Questions re Manga-based Japanese Live Action Films

[Lewis Cook]

I haven't been paying much attention, so I hesitate to ask, but is  
there any 'thoughtiness' (thanks due here to Stephen Colbert) behind  
this seemingly interminable thread? I've heard that there are people  
who collect empty beer cans, and evidently there are lots of people  
who collect titles of films based on manga. So what?
