From the '90s there was a lesser known movie that I really enjoyed back then, but I don't remember it much, so maybe take it with a grain of salt:Venus Wars. Anyone saw that?

I notice this went unanswered: it's not about overturning the call, it's about making the ref' doubt he took the right decision in hope you will get a more lenient call the next time around or a harsher call for the opponents. Since they do it all the time on every call, it might not have much...

It was shown at a festival I went to a few weeks back, but skipped it as it will be released in theater sometime soon. Everyone I know who saw it (6 people?) liked it very much.

Apparently it's more about taking a break to figure out what to do next:Studio Ghibli Is Not Dead Yet As for Castle of Cagliostro, I think it's a mix between not being a Ghibli movie (it started with Castle in the Sky) and not having some of the most obvious miyazakiesque themes and aesthetic...

I don't think Stringer was not smart, I think what he was naive. For him it's all about beating the odds, leaving the ghetto and make a life for himself and he probably did not expect that once out of the ghetto he would still remain 'the guy from the ghetto' and that things are just as crooked...

I have a bad news for you: Miyazaki is 73 and Takahata who did Graves and the recent Kaguya is 78. The future at Ghibli are Miyazaki's son Gor? (Earthsea, Poppy Hill) and Hiromasa Yonebayashi who directed Arrietty and the recent Marnie. Both in their '40s.

The Tale of Princess Kaguya cost $50m to make and grossed $25m in Japan. It's pretty crazy when you consider that in Japan: Earthsea $64m Ponyo $164m Arrietty $110m Poppy Hill $56m The Wind Rises $120m When Marnie Was There, the latest Ghibli movie, also does not look like it will draw...

Does not really look like a remake, more like a reboot. Both the original and the '90s version were lame, so I don't see why this trend would change.

On the up side, there are professional athletes that recovered from a tibia-fibula double fracture. Soccer player Djibril Ciss? comes to mind (took him 'only' 6 months to recover). In a way it's a 'cleaner' problem than stuff with ankles, knees, shoulder or spine that are very complex systems.

The Eden Of The East movies are not spin-offs, they are the end of the story that began in the TV show. Great show and great movies, but there is very little point in watching the movies by themselves.

Let's have this quote right: "You want it to be one way, but it's the other way." I too often think about it and even use it. It's a multi-purpose quote: it's philosophically powerful, about accepting the reality of things, but it's also a good smack down!

I just saw Starship Troopers: Invasion the other day and that's a CG movie by the same director and the same studio as the 2004 Appleseed movie, the recent Appleseed Alpha and the CG Captain Harlock. ST:I was so lame (even if you don't take the scenario and the voice acting into account) that it...

I'll assume Satael included those in "pretty much every Ghibli". While exceptional technical and artistic achievements, I must say I am not overly fond of those two.

Let me list some older and less slice-of-life'ish movies: Akira and Ghost in the Shell got mentioned already, so let me add: PatlaborandPatlabor 2: The first is a detective story of sorts and the second is a refection on war. Giant robots in both, but not exactly action packed. The...

That thread comes at an interesting time because I was considering starting a similar one. I saw several anime movies recently and realized I had not seen much in the past few years (and they are very rarely distributed in theater around here if they are not by Ghibli), so I made a list of 50ish...

I invite you to visit Proteus:

I shilled Proteus when it was released, so I'll shill it again as a free PS+ game. It's flirting with non-game territory, but it's a magical and musical experience that everyone ought to try. It's important to note that there is definitely a progression (that relies on you doing something) and...

The super oculus designed driving seat is missing a stand for the bucket, because I believe all the tests that have been made to make driving games using VR headsets result in massive nausea (one of the SCE honcho said as much when talking about Morpheus and the need to experiment and find what...

The premise is mouth watering, the trailer... not so much. It could be that the pace, tone and type of comedy used in the movie are not very trailer friendly though, so I'll be cautiously optimistic or at least not overly pessimistic.

If you really wanted muscle and athletic abilities, the right answer was Gina Carano. For height and screen presence, I maintain that Gal Gadot is a good choice. Adrianne Palicki (who played the part for TV) or Blake Lively would also have been good fits for height and presence while being less...

There is an episode of Homicide: Life on the Streets with a similar accident. Apparently, the people caught between the platform and the subway get twisted like a closed garbage bag and stay alive, but once unstuck, the garbage bag opens and they die within minutes. So very pleasant... It...

I think you are thinking of Richard Simmons?

Some sort of Persimmon?

Should post a picture of his feet, just to see what Silence's answer will be.

Why would anyone spend $350 on a quartz watch?

100% on Rotten Tomatoes does not mean a film is perfect, it means all the critics think it's worth seeing. For it to be the case that usually means the movie is pretty good though.

I have not seen it, but another 17 year old managed to win a couple matches at home as a wild card: Borna Coric in Umag (Croatia). Beat Roger-Vasselin in straight sets (more of a fast surface guy, but still a quality player) and then clay court specialist Zeballos in straight sets. He won the...
