    Especially for movies that's not true.

    But then again you can't really compare an adaption of an anime cranked out on a slave driver production schedule that sells of brand recognition alone to a Koreeda movie.

    When it comes to entertainment value, that is totally true.

    Koreeda is comparable to an indy film director. He isn't doing blockbusters. Nobody knows what Nobody Knows is.

    Maybe I just misunderstood you. That read like you thought they have a different value for good acting.

    But we're on the same page. They know their TV dramas and shit are overacted drivel.

    In any case the only good precedent I see for the GITS movie is Edge of Tomorrow since that's also Americanized and done by a major studio with stars attached to sell it. I don't think Oldboy or any Japanese adaption is really comparable. And it had a director with a meh track record. and it was also good so i am hopeful

    I didn't even know FMP was in talks.

    I only know as far as Hollywood adaptions go there's still Akira and Battle Angel Alita dying somewhere. And since the latter is Cameron's own little baby it's not going to go anywhere near production as long as we don't have Avatar 3.

    Wasn't that many years ago? And I think it was just that the guy was a fan of FMP and would like to do a live-action but probably wouldn't or something.

    Uh, I didn't know that.

    They will probably stagnate like most live-actions anyway. Directors changes, scriptwriter changes, actor changes and that's if they decide to pursue this venture.

    every movie is a project from a business standpoint

    projects fail a lot more often than they succeed

    Watched Into the Woods

    It was... ok...

    I feel like the plot was written to just shoehorn in as many musical pieces as they could so it ended up being random and disjointed.
    Code:
    [07:55:59] <Spinach> Take off your clothes Kirby
    [07:56:07] <Kirby> I'm in class
    
    [20:37:34] <Lian|phone> there is a such thing as lingerie for guys?
    [20:37:54] <Kyokushi> yea
    [20:37:57] <Kyokushi> they're called jockstraps
    [20:38:02] <Lian|phone> :o
    [20:38:07] * Lian|phone googles
    [20:38:10] <Kyokushi> NO
    [20:38:11] <Kyokushi> DON'T
    [20:40:07] <Lian|phone> okay
    [20:40:16] <Lian|phone> I don't think I should have googled that
    
    [12:59:30]  <Spinach> call me onii-chan, bitch

    It left a bit out from the play I hear. As for the movie itself, that gay prince scene, oh my god.

    Efron as Sousuke? Not seeing it, though I think he'd make an okay Kurz (he has the looks but matching up to Shinichiro's voice ain't happening). Problem now is that I can't think of any young actors without having to resort to looking up random shows on Disney Channel or Nickolodeon, maybe Taylor Lautner?

    Is it bad that I haven't seen predator, alien, terminator and loads of classic films (or most other films for that matter). Stuff like pulp fiction.

    No Alien is a massive hole in your SF and no T2 is a massive hole in classic action.

    Things like Predator and Alien aren't really something I'd call required viewing anyway. The only reason you'd need either is because nerd media likes doing epic references to those two, neither of them is really influential in any meaningful manner.

    Alien I guess is influential but only for schlock and if you are a fan of horror schlock you already saw Alien anyway so lol.
