With a cover like that, I'm not too surprised

I'm gonna rec a movie/OVA to every member (that I can think of):

Occulthawk - GoShogun: The Time Etranger - A weird ass animated movie from the 80s about a team of ass kickers who saved the world in their youth, only to eventually grow old. Now in their seventies, and retired from world saving, they come together one final time after one of them is critically injured and hospitalized. While the team tries to give her support, the injured member goes into a weird dream-coma and fights muslim zombies (antagonists that act as a metaphor for submitting to fate and accepting that she will die).

Chula Vista - Finishing the Game - A comedy about the fallout of Bruce Lee's death, wherein a movie studio picks up the pieces of his unfinished final project The Game of Death and hurriedly tries to complete it with a lookalike so they can cash in on it. Featuring evil nazi ninjas, Ron Jeremy, and more. Really bizarre and hilarious, and probably way better if watched while high.

Grindy - The Hidden Blade - A samurai drama that you have probably already seen, but I'll rec it anyway. Maybe not the best samurai movie ever made, but I really like it.

Mondo Bungle - Galaxy Express 999 - An animated movie about an orphan who will do anything to get a ticket for an intergalactic train ride that supposedly leads to roboticized immortality. I feel like you would appreciate a lot of Leiji Matsumoto's stories (especially Queen Emeraldas, if you're ever in the mood to read a manga).

Mrs. Tristan Rosenstock - True Stories - David Byrne drives around a small town in Texas, talking to the locals and being a weirdo. I'm not certain if the movie is supposed to be for or against consumerism, but I think it's mainly just David Byrne's way of giving the world a big hug despite how flawed the world is. Oh, and John Goodman is in it.

djchameleon - Sol Bianca - Basically Bubblegum Crisis, except the badass gals in power suits are pirates instead of mercenaries.

Psy Fi - Lily C.A.T. - An anime ripoff of Alien and John Carpenter's The Thing. Fuck yeah. I don't know why, but I feel like you'd really get a kick out of this. Queue up the english dubbed version if you want some extra cheese.

Chiomara - Warlock - A horror comedy about an evil warlock that travels forward in time from colonial days to the late 80s/early 90s. Hilarious, awesome, and honestly not nearly as bad as you would expect from the description. Definitely one of the better 80s/90s cheesy horror movies out there, even though it never gets any love.

elphenor - Marie Antoinette - Sort of a scathing critique of high society, but also somewhat sympathetic to people who are forced into power. Featuring a badass post punk soundtrack (the movie literally starts with Marie lounging about eating cake and shit while a Gang of Four song plays).

Mindfulness - The Room - I think you and the main character were separated at birth.

Micshazam - Maris the Chojo - An animated movie from the 80s about a space travelling bounty hunter gal who is so strong that she needs to wear a special harness to keep her from accidentally smashing everything in sight. Because of her immense strength and penchant for accidents, she is broke as hell, but she's determined to become rich before she dies. In a beat up second hand ship (the only one her boss would give her after she destroyed all of her old ships) she goes up against an evil kidnapper who is set up in a cheap-ass base that is actively falling apart around him. Made by the creator of Ranma 1/2.

Qwertyy - Return of the Killer Tomatoes - :wave:

Neapolitan - Rumble in the Bronx - I'm actually not sure what kind of movies you like, so here, have a Jackie Chan flick.

Mord - Angel's Egg - You live in Japan, right? Here, have some more Japan.

Frownland - Talking Head - A live action movie made by the guy that masterminded Neon Genesis Evangelion and the original anime adaptation of Ghost in the Shell. It's about... uh, something. You'll see.

Trollheart - Office Space - YOU WOULD LOVE IT.

The Batlord - City Hunter: Million Dollar Conspiracy - A super perverted crime fighter does super perverted things while fighting crime, complete with a cheesy english dub.

Goofle and Justthefacts - Angel Cop - FUCK YEAH ANGEL COP. A sexy 80s babe and her cocky partner blow the heads off of evil commie scum. That's literally the entirety of the plot right there. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? ANGEL COOOOOOOP!

Man Like Monkey - The Beatles Yellow Submarine - Not just because you're british, but because it is a legit fantastic movie with awesome music sequences. I don't know if you've seen it or not, but if you haven't, pop it in, light up, and never look back.

you know me too ****ing well

In what can only be described as a rather stunning coincidence, I just threw out my old VHS tape of that very anime a few days ago (plus a few others). It wasn't that they were bad anime, just that I don't have a VHS player anymore and I have most of those on DVD now anyway. The good stuff, that is. Never seen the Rumik World short anime's on DVD though. I also had one named Fire Tripper and one named Laughing Target.

I used to like the one you recommended back in the day. I remember being thoroughly amused at the scene where it is revealed that the imposing looking general on her screen is about the size of a fist. I watched so much silly stuff like that back in the day.
Pretty nostalgic about Rumik world OVA's, since they played a part in getting me into anime. The biggest nostalgia trip for me was watching Gunbuster again on DVD. Not all that great a show, but I can't help but liking it a little since it was my very first anime.

PS: My copy of Maris the Chojo was named Maris the Wonder Girl.

SO lazy. Try harder. :nono:

Here, have one on me:
"The Cold Equations": They made a Twilight Zone episode about this, but the movie is so much better. A girl sneaks onboard a spaceship delivering medicals supplies to a planet desperately in need. Trouble is, the calculations have been made to the millimetre and milligram to enable the ship to land safely. Now there's a variable in the mix. What will happen? The answer will surprise you.

I've seen it and it's good

:beer:

Damn man, now I have an image of a Maris the Chojo tape sitting in a dumpster. :(

Btw, I heard that it was supposed to be released internationally as Maris the Supergal, but the distributors didn't want to get sued by DC Comics.

