I'm a big fan of Bill Murray as well, especially under the direction of Anderson, so I think that is why Darjeeling let me down a little, and why I loved Life Aquatic as much as I did. Not to say that this is my standard of his films of course; I love Bottle Rocket. But Darjeeling teased us with a small cameo by Murray, and I would rather not be teased I suppose :)

Today I watched Akira Kurosawa's Throne of Blood. It's his adaptation of Macbeth. It is rather fucking great. It's darker than a pit of coal.
Toshiro Mifune is spectacular in the lead role. He has a saucer-eyed air of restless insanity that is highly reminiscent of Klaus Kinski. |

I re-watched Survive Style 5+. Me., have you seen this? You'd love it!
![]() ![]() I ordered a copy of ebay. Because of music issues, it'll likely never come out in a lot of places. Anyone that's interested but doesn't want to order it, you can find the whole thing on googlevideo last I checked. Is it just me or is Tadanobu Asano the best actor in the world?! Jesus. He's in so many fucking great films.. this film, Mongol, Screwed, Ichi, Gemini, Vital, Eli Eli, Party 7, Taste of Tea, Last Life in the Universe, Bright Future, Sharkskin Man, Funky Forest, Electric Dragon 80000V, Zatoichi, Love and Pop, and more I'm forgetting. Jesus! |
I love Sharkskin Man! It's got a lot of regulars from Takeshi Kitano's movies. Really awesome.

![]() Just saw it on HBO On Demand last night. Very powerful film that definitely brings you into its world-which isn't all that implausible in concept. 9.5/10 atsonicpark: Regarding the last episode of Cowboy Bebop, I've always felt it was rather pessimistic...the characters basically lose eveything, and then the main character dies after finally getting his revenge? Sorry, I don't like that. I will admit it was the first "not-so-happy" ending I had ever seen, so that may have tainted it... But, I can certainly agree with you about Evangelion... |
Evangelion has the most pessimistic ending ever though!
Anyway, Spike's whole reason for living was to get revenge on Vicious, and he did, so what else was there to do? He had nothing else to do. It was a great ending, though admittingly it was rather dark compared to most episodes in the series... |
I liked everything about Bebop - especially the ending. Those guys were obviously really big John Woo fans.
Evangelion is brilliant - although I haven't seen the newest stuff. The last two episodes paired with the movies are just awesome. My favorite anime series is easily Escaflowne. It's the perfect mix of action and romance. Lain - although it has a very dark feel and beginning is, as a whole, a very upbeat series. |
Georgy Girl is on later tonight. I've never seen it but have always wanted to for some reason. Anybody familiar with it?
|
I miss CHE'. spending 4 hours with him made me miss him when the movie ended.
|
Just bought INVISIBLE WAVES and EUREKA. Can't wait to watch 'em!!

Yeah, cemetary man rules!!
|
![]() aaah! Great, nice movie. I'd say it's similar to mr.Vengeance, less "poetic" and weird, but with a similar "effect". |
Watched 'Come and See' again last night.
IMHO one of the best war movies ever made. |
