It's a shame more movies don't use practical effects. That's one of the reasons The Thing will always be one of the greatest movies ever made.

 GoT deleted scene. Yes, that is Peter Dinklage. Edit: Knights of Badassdom, actually. If someone could take all of Peter's scenes from this film and cut them into GoT it might be the best show of all time. ZenMaster has a new favorite as of 23:31 on May 15, 2014 |

There is something so aesthetically pleasing about watching a car gracefully move in a direction different from where it's facing.

Just The Facts posted:I've been seeing .gifs and other random stuff of this all over the place recently. Is this any good for someone who generally doesn't watch anime? Not really no. It's an interesting setting, with a fair amount of death and gore if that's your thing. The problem is DBZ syndrome- poo poo takes way longer than it should due to excessive padding, and it's only going to get worse as the show progresses.

I just wish we could get a director's cut already. We got 85 minutes out of the 145 it should have had in Joe Lynch's version.

I generally don't watch or like anime, but this show intrigued me for the shock factor so I checked it out. Started off strong in the first few episodes then turned into characters spewing out cheesy melodramatic soliloquies, yelling, and over the top crying for 90% of the episode in addition to weird 5-10 minute scenes where you're waiting for a thing to happen and sometimes it doesn't even happen. The action in cool when it happens, I guess.

Skipped to the end of the first season, saw that he was still alive and immediately stopped watching. I don't find annoying and overly emotional children to be a compelling story-telling device.

One more before-and-after from Starship Troopers  If you have the DVD of "Starship Troopers", watch the behind-the-scenes footage. A lot of it is Paul Verhoeven off-camera yelling to the actors and stuntmen, "And now you see a huge bahg! IT'S COMING FOR YOU! GIANT BAHG! SHOOT ZE BAHG!"

If you have Netflix, go ahead and give it a shot. Worse comes to worse, it's not for you and you don't keep watching. I kept hearing about it, wanted to see what the big deal was, and was so hooked, I finished the season in two sittings.

Just The Facts posted:I've been seeing .gifs and other random stuff of this all over the place recently. Is this any good for someone who generally doesn't watch anime? I kind of agree with the other posters, but it did keep my interest for the whole season, even if a couple of episodes are kind of painful if not even close to - say - One Piece where you get like ten minutes of new scenes per episode if you're lucky. You could watch the first three-four episodes. If you're not hooked by then you can safely skip the rest. The characters are small children for one and a half episode + a couple of flashbacks and that's it. They don't really grow up though but that's anime for you. If you prefer dubs there's one coming out soon. Renoistic has a new favorite as of 05:27 on May 16, 2014 |

Skipped to the end of the first season, saw that he was still alive and immediately stopped watching. I don't find annoying and overly emotional children to be a compelling story-telling device. It's an anime, it's aimed at teenagers, and the main character (of the anime) reflects that aim by being a teenager with pretty teenager-ish emotional control. The anime spends a surprising amount of time on the details of combat in that world and against those enemies. I'm a sucker for any story that manages to weave palpable technical detail into its narrative- equipment, logistics, fuel, reconnaissance, commnications, malfunctions, that sort of thing. I loved it to pieces. I've been informed that the girl who is good at everything is the protagonist in the comic.

I loved it to pieces. Anime is a great storytelling medium for building science fiction and fantasy worlds that would be ludicrously difficult and expensive to portray with live action. I watched a lot of anime as a teenager, and my favorite shows were the ones that focused on building a fantastic yet believable world and telling an engaging story without inserting an emotionally unstable teenage character because the producers thought I would have an easier time relating to a petulant idiot than an actual interesting character. It is an unfortunate trend in television that seems to afflict animated and live action shows alike, regardless of nationality.    I wish I could find my DVD copy of Gravity because the behind the scenes stuff is completely insane and twice as long as the actual movie.
