Last Movie Watched

[gescom]

Awwww **** yeah! I heart Robot Carnival. I have it on my other laptop. Been meaning to show that to Adgy. If you're going to watch Appleseed I saw you watch the OG one and not that computer animated BS. I hate computer animated anime.

Haven't seen Megazone or Macross in a really really long time. I actually used to watch Gundam Wing. Seemed more political and than actiony.

those i listed have been among my favorites over the years, and stuff i've found to be a great jumping off point for developing a well rounded anime palate.

it also helps to get your brain adjusted to some of the more disjointed storytelling (that and reading Murakami WILL help tremendously) that Akira perfectly realized and that piece of s*** - Ghost in the Shell magnificently (though pretty f***ing beautifully) butchered... all the Steampunk stuff that came after "Shell," even stuff like the animated Clone Wars series excel in this style and whip GitS's ass 9-ways to Sunday.

Be-bop was fantastic!

I saw the computer animated Appleseed, Appleseed Ex Machina. It was ok.

It does kind of seem like cheating, though.

haven't seent it... wasn't sure if i wanted to... but Atom Heart has a track in it, i think, so...




darbs, no, the Urotsukidōji i want you to see was not a series... here it's called Legend of the Overfiend.

and those who HAVE seen it know why i want you to.



oh and i highly suggest everyone see Gunm before James Cameron thrashes the live action version of it.

I like Ghost In The Shell...

Claire Danes plays autistic professor, Temple Grandin. I really liked Danes performance in this.

Ugh. Yuck. Why do you keep on watching crap anime? I tried watching it and those it was crap. What was the point of doing in again anyway, and in CGI. Everything looked geigh...the movement of the characters and stuff looked retarded.

Spirited Away is a little on the weirder side Darbs, you should try Howl's Moving Castle. That's actually based off a story Diana Wynn Jones wrote. It's probably got the best dubbing track (if you actually like listening to it in English). Anyway, that's a good one, the story isn't all crazy weird. BTW, the English dubbing for Spirited Away it probably THE WORST dub out of all anime.

i challenge that dub with either the American dub of Macross or Akira.

First of all, I saw it because it was playing the Japanses Film Festival I had a press pass to. I spent the whole day there. It wasn't a bad film.

Secondly, what's this "keep" bit? Have I seen some crap anime that I don't know about?

TET-su-OHHHHHHHHH!!!!

A Town Called Panic

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3uG8LLuVPQ]YouTube - A Town Called Panic (English Version Trailer)[/ame]

In an attempt to pry this thread away from the anime heavy discussion I watched this French stop-motion animated flick, and as much as i wanted to love it, I just didn't. Worth watching...well, because it's stop motion, but just not very compelling.

Doc about Midnight Movies like El Topo, Pink Flamingos, The Harder they Come, and Eraserhead. I enjoyed it.

Saw that on starz, well, most of it. Good flick. Goes real well with that doc on the MPAA.

Watched this for the millionth time on Directv. There is apparently a cut of this that does not have the 'cancer' storyline in it. Pretty sure they made the right choice. That decision takes this flick from being a cutesy lightweight flick, to giving it a lot of emotional depth. Makes the fact that Lucas failed so hard on the second trilogy that much more apparent and tragic. Between this and that ping pong flick...Fogler should be a star!

This movie was ****ing intense. It's no wonder that some people can't watch this movie to the end, there are some really ****ed up parts. Save that, this movie is an intense experience, expertly shot/directed, and very original. But yea, not for the squeamish.

Yep, disturbing movie to say the least. Raw and brutal, yet surreal in a way. The idea of telling the story backwards isn't very original though (Memento?), but the execution was definitely amazing.

Amazing movie, one of Haneke's best. The Seventh Continent s a deeply unsettling and powerful movie about a family bored with their day-to-day lives that decides to move to Australia. The first half of the movie is pretty slow, but the second half is so ****ing powerful it'll leave you speechless. Highly recommended.

I just bought and watched Predators, better than I thought but I still liked the Original the best.

LOL, this is coming out on Blu-Ray in a few weeks.

Nov 19th, to be exact.

 

[orpheus]

Isn't this a pick me upper?

I like it. It's creepy and probably Price's most violent film.

 

[adgy-san]

Pretty good adaptation of Richard Stark's "Night Of The HUnter", the same book "Payback" was based on. This one has no comedy in it, though. Good, but not great. I am looking forward to listening to the commentary track by the director and Steven Soderbergh.

This movie is a riveting little gem. Not many people know about it, I just kind of stumbled upon it randomly while perusing Netflix. Goodbye Solo is about the friendship that develops between a cab driver and a suicidal elderly man. There are so many poignant moments throughout the film, and it all comes together to make an emotional, powerful, and moving story that will likely stay in your mind hours after the credits roll.
