JoshTX Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Started Easy Rider and jumped ship halfway in. Classic for some, not for all. Easy Rider is definitely a niche film. I wasn't a big fan either but then again I probably don't understand the biker culture enough to respect some of the smaller nuances. Dennis Hopper was a cool actor though. I miss that guy. Blue Velvet was awesome and felt like Hopper was playing himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wholovesboo Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Sorry to abruptly make this thread all girly, but I'm really looking forward to this: Disney's Frozenhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwnQMfJBnrQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Raichu Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Speaking of Disney movies, the 5 minutes or so love story between the old man and his wife in "UP" was one of the best scenes in animation movies. However, the rest of the movie quickly went downhill from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Sorry to abruptly make this thread all girly, but I'm really looking forward to this: Disney's Frozen Shows how far behind I am with films anymore as I never even heard about that. It intrigues me so especially being somewhat based on The Snow Queen. Thank you for sharing. Speaking of Disney movies, the 5 minutes or so love story between the old man and his wife in "UP" was one of the best scenes in animation movies.I agree.

It intrigues me so especially being somewhat based on The Snow Queen. Thank you for sharing. You're welcome! There's a really beautiful son*** sung by Idina Menzel (voice of Elsa) that goes with the movie. (This isn't an official video, but it's the best version of the song I've been able to find online.) I've been keeping an eye on all the "Frozen" merchandise that's been hitting stores this month. Curious how it does during the holidays once the movie comes out in November...

Fruits Basket the manga is 10x better than the anime. The anime was cut short and only covered 1/3 of the manga series My all time favorite is Fullmetal Alchemist the manga series or the Bortherhood anime series. This is the series that cover philosophy, war/peace, human nature, science, magic, religion, immortality, and artificial intelligence in a steam punk techno settings. There is no other series can touch the mix of heavy philosophical discussions and light comedic nuances while maintaining high level of action adventure. ETA: Plus a walking talking suit of armor.. who can resist ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGQ09IrqOtU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should pick both up again! That's frustrating that they never finished the manga series! I've heard form Fullmetal Alchemist but never checked it out. I'll have to give it a try. Two other manga series that I really love (but also never finished) are Bizenghast and Godchild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's frustrating that they never finished the manga series! It has been a while since I read it, but IIRC Fruits Basket manga was completed on volume 22 or 23. Two other manga series that I really love (but also never finished) are Bizenghast and Godchild. My wife read Godchild, and IIRC she never mentioned it being an incomplete series If you really want to be frustated with incomplete series like my wife, try reading "Nana" and also "Glass Mask" Wait, where are all the mainstream suggestions? Berserk, Cowboy Bebop, Kenshin, Trigun and Witch Hunter Robin! Here is a mainstream one: Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z series. I love how these only got really popular in US a few years ago when I grew up reading and watching these in the late 80s and early 90s. Again, manga was better since the anime mainly consisted of the characters talking to each other while posing in fighting stances. Some of the anime only episodes were good though, like the whole afterworld Martial Arts tournament (Goku vs Pikehan) Rurouni Kenshin / Samurai X is much better watched in japanese to catch his favorite catchphrase (oro!). IIRC it was dubbed as "ouch" in US so its uniqueness was lost in translation. Also, if you like the goofy Kenshin, stay the heck away from the OVAs :shocked: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably only know about the series through the character Nami as there is a ton of fan art of her out there. It's actually difficult trying to find one pic without her boobs hanging out. :sweat: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
