While I didn’t really like watching the film (clearly it’s intended to be… adversarial to the viewer), I gotta say, it’s shocking to me that it was banned from Vimeo, of all places. Tasteless it is, sexually stimulating it ain’t.

I’m so excited for this. I loved both the comic and the movie, and the trailer looks great.

I haven’t bothered with DC movies since Wonder Woman (2017). It was an OK movie, and then I stepped outside and forgot about it. So I can’t speak to how bad those movies are, haha. With Marvel, I do think the quality is good, it’s just that I’m not interested anymore. I have a hard time understanding how anyone is still excited after 15 continuous years of the same stuff.

Haha, thanks!

I’m just bored of superheroes in general, I think. I watched up to the first Avengers movie as they came out, and kind of lost interest after that. GotG was fun, and I liked the first Black Panther. Loved Thor: Ragnarok. There’s just probably a limit to how much someone can do with that set of concepts without getting repetitive.

I missed this one. It was in my Netflix list for the longest time, but it looks like they’ve finally taken it away (for now at least).

Paprika is one of my favorites, I’ve seen it a few times. I’m a little surprised that you describe it as “grounded and straightforward”–the first time I saw it, I found it a bit hard to follow. On rewatches, it becomes easier to spot clues as to what’s going on earlier in the film, but even then, it has a lot of threads to keep track of.

I’m a little embarrassed that this is the only Satoshi Kon film I’ve seen. A lot of people I know are wild about Tokyo Godfathers, but I’ve never actually seen that one.

Many thanks! I’d be willing to mod as well. I’m not always online but I check in a few times a week, usually.

i would love to see revivals of old franchises go the way of the dodo. i am as nostalgic as any millennial but if i want to see indiana jones or ghostbusters or whatever, i’ll just watch the originals.

i don’t think the superhero franchises are going anywhere, unfortunately. they are still reliable, even with some people losing interest over time. it seems like a good moneymaking bet for disney at least. and all the studios seem really risk-averse lately, more than they used to be.
