J. really totally well but, very good. But, I don’t know any songs.

Comment: I think you should do some covers.

James: Right on. And then I don’t have to write songs, and it won’t take so long.

Someone asked about James liking U2/Bono.

James:
The question was "Do I like U2? And what do I think of Bono being a
humanitarian." I think that U2 has always been one of my favorite
bands; I think that they’ve always been honest and powerful. They’ve
always meant what they sing about. And, I think that Bono has taken
that same passion and just as he becomes older and more mature his
concerns get wider and wider. They say that, you know, you start just
kinda hopefully caring about yourself. And then you get taught to care
about your family. And then you get taught to care about your classroom
at school. And then hopefully, it keep expanding until you care about
your larger community, and hopefully at the end, the whole world. So,
it’s no surprise that he’s doing that, but I think that GOD, someone
needs to. And, I’m glad it’s him.

Moving on with the next portion of the Q & A...

Questions about who picked who, James or Steve.

James:
We’ve been together so long. We picked each other, from across a
crowded room. *laughs* But I, my agent told me that they didn’t have
time for all of my foolish questions; I had to have a manager I could
bother. Steve was one of the first meetings that I had, and we just
automatically locked. Cuz I thought that he would be the guy to tell me
to “eff off” when I needed to. And I was right!

Question about teaching - say, at Julliards.

James:
*laughs* If I had a chance to teach at Julliard? Yeah! I’d tell them
all to leave. They’d fire me so fast. They’d kick me out all over
again. The thing is that Jilliard gets a lot of really good students.
They really kind of have their pick of the American, the young American
talent every year, but half of the people who graduate every year quit
because they’re told that they’re horrible and that acting is not fun.
So, basically half of American theatrical talent is squelched by that…
cinderblock on 66th street.

Question about playing Macbeth in movie? And who would he cast?

James:
I have played Macbeth, actually. But if I were to cast a movie version?
God. It would be someone young, and innocent. Rather like the lady that
Roman Polanski cast in his Macbeth back in the sixties. Uh, I don’t
think that Lady Macbeth is a castrating beyotch. I think that that’s
the exact opposite of what she is. In fact, she is, in fact, too
innocent. And she thinks that if she forgets about the crime then she
won’t go crazy. And, she’s wrong. But, she’s not conniving. If she was
conniving, she wouldn’t go crazy. She wouldn’t… there would be no “out
damn spot”. It’s all guilt coming on a very young mind.

Question about him going to Germany.

James: Actually, I’m going to Germany on Tuesday. *sound of hearts breaking all over the room*

Question about Without A Trace.

James:
The question is “did I enjoy doing Without A Trace and would I like to
do another procedural cop show like CSI or something.” Uh, I enjoyed it
very much. The other actors on the show were REALLY nice and REALLY
good. Like Anthony is just amazing. And Ms. Baptiste is just amazing as
well. But, you know, some of the writers on Buffy, we all complain
about the same thing. Because, like, we go off on these other project,
these really good projects, but we get bored because we want a demon to
jump out and rip somebody’s head off… a portal to open and a space ship
comes out or something like that. So, in a way, it was fun, because
it’s a very different kind of word, and the dialogue is really heavy on
information, and just trying as an actor to sound normal and
interesting is its own challenge. But, I want a demon to come out and
rip somebody’s head off.

Question about size. (And naturally, his mind went into the gutter. LOL!)

James:
I don’t know if I understand the question. Size does matter, you guys
know that. But as far as acting, that’s my personal boundary. [Question
clarification; James does a bit of oopsy, self-depreciating grin.] Um,
you know, see… I don’t think so. I don’t think the camera can really
tell how tall you are. But the casting director seem to really care
about that a lot. I always joke to my son that if I was five inches
taller, we’d all be rich.

Question about bad habits, and needing help with doing away with them.

James:
I used to be composed of bad habits. But that was a LONG time ago. And,
I’ve irradicated them all except for nicotine patches, but I think that
I’m gonna have to do that on my own.

Question about his most embarrassing question and what his answer was.

James: I really don’t remember GETTING an embarrassing question. *points to himself* Shameless.

Question about what he likes to do on holiday/where he would like to go.

