once every couple of months a theater near me will do late night showings of classic animu films, normie tier stuff like akira and miyazaki, but still fun to see them on tha BIG SCREEN again

i went with some friends to see their spirited away showing, and a few rows back from us there was this guy

every time something fantastic or whimsical happened, like yubaba turning into her bird form or seeing pig parents, in a loud and nasally voice he would say things like

"OKAYyyy...."

"well THAT just happened"

"Wowwwwwwwww"

he murdered comedy, and to this day i regret not turning around and telling him to shut the gently caress up

I love Mystery Science Theater 3000

But

It's hard to deny that it has had a toxic influence on nerds

I found the posts, in the old Nise thread when a guy asked about the toothbrush scene

quote:

Hmm. Interesting responses. I suspect my worries are finding validation.

I'm feeling pretty down in my life right now, and as a result I've begun to feel down about the state of the world. So, should I watch the first episode of this, or should I instead watch the Republican debate tonight? I don't think I can even predict which will be worse. Perhaps others can.

Namtab posted:

13:30 - far shot of satsuki hanging in the cage
13:34 - shot of satsuki’s feet, ragged and hanging, Ragyo laughing. Panning up to Satsuki’s face until 13:43, without pausing to stare at her boobs like so many other animes
13:43 - close-up of Satsuki’s face (look of rage at 13:53)
13:54 - Looking at Ragyo talking to Satsuki
13:58 - medium-far shot of Satsuki, her body is darkened rather than well-lit. Ragyo gloating
14:11 - beginning of bad touch scene. The lighting of Ragyo is bright, the lighting on Satsuki is dark, guiding the eye to Ragyo, not Satsuki.
14:21 - Four second butt shot
14:25 - Close-up of a look of rage on Satsuki’s face
14:29 - Close-up of Ragyo’s face. Gloating.
14:36 - shot panning downwards from above Satuki’s face to her face. Seven seconds. No cleavage.
14:43 to 15:39 - Backstory.
15:40 - Far panning shot of cage.
15:56 - Butt slap.
15:57 - Shot of Ragyo and Satsuki’s face. This time, the lighting is on Satsuki.
16:03 - Closeup of Satsuki’s face into a close-up of Ragyo’s face. Still enraged / still gloating
16:09 - Shot of Satsuki’s legs from halfway down her thighs and panning downwards.
16:17 - Backwards shot of a bad touch sweeping down from Satsuki’s chest down to her behind.
16:28 - From Satsuki’s face into Ragyo’s face.
16:36 - Butt slap.
16:37 - Far shot of cage. Dark. More butt slaps and Ragyo emphasizing how much she wants Satsuki to hate her.
16:40 - Close up of faces. Butt slaps continue.
16:44 - Satsuki’s face, still mad. Still slapping. Maniacal laughter from Ragyo.
16:51 - End of the scene.

Let's recap -
lots of exposition
no lingering on boobs
lighting that deliberately de-emphasized Satsuki's body
lots of focus on the faces
fostering Satsuki's anger made a part of the conversation deliberately

If you think they spent a bunch of time on Satsuki's body you were paying attention to the wrong loving thing and you're using disgust to justify voyeurism. The scene wasn't fanservice. God drat.

Having rewatched Jigen Daisuke's Gravestone tonight I can say that hell, I liked it even better the second time around and when I first watched it, it was already one of my favorite Lupin things in awhile!

Sep 11, 2011

The folks who made the Jigen movie put so much attention into so many tiny details, it's rad as hell. They really thought about body language for pretty much every scene.

I wish the Jigen episode in the new series was good but it has a bit of a lame ending.

It was gonna be hard no matter what because of Jigen's Gravestone, but dang I don't like the way it ended.

Oh, cool, thanks. Will the subs be limited in any way as the series progresses, or does that mean it just takes a bit longer for the subs to come out?

Hasn't been licensed so no telling when the fansubs for each episode will hit, but it does look like there are a few folks out there that will continue working on it so that's something.

Srice
Sep 11, 2011

There are literally over a dozen episodes of the new Lupin show unsubbed, because Italian anime nerds are probably spending freetime on productive things and their personal instead of providing me with translations of the Italian dub.

It's hosed up.

Also speaking of him I keep wondering if he's waiting for page...75 I think it was? Of the Madoka thread so that the mod challenge no longer applies. That would be amazing, in a way.

It was a show going in a direction where it felt the writers just cared too much about everyone and wanted them to succeed at everything

Which is good as a person, but not necessarily as a writer.

The animation is really good in it so far, there was a cut where a nameless pilot ejects out of his big robot into an escape pod that has a lil laser gun and he goes after the thing that took him down shadow of the collosus stle, flying all around it while it rotates trying to track him.

Very short cut but a pretty impressive one.

Gonna look forward to seeing that shot, sounds v nice

also does anyone know anything about PCs

I want a decent gaming one (nothing super powerful just 'can play recent games on mid settings at a good fps') but every pre-built one has like 30 1-star 'belched fire and ate my cat' reviews and i dont know how you'd even go about building one.

id probably want a pre-built one just for convenience's sake

I know it sounds like a terrible idea in theory but I have a friend who recently wound up getting a Dell and customizing it on their site, since some models have a bunch of different options.

He definitely knows how to build a computer because he builds and codes computer stuff for a living, but he told me that he got a good enough deal that the savings from building one wouldn't have been worth the hassle.
