Gaz2k21 posted:The other was the scene in Akira at the end where that dude mutates and some chick gets crushed in his body, the way she just disappears into a pool of blood freaked me out. That movie was pretty   for a kid. First was the scene with Kaori getting her top ripped off and punched. Wtf was that? Cartoon titties? Then Kaneda has his first big freakout and dreams he's dropping his viscera everywhere. I have no idea why, but the scene with the Bunyip from Dot and the Kangaroo was loving terrifying to me at 4.

It was a big cannon with HST's signature double-thumbed fist at the top, which launched his ashes out of the hole at the center. I imagine much of that was spent paying the engineering, fabrication, permits and for the after party.

There was a lot of terrorism undercurrent at the beginning of the zombie craze.

Can I just say how much I disliked the line in the trailer for USGitS where someone says that Kusanagi is the first of her kind? Maybe I caught it wrong and they're directing that to the Puppet master, but if they make her some kind of super unique trailblazing cyberwoman it just loses so much of what made the world cool.

The last few months I've been thinking of that 90s Lost in Space remake film. Imagine my surprise when it popped up on Hulu or Netflix or something. How the gently caress did that get released? Literally nothing for Lacey Chabert to do. Hardly anything for Heather Graham either. And they wasted Gary Oldman's Dr. Smith evil guy climax by making him an unrecognizable CGI mishmash. His 'I am. A. GOD" speech is laughable.

In the old series they're one part ancient lifeform, a dash of 'what has science wrought by its perversion of the natural order'. Then they start running out of ideas and it's all 'yeah this is a super robot we built off of the remains of an Area 51 timedrone and also we forgot to scan for life and this apex bacteria merged with the Godzilla Cells we were cloning to find a cure for Cancer and now we have to send the robot in to fight the TimeGermX.'

raditts posted:There was a Golgo-13 series? I just remember in the '90s there was an animated movie that was good and then there was another one that was not so good. Golgo 13 the 2000s anime is pretty fun. It's somewhat like an assassin Columbo, where he's given an impossible mission or some crazy complicated contract and he has to find a way to complete it. He usually drops a gun off to be modified by his weapons guy and runs off to find someone to gently caress in the hour or two he has. There's one contract where he has to snipe a billionaire on his bulletproof floating hedonism fortress and iirc Golgo bounces a bullet off of a wave to get the right angle. quote:How do these two things compare to one another at all?

It was intentionally done and a completely incompetent move by the writers because it ignored what we had as the established rules of the setting. Since the Nebuchadnezzar crew are schlubs in the real world, and powerful in The Matrix because they perceive it as a simulacrum, it's only rational to think that Neo's manifested power points to something off in the real world. Double that when Smith is able to mindjack someone. Then the explanation is some faff about The One's Power Extends Beyond the Matrix. Like gently caress, even the dumb "Neo's bodyports are like WiFi!" theories had more weight to them.

Neo Rasa posted:I do remember them saying they had some ideas for *one* sequel to conclude the story before it got so huge it became a trilogy, maybe that would have turned out better than two sequels. Plus from there you have Literal Machine God in a dinky MMO so you paint yourself the gently caress into a corner. Snowman_McK posted:I feel like I'm missing something. Isn't that just a poetic way of saying Neo is like Wifi? I suppose the problem I have is that the ~intention~ completely mishandles the world we've been presented that it just ends up doing a disservice to the story, with an explanation that is literally summed up as We Wrote Something Cool to End With But Don't Think of the How too Much. Reloaded basically tells us Neo isn't Machine Jesus as much as he's a Debugger Script. He then violates the laws of the universe and we're told that just happens sometimes because he's The One. When you consider this in light of how much information is given to establish the setting in the original, it just feels like lazy writing.

Groovelord Neato posted:not to mention how bad the burly brawl looks (and how it's one of those action scenes just for the sake of having an action scene) despite having sick music. The work done with the Smith faceswapping is good enough for the time, but the digital actors parts are horrendous. all the work they put in making the Bullet Dodge work as an optical effect was supplanted by computers in just a few years, which is pretty impressive when you think about it. But the work behind Neo's Dodge was really revolutionary on a technical level, and it was used magnificently as a narrative device in the film. Similarly, Trinity's fly jump at the start of the movie was so engaging that I think it hooked a bunch of people.

When Tommy begins having strange visions of Albino children and a strange underground complex, Kenny makes contact with a rogue reporter and the two discovers an insidious plan with a connection to the secretive Active Kinesis in Receptive Adolescents group. With time running out, Kenny must commandeer a prototype smart bike to escape the Kinder and save his friend from project AKiRA.

Casimir Radon posted:What's the thread consensus on Power Rangers anyway? Some of the reviews of seen say it's too moody and doesn't spend enough time being fun. Remember how TMNT 90 had that big stretch in the middle where the team needs to Find Their Way (complete with bonding over a fire pit)? That's pretty much the tone 3/4 of the movie has. The actual ranger suit parts aren't as good, and by then the movie definitely seems rushed. They fight a Putty horde and jump into the zords, but man do the zords feel pretty good (even if they look like TF concept art). Jason is written as the core of the film, but Billy by and large runs away with the film.
