    a morphine addicted orphan arrives in a seaside village in rhode island with his invisible pan dimensional demi-god in tow. the mischief never lets up as racist light house keepers are flayed alive, young girls are dragged to monoliths on the open sea, and doc terminus, a crazed necromancer, learns about forgiveness. 9/10

    lol

    I think this (80ish) is a pricepoint people consider BTC to be "cheap"... it's double digits after a while and it doesn't look like it's dropping...very much.

    this might be the bottom *crosses fingers*

    Yeah well I guess not :(

    I was a fan of Spirited Away as a kid and I decided to watch some of Miyazaki's other movies this weekend, like My Neighbor Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service, but I kept feeling grossly underwhelmed. Like Spirited Away, the plots feel... off. Someting about them isn't satisfying and some of the characters' behaviors confuse or annoy me. (Although I was totally enthralled by the atmosphere and the setting execution of Kiki's Delivery Service, whose plot also satisfied me much more than Spirited)

     

    But then I watched Mononoke Hime, and WOW. What a fantastic movie. Definitely going in my top 10. The characters are extremely relatable for me and I really just identify with the movie all around. Great movie, would love to see more like this if anyone can recommend anything.

    Nausicaa. Although I haven't watched Mononoke in like 10 years, maybe even more. It's very much like Mononoke, only more hardcore. But in terms of great characters - I really don't think Porco Rosso can be beat.

    moonrise kingdom - etsy/10

    What does etsy mean?

    I thought MK was ok but they really need to lay off these self aware camera movements because they are becoming unsustainable. And detracting from the narrative. Needs a fresh approach. The scene where the dog got killed was a piece of shit.

    etsy.com bro, if you just go to the homepage of that site you'll see all these carefully cultivated displays of quirky items, vintage curiosities, hip retro stuff, etc. i felt like MK was like the movie version of this: everything from the camera work, the dialog, the music, etc. was also so preciously composed and about as vapid as a shop window.

     

    basically wes anderson just makes the same exact movie over and over, viz. quirky dysfunctional families have wacky adventures and everything looks like some hip vintage shop. MK was especially bad though imo, by the time they reached the church during the flood it was like the script completely unraveled into this ridiculous hodge-podge of cutsey bullshit. it's also pretty impressive that he can get perfectly good actors to be completely flat and boring.

     

    except bill murray who is just one of those guys who seems to always be funny imo

    This. All this and exactly like this.
