New avatar to up the total number of Saki images on the board. Your 'Su's, 'Kyaptain's, and 'Wahaha's are no match for Desu wa.

Just finished Kerouac's On The Road. I'm not really into the 'experience America' kind of novel, but Kerouac's jazz beat descriptions and melancholy outlook make it impossible to dislike. Starting Dazai's The Setting Sun. First chapter was great. I read No Longer Human and du...

I also really liked FLCL when I was younger. I was blown away by it really, and if you spend enough time with it and talking about it, you can read some meaning into it. At this point, however, I think I've kinda out grown the show. I didn't get much out of it the last time I tried to watch ...

When you watch a movie or read a book it should be about HOW the story is told and not WHAT the story is. This. It seems so simple and I've heard it a million times, but I finally got it a few days ago. What really did it for me was this youtube video I was watching called The Reality of the Vi...

I was really disappointed with nine. It was like wasted potential on tape. Lewis made a cool Fellini, by all rights a lot of the movie looked good. The problem was, it had some of the style of 8 1/2 but none of the soul. Anything that made 8 1/2 thought provoking or honest was replaced by either poo...

At least, unlike Eva, Paprika was never good to begin with.

Hmmm, these sound really interesting. Are any of them available on DVD? I'm pretty sure "Negima!?" is the only one licensed so far. It's kind of unfortunate, but expectable when most of the shows are pretty off-beat even for Japan (though I can't claim to understand what p...

:jawdrop: Moore's formalism and Gibbons art are two reasons the book was so great! I think the movie has a lot of style but very little formal substance. If were talking about writing style, yeah the book is out of the movie's league by a long shot. The art style of the book works very well...

^ What he said. The best part of that entire movie is the "revealing Doctor Manhattan's past montague"...that was EPIC. That was pretty good of them. I remember this being one of the most tedious parts of the book for me. I agree that it was a pretty solid adaptation. Though, I commen...

Hmm... I don’t want to sound pretentious or rude, but that overgeneralization completely destabilizes your agument. Read Alan Moore’s Promethea , for instance—part of which does deal with issues of morality—and tell me that it isn’t beautiful. Read Kazuo Koike's Lone Wolf and Cub (also deal...

I don't know manga enough to know whether there is any equivalent to the "I don't know what to do, so let's drop in another faux-JLA" which seems to be a recurrent motif The mode is different, but the end result of manga often meandering on in any direction to keep itself goin...

If Jesus likes the Hitler painting then by BrikHaus logic, he can also like near. Proving that he is in fact not a troll.
