I Have Just Seen... IV -

:

You haven't seen Cowboy Bebop? I thought you were the second biggest anime fan on this whole forum, and that's supposed to be, like, the anime.

It's one of the anime in the west sure. I've never really cared about those sorts of things though.

:

Is Neon Genesis Evangelion any good? I remember watching that when I was younger and I thought the opening theme was good. The series was a bit depressing from what I saw.

It's the most overhyped thing in the world. I didn't think it was anything exceptional, but the sequel movie End of Evangelion is a masterpiece. Well worth seeing A just to experience B.

:

and anyone who hasn't seen it has no right to call themselves an anime fan.

It's definitely on the list, but I tend to prioritize genres I like compared to must see stuff. I will get round to it though, that and GITS.

Watched Bullet Boy in Meda. Not a bad film, but not really my sort of thing.

Last Night I went to see Trailer Park Boys live!

Me and my dad went to see it in Wellington at The Opera House, I love that show.

After they finished they announced a new television program that they're going to be in, it's going to air in New Zealand soon as well.

Also The guy who does Bubbles revealed his natural voice, I was quite surprised at that too.

Saw Drive a few days ago. Very well directed and shot movie with a great cast and loads of blood-pumping intensity. Recommended.

Nepsotic · #**1118** 03-31-2012, 03:52 AM

Watched the Troll Hunter. Absolutely brilliant, but a bit far-fetched.

MeechMunchie · #**1119** 03-31-2012, 05:44 AM

Why? Because it had trolls in it?

Varrok · #**1120** 03-31-2012, 05:51 AM

I don't remember Nepsotic calling OWF "Absolutely brilliant" or "far-fetched", so probably not because of that

I watched some old-ish animes. And by some I mean two.
Berserk and Akira.
Akira had surprisingly incredible graphics and detail. The animation was so smooth and fluent, it was really satisfying. The story was very misleading. Tetsuo gradually takes over Kaneda's role of the main character and villian. It was cool watching him destroy shit, but other than that, it was pretty hard to follow the messed up story. There were bits and pieces everywhere and a lot of stuff they didn't explain from the manga.

Berserk's animation is a bit half-asked and half baked. It's storyline is what makes it great though. It's simply amazing. The characters are very likeable and you get to know each and every one of them over to 25 episodes. I've only watched 19 so far though. I'd recommend these 2 animes for anyone looking.

Akira is the absolute best. It scared the shit out of me when my dad made me watch it when I was little, but still completely impressive.

Also, read the Berserk manga. Miura is a fucking incredible artist and it's an extremely engrossing, ongoing epic of a series. Berserk is my favourite anime or manga or whatever.
Also, they're working on a movie series to cover EVERYTHING that's happened in said Manga, which is a whole fucking lot. So keep your ear to the ground for that.

Crashpunk · #**1123** 03-31-2012, 09:35 AM

Saw Attack the Block and oh my god it was amazing. I thought I really wouldn't like it but I was so wrong. It's so funny in parts and the design of the aliens were really cool.

:

Dogs? What kind of dogs those? Dogs with no eyes? Dogs the size of gorillas? You think them things are dogs? Go out there and try feeding them some Pedigree Chum! They're ALIENS, luv!

Yes. You just don't really see them in films anymore, thats why. And I want to get Attack the Block, looks great, maybe a bit far fetched though.

Dynamithix · #**1125** 04-01-2012, 01:27 PM

I watched The Infidel, a movie where a Muslim finds out that he's actually Jewish, with my dad yesterday. I thought it was really funny.

Strike Witch · #**1126** 04-01-2012, 02:54 PM

I watched Hayate no Gotoku: Heaven is a Place on Earth. It's a standalone film for a long-running manga series I'm a fan off. It wasn't cluttered or nonsensical or anything, just a really nice film. Relaxing, even.

Nepsotic · #**1127** 04-01-2012, 03:26 PM

I never thought that anime and manga could be relaxing, but maybe thats because I watch too much Fist of the North Star.

Mr. Bungle · #**1128** 04-01-2012, 04:01 PM

Found season 3 of The Simpsons for $10 at a pawn shop. Been watching that lately. It's probably one of the weaker seasons of the glory days, but it's still very, very good. Some of my favourite episodes are on it, too. And who could forget about the Land of Chocolate?

Also got the first season of My Name is Earl on DVD for trading a few old N64 games. Great series until it started getting overly dumb.

Nepsotic · #**1129** 04-01-2012, 04:27 PM

Loads of (brand) new Dr Who DVD's for trading in old PSP games!

watched Sorority Row. what a stupid pile of wannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnk. i can't stress that enough. just watch it so you can join me in knowing how fucking shit it is. oh god just watch it. you will be amazed by it's mediocrity. it's not even mediocre, it's just fucking OH JUST WATCH IT

Mr. Bungle · #**1131** 04-01-2012, 08:51 PM

No way anyone could make me watch that pile of shit ever again. Serious contendor for worst horror movie. It's not even bad in a good way, like so many others. It's just downright bad.

Strike Witch · #**1132** 04-02-2012, 02:48 AM

First ep of the second season of Game of Thrones.

Back to business. So much sex and violence, seriously.

MeechMunchie · #**1133** 04-02-2012, 03:51 AM

Hayate no Gotoku

I know what that is. I have read some of it.

I just feel the need to update everybody on every growth of the "Meech&Ghost" section of this horrible, horrible Venn diagram.

I saw an advert for it on channel 3 or (after Celebrity Juice

) and the woman announcer guy for ITV actually said, and I quote: "you see your first naked lady about three minutes in, so ya know what film it is, enjoy it." I might've looked forward to it until the word "horror" was mentioned. Because it does sound like the shittiest horror film ever made.

you did WHAT?!

Dynamithix · #**1137** 04-02-2012, 11:15 AM

I thought My Name is Earl was overly dumb from the beginning.

Mr. Bungle · #**1138** 04-02-2012, 11:42 AM

Oh... I always liked it. Thought it was a funny show with some really good writing.

It got stupid later on, but I find the first season really great.

I also got it with 3 vinyl records, so it was worth trading the N64 games for it.

Yeah, like family guy XD

Mr. Bungle · #**1140** 04-02-2012, 03:27 PM

Don't even compare it to current Family Guy, that shit's awful.

The first 3 Family Guy seasons are pretty great though.

FUCK THE HATERS
