I like movies. I like violent movies like Sin City. Old boy – disturbing, but just wow, what a story. Starship Troopers – people really need to figure out what it was all about, and dammit it was a wonderful telling of the book.
There I am tonight watching Sweet Home Alabama. Intially I didn’t think much of it. The problem is that I’ve developed a liking for the romantic comedy/dramas, and tonight was one of the many times.
We’ve got other flicks too. Office Space, which is a romantic comedy dressed up as a work sucks flick.
Then there’s my love of Japanese animation. I’m not a big fan of the giant robot genre, but I do have the essentials – Neon Genesis Evangelion. But what I really like are the ones that have just a touch of mysticism in them. A series which I picked up last Christmas when I was in New Zealand was Haibane Renmei, which is truly beautiful. It’s the tale of a girl with charcoal feathers, and tells a wonderful tale. More recently I’ve got the series Air, which is subtitled only, and I love it. It’s a story told over the course of a Summer. It has characters that you just fall in love with.
Ahh, zombie movies. Tonight I’m watching the Romero ‘Dawn of the Dead‘. I love the original version for the slow zombies and their inexhorable march after the humans.
I wonder how Rob and Edie are doing?
