it would be utterly unwatchable, too. Zack Snyder is already garbage, but then you add the obnoxious tone of most anime and you've got real mind-poison.
Snyder's worst looking movie looked a lot better than LA Bebop, but it also had a larger budget than the entire season of LA Bebop.

I mean it does make sense, people successfully adapt things to different mediums all the time, and it's very easy to name animated films that could be trivially translated to live action (off the top of my head: Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade)

Some Guy TT posted:

was this just speculative or were you aware theres a korean live action version of jin roh the wolf brigade

its got its issues but not for reasons having anything to do with it being adapted from a cartoon
Well it has a similar problem in that the anime has the most talented people in animation working on it and the korean live action remake does not have the most talented people in live action working on it, and the budget isn't really enough to pull off something that looks as good in live action as the original did in animation. But at least it had a movie budget and not a tv show budget so it looks like a movie.

There's also the Jin-Roh adjacent live action movie which had no budget but at least it has the original director and some nice no-budget charm.

Loved the mythology symbolism. Personally, I thought the lighthouse itself was nothing special. Ephraim laughing at the end is just him realizing he murdered Wake for nothing.

Robert Pattison's own monologue after he gets fired is just as good as Dafoe's.

just watched "the last duel"

gotta say, for all the controversy on twitter the movie makes it pretty loving explicit what the message is. you'd have to be braindead to not notice that when the title card "the truth according to the lady marguerite" pops up, when it fades out the words "the truth" lingers for an extra full three seconds. the movie does not gently caress around with its message.

It's beautiful. And it's for the god of...of...arts and crafts. I think that's what he said.
The Cowboy Bebop show did surprisingly well in viewing hours but got dropped one month after airing. This really feels like they were just trying to print money without any actual care. No faith in the product and released it like movie studios release movies in January.

I’d want to say that someone in the boardroom was fearing diminishing returns for the second season and wanted to cut while they were ahead. It’s just this whole thing feels corporate as gently caress down to the showrunner’s mom being VP of a Netflix department. Naomi probably won’t get fired. Just put in another comfy desk job and posting how hard her life is for engagement.

I'm going to start Netflix 2, a mail order business where people can sign up to rent Blu Rays through the mail. They are higher quality than streaming, will have a wider selection, and it gets rid of the paralysis of choice that streaming pages provoke. Who wants to log on to sort through dozens of poo poo movies before even starting to consider what to watch. Instead, you'll make a list of movies you want to watch that will then get mailed out to you, so you can start watching immediately.

umm isn't the whole moral of the film is that liberals either don't care or will actively enable atrocities in order to maintain their priveleged lifestyle?
🤔

like it shows that the the oppression and exploitation of South america/the global South is inescapable, even once you make it to "the land of the free" the oppression is still apparent as its the whole source of it all.

(blue check) twitter libs are genuinely the dumbest people. and yeah i noticed that too, it's really not hiding it at all about the actual truth and various sides of toxic masculinity

also just watched this and yeah if anything it felt like it was trying to beat you over the head with it in an incredibly unsubtle manner. like even in de Gris' version of events he's still obviously a complete piece of poo poo. the fight at the end rocked too
