HA. La Blue Girl is pretty messed up. But it's some of the better hentai you'll find outside of Legend of the Overfiend.
The AKIRA live-action movie is a travesty. You don't take the second best animated movie of all time and re-make it as a live action movie when one of the main reasons it was so great was the quality of the animation. That's like taking Russian Ark and remaking it as a photomontage.

What's your number one? One of: Ghost In The Shell, Wicked City, Vampire Hunter D, Ninja Scroll, etc?

Grave of the Fireflies. And I'm not 100% that I'd put AKIRA at #2. It's neck and neck between it and Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Ah yes, Hotaru no Haka. Great movie, albeit a little depressing.

Ah yes, Hotaru no Haka. Great movie, albeit a little depressing. Hell, Requiem for a Dream is in my top 10 (at the moment) and it had me bawling for the duration of the closing credits. I have no problem with depressing as long as there's some quality filmmaking to back it up. |

See, I loved Requiem For A Dream, but I hardly shed a tear at the film's conclusion. But on the other hand we have The Virgin Suicides. I liked it less as a movie, but it brought out a lot more waterworks, at numerous points actually.

I liked it less as a movie, but it brought out a lot more waterworks, at numerous points actually. I'm not one to cry during movies, only two films and two Futurama episodes made me even come close. But when the big reveal came of the state Sara was in at the end of the movie when her two friends came to visit; Water. Works. To me Requiem for a Dream is one of the few perfect films. I've gone on for pages on my love of that movie. |

Another movie I haven't seen, but heard good things about.
Which Futurama episodes, btw? They had some that tug at your heartstrings. Off the top of my head, I'd throw out the one where Fry "died," the episode about Seymour, and the one about Fry's nephew. I give their writing staff credit for churning out excellent work (the show was far deeper than any other cartoon FOX had). They also did a good job of drawing out the Fry/Leela love story without it losing its punch (and still are).

"The Luck of the Fryrish" about his seven leaf clover, and "Jurassic Bark" about his dog Seymour. Though the one about the dog is more of a sad episode, "Luck of the Fryrish" was just emotional.
And for the record, the two movies were "Schindler's List" and "The Wild Bunch."

Variety is reporting that Dreamworks has acquired the rights to create a live action movie based on Masamune Shirow’s Ghost in the Shell property, and plans to make the movie in 3-D. Avi Arad (Spider-Man, Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk) and Stephen Paul, who brought the project to Dreamworks, are set to produce. According to Variety there was a spirited bidding war with Universal and Sony also interested in acquiring Ghost in the Shell but “Steven Spielberg took a personal interest in the property and made it happen at Dreamworks.” -- icv2.com/articles/news/12393.html.......... |
