T2 Trainspotting has naked Ewan McGregor, but no Ewan McGregor penis, in case anyone was wondering.

Oh man, I had seen a few episodes of Steven Universe here and there, but nobody told me that one of these gems is a charming goofball with crippling depression... this is the most relatable poo poo I've seen, ever!!

FishBulb posted:Yeah. That's some garbage rear end news Battle Angel Alita owns, and it's exactly the kind of relatively straightforward story that Cameron would do well with. Robert Rodriguez I'm less confident in but even so. Also, god drat Elizabeth Banks is a treasure, has she played an exaggerated sneering villain in anything else?

Maxwell Lord posted:At this point it's a surprise when a horror movie doesn't end with the monster escaped, the world is doomed. You're not wrong, but it still hit me like a pile of bricks, in part to how well it was edited. Plus, just the idea of screaming as your pod is flung into deep space, or being cocooned by an invasive species and begging people who cant speak your language to not free you from your pod. Ugh, creepy. Like, there's a part where one of the scenes is the briefly-malfunctioning autopilot controls on an escape pod. It's static, but then fixes itself and confirms the pod is going down to Earth. That scene is sandwhiched between shots of Rebecca Ferguson's face, so it makes you think that the events are connected. Instead, nope, those were cutaways to the other pod.

The first movie tones down a lot of the philosophy stuff in favor of being an action movie, but it's a drat good action movie. While I will say the show isn't, like, incredibly deep or anything, it's pretty clever at times, and the movie looks like it's had all the cleverness surgically sucked out of it.

I've never seen or read anything GITS-related, but i've skimmed over some Wikipedia articles about the source material before and the movie looks sorta cool, so i'll probably catch a matinee.

The first season of the rebooted PowerPuff Girls is on Hulu. I just watched the first episode. It wasn't bad? I expected it to be the Teen Titans Go backlash, and I guess I was right.

Like it manages to both not really do some of the stuff that defined the original while also not really doing anything if it's own. It's just sorta there. Still, the internet is mainly focused on Mojo Jojo not taking funny anymore and the Powerpuff Girls twerking at one point

I brought it up because you see his penis in the first one, and you see his penis in a lot of movies around that time, so I was a little disapointed this time around because I wanted to know what it looked like after twenty years.

I bought a real cheap 3-pack of The Thing, Land of the Dead and the Dawn of the Dead remake on Blu. I'm watching The Thing and the opening always makes me wanna play with a dog in the snow. That dog's shot to be menacing later on, but it looks like it's having a lot of fun tromping through that snow.

Watching the "Channel Criswell" analysis of Taxi Driver was rly helpful for me in terms of understanding why I've always had trouble uhh, directly connecting(?) with that movie. Which I think is just that at this point in my life I don't have an understanding of how someone can reject other people wholesale or feel the way Travis does towards others. That sort of misanthropy just feels alien to me, Travis's responses to the world don't make sense to me and I completely struggle to find any point of connection with them. I figure its something I'll appreciate more w/ time Hat Thoughts fucked around with this message at 12:11 on Mar 25, 2017 |

plz dont pull out posted:Early CGI was a special time It was. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4dIJLUVEOY CPL593H posted:I really never understood the appeal of Ghost in the Shell and I think you just explained it to me. I didn't watch the show, I just saw the first movie and was like "Seriously, that's it?". Saw it when I was like early teens and had no idea what was going on, but the visuals were great. Rewatched it again for the first time a couple weeks ago and honestly thought it was pretty amazing. It breaks a bunch of movie conventions that the remake (according to the plot synopsis at least) is intent on ramming right back in. How will I relate to a character if he/she isn't literally Neo? What I love about GitS is that it takes its time, it lets the entire atmosphere breathe. There's several minutes of just imagery of the city, it's great. Followed it up by watching Innocence and an episode of the anime and they're not really worth your time. They're anime as gently caress. Even more anime than the original film, which has giant mecha tanks and nude lady ninja terminators.
