I loved his role in Red Cliff, but I had to go back and look over what films he's in. I've seen a bunch of them and enjoyed him in them, but never connected him as the same guy.
So... yeah? sort of?

He was ridiculously good in Red Cliff, but who CAN'T you say that about?

After that movie, I hit every Chinese historical epic Netflix had.

How do you do videos?

YOu link to them from else where (at least on the Comm board).

They disabled putting videos in posts (again, I think only on the comm board because this is the only place chat is allowed).

You Can (Not) Live without watching 2.0! It is the best one!

Ah? Well to be fair I kinda only read the manga. And then only up to the point where my local library quit carrying them.

Hehehehe... *rubs head nervously*

I hear it didn't have much "Godzilla" in it for a movie called "Godzilla". Is that true?

those complaining about that?

have never seen a Godzilla film.

Gfilms typically don't have a lot of the Big Guy. . . tons of set up, with one or two show stopper battles.

This film has more Godzilla in it than several of the most recent Toho films in the series

I have yet to watch Buffy. Would that be considered sacrilege?

I am okay, a very dark morning because of cloudiness. I think its going to rain but I still want to go shopping later!

How are you Rozen?

I'm okay, enjoying the quiet night. I also just saw Madoka Magica: Rebellion, so...fun times.

[bert]

Fair enough. I understand where you're coming from with that. So it's got a good set=up and plot then?

actually the human characters (for the most part) are terribly underwritten. . . seriously, why is Ashley Olsen even IN this film?

but still a solid B film. . . recommended.

Well yeah but they're usually setting up some OTHER big monster for him to fight.

Well THAT should correct the critics.

[Pharozonk]

Well yeah but they're usually setting up some OTHER big monster for him to fight.

Well, this movie has that in spades. You spend a lot more time with the antagonist monsters than while Godzilla himself.

yep. . there's a TON of set up of the other mosters. . who are onscreen more often early in the film.

Just remember my recommendation if you ever have a chance to watch 2.0!

Have you watch any of the anime series or the Rebuild movies?

I'm okay, enjoying the quiet night. I also just saw Madoka Magica: Rebellion, so...fun times.

Good that you are having fun! Would you highly recommed Madoka Magica? It is so gloomy here:


But I still went out shopping. That is the nice thing about having a car!

[Sprite]

Well, this movie has that in spades. You spend a lot more time with the antagonist monsters than while Godzilla himself.

I actually liked that they went with the Jaws route for Godzilla. It made the climax all the more cathartic.

[Pharozonk]

Have you seen KISS in concert, bert? I saw them a few years ago and it was a blast.

[Pól Rua]

Fair enough. I understand where you're coming from with that. So it's got a good set=up and plot then?

Dunno. Haven't seen it yet. I'll be seeing it on Tuesday, but the first film is pretty much like that. There's a TON of build-up and it's ages before you see more than brief glimpses of the monster itself either in deep shadow or through clouds of smoke.
It really builds it up so that, by the time you get the Big Full Shot Reveal, it's like DAMN! Godzilla Mother[hugger]!

After that movie, I hit every Chinese historical epic Netflix had.

I do love me a good Chinese historical epic, and I'm a sucker for anything 'Three Kingdoms' related.
I got into the HK stuff (pretty much with everyone else) in the Early 90's with Tsui Hark and John Woo's stuff (not to mention seeing Jackie Chan's 'Police Story' at a local film festival) and I've been hooked ever since.

[GozertheGozarian]

Top 5 cartoons was pretty easy.

5. Gargoyles
4. God, the Devil, and Bob
3. Venture Brothers
2. Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys
1. Daria
