What's The Last Movie You’ve Seen?

Not sure why anime fans are such bitches when it comes to this movie. If you actually like anime you should be happy for the creators of the series to get more exposure and money. It will only help anime get more exposure and be taken more seriously among Western viewers.

I don't think I count as an Anime fan. I hate %98 of the animes that are out there.

I can't comment on the movie because I haven't seen it yet but this one seems like more of a money grab sinc Ghost in the Shell already had a big fanbase.. Again, from what I heard the philosophical depth of Gits has been completely erased to create a generic Hollywood script. I don't why I should pay for a dumbed down version.

It's just a simple decision to stay away from superficial stuff that are beginning to dominate film industry. No more superhero movies, anime adaptations or remakes.

Oldboy and Ichi the killer were well-done though so maybe some anime adaptations.

The same reason McCarthy fans (and McCarthy himself) would've been livid if Michael Bay had been helmed to film No Country for Old Men. Great art should be respected and translated by those who can accurately pay homage to it.

That's a terrible analogy. By all accounts teh Ghost in The Shell live action remake is really true to the original, even though people arent loving it. I saw a die hard fan of the anime, someone who has read all the magnas and seen the sequels, gave the movie an A-.

You said anime fans bitched about the movie so I assumed it was based off of it not being very good...which is what it looked like to me.

I am happy for them. I just don't enjoy the movie versions since they tend to suck most of the time.

And I don't care if the anime has more exposure among Western fans or not. Actually, I hate anything that I like turns popular and commercial. It has a soul before that, then it becomes the food for cluelessly consuming masses of "Western" people.

That is immature. You should be happy for the people who created art that you enjoyed to have commercial success. Commercial success/ popularity and substantive art aren't mutually exclusive things.

They definitely are not. Ideally, this would be the perfect scenario having your favorite production becoming more successful and popular. But from my life experience, most of the time when they hit the big stage or worse someone else takes charge of the cover project and pull the concept of it to a lame point where it gets spoiled, you just see it and think "Dang it why don't they give it to someone who knows how real fans dig this thing" . But actually what they (the new producers) look out for is how can they change the bits of the thing in order to make it as populist as possible. For instance I am a big Conan fan but they crap on the entire Hyborian World every time they shoot a flick.

Yeah but the original still exist. It will get more fans just because people who have never heard of the anime will see the movie and might be influenced to see the anime.

Anyone know if I should see Ghost in the Shell in 2D or 3D?



I loved the anime, but I think I'll give the movie a try. I can always hate but, but for $10 I mean what could go wrong?

True. But this does not mean that I have to go see it too.

Yeah but its a 30 foot tall Scarlet Johansson wearing **** all and giggling for 2 hours, i'm sure that will kids into the cinema. I'd go watch it if I didn't hate going to the movies and could stand the public in general.
 
Attack on Titan movie was pretty good... so I guess it is possible to make anime fans happy.

Just watched One More Time with Feeling, a doco about Nick Cave, his creative process, losing his son, getting old and well the whole damn thing is just generally full of pain and great beauty.

Saw it without any expectations and was pleasantly surprised. Dark and gorey at times, it felt American. Lynskey and Wood fit into their roles perfectly. %89 on RT.

Macon Blair also directed Blue Ruin which was also great. That's probably why it made my list.
 
Ant Man. I was convinced I was watching the greatest super hero movie ever(I only like about two of them - so not a high bar) for about 20 minutes..... then it went off a cliff. 6/10.
