13 Assassins is amazing.  That's how you do a Samurai film, you post-1960s fucks.

And how long is that final battle?  40 minutes?  An hour?  It seems like forever, but in a good way.

Also, there was some extremely disturbing shit in that first hour.  The woman without arms and legs....that's an image that doesn't fade easily.

[Telarus]

Yup :shiver:

Now watching Source Code.  Only half an hour in, but I'm enjoying it so far.

Saw Hannibal Rising last night.  Fucking creepy.  But still did a good job, storywise, if piecing together how Lecter became such a psychotic freakazoid.

Have to say, zombie movies have gone a LONG WAY to immunizing me to the YUCKHELLNAW factor of cannibalism.

Also saw the new X-Men movie the other day at the theater.  It wasn't half-bad, actually.  I enjoyed it.

I also watched X-Men: First Class last night.

Not bad.  Not brilliant, but by the standards of the genre and the series as a whole (ie; abysmal) it was pretty good.  Plus it allowed them to re-use sets and costumes from Austin Powers, and we should promote recycling.

  Strangely enough, I did watch most of the Goldmember Austin Powers movie yesterday as well.  The part with Fat Bastard always cracks me up.

"What?! I didn't have any CORN!"

So, I'm home, all alone.  It's just past midnight.  I'm debating whether to watch Event Horizon or not.  Old film, I know, but one of the few horror films I actually find both scary and disturbing.

[Suu]

I'm thinking I need to see 13 Assassins very soon.

If that's the one I'm thinking of (Aliens meets Lovecraft), I wouldn't watch it at home alone at noon, much less at midnight.

Youtube has all of the episodes of Gundam Wing, full length, posted through the Anime Channel. It's the Bandai dub, but it made me feel like a 17 year old Trowa Barton fangirl again so...fuck you all.

That's the one.  You know they actually deleted a number of scenes, for being too disturbing?  They can be found on Youtube, though there are constant threats of a Director's Cut being released, some day.  I'm debating whether I want to see them.

[Jenne]

Dude--of COURSE you do.

Holy crap...  I did not know that.

If this comes out, I will need at least one volunteer to watch this with... and probably sleep over to shake me out of the screaming nightmare.

Caught 13 Assassins last night after reading about it in this thread.  I very, very impressed with it.  Scenery porn, shots that alternate between gruesome and breathtaking, some that are even breathtakingly gruesome.

What was even more impressive was that this was the same guy who directed fucking Ichi:  The Killer, which was one of the most over the top, violent, and TERRIBLE Japanese movies I've seen.  It made sense why some of the earlier scenes were so disturbing.

[Freeky]

OFUK IS THIS THERAD.


YOUVE DONE IT NOW MAN, NIGEL'S GONNA ACCIEDNTLY ON PRUPOSE!
