I don't know that I could recommend it (the anime, that is) on its own. yeah i would absolutely never call wingard's death note an even remotely good adaptation of the source material but as its own thing it's a fuckin fun movie (i also think the anime for death note is so goddamn over the top melodramatic that it becomes super funny in a way that the manga doesn't tho)

CelticPredator posted:Death Note rules You can enjoy a couple thingies, Death Note anime is something special. It's like the Breaking Bad of anime, the water-cooler wild ride of the 2000s. And it's really good too. I always took the dark humor and bit of camp in the Death Note anime to be intentional, but anyway, it's a classic.

I actually think the melodrama of the death note anime really works for it, it fits with the tone of light thinking he’s an all powerful god. perfect, no notes

Posting about a popular thingy on a forum and saying you're not gonna watch it for an obscure reason. Tricky stuff. Played me like a fiddle

I will see this movie, and that will be a thing that happened. Nothing will top the five seconds of Lance Reddick in the last one, bless him. Jokes aside, that really is what me and my friends talked about the most. Lance stole the show without even trying, he was that good.

CelticPredator posted:I just think the movie is neat That TV show won't taint your experience with that movie you like. They have the same high concept premise start thingy and that's about it. Also if you have these ideas of fandoms or things you read online from people preventing you from enjoying stuff, that doesn't seem like the way to go. I'm guessing you just don't feel like watching the show anyway so you have this bit going.

I don’t feel like watching the show, no. I also just found it funny that my brother and I watched this movie with no idea other than it’s the guy who did you’re next and the guest and we enjoyed it and the guy who loves the anime sat crossed armed and angry lol And they’re still angry.

Well, as a poster in the Godzilla thread, I think your friend's investment in that entertainment property sounds endearing and good. As for me and my friends, we didn't enjoy the Death Note Netflix movie much either, but we more kind of laughed about it. I do enjoy some of Adam's other moves, The Guest is fun for sure.

gently caress it, if we're going full stupid with this nonsense, I'll see the kaiju buddy cop film. Just do a giant monster movie version of the final fight from Lethal Weapon 4 and I'll be good. I mean, it'll still be bad, but so was Lethal Weapon 4.

This will be the first Godzilla film I intentionally skip in my life. I was pretty meh on GvK but dutifully went and saw it. This looks like a Kong movie with a special appearance by Godzilla. It also doubles down on the batshit absurdity of the previous film, which I didn’t like at all. Even as a popcorn flick, this is too much for me. Old man yells at cloud and all that but I don’t like how frenetic the franchise became. It’s just a video game cinematic now, which is a shame because Legendary’s original take in G’14 was pretty good.

I just wish there was something substantial to grasp onto, likable human characters or world building, something, but each of the Legendary films feels so shallow now and disconnected from any interesting narrative they could be pushing. I feel like the Hollow Earth was also a massive mistake visually. It's hard to be invested in the scale of the Titan's when there aren't any real world signifiers around. For example in this newest trailer the fight between Kong and Scar in the cave might as well be a scene from Planet of the Apes. They loose their sense of being massive.

I caught that they are using the "travel behind a kaiju to get down" scenario - it's by the waterfall and uses the same visuals. Potential time fuckery?

Yeah that’s the cardinal sin of the movie: you made Godzilla feel small. The only time you should ever attempt that is to highlight the sheer amount of destruction he’s caused (Shin did this to great effect). But, now, you have kaiju-sized amphitheaters with 200 foot-tall monkeys that, yes, looks like a normal thing for normal people to do. The cast, the plot, etc., can be overlooked as schlock but don’t rob Big G of the “big” part.
