Saw 22 Jump Street last night.

"Fuck you, doves"

Throwaway excellent stuff like the first one and some really genuinely laugh out loud scenes.

As good as the first one I would say.

Just watched TRANSCENDENCE (Johnny Depp sci-fi movie).

The trailer got me excited.

The final film was...well, kind of interesting (I was never really bored), but it also felt a bit flat.

Some nice visuals here & there, some interesting plot-points here & there, but mostly it was all a bit bland.

I think the 19% critic rating it has on Rotten Tomatoes is a bit harsh but, for me, it's a film that I found vaguely entertaining but would never want to watch again. Not dreadful but not particularly good either....
I'd give it a 5 or 6 out of 10.

Transformers is exactly as you would expect, but if you want mindless explosions with lots of bass it does the job. Looking forward to Apes... next.

I've watched The Girl Who Leapt Through Time anime too. It had a hint of the Ghibli about it. Man, I really enjoyed that.

I might get back into anime films again since, like, school? :S Jesus that was a long time ago...

I watched Project X again on Friday night after a fucking horrible week at work.
Every time I thought about it over the weekend (while I was still working) it made me happy.

It might be my favorite film.

Amazon keep fucking about with the Evangelion X.XX release dates. The latest one was, after resetting it to august, sending me two emails in quick succession - 'now we have no idea when 3.33 is out' and 'hahaha, not really. January 2015. Oh!'

ages til the third GitS too.

Yeah, I really liked it for it's mood / tone, though I didn't completely understand it (I can say the same for several David Lynch movies).

This excellent personal interpretation of its meaning is well worth a look if you feel the same way. Seems legit ! :

Well that's made me feel melancholy.

Was there more than 2 episodes and a third episode masquerading as a song?

I really liked the first episode. I sharn't ever repeat this to anyone ever except on this forum but when I was a lad my first love, my first real love, moved to Austria as an au pair. We sent each other an abundance of letters (before email was a thing) for a 2 year period and I've kept each and everyone that she sent me. They're in my wardrobe in the same blue box that I stored them with each letter in the envelope it came in. I've never read any of them more than once and I'm scared that if I do I'll love her all over again. I went over there a few times to see her and we went skiing and we went around the little Austrian towns and villages in the snow and drank hot chocolate with marshmallows. I couldn't say her name for weeks after she left and cried like a baby the first time I left her to get on the plane to come home. I didn't cry at the airport (I waited on the plane for that) but I knew from her face that she would cry while she drove back to the house she was staying.

I got a phone call one in the summer. She was supposed to be coming back to England for good but she didn't want to. She said that she was confused about our relationship since, if I wasn't enough of a reason for her to come back, then maybe our relationship wasn't enough. I got off the phone and knew that our relationship was over. All that waiting.

So, yes, I did enjoy 5 Centimetres Per Second. I could relate wholeheartedly and now I'm infinitely sad because of a cartoon. I got older just like the characters and just like the characters I still think about her every now and again several years later.

The reason? Females tend to like older men much more than Males like older women. Know your audience.

Doing an action film doesn't make you an action star though. Most of the women listed here have gone on to more highbrow careers and I suspect would laugh in the face of someone asking them to do the Expendables. Other than Rothrock and Neilsen :)

Nah, it never really suited her apart from Aliens. Look at ARes, for example.

I concur, although I'm even later to watching the film than you :)

It doesn't fire on all of its cylinders all of the time, but it followed through on its convictions right to the end and ended up as a genuine tragedy I think, albeit one with many dark laughs along the way - you kind of know where it's going to end up and that's what made it so sad in the final analysis.

I find Chris Morris' work harder to watch/listen to as I get older, not because it's any less brilliant, but because I increasingly realise how painfully close to the truth he gets and it's not always a comfortable realisation.

But yes, a fine film, and superb performances all round from the cast.
