LOLWAT. Master of descriptions, do you have enough adjectives?

Happy new years

I didn't think much of it, it was just kinda boring to me. I did watch the Kurosawa movies you were talking about before, though.

mehhhhhh TdE was better. why the hate?

Nonono it was operator as hell.

I watched Tropa de Elite, I think I'm just fine up here for now...

Happy Birthday

Eu tava lendo seus outros comments, e, peralá, você assistiu Suna no Onna? O.O

O cara é louco mesmo, chega na nossa pagina querendo "causar", hauahuhauhauahua
Nossa, se você não assistiu Mononoke ainda, assista! É, pra mim, o auge de qualidade em questão de anime, não apenas em roteiro, mas em som, arte, animação, tudo. E Black Lagoon também é muito bom, embora à primeira vista pareça só mais um anime 'girls with guns', eu juro pra você que tem uma discussão quase que nietzscheziana em um episódio, o negócio é realmente filosófico!

Eu estudo na PUC-GO, to no 6º período de Arqueologia, ano que vem eu me formo, graçasadels! Eu tava escavando com umas meninas que fazem acho que Ciencias Sociais na UFMG agora nas férias, muito gente fina as gurias! Arqueologia é lindimais, e eu gostei profundamente do seu nick :)

Estou te adicionando!

P.S.: Se você esperar um pouco, acho que até o final do mês o About Fansub (http://aboutfansub.wordpress.com/) lança o primeiro arco de Mononoke, que eu to traduzindo ^^

fomos vítimas do mesmo troller com relação a Seirei no Moribito, mas isso serviu pra eu ver teu perfil, muito interessante! concordo com 99% do que disse!

E ah, Incidente em Antares é um puta livro, realmente.

troll? bem, parece que o pessoal na internet anda lendo muitos blogs inúteis, estão usando expressões de maneira incorreta.. hmm, eu tentei assistir seirei no moribito e não consegui, era extremamente ruim, e pensei que ele era legal, quando vi nos seus favoritos, aproveitei para perguntar como conseguiu assistir todo.

Seirei no Moribito é muito ruim.. como conseguiste assistir todo? O_o

Hellooo. So sorry I haven't replied in a while, but I mostly took a break from MAL and anime/manga for the last few weeks — I was feeling a bit burnt out and wanted to turn my attention more toward music and film for a while. Well, music is a constant for me, but yeah, I guess I needed a break from this stuff. For the last few days I've been back at it, though, finishing Baccano! and Future Boy Conan, reading a bit of manga, etc.

Looks like you have quite a pile of movies to watch there, and some really great ones. Have you gotten around to seeing any of them yet? I'd especially love to know what you though of Woman in the Dunes.

I don't know if I'd say I didn't like City of God — it's been a while since I saw it, and I think I did like it, but I was skeptical about its honesty and integrity. If you're telling me that it's fairly realistic, then I suppose my suspicion that it was sensationalized for foreign (American, etc.) audiences isn't warranted and I would probably enjoy it more if I watched it again with this in mind. I might have to do that.

Oh my, I wonder if you've seen Irreversible by now. That's not an easy one to take on, especially for a woman I think, but it is a powerful film. I'll say no more, but once you've seen it (or if you already have) I would be very interested in your thoughts.

Oh, the image in my profile about the atom bombs is from Suehiro Maruo's Ultra Gash Inferno.

Cheers. :)

I'm talking about the version from 1984, with William Hurt. I can't imagine it could be too terrible with him in the leading role, but who knows. It's apparently a "cult favorite," which may or may not mean its quality is questionable, similar to something like Equilibrium... I think it will be better than that, though.

Funny that you mention Nouvelle Vague, since I've been got a few films by Jean-Luc Godard piled up to watch — stuff I've meant to see for ages. I wonder what sort of Japanese new wave (aka Shochiku Nouvelle Vague) directors you're looking into... Hiroshi Teshigahara is one of my favorites, with films like Woman in the Dunes and The Face of Another, as is Shohei Imamura and directors that are considered "new wave" by association, like Seijun Suzuki (though he's a bit more known for pinkie violence and humorously irreverent, nihilistic neo-noir).

I've recently changed some of my highest ratings on criticker slightly, so you might care to take a look and see if there's anything more that catches your interest. I'll be sure to give Keeper of Promises a look, too, since I can hardly think of any Brazilian film... I've seen City of God, but I get the feeling that's nothing but sensationalized violence and drama, which turns me off a bit.

Oh, and yes, I am quite familiar with Wong Kar-wai — he has made some of my favorite films, most of all Fallen Angels and Happy Together, and Christopher Doyle's cinematography is to die for. I just saw the latest film he worked on last night, too: Jim Jarmusch's The Limits of Control, which was great, his best since Dead Man in my opinion...

Even if you struggle with your memory, I'd love to see you at criticker!

Hello again! I had a very busy weekend (stayed over at my dad's since my grandfather's 81st birthday was Saturday night, and then I just spent the rest of the weekend helping with some things over there), so I didn't have a chance to respond to this properly until just now. I'm downloading some of the music you recommended right now, and I will let you know what I think of it — thanks. :)

I have read 1984, but I actually picked up a copy of the film earlier today, which I have never seen... So I will be watching that soon, and then I will probably pick up a copy of Brave New World, haha.

Ooh, you really must read Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke, especially if you've ever seen 2001: A Space Odyssey — which is actually quite different, but Kubrick got the basic idea for a science fiction film portraying human evolution catalyzed by something external from that novel, and then worked together with Clarke to write a new story.

I've cut down on the anime for nearly a week now, and seem to be leaning back toward film... I've got a big stack of movies to watch! Some names: La Haine, Youth of the Beast, The Face of Another, Barry Lyndon, Bad Lieutenant, Notre Musique, Sin Nombre, The Pianist, The White Ribbon, Tetsuo 2: Body Hammer, The Limits of Control, and I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK. And more on the way, haha. Have I shown you my criticker profile yet?

As you can see, I love my movies... What are some of your favorites?
