MrSinister:
You have missed the point completely.

There is a thread for anime languishing because of lack of activity.

You are proving to be an exception in a bad way.

keep Crying

MrSinister:
This is a public forum, it won't be bad if there is order and things are placed in their proper place. Something you seem not to know.

things are in their right place.

I posted about an animated series in the series thread

If you don't like it, you can keep crying

MrSinister:
But why abandon the thread meant for such content?

and how is it your business where I post my content?

MrSinister:
You abandoned the anime thread to be posting related content here. Na wa o!

series na series

Anybody following Bleach TYBW?

These new captains are weak af...
How did these guys get promoted to captain wtf...

One superstar clown took out two captains easily...
It's like Soul Society gets weaker with each passing generation...

Glad to see people like Rukia and Renji step up

SOZINN:
I'm not even going to lie that I expected this movie to be good.

I have no interest in seeing this movie

It was obvious that it was gonna be the usual generic action thriller jumping around exotic locations with no serious plot...

These are the kind of movies that AI will have no problem writing

A fish called Wanda (1988)


Don't know how but these classic movies are more fun to watch than most recent Hollywood movies

Lolita (1997)


I don't know what to rate this classic pèdophilia movie.
I know it's the second adaptation of a controversial book.

If you can't already guess from the title...it's a story about an adult man who became obsessed with a 14 years old girl

I'm not sure what exactly is the message here but I enjoyed the movie even though I felt really uncomfortable at times

Digital is always a chance to reflect changes in directional choice

The differences I've seen so far are very minor

I'm pretty sure they'll still release the Theatrical cut later

Ishilove:
I was using the term 'character arc' to represent transformation. More power made him more evil, more vengeful and more destructive, so destructive that the Spider Society recognized him as a serious threat. He essentially moved from one end of the spectrum of evil to the other end

fair enough...
If this is what you meant...then no p

Ishilove:
Oh, but Spot does. He started out as a vengeful, polite, bumbling, wanna be robber that feels insulted that Spiderman is picking phone calls and texting during their first fight. He even tells the store owner not to make his first robbery "an unpleasant experience". He is a joke that no one takes seriously at first. Heck, Myles even noted "he literally kicked his own ass" and disappeared into one of his own holes. But as the movie progresses, he becomes more and more malevolent until he comes this fearful, absolutely monstrous entity that brings shivers down your spine. Myles eventually had to acknowledge that Spot is his nemesis (this was after he laughed in the villain's face when he initially this statement). Even his appearance changed from the cheerful polkadot to this dark, almost formless thing.

That, my friend, is one heck of a transformation.

that is not really a character arc...

It's simply a case of a villain obtaining more powers...

A character arc is an inner/outer journey of a character where the character develops as a result of various events they experience

Spot as a character did not face any inner obstacle. Right from when Miles met him, he always hated Miles and blamed Miles for destroying his life and his goal was to take revenge on Miles...

He simply acquired more powers to achieve his goal...nothing else changed in Spot...

It was because he became more powerful that Miles began to take him seriously...

That is not really a character arc...that is just a villain obtaining more powers to achieve his goal

Except you're just trying to use the phrase "character arc" in its loosest sense

Calibrator:
Across the Spiderverse be looking like a colour riot at times.... I pity those who have issues with comprehending motions with flashing color lights.


All in all, an enjoyable watch.


Can't wait for the concluding part(s).

that animation can easily cause seizures...

Yesterday at a point I had to take my eyes off it...

I'm not a fan of the animation style at all

Ishilove:
Spiderman: Across The Spiderverse

Wow. Just wow. The storyline, unique animation style, the music, humour, action sequences and character arc of the main villain makes this a masterpiece. I can't believe it is even more interesting than the first movie.


4.5 stars biko. I'm going to watch it again tomorrow

which villain?

Spot has no character arc tho

Miguel isn't a villain...more of an Antagonist imo...


And so far I support him...unless proven otherwise...
He's acting rationally so far...
His methods may not be the best but he's rational, while Miles is emotional...

Of course, that's not to say that Miles is not understandable. Miles is doing what anyone in his shoes would do...
Attempt to see if you could save both his father and his universe...
Even though so far he doesn't seem to have a plan...he chose to at least not give up

Watching Lolita.
Is there no uncensored version?

pu7pl3:
Batman & Superman: Battle of the super sons.

