Kinda thought Shirow was an original otaku. Like, he had palettes of food in one big room in his high-rise, then he had a bedroom full of easels, sketchbooks, fanmail both angry and angering and a big mattress with a VR helm resting on the pillow. Maybe a kitchenette/bathroom. IIRC, he communicated to Oshii mostly through emails, storyboards, other key input.

If only we could pair those two up again with the budget this one is obviously getting...loving hell we'd have the first good adult cartoon in the last decade.

Also, Snow White and the Huntsman deserves a mention here because it's Hollywood at its worst. They have some world-famous, time-tested award-winning actors who play dwarves and then Bad Ellen Page gets all of the dialogue. Also they straight up ripped off the Deer God scene in Princess Mononoke. It's a hard movie to watch. Try it if you don't believe me.

Kristen Stewart's and Ellen Page's personas, acting styles, and physical appearances are nothing alike. I guess they're both brunettes?

Edit: Also my opinion of Max Landis is directly proportional to how blatantly annoying he is. He's like real life Leto's Joker.

Sorry my one-off offended you. I would add that Kristen Stewart does not have a persona, because that implies having a personality at all. But thank you for pointing out this revelation in a thread about cyborgs.

She's a vapid bitch.

Have you rewatched The Matrix in the last 10 years? They can not make good movies.

The Matrix and Bound are both pretty good.

I still don't get how Lucy made so much money. I haven't seen it and I know people here like it ironically or semi ironically, but I pride myself on having extremely unrefined taste and it just looked lame to me. What about it pulled in Joe Sixpack or his East Asian equivalent?

To be clear: if you purchase a blu-ray copy of the 1995 Ghost In The Shell that you watch unsubbed because you speak fluent Japanese, because you live in Japan, because you are Japanese, that is still not ethical consumption.

Correct, unless you're Ainu.

I don't really grasp the appeal of GiTS 95 to be honest. I do like Major's design. I guess I'm into icy androgynous muscle girls?

More white people got pissed than Asians did about a white lead in this. :lol:

Well, there are way more white people than Asian people in the USA.
