I actually do like some anime, although there’s a lot I haven’t seen. I have seen a lot of Studio Ghibli’s filmography and other Japanese animated features in that style, but I don’t know if that counts as anime. I actually do read a good amount of manga, even for anime I haven’t seen.

I think it was finished but not released.
It’s a different scan. SilverWook’s was more saturated with warmer colors. See No Evil’s upon inspection resembles the 1999 DVD and earlier editions.

I got to go to New York for the first time in my life. I’m currently on the Met writing this.
Fantasia is better than any movie from the Disney Renaissance.
Where can I get access to the scan?
Based off the print, the 1999 DVD appears to be the most accurate. Is this actually true, or is the 4K more accurate?
I honesty don’t understand why Blade Runner was rated R.
The instances of violence are very few and pretty tame. The only instance of strong swearing is when Roy Batty calls Tyrell “fucker”, which in other versions has been changed to “father”. Joanna Cassidy’s topless scene isn’t titilating at all, just a woman getting dressed.
One line in the theatrical cut’s narration contains a slur.
Which release of the original RoboCop is the most accurate to the original version? The Criterion version looks more like a release print but the Arrow version looks completely different and was supervised by Paul Verhoeven. So is that version revisionist?
Tar. Great story with amazing acting, editing, cinematography and music. The third act could have been a bit better though.
If I remember correctly, the reason Kubrick shot his films after 2001 in open matte was because of the higher resolution of the aspect ratio.
The 2003 Clone Wars is better than the 2008 Clone Wars.
True Lies.
Tara Strong and Grey DeLisle.
Futurama is better than The Simpsons ever was, even in the early seasons.
Inglorious Basterds is Quentin Tarantino’s best film.
The Director’s Cut of Donnie Darko is the superior version.
Taylor Swift is the single most overrated artist in modern years.
Status Update: I don’t need the HDTV version anymore. I’ve come around to the UHD in the past two years and trust Bill Pope knows what he’s talking about. The HDTV/DVD is actually very washed out and lacking contrast.
I just watched Donnie Darko for the first time last night, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a movie that feels like it before. It perfectly captures how it feels to be alienated from the world around you, while at the same time including surrealist, almost spiritual elements that honestly blew my mind while watching it. I was expecting it to just be okay, but it ended up being possibly one of my favorite movies of all time.
Just one little issue, though: the version that I watched was the Director’s Cut. I didn’t realize it until the movie was already done, but after looking it up, it seems like the hardcore Donnie Darko fans absolutely hate that version of the movie. I personally like most of the changes that were made, and I don’t think my enjoyment of the movie has been impacted at all, but I’m still worried that I accidentally got an inferior experience. Should I watch the original version of the movie, or am I worried over nothing?
My thoughts exactly. It’s one of my favorite films at the moment.
Cereal is better without milk.
The mono mix of The Shining hasn’t been released since the 1999 DVD.
