Re:Anime Meme
By firegiver in Anime Lovers

Streaming from my PC to my LCD TV.• Who is your favourite auteur? Miyazaki... duh • Your favourite OST? I really don't know, There was that Magical mermaid series and I thought that opening song was pretty hilarious. • What is the most difficult anime you’ve ever watched? Pokemon.... it sucks. Say what you want, attack me all day long fanboys. I don't care, that stuff is just as crappy as the He-man i grew up watching. • What was the first anime you remember watching? I got Akira on VHS for free from a Pick-a-flick that closed down near my University. Waay back in 98 my freshmen year. But I think the first one I ever watched was G ... " [More]

Adaptation

Re:Sci Fi Recommendations

"[quote user="mciocco"] [quote user="Risselada"] [quote user="firegiver"] I really enjoyed Primer and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for movies that were in a similar vein. Thanks :) [/quote] I haven't actually seen it, but I heard this Spanish movie Timecrimes deals with a lot of similar types of ideas. [/quote] Timecrimes is definitely a great movie and well worth a watch if you like Primer. The time travel concept is a little more basic and easier to follow in Timecrimes, but it still works really well. I remember when Primer was showing at a local film fest, the buzz was that it was "the next Pi" (Pi isn't a time travel story, but it's an artsy math/paranoia movie - the first directed by Darren Aronofsky) If you liked Primer, I'd imagine you'd also like the storytelling of Charlie Kaufman (i.e. stuff like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or Adaptation), though we're starting to get away from SF now... [/quote] Excellent suggtestions guys. I have seen Etern ... " [More]

Re:Sci Fi Recommendations

"[quote user="rjsprague"] [quote user="firegiver"] [quote user="rjsprague"] I'm in the mood for something with a steampunk theme! Are there even any movies that are steampunk? [/quote] The piano tuner of earthquakes. Yes its out there but its definitely steampunk, most steampunk movie ive ever seen. [/quote] Thanks. I've added it to my "Want to see it" list. [/quote] no problem, also i should clarify that the reason this movie is steam punk is because of all the machines that run on cogs and springs. Its a weird movie but I enjoyed it the story and the atmosphere of it a lot. " [More]
