Very Bad Things was excellent. I still haven't seen Death to Smoochy, and I've never heard of Comic Book Viallians. When did it come out?

[End Master]

It came out in 2002. It’s one of those independent movies that Lions Gate Film distributed, but I don’t think it ever played in the theaters or if it did, it didn't play for very long or in very many.

It’s basically about two competing comic shops and their rivalry that gets way out of hand.

[apotheosis]

Death to Smoochy and Spirited Away were both excellent films. Spirited Away is in my opinion the best animated film ever made.

Oh, and I just got done with Fritz the Cat, the first pornographic theatrically released film ever. It was really warped, but I enjoyed it. Many parts seemed unecessary though... I think the film would have been better on some sort of substance. Still, I recommend everyone watch it at least once. A good commentary on society in the 60's.

[End Master]

R. Crumb hated that movie so much that he ended up killing off the character in his comics. There's a weird ass documentary on him too called "Crumb." It's pretty interesting.

But don’t watch “Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat” which is the sequel to the first one. It seriously sucks.

[apotheosis]

I'll take your word for it. The one thing I have to say about Fritz though is all the females in that movie had really nice breasts. Crumb must've had a breast fetish... but yeah, I heard that he sued to get his name taken out of the credits. That guy has issues.

Hey EndMaster,I just finished another one you might like;its called Pathfinder.Its about a viking boy who is abandoned by his people while marauding naitive american villages and is raised by the indians.After he is grown up more vikings come as one would expect and he must defend his new people.As cheesy as this little synopsis sounds,this movie was really well done.The director doesnt mess around with a whole bunch of sub drama,he delves right into the action.If you like sword fights and the like,this one is pretty good.I cant believe I had never heard of it till a couple of days ago.It comes out on DVD tuesday I think.






Apoth: you should check out Kafka by Crumb,you will be shocked.

[End Master]

Hmm Crumb had more of an ass fetish, but yeah he definitely liked the breasts too. He liked stocky women in general though. All you have to do is look at any of his drawings. Watch the documentary on him and you’ll see his whole family has issues.

Yeah, I was going to go see Pathfinder when it came out, but I just never got around to it. Guess that’s another to put on the viewing list.

[Hi! My name is: Katie]

I liked Spirited Away, but I think a lot of the cultural references were a bit over my head. I would have liked to have someone to talk to about it after seeing it.

Personally, my favorite movie in that same genre is My Neighbor Totoro, it's so cute!

I like cartoons a lot, End and I were just talking about Animaniacs recently. He was telling me about Katie Ka-Boom... no relation I assure you. Anyway, it got me thinking about my favorite cartoons. I really liked My Little Ponies as a girl, and I have fond memories of the Chipmunks. More recently I've watched some pretty fascinating Japanese cartoon series I get them from my library.

Read Or Die was a lot of fun.

Witchhunter Robin was interesting

Noir is my favorite... even though it walks that lezzy line very closely.

Cowboy BeBop was pretty sweet- the American dude's voice is just yummy... nice and deep, I could listen to that theme song forever!

Anyway, what other anime or cartoon flicks do you guys recommend?

[End Master]

Vampire Hunter D was good. There’s probably a whole series of books, but I only saw the movie. Demon City Shinjuku was alright.

I thought Akira was overrated. I finally got around to watching it last year and I didn't quite see the big deal of it. Though maybe I was expecting more since it was always getting hyped up as the greatest thing ever.

As far as the old cartoons you mentioned watching when you were little, the main ones that I used to watch religiously when I was young were He-Man, Voltron, G.I. Joe and Thundercats.

[donteatpoop]

Did you see the second Vampire Hunter D, bloodlust?


It's good shit.

[End Master]

No I didn’t. I didn’t even know there was a second one. Another one to put on the ever growing viewing list.

[apotheosis]

I watched The Simpson's Movie today. It was pretty good. I can send anyone a link if they want it to watch the movie on their computer. Someone's head is blocking part of the screen for 10 minutes, but other than that it is a pretty good quality internet video.

[Vesnic]

I never got a chance to diddle Ingmar! Any other Bergman fans in the house? I think I'll watch Persona tonight in his honor.

Wish I had something profound and meaningful to say about his work, but...

R.I.P., Ingy, R.I.P.

I watched Love and Death last night. It had some very good dialouge and great quotes, though I found parts of the movie weak. Overall it was good but not as good as my friend hyped it up to be. Still, some amazing sequences within it. The impromptu existential philosophical discussions were hilarious.

[apotheosis]

Alright, going to update it with some movies I watched.

First off, I just finished Cruel Intentions. That movie was fucking hot. Not sure what else to say except damn, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Reese Witherspoon were very... very... very hot. It was sort of like a particularly twisted Shakespeare play... but a hell of a lot better. Very twisted... though I think they could've kicked it up a few notches in cruelty. Then again, I'm a sadist when it comes to films.

Next we have Highlander. I had seen it before but when I was very young. It was very silly and dumb but I still enjoyed it. Not much else to say besides that.


And.... I've watched a bunch more movies.... but I'm feeling quite tired and think I may go lay down soon... so I'll update more later....

Oh yeah, I watched Cinderella Man. It was decent. Took itself to seriously though. Still, an enjoyable film.