Loved the animation style on this one, they could use this or improve on it a bit and they'll strike Gold.

this animation looks ugly bro

Looks like some low budget PS1 CGI

Across the Spider-verse 9/10


*Almost no spoilers....

This movie and Everything Everywhere All At Once are the best multiverse movies.

They are the only two instances where I've seen a multiverse explored well

While Into The Spiderverse was a good movie, the story carried but the multiverse concept to the extent it was used there was outright terrible.

Across the Spiderverse took a terrible concept and made a gem out of it. The story actually had stakes which is super rare for a movie using this concept


However the best part of the movie is still the characters and their conflicts...both their personal conflicts and worldview
Miles Morales chose to save his father even though the choice might Doom his universe. Unlike others, he doesn't want to give up on the chance that he could somehow save both...

It's also easy to understand Miguel's position. He believes a sacrifice has to be made to achieve the greater good. You can see where he is coming from:
The Life of one man Vs The Fate of an entire universe...

You cannot say Miguel is wrong...neither can you say he is right due to his methods

I hope they keep his motivations intact in the final movie...I wouldn't like it if they came up with some lame secret agenda for Miguel...

A Fish Called Wanda 🎣 (1988)

80's slapstick gold 🏅

This is one of the most prime example of a flick where the cast, script and direction are in such a perfectly good sync. It is a blend of British and American finest humour. A Fish Called Wanda is a heist movie like no other that affirms the notion that, anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.

Written by John Cleese of the Monty Python fame, the movie is grounded in fun and laughter that is down to the witty script that plunges the characters into unsuspecting events that reeks of comic gag hall of fame.

John Cleese also stars with a performance full of awkward but ridiculously funny moments as its full of humanity as well, but special praise goes to the 3 main supporting cast. Kevin Kline delivers a slapstick comedic gem that is flawless and outside of time, so so good, he duly got an Oscar for the role, Jamie Lee Curtis is the main woman, charming performance, her been a sex symbol enigma in the 80's means the movie is surprisingly, a little bit erotic lol 😅🍆🍳, and finally Micheal Palin of the Monty Python fame as well, plays an animal loving stutterer, and these traits provides the flick's most hilarious running gag.


They don't make them like this anymore, A delightful, light, and ridiculously funny movie with a lot of heart. These elements aligned so so perfectly.

8/10.

wow, this movie grossed more than 20x it's budget...

Critical Drinker was right...modern movies are too expensive

Anyway, I love some classics...
Definitely adding this to my watchlist

Poor media literacy is a serious problem...

I just watched the latest Jujutsu Kaisen episode
I later saw a few people comments complaining about how everything was solved despite Riko's death because it was revealed that there was probably another vessel or some other measure and thus the Jujutsu world survives

I think people missed the entire point of this. The episode is focused on Geto's descent and how he questioned the entire purpose of being a sorcerer in Jujutsu High

Riko's death meaning nothing adds to Geto's conflict about his job. How the current Jujutsu world hyped up Riko's importance to the extent that she was willing to sacrifice her life for it's survival...and a hit was even put out for her assassination...

Yet it all meant nothing...her life that was put on the line to retain the Jujutsu world to save regular humans meant nothing in the end...

This was one of the many scenes that made Hero question his purpose. It haunted him... especially the clapping and celebration by the Star group at the death of Riko. He couldn't get it out of his head.

Geto went from someone who had so much faith in the world that he was even the one trying to convince a carefree Gojo about the grand purpose of saving regular humans.....to Geto now having a goal to stop the deaths of his comrades and fellow sorcerers who die worthlessly trying to save regular humans...

He values Jujutsu sorcerers above all else

It now makes more sense why he spared Panda and the other Jujutsu sorcerers in Jujutsu Kaisen movie 0

Just seen the interstellar.

I don't even understand the message the movie is trying to pass.


Martian.. Up next.


I wan see all Christopher Nolan's work

Interstellar wasn't that hard to understand...
Maybe you didn't watch it carefully...

You should always give full concentration when watching Christopher Nolan's movies

Is manga another series where gon and killua dey ni. I'm confused o

manga means japanese comics...

Most anime are adapted from manga (japanese comics)

Hunter X Hunter has a manga where the anime is adapted from...same as how Naruto has a manga and Attack on Titan too
