Phasma is even more pointless than Mari in Rebuild. It's been an utter waste of Gwendoline Christie.

True? Didn't like it, or just got sidetracked? I read the synopsis and I thought it sounded like Perfect Blue with cyberpunk/sci-fi, which struck me as my kind of thing. Keen to hear your thoughts (minus spoilers, of course). The plot just wasn't going anywhere and unlike Perfect Blue , who had a p...

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is a bad movie Just from the trailer alone, it looked like it was going to be absolute shit and I had zero interest in seeing it.I was holding out some small modicum of hope that it might be passable fare, but it looks like I needn't waste my time. Thus, JW:FK will be...

No shit, I actually started reading this just last month, but I've all but dropped it about a third of the way in.

I was suggesting, metaphorically, that Pacific Rim is true to its anime/kaiju film/mecha influences and the dip in quality in the sequel is as if Americans tried to replicate it with the same fidelity that they brought over the feel of Ghost in the Shell, Dragonball, Godzilla (in 1998) etc. I know ...

...and the Right's drift towards authoritarianism continues.

That would make sense, given that all of the tracks for Q were titled in French.

He has to be recording at least SOME material for Final. Hopefully, he cools it with the corny male choir tracks. Shit has been cringe.

I actually was able to enjoy Solo more than TLJ simply because I had less things to gripe about, with the major exception of the twist at the end. It felt pointlessly dark and not earned. I would have been able to accept it if the reveal has been, say, of Boba Fett, but Maul just seemed too dark for...

To me, the photo and captions indicate that Tsurumaki and a production associate are working on storyboarding an action sequence with a brand new Eva unit that they don't want anyone to know about yet, as the precise name has been censored. My guess is that it's some upgraded form of Unit 01, since ...

Net neutrality survives again: https://gizmodo.com/senate-votes-to-save-net-neutrality-proving-shame-stil-1826054197 Well, now it has to go to the House of Representatives, where they need signatures from a majority of attendees before they can even vote on it, and then (if it passes the House) to ...

I just recently learned that 3 of the Shinkansen train lines are named Hikari, Nozomi, and Kodama. So, basically all the Horakis are named after speedy trains.

I have absolutely zero idea what "David Lynch script" means. Please don't assume that everyone here - or even the majority - would always be familiar with whatever people's names you mention. You best sit your fuckin' ass down in front of some fuckin' Twin Peaks, son! And I don't mean dem...

In terms of all soundtracks across the franchise, I think that Sagisu peaked with his work for EOE. It contains some truly mesmerizing orchestral and choral pieces without it becoming cheesy or overblown....like the majority of his action tracks for the Rebuild films. I absolutely cannot fucking sta...

Barbara Bush, 92.

Expect H.W. to follow soon.

If you got knocked up the day 3.0 came out, the resulting child would be about to enter kindergarten right now.

Strictly Ghosts isn't finished, in that Bagheera has said he may add more to it sometime; but it's gone a while without, and it covers its chronological limits satisfactorily. I suppose he might want to bring up some more psychological matters. It didn't really seem as though there was much more th...

Might be wrong on this but doesn't Japanese animation do voice work later on in the process compared to western animation? I know that in Pixar stuff and TV cartoons voice work is usually done early on with animation done afterwards. If Anno is already doing some editing then there's a good chance ...
