...WE MUST. :guitarpunk: :headbang: I agree about the vocals on the early albums but, damn, it's hard to deny the intensity of Pure Holocaust and Battles in the North. At the Heart of Winter is actually my favorite because I think that's where they found the perfect balance of epic riffs, o...

identification is a scary thing. It easily makes one lose any semblance of objectivity in treating the characters... I've gone from "Shinji is the best protagonist ever" bla bla to having strong distaste for the boy. He is piloting for all the wrong reasons and doesn't do much tha...

I'm going to have to completely disagree. Beautiful cinematography is great, it doesn't excuse making me stare at a tree for three minutes because I clearly don't understand that war is bad. My main problem with Terrence Malick is he does not understand the difference between slow pacin...

(anyone know where to get The Terrorizers ?) I'm glad Oz quoted you because I missed this. There's actually an official release with English subs. You can get it here or in this box set. ^Looks like we came to pretty much the same conclusion about the movie. Although I missed the pa...

What I meant was that whenever fans defend Shinji, they do it for emotional reasons, not for ascetic or analytical reasons. That's not bad or anything, but when it gets to the point where 99.9 percent of the fanbase defend him because he touched them in way they never expected, then something h...

I seriously didn´t expect this thread to hit 2 pages after one day. You're asking about Asian films in the film sub-forum of EvaGeeks... I will add two Iranian movies to the list, both provided very insightful and pure-hearted look at children and their world: - Children of Heaven 1997 directed...

The mentions of seeing films with friends reminds me that the two worst films I was ever "coerced" into seeing was Wild Hogs and Balls of Fury. Worst as in - Worst "Good" Movie? The Thin Red Line . Blasphemy! One of my rare 10s and is in my Top 40. Probably the most gorgeously sh...

That movie A Room with a view was what got me to start reading Victorian "bourgeois novels" back when I was still in high school. I credit the movie for opening my eyes for the lush and period rich films by Ivory & Merchant, knowing more about the Victorian age, and arousing my intere...

I've heard Opeth a few times, it's a good band but I don't listen to it frequently. I'm not into those Prog Death(or whatever you call it) things. Looks like we're opposites, haha, I'm really into Burzum and Mayhem, for example. Opeth are certainly more prog than dea...

Rarely do I see the rest of the cast get this sort of treatment, You aren't paying attention. I just think that Shinji provokes more hatred and the backlash is that he inspires more defense too. and I can't help but think that maybe this problem underlines a deeper problem we as fans have t...

Who is your favorite Czech composer and why? From what I've heard (not a ton) I really dig Leos Janacek. His Glagolitic Mass is epic, his smaller songs are really haunting (especially The Diary of One Who Disappeared), and Jenufa is an underrated, really great opera. I also love...
