Movies You Have Seen Lately

I saw Mystery Men on TV a few nights ago. I'd never even heard of it before. It may be the first thing with Ben Stiller in that I actually liked, although I didn't particularly like him, but I thought William H. Macy was awesome as usual.

 

Oh, and I think Tonari no Totoro is probably the best children's movie ever made, although Mononokehime was good, too. :(

Japanese.

 

I don't think it really matters though. Not with Miyazaki at least, since the dubs are really professional. In contrast, most people have watched the highly praised Otomo's Akira film adaptation with English dubs. I tried that and thought they were horrendous. Miyazaki's movies are so popular in the West that they get great voice talent to work with in the subs. Everyone knows the movies are a huge cash cow and the effort put into dubs reflects that.

I'm pretty sure the dubbed version has a (ever-so-slightly) different script, just from watching it back-to-back in English and then Japanese ... certainly I like the way Japanese say "Yessir" / "Ma'am" / "Of course" / "Without Delay" / etc ... what is that utterance

Yesterday I watched Cowboy Bebop: Knocking at Heaven's Door (or something).

 

One question... Is Edo a retard?

She's a young girl on a Japanese animated television show. She could be a theoretical physicist and you wouldn't be able to tell.

 

BLADE RUNNAR. It's the version with Deckard's VO. I don't remember if that's the good version or the bad version.

The Thin Red Line

 

Two things I always feel when watching this movie.

 

Sadness for Jim Cavaziel, and contempt for Nick Nolte.

 

 

One of my favorites movies.

 

I just watched another of my favorites, Pale Rider.

People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.

Oh, that Descent was okay then? I saw it and thought I wouldn't risk it.

 

 

I thought it was ok. Pretty creepy. :p

 

 

The Descent blew me away.

 

Not that it was the bestest movie evar but rather because it was surprisingly good.

Unknown cast, unknown director and not from Hollywood(should've been a clue, I know...).

Over here most theaters are properties of major Hollywood studios and even Canadian films have a hard time getting enough screens, so this film was a little gem.

 

It's very creepy, jump inducing chlostrophia-ish with lots of gore. Who would've thought such mature, beautiful and smart women(not a male in sight except for the baddies) could be so violent and sadistic. :aiee:

Is the Descent based on that sweet PC game where you fly your slick spaceship through mine tunnels and blow up their reactors?

 

Because if it is, I'm so there.

 

Unfortunately it is not based on the "sweet PC game."

 

Too bad. :huh:

baby, take off your beret

Tais-toi! - I've seen worse.

 

Fritz The Cat - Crumb hated it, of course; it ain't half bad: Why does a great actor like James Earl Jones always have to play black men?

 

Watership Down - Very nice; still, it somehow reminded me of:

Oh, and Drabs, The Descent is about a bunch of vulvae who get stuck in a cave. Hilarity ensues.
