The Godzilla Anime is extremely front-loaded with bland political drama and character dynamics, and it juggling too much for its own good. Characters are ceremoniously killed off/sacrifice themselves, but it ring hollow because we never get a feel for any of the characters beyond the main two, none of them are introduced or given anything interesting to do. The idea for the new Godzilla is cool and the back half-hour has some fun action, but you gotta slog through a lot of bullshit to get to it.Inspector Hound posted:I believe "farm porn" may already be taken.

Junkie Disease posted:Contamination on prime is a masterpiece of crap Contamination, the Italian Alien knockoff, right? That movie rules because it asks itself how to top the chestburster from Alien and answers with entire human bodies exploding.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:People that do this and the podcast thing are out of their loving minds. We basically ran FitFortDanga out of town on a rail when he confessed to rewatching movies at 1.5x speed, that we’re seeing people earnestly recommending it as a way to enjoy art is mind-boggling. Metal Geir Skogul posted:Are you also angry when a musician plays a song more quickly than a beginner? Or when someone runs to work instead of walks? Or when someone drives 70 to work instead of 65? It's their life. There’s a difference between, say, listening to Wire’s 2-minute version of 1 2 X U at 2x speed and Minor Threat’s 1-minute version of the same song. Namely, Minor Threat’s version sounds faster and more energetic while the modified original version would sound like the loving Chipmunks. Art is made to be experienced in a certain way, and to rush through it is dumb as hell.

Nihonniboku posted:I mean, what are you watching, CBS? Filler TV absolutely still exists, it just takes the form of long shots, monologues every episode, or characters delivering lines slowly and not trading lines quickly. Yes, even modern prestige tv.

Basebf555 posted:That's really not the same as filler though. Long shots are nice to look at, they're aesthetically pleasing and so they have a function other than just filling up time. Monologues(good ones at least) are entertaining and provide good character moments, and lines delivered slowly are often delivered that way for dramatic purposes. So to watch those things on 1.5 speed would be to lessen the impact their intended to have, which again, is about more than just filling time. What about a show like Better Call Saul where it’s both?   I like BCS, but I feel like so much of its runtime is dedicated to these things which technically aren’t filler, but they don’t do much to push story and character forward, and maintain a holding pattern. The Walking Dead (at least the 1.5 seasons I watched) was WAY worse about it, and something like Daredevil’s first season wouldn’t technically have filler but it’s also twice as long as it needs to be. Peep Show has it right, six episodes a season.

Hayao Miyazaki’s first movie, Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro, is on Netflix. It’s nothing like Spirited Away or My Neighbor Totoro, but it’s a really fun, goofy, slick anime heist flick. If that sounds like it’s up your alley, I’d highly recommend it.

Ugly In The Morning posted:If I have a low tolerance for anime weirdness, will I still like it? Yes. There’s not much cheesecake beyond Lupin being a mild womanizer, and the fights are more cartoonish than big dumb “anime” fights, and it’s a pretty straightforward story.

Maxwell Lord posted:Yeah it's annoying that Prime has some obscure B-movies but absolutely no loving standards for picture quality/sound quality/completeness/etc. I watched Master of the Flying Guillotine awhile ago, and the dubbing was in two different languages, and would switch from English to the other language at random, sometimes mid-line.
