I got Cure. I hope it lives up to Kurosawa’s previous work I watched, his cameo appearance as himself in Koji Shiraishi’s horror mockumentary Occult.

At some point a couple years ago did somebody at the Criterion office say, "hey, has anybody else noticed that we don't do movies with black people in them?" and now they're trying to make up for lost time?

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:Ex Machina is a good AI film, too. Automata is way better. Automata kinda hosed me up for other robot movies because the ideas it has about intelligent robots are so clever and immediately obviously way more realistic than how robots are depicted in most other sci-fi. It's like, if you're just doing a killer robot story or whatever fine but if you wanna make me think seriously about the emergence of intelligent machine life you need to bring ideas to the table as or more compelling than what Automata did. It's just a shame Automata is super loving boring.

Woodenlung posted:badly phrased, but that's what i meant with my first line. You gotta make time for Mobile Suit Gundam. It's genuinely an excellent series, holds up to modern standards with flying colors. And it's like a goddamn skeleton key for understanding the anime that came after. Gundam was so influential that once you've watched it you will see the legacy of Gundam in tons of anime that came after. Fun fact, at an event to promote the first Gundam movie two Gundam fans (who would both go on to become important figures in anime in their own right) cosplaying as Char and Lalah took to the stage and read a prepared statement in which they proclaimed that Gundam marked the beginning of a "New Century" of anime. Anime was no longer just mindless entertainment for children, it was serious stories that explored the breadth of human experience, and Gundam was the light that showed the way. Neon Genesis Evangelion's Japanese title is Shinseiki Evangelion. New Century Evangelion. The very title was a promise that Evangelion was an anime in the vein of Gundam! Listen to Hideaki Anno, the creator of Gunbuster, Evangelion, and Shin Godzilla, when he says

Kart Barfunkel posted:But which Gundam? Where do I go to watch it?Gundam seems so daunting. Mobile Suit Gundam. That's the first Gundam. There are arguments in favor of the TV series or the movie versions, but frankly either is fine. That's the historically important one and still one of the top shows in the franchise. The movies are on Netflix and were just added to Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9iRU93dLzo While that's the first Gundam, Many other excellent Gundam series are available, and most of them make excellent entry points to the franchise. The currently running Gundam series, Witch From Mercury, is bringing in a lot of new fans, as it requires no previous familiarity with the franchise and is the first Gundam series to have a queer protagonist. It's all on Youtube as well (watch the proglogue first, then episode 1 and so on) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YGW2JRxWUU

Nightmare Cinema posted:Alright fuckers let's make one thing clear: You start Gundam with a single alternate timeline one. Wing, G, whatever, pick your poison. That’s terrible advice. Mobile Suit Gundam -> Zeta -> ZZ -> Chars counterattack tell an ongoing story helmed by one creator, those need to be watched in order. But everything else came later and can be watched whenever. 0080 and 0083 especially are standalone side stories created by different people, you watch them by themselves just fine. And your experience with Zeta will not be richer for having seen them, because Zeta came first and wasn’t made for audiences that had seen those show because they didn’t exist yet! Victory and F91 are set decades after Chars Counterattack, don’t continue any of the plot or character threads from it, and function as essentially standalone entries. They are also both rather polarizing so making them part of some “must watch” list will do nothing but put off a bunch of people. Unicorn functions perfectly well as an entry point as it was created in part to get new fans interested in the older shows. If anything, people who haven’t seen the older shows yet end up liking Unicorn more than older fans because they don’t see how it’s retreading old ground.

Origami Dali posted:If I haven't seen any Ozu, can I just start anywhere, or should I go chronologically? I know some films are thematically linked but not exactly sequels, and there's two versions of Floating Weeds. Is there a recommended film as an introduction? I don’t think you can go chronologically, I thought some of his early movies were lost. Because of the war.

On-Gaku is so fun. I've never seen a movie about the joy of music that comes down so strongly on the idea that you never ever have to get good, or even try to get good, to enjoy making music.

I’m not sure why Criterion Collection decided to include as the last movie in their Jackie Chan collection a movie that has ten minutes of Jackie Chan in the beginning an then becomes a boner comedy starring five guys who aren’t Jackie Chan.

Cemetry Gator posted:Yeah, and I’m guessing the rights situation is just very weird overall. Definitely of the 3 Lucky Stars films, Criterion got the best one for Jackie Chan, since he actually gets some pretty good action sequences. The best part of the set is the long fight at the end of Half a Loaf of Kung Fu. There are so many action gags in it, it's amazing.
