[up] Miyazaki talks about it a bit in this interview.

...all I could think was the image of Lupin lived in his glory in 60s and early 70s, now living in the regret and shame for his young and wild life...Maybe if it was ten years ago, he would have fallen for love, but now he knows he is not that young nor innocent, so he excuse himself as “old man” and draw the line.

The fact that the "traditional" interpretation of Lupin only shows up in a flashback to ten years prior should've been more telling, in hindsight.

I have just rewatched Hot Shots! Part Deux for the epic lols grin.

I tried to find the legendary galician dub but it seems to hace been lost to the ages... Fortunately, the Spanish dub is always avaliable.

Blade Runner: The Final Cut. The definitive version of the film if you ask me. My only complaint is that the love scene always feels really rapey.

Shoo her in, Effie darling, shoo her in.

Rich Hall's Continental Drifters. Bit short, made for television and is one of his documentaries, but still a film. And made about films, in particular the mostly-known-as-being American "Road Movie" genre.

Highly recommended.

The X-Files: I Want to Believe. So I finished watching the show right in time for the new miniseries, and I decided to top it off with the second movie. The problem with this isn't necessarily that it's a long Monster of the Week episode, it's that it's a long, b-grade Monster Of The Week episode. That said, watching it immediately after the show left me more able to treat it as a two-part episode and appreciate the strengths it does have: A decent exploration of Mulder and Scully's relationship, alongside some cool effects and visual moments.

Casablanca: A great movie that I kicked myself for never seeing before. Claude Rains' character was particularly great.

Little Shop of Horrors: Very fun, although the ending felt a bit...off (didn't know about the original ending until after I saw it, which I'm now interested in seeing)

Shaun Of The Dead Fun movie, but I didn't cry laughing, except for the cameo scene, that one was gold.

I never undertood Casablanca. I undertand Citizen Kane, and that's because Kane fate is one that resonates with me. Casablanca, however, outside of the nazi invasion (which you can change with other things), I can't see to relate with the premise.

Meh, maybe I need to see it again. This also happened with the Godfather for me.

Smokey and the Bandit, followed by The Sting. Both films great in their way.

The Revenant. Even though I didn't quite love this, I can definitely tell why it's up for all those awards. It was also kind of funny to go to a movie set and filmed in the bitter cold, and have there be a snowstorm going on by the time you leave the theater.

But would you go so far as to say that it's the second-best wintery western released in the past month?

I saw The Hidden Fortress yesterday. I loved the spear duel. Toshiro Mifune is definitly the most badass entity in this planet and Kurosawa really knows how to make a fight scene.

The Road to El Dorado: I liked it. It was funny, exciting, and the animation was beautiful.

Freaky Friday (2003): I liked this one, too. It was full of funny moments.

  • Bloody Murder (2000): A bland, generic, and flaccid rip-off of Friday the 13th with not much going for it outside of some nice woodland/campground scenery.
  • Bloody Murder 2: Closing Camp (2003): Better, despite the seemingly decreased production values; it at least had nudity, gore (the deaths, especially the first and third, were surprisingly vicious) and marginally improved directorial skill.

The Art Of Rap. I found that there was a small section of the documentary section of my library's DVD shelves dedicated to music documentaries, and I aim on watching a bunch of them. This wasn't quite what I was expecting from the blurb - it's less Ice-T guiding you through an organized tour of hip-hop, and more Ice-T interviewing various other rappers about their personal experience with the genre, their creative process, etc... But that's pretty interesting too, and I liked the casual feel of most of the interviews because it added to this idea that the artists are also fans.

The first half of "The Mummy" - the Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz version. I would have watched the rest but I was too tired from a long assed day of sitting on buses.

Both of the Ghostbuster movies

Why did they make a sequel again? I mean, I didn't hate it, but it made no fucking sense why people would stop believing in ghosts if a several hundred foot tall marshmallow man randomly popped up and started tearing up town and got splattered everywhere in the first movie.

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
