The first Matrix? I mean, I know it wasn't a direct translation of any one anime, but I think it did a good job of translating the feel and action of cyberpunky stuff like Ghost In The Shell.

I will say this — his opening credits sequences on the Dawn of the Dead remake and Watchmen were both pretty awesome. Maybe he should just do that — direct the opening credit sequences to movies.

Btw, Have They Fired Snyder And Hired A Good Director Yet?
Or, failing that, a competent one?

Ha! I've always hated their music. Is it "hipster" to dislike crappy music? I thought it was "hipster" to LOVE crappy music and be all elitist about it as a way to overcompensate for having no discernible taste, talent, or ideas. Shows how much I know about "hipster" culture… They're the oddly judgmental ones

Turns Out She Was Pretty Hot, Though
Especially in the star-spangled panties beating up 'roidragers with her crappy cgi lasso.

I dunno. Maybe it'll be good? Maybe.

I would like to bluntly communicate that I get an erection from watching Olivia Wilde in whatever it is she does.

@Yawn: Without us to justifiably hate and ridicule, where would you direct your ire? You need us. We're the running joke of the world. It's just a pity that we're such a dangerously stupid, violent nation. When armageddon comes, you can pretty much guarantee it's gonna be started by us. Allow me to apologize

I really don't understand why "America, Fuck Yeah!" hasn't been made the National Anthem yet. It perfectly reflects and projects the American mindset WAY more than "Star Spangled Banner" ever did.

Awesome! I Can't Wait To See Them Turn This Cool Anime Into A Crappy Live-Action Movie!
Sigh.

I like how they talk about how rich they are over someone else's genius. Zzzzzzzzzz…

I Think I'm The Only Person Who Thinks "Witch House" Is A Great Subgenre Name
I mean, okay, right, the seemingly perpetual need to categorize and subcategorize every minute variation on a theme into a genre is silly and self-defeating, but I like the sound of the name "witch house." It conjures half-lidded, syrupy

Aww, Lemur, you are WAY over-involved in Harry Potter. How old are you? If it's over 13 and you're *that* emotionally invested in it? To the point that you would call someone you don't even know an asshole for making fun of it? That's sad. Scratch that, it's beyond sad, it's depressing. I feel sorry for you.

Doesn't hold a candle (magic or otherwise) to Ripley's "Get away from her, you bitch!"

Zombie Stanley Kubrick: "2012 II"

I Want A Ke$ha Fragrance
It smells like sweat, b.o., likker, meth, robitussin, and fresh abortions.

Just Kill It Already! Nobody Wants To See Your Crappy Amerikira.
Who exactly do they think will see this? The fan base won't see it 'cause it's gonna be a crappy, Americanized, white-washed travesty, and the mainstream audience won't see it 'cause they don't know what the fuck it is.

@Larry / @Ciuacru: Sadly, I missed it. So was it actually good? And by good I mean hilariously over-the-top bad (obviously)? If so, I'm ashamed of myself… I just assumed it would be some boring, watered down bullshit.

SPOILER!
The Norwegians die and the shape-shifting alien gets away in the form of a dog.

This Is EXACTLY What 3D Was Meant For!
Cheesy, over-the-top, hard-R exploitation! Tell me that it's being directed by Paul Verhoeven and I'll immediately explode into a sense-shattering nerdgasm. Can I order my ticket now? And will it be in IMAX?