I'll watch it if you watch Office Space. :thumb:

Remember that part when...



Imo, that's like one of the best moments from an anime movie.

Haven't heard of it but will definitely check it out.

You know, I watch movies too. I watched Hot Fuzz last night while blazed as ****. Was awesome.

Maybe if I spend another ten years here someone will remember me enough to recommend me a movie.

Have you seen Wages of Fear? If not I'd recommend that.

I have not, but I'll put it on my list. :)

The VHS tapes I had left were all the most interesting ones. I got rid of all the other ones long ago. Nobody wants VHS tapes, so the dumpster was the one and only option.

I also have some anime DVD's, that I can't get rid of - some of them OVA's or movies, some of them box sets. Nobody wants them and the local store that buys used games, movies, books... only takes region 2 DVD's. Many of the ones I don't want to own anymore are US imports (region 1). I've tried loading them off on people I know, but nobody wants them. That leaves me with a few options: Dumpster, goodwill type stores (don't know what to call them in english. Those stores where you donate your stuff and they sell them and give something to charity), keeping them or trying to sell them online (not bothering with that one TBH).

They probably would have. The big boys like to sue everyone whenever possible. Maris the Wondergirl was probably a EU only title. I think the VHS tapes were British, not US imports.

I didn't get a movie rec, what a ****ing douche.

.

No deal.



I think everyone just assumes you've seen everything. You're like Exo-lite.

Yeh, I didn't even bother with Exo and Janszoon. They should be recing movies to me.

Hey Lucem and Vi, sorry for missing you two. If you insist on recs, here ya go:

Lucem Ferre - Cannibal! The Musical

Thelonious Violet - The Gingerdead Man 2: Passion of the Crust

Gee I wish people would recommend me movies.

pretty good. definitely doesn't warrant the stellar reviews it's been getting but it was solid nonetheless. a really nice mixture of silly humour, campy moments, and genuinely good horror. it won't blow you away, at least it didn't for me, but it's a solid foundation for the series and immensely better than the piece of **** original that still to this day bores me to tears.

Yeah that was a great movie. A few things annoyed me though. I don't think they put enough emphasis on the fact that her dad was molesting her and the bullies didn't use any racial slurs on the black kid. Like, I hate it when they shy away from these kinds of things. It's a movie about a clown that eats children, why are they pussy footing this ****. If the movie was rated R it barely got that rating, too. Those were two huge missed opportunities to really explore the realities of these situations for the sake of keeping it a little less offensive.

Hey Micshazam, have you seen the Urusei Yatsura movies?

I thought the original was pretty good and though I haven't seen the new IT I don't think it'll be better than the original.

But hey, to each his own.

have you rewatched the original? it's one of the longest, most drawn out, boring film experiences i've ever had. it's cringy, campy in all the wrong ways, and while the children's story is alright the adult part is absolutely garbage.

objectively speaking the new one was just made better. not saying you have to like it more, just that it was actually well written, the dialogue wasn't awkward and misplaced like the original, the overacting was kept to a minimal, it took some liberties to not follow the book word for word, etc.

lol i liked the part

Take the Money and Run (1969).

It's the second movie Woody Allen ever directed, the oldest movie of his that I've seen and it's the first bad Woody Allen movie I've seen out of more than 20 so far.

Loads of cringey slapstick jokes and poor choices of backing music. It's very much what would happen if Mel Brooks was painfully unfunny and cheesy. Actually I'm not too big a fan of Mel Brooks movies, but they sure beat this farce of a... erh... farce (sorry).

I find his later movies pretty funny, but this is the first time I've seen one of his movies from before Annie Hall. I'm hoping that not all of his oldest movies will be this bad.

Oh come on! Not even the "gun/gub" line? That's bleedin' hilarious! And is that the one with him buying the magazine Orgasm in it? That's great too.

The gun/gub thing would have been funny if that scene wasn't drawn out way past the breaking point. That was sort of a theme in the movie; some allright gags overdone far beyond the point where you already get the joke.

There was a couple gags I laughed at. I liked the one where he and his wife are eating a sandwhich while on the run. Allen's character opens his wallet and takes out what seems like a dollar bill at first. Then you realize it's a slice of ham and he puts it on his toast.

There was another one a bit before that, but I can't recall what it was.

Seeing mother! tonight. No idea what to expect, haven't watched a trailer. J. Laws expressions from the pictures I've seen look good enough for me. And Aronofsky. And the Rosemarys Baby-ish poster.

Hopefully it's as good as Noah.

Yeah and we don't actually need to see her getting molested just because it is a rated r movie. The way they presented that situation was fine enough.

Stephen King's It aka Bev's First Bukkake.

That is the exact opposite genre of movie I'd expect you to be into. Like a Klan member jerking it to white girls ****ing black dudes. Westerns are boring btw.

Young Guns is a lot of fun.

I like a few westerns, but there aren't many in the genre I'd bother rewatching.
I thought Bandidas was a lot of fun.

Seems I tend to like the dumber westerns.

Oh, I didn't realize it was an Aronofsky movie.

Try The Big Country and I assume you've seen High Noon? Two completely atypical westerns. 3:10 to Yuma is great too, and of course you've seen Unforgiven (how many times?) though for comic westerns you can't beat Evil Roy Slade.

Me bollix they are! How many have you seen, huh?

As an American I've seen my fair share, and even the good ones generally don't rock my world. I just don't give a **** about cowboys in general.

Then you're not a true American, are you? Virginia? They BUILT that state, pal! Ask the Indian - ah, Native Americans.

And I would have thought the West would have been your time: carry a gun with impunity, ride a horse, **** anyone you want, shoot down any **** who looks sideways at you, rob trains, rob banks and end your days swinging from a rope! Who could wish for more out of life?
