Gyah, ninja'd :p. Unfortuneatly i only saw the middle of that film during film4's Ghibli season, i enjoyed what i saw though. Grave of the Fireflies is my favorite ghibli by far though. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 851 Joined: 30 Jul 2008   | The top 3 of my list: (IMO the 3 cult film that defines our generation) Battle Royale I've never seen Star Wars before, though everyone assumes I have. I'm watching the original trilogy on PSP this week, will watch the prequel trilogy later. Funny thing is when I'm watching it, I already know just about every bit of the film, it feels like I've seen this film so many times before. I know all of the details of the plot, like the astroid is a monster, and Yoda lifting the X wing with the force. Thanks to all the Star Wars games I know all the characteristics of al the fighters and weapons as well...... It's scary. |

You can skip the prequels...it's not like they even exist or anything... |

And knowing my luck after spending all this time making my point he probably is oblivious to its existence haha. |
Honorable Mention: Escapist Film Festival  Posts: 343 Joined: 11 Nov 2008   | Are you saying you are bemused by the fact that I haven't seen the Aviator, Get Carter, and my personal favorite, Inglorious Bastards...a movie that isn't even out yet? WTF is this thread? |

ooooook, I've said i gotta remove some, stating that i just started adding everyones suggestions before realizing that they all aren't really essentials... And the new Inglorious Bastards coming out is actually a remake... Wish people weren't so bloody critical sometimes... |

Let's be honest, anyone who wants to see that more than once is probably mentally unstable. |

I own it, and have multiple diagnoses from a half dozen psychiatrists and psychologists in a decade of treatment, yes. My 'crazy' friends like it, most of my 'normal' friends don't. I don't watch the whole movie anymore, by myself, just the big 2 scenes that earned the movie it's notoriety. So, while I might have said something about there being artistic and technical merit that stands out on a second view, your statement is not inaccurate. User was banned for: Ballad (?) of an ex-goth.

What about the original Radio shows? I got them all on CD, they make me happy. |
Time Lord Posts: 10078 Joined: 13 Feb 2008 |
Ah, the radio and even the TV shows count but the only good thing about the film is Stephen Fry as the book imho. |
