If even Frownland says it...

Frownland 04-23-2016 10:12 AM
With that being said, I did go to a haunted house where people with chainsaws chase you around and stuff when I was on shrooms. It was more hilarious than scary.

I almost ****ing died because it was so intense.
Absolutely! I keep a complete John Carpenter filmography as well!

And what could top those soundtracks?

I don't know, I had a pretty great time watching Poltergeist on mushrooms once. It was terrifying, but also amazing.

Chula Vista 04-23-2016 11:33 AM
ISB, you blow my mind with your all out dedication to the arts. Would love to hang out with you over a good burger and beers sometime.

Try watching The Exorcist whilst high on acid, it's not fun. And quite frankly it gets a little messy.

Cheers Chula! And my town has a solid reputation for its breweries. It would be good times!

Why aren't there more MB peeps in NYS?

I think that goes for almost anything on acid. But yeah... horror seems like a bad time.

@JTF I was talking about a psychedelic horror movie sounding great.

That makes a lot more sense, as I was talking about mixing drugs and horror. Enter the Void, Santa Sangre, House, Tetsuo the Iron Man, Eraserhead, and Altered Stares all fit the category pretty well.

Great movie! I saw it forever ago but it really made an impression.

Any Jodorowsky film is worth far more than the time to watch it.

The worst part was trying to figure out who the fuck Baloo was. It was Bill Murray.

8/10

High.

I can enjoy Barbershop sober but not Beauty school.

Holy Mountain just barely edges it out for me, but I don't think I'd rate anything of his as lower than 10/10.

I just finished 'House' from 1986 (imdb tt0091223). I've always admired the great poster and the VHS cover when I was a kid but never got around to watch it.

The concept was good and the story well established, but yet somehow unsatistactory experience, possibly due to my sky high expectations. The movie left me feeling they should've taken the whole concept up a few notches and really go all the way with the whole spook / ghosts thing, a bit like the first Ghostbusters movie did a few years earlier.

Amazing. 5th best movie ever.

Chula Vista 04-29-2016 12:24 AM
Watched Payback again today. Excellent noir styled film. Top 5 Gibson movies. One of the better revenge movies ever made too.

JGuy Grungeman 04-29-2016 01:38 PM
Watching Cinema Paradiso right now. So far, flawless.

Trying to explain what Evangelion is about would require a 10-page academic paper with MLA formatting. In a nutshell, teenagers pilot giant robots to stop the human race from being turned into a gestalt entity, both literally and metaphorically becoming one with God (or becoming God).

The Batlord 04-29-2016 05:09 PM
A taste of the TV series...

Close.

Spoiler for Show's plot:
15 years fter a devestating event called Second Impact, the secret organization NREV finds an Angel, an extra-terrestrial creature prophecized about in the Dead Sea Scrolls. It wouldn't be the last to come.
NERV creates Evas, or evangelions. They are living war machines created to withstand the Angels. The evas need pilts, and one of them is troubled teenager Shinji Ikari, son of the apathetic Commender Gendo Ikari who runs NERV,


If you want more of an explanation, keep reading I can sum the majority of it quickly. If not, don't. But the movie might be confusing. You see, knowing the plot made me extremely hyped to see it. That and wathing this:



Spoiler for More story:
The secret plot of NERV is to destroy the angels to unleash Third Impact. Humans were created by an ancient race, but they did not all look human. They were originally these angels. The first two, dubbed Adam and Lilith, came to Earth. And humans are called "Lilin" the spawn of Lilith. It is revealed that Rei, the first eva pilot, carries the soul of Lilith (or her DNA), and she, when reunited with Lilith's body and carrying a piece of DNA from Adam, would bring about Third Impact. An impact would occur whenever a child of Adam (Angel) and a child of Lilith (man) contacted. Through that process, there are multiple ways of doing that. In the final plot, Gendo's way (or another version of Gendo's way) turned Rei into Lilith. Afterwards, she would create Human Instrumentality, a time when the bodies of humanity would become primordial soup and their souls would emerge as one into a god-like being and the major plot of the villains including Gendo and the secret organization SEELE, who wanyed themselves to be the only ones merged. Of course, Rei went solo and did it hherself. Shinji stops this project by convincing Rei, now Lilith, that individuality is key to life. Rei accepts, and humanity is revived.


That's the shorter version, anyway. The poster is probably a sea of LCL.

Anyway, I'd love a second season going more into the organization SEELE.

The Batlord 04-29-2016 06:56 PM
But mine was snappier and was one of the only times anyone in their life would ever get the chance to use the word "gestalt" in context.

JGuy Grungeman 04-29-2016 08:05 PM
Well mine was flat-out better. :D

What's LCL?

The Batlord 04-29-2016 08:30 PM
Yours is probably nonsensical and boring to anyone who hasn't seen the series, which is why I didn't try to summarize it. At least mine had a hook.

Edit:See?! \/

It's a special liquid, which is either very close to, or actual amniotic fluid, that a pilot must submerge in and breath while in the cockpit of an Evangelion. Explaining its greater significance to the movie would be a spoiler... not that that seemed to bother Grungey.

Frownland 04-29-2016 08:37 PM
It's also not a good idea to not give away the story to the extent where you'd have to use spoilers...to explain the movie to someone who hasn't seen it.

The Batlord 04-29-2016 08:39 PM
I just noticed that your avatar was James Chance. I thought it might be at first, but then I saw your user title. Nice.

Janszoon 04-29-2016 08:45 PM
What I'm getting from these descriptions is people piloting giant things and quasi supernatural stuff that's also sci-fi. Sounds like a lot of other anime. What sets this one apart?

Heavy religious themes that draw upon ancient Jewish doctrines, incredibly dark psychological drama that would leave anyone on acid trembling in the fetal position, and the fact that it was basically the series' creator's way of dealing with a crippling existential crisis. It's impossible to really do the series justice in a synopsis, but it's to generic mecha anime what Hamlet is to a high school play. Yes, it takes many anime tropes, but turns them on their heads, almost in a deconstructionist way, to build something entirely unique.

JGuy Grungeman 04-29-2016 09:07 PM
A unique blend of religion-inspired science fantasy and an effective psychological distortion. Plus, the Evas are actually living beings. I read some articles, and the religious references are innumerable, and all so well constructed and/or hidden. That why it's not like other anime. It's heart-wrenching, surprisingly realistic for its complex plot, and the movie is a replacement ending that suited the fans so much it is known as one of the greatest films ever made, possibly better than greats like Grave of the Fireflies and Totoro. I watch a lot of anime.

I don't generally like mecha anime. I love this.

The movie's too confusing. Knowing the plot made me more eager to see it than ever. The description was so freaky that I couldn't wait to experience it visually. And knowing what happened while watching it made me love it so much I gave it a 100. That's rare for me. Only 8 other movies get that from me.

He's not gonna know what's going on in the vid I posted. Plus, I gave him the option.

YouTube videos don't load on my phone so I haven't watched any videos posted, I did just look this thing up though and discovered it's the wrap up to a TV series. Is the movie worth watching if you haven't seen the series?

Frownland 04-29-2016 10:01 PM
^I'm curious of this as well since my interest is now piqued.
