Nick Joseph Fury I was just watching Rashomon earlier today. Sadly, haven't seen Seven Samurai or Yojimbo yet. My knowledge of Eastern cinema could use some work. sweatdrop both films are good, and after seeing Yojimbo, check out Sanjuro, witch is a squeal to yojimbo.

oh I see.
It was weird, I had this whole love/hate deal with Samurai Jack. Like I like the style and the plot. But I had a problem with how some of the episodes didn't have this chronological order. Then again, I never saw the full series from beginning to end. I should hunt down the dvds.

What's this? A GI Joe Web series? Written by Warren Ellis, no less?

Okay, I admit, I'm only there for the Ellis. :B But there are GI Joe fans here, wanted to get your guy's takes on it. I think it looks pretty cool.

Also, I have finally seen Frank Miller's The Spirit.
I drank heavily to prepare myself for it.
I did not drink heavily enough.
Someone called it "noirsploitation" and I'm inclined to agree. Maybe it was the drink talking, but if it hadn't been The Spirit I maybe could have enjoyed its absolutely retarded dialogue and overall ridiculousness. I mean, it had pointless Nazi bits! I love pointless Nazi bits!
But I'm sorry, when Sand Saref's photocopied a** is a plot point... I just.. oh god. Where is Frank Miller's house? It needs to be egged. Special eggs. Eggs made of glass, containing gasoline and rags and fire. It needs to happen now.

Natalia Romanova Aw, just because the film is "subtle" does not mean Wright does not have a style. His Pride and Prejudice is far more stylistic then other film versions of the same story; using the camera in a very contemporary way with exceptionally sharp editing (along with a near surprising amount of special effects). In today's world of films I'd say Wright's Prejudice and Atonement stand out away from the crowd, following more in the footsteps of Mulligan's To Kill a Mockingbird and even the work of Douglas Sirk rather then the road many of his fellow young British directors have taken. This does not mean I think he is "better", just making different choices.
However, I do find that Julian Jarrold took more chances with Becoming Jane although he seemed somewhat tentative about it. He did more unconventional shots that at times had the shot-on-video look of Battlestar Galactica or The Shield, but he didn't really sell the effect or pull it out more than once or twice. I feel like he also had more visual continuity than Wright did if you strictly compare Pride and Prejudice to Becoming Jane. There was a trailer for Atonement on the disc for Becoming Jane, and the shots in that promise to be something I can speak to more, even if the goddamn trailer completely ruins the big twist in the novel. You aren't supposed to know that the narrative is fictional and thus whose atonement it really is until pretty much the end. Growl.Quote: Meh. Depends on what you think the monolith is. The monolith is a literal object within the film, but that doesn't mean it is to be understood in the literal - just because it is there and man does not know what it is does not mean it has to represent a higher being. A lot of people believe the monolith to merely represent the potential of man, appearing at times when man furthers/seeks to further himself and at times when he fails. Others feel the monolith is indeed a higher power; while some people see the monolith as a movie screen.
I don't personally believe the film has anything to do with becoming equal or a part of the universe. I feel the film certainly has a large amount to do with the evolution of man and what it is to be human, but I feel it is actually a cautionary tale of sorts. But after all "All art is at once surface and symbol. Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril. Those who read the symbol do so at their peril. It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors." Quote: The irony here is that, of course, I saw Sunshine as a less effective 2001. xd