James:
Where do I go on holiday? I really haven’t had a holiday in… uh… five
years. *cue sympathetic aww'ing by crowd* The other side is, I’m not
unemployed. So, that’s good. I went with my family to Hawaii. I spent a
WHOLE lot of money, but it was worth it. Right now, if I could really
choose where to go (paraphrased) it would be my own bed, something
about ice water. Guest commented about him coming round to her bed (or
some such) and he laughed.

Question about experience at Indie Festival.

James:
I did very much. What I really liked about it was there was a wonderful
group that started us off. Maybe some of you were there. So, I had a
nice crowd by my stage of like 300 people. But then, during the set,
like 200 more wafted by and stayed. And, that made me feel good. Made
me feel like they were staying for the music.

Question about what to see on the west coast.

James: I would
take as much of Highway 1 as you have time for. [I second that!]
(Person asked about convertible.) No. No. It would be very rainy and
cold. Well, you know, if you put the top up, yeah sure, convertible.
There are some rock formations along the coast of Washington that are
just jaw droppingly beautiful. I would also recommend the Olympic
Penninsula in Washington state. Go to the old growth forests. I would
very much recommend going to the San Juan Islands off the coast of
Washington. When you get to California, do some wine tasting up north,
there’s some really nice stuff up there. Go to Carmel-by-the-sea. If
you can stay at a Sea Lemar, near, I forget where that is.. Sea Lemar,
it’s kinda near Carmel… (Someone says it’s not.) Told ya, I forgot.
Yeah, I think that would be, probably be a pretty good trip actually.
Sounds like a great trip actually.

(Sea Lemar =
Solimar. As in, the Solimar Reefs, beaches, etc. that can be seen from
the Old Highway 1 in California, a lovely drive, but a definite speed
trap, so watch the speedometer! And, James, they’re by Ventura, about
four hours away from Carmel. Right outside your back door, practically,
hun. *wink* *loves confused!James* - And, if this wasn’t what he was
talking about, I’ve no clue as to where he’s trying to reference.)

Question, courtesy of my loverly twin,

spikesdeb: I hear you are a closet Trekkie, as am I. Would you have liked to have been in the new Star Trek film?

James:
I am a Trekkie. I really am not that far in the closet. I actually
wrote my own Star Trek show. But, then, Enterprise took my idea. (He
proceeded to waffle on – as

spikesdeb
would say – for SEVERAL minutes, where he described IN DETAIL about his
luverly pre-series Star Trek plot. [Oh boy, did he ever!]

After that, my camera went on strike, so I only have a vague recollection of what else was asked. Below are the highlights…

Three
people he would have dinner with – dead or alive: Albert Einstein,
Ghandi, and George W, so they could do things to him that would get a
visit to my house by the Sekrit!Service if I spelled them out, oh, and
apparently even Ghandi would struggle not to join in. Or, so James
believes.

Spike movie: At the Paleyfest, Joss hemmed and
hawed, and SMG pretty much nixed idea. She’s in Africa helping
children, apparently. To which James said good on her.
How much
money would it take to dye his hair: as soon as Sarah comes back from
Africa. (James, I lurve the color of your current "do"; don't change a
thing!)

He would like to play Iago from Othello, but that Hamlet
needed to be played by a young kid, about 17 or so. (I’m sure he’s
talked about this particular question SEVERAL times now.) Quoted lines
from Hamlet to do with him (Hamlet) getting up in the morning/why do I
bother type of thing, and said that a 45 year old actor basically
couldn’t pull off the lines or be believable.

Dragonball – signed on for two more, nothing else currently in the works.

Something
about Steve doing “Dancing with the Stars” and James being HIS manager,
and James said that Steve would be a better dancer than him being a
manager, but that he’d take his 10%.

He’d like to write and perform music with: Gareth David-Lloyd; David Gareth has a tight band. (Thanks,

babysquid, for the correct! Did I mention I was tired? I think

spikesdeb and I are running on about 4-5 hours sleep a night right now. I'm gonna need a vacation from my vacation!)

What was Joss like to work for? Joss was great, and angry, and it just depended on the day as to what you got. Also, he – again
– mentioned that he had no say in Spike’s dialogue, etc. and added that
if he got one adverb wrong/out of place, etc. when filming that they
would re-shoot the scene, no matter that it had been a good take.

Would he take a part in “Dollhouse”? In a heartbeat.

