Also, great choice on Perfect Blue. My favorite anime. Darby SHOULD watch it again. :)

Hmmmm. I had a completely different feeling. I totally got immersed in this. When they did finally pull back the curtain I really got that sense of awe that would be realistic in the face of something so deeply out of the ordinary. In my opinion the time they spent establishing...let me say, the scale of things, really payed off. It was a slow burn, and the time spent with the creatures was a mere blip in the overall running time...but it just really worked for me. It was like the anti-Jurassic Park. You can toss visual effects up on the screen all day, but if you don't establish a connection with the characters it's all just eye candy. Clearly, from the reactions here, I am in the minority. But I just wanted to toss my 2 cents out there.

There's not nearly enough invective going on in this discussion.

I'm deducting points from all.

Hey Darby.... watch the ****ing movie already...

Sorry guys. I got it on Thursday but it didn't play. Got it again tonight and will watch it tomorrow.

I wish I would have thought of this earlier, on the off chance it might have gotten some others who haven't seen it yet to rent it, but better late than never.

A nice illustration of Paprika's influence on a certain movie most everyone has seen.