There
was this Supergirl thing that graduated to Superwoman, and when someone
in the audience said it was SuperGIRL on Saturday, that he commented
that he was still hashing out the details in his mind, but that he’d
like to get Russell T. Davis to hold his hand with the project. Wanted
to set it in the UK.

Oh, and he had enough music for half of an album.

Why
he went to LA and when? About two months after his son was born.
Basically, he had this shifting of cognitive priorities; he also
pondered having studies done on men – and women – to test the theory.
(James, I can you tell you, women have mastered this [our ability to
grow up and prioritize our lives, what we want, etc.] at a VERY young
age. *grin* *cough*canwesaymaturity?*cough*) And his reason going?
MONEY!!! Basically, his child couldn’t exist on James’ meager
salary/lifestyle working in theater and he could only provide for his
child by “gathering what he had left of his soul and selling it.”
(Paraphrased, but damn close to what he actually said.)

Well, that’s about all I can remember. If anyone can think of anything else, let me know, and I’ll get it added.

And that's a wrap! Hopefully my spellings, etc. weren't too bad to muddle through. *iz d.e.d.* I'm correcting as I'm being made aware of boo boos. ^_~

In
all, it was a fun time, and I was really surprised by how long it went
on. Steve must have REALLY been off his game on Wednesday. LOL!

James Marsters - "Dragon Ball" Movie - Jump Square Magazine Interview

What is the difference between the original and the live-action movie ?

JM: Definitely the story of this movie is different
from the original. But it’s a necessary change because we need to
condense the long story of the original for a movie. For example, some
characters in the original don’t appear in the movie. And we try to
give it a more gritty and graphic (realistic) feeling.

Though there are differences between the two, I think
it is all right if the core part of Dragonball remains. I let my son
watch the anime’s Dragonball, DBZ and DBGT since he was eight years
old. At first, I thought it was too violent, but I realized this is the
best show for training to become a true man. True men need not to
flaunt themselves. Their calm, gentle and modest but when it comes to
the crunch they don’t hesitate to kill the enemy, and I think that’s
what Goku is.

Goku is a real man. I know my son received such a
message and applied it to his own life. My son doesn’t use violence to
others, but he isn’t afraid of his own anger. I think it’s an important
thing.

How many hours does it take to apply the make-up?

JM: It takes about four hours. Luckily, my make-up artist is very chatty, we have a lot of chat during the make up.

Please tell us the most remarkable scene in the movie, especially action scenes!

JM: It is the last battle after all! I like playing the
battle scene. When I worked for a TV show for seven years, every Friday
I fought till sun rise, I felt I would never have such a good time
again until now. In addition, I have never gotten terribly hurt (laugh).

Do you talk with other co-stars as well?

JM: When I have a problem, I have a talk with Justin
[Chatwin]. At first, we worried about the costumes. We thought it
should reflect the spirit of the original, we persisted this thought to
the producers. We didn’t want to make our characters beautiful and
safe. I talked with Justin, and he agreed with me. So did the director.

What do you care about in acting for this movie?

JM: That’s a good question. Speaking of Piccolo, one
word comes into my mind, it’s “loneliness”. Piccolo is always floating
in the air in the beautiful landscape, but he never even admires the
landscape, he is only thinking or musing and staring at his feet. I
think that is a characteristic of piccolo more than anything else.
Maybe it must be a characteristic for revenge. He hates himself and
blames the people who has trapped him. His desire to kill not only them
but their family, furthermore to destroy the city and the planet they
live and protect. To get revenge is everything to him. Everything.

How was shooting in Durango?

JM: The desert of Durango is very cold at night
(laugh). I was luckily wearing armor, but Goku was freezing at the
beginning of shooting. The local people are very kind and get along
with us. Besides they love to party very much! If I didn’t have work, I
would be willing to join them. They are drinking and singing songs
until 4:30 a.m. But I need to sleep for the shooting the next day,
after all so I changed the hotel to get away from the partying people.

Finally, please give us a message to our readers in Japan.

JM: Japan is beautiful. Thank you for giving Dragonball
to us! It’s an important show to us all and I want you to watch it,
especially the young people. I thank the show for a lot of good times
with my son. I’ll do my best to meet the high expectations the fans
have.
