Leon is such a good movie. One of the first of the Oldman unhinged performances I can remember.

Daniel Craig is so great in that movie. I’m here for the Daniel Craig funny accent universe.

Right! I love Alex Garland so I’m in just off of him being involved. But the premise, Jesse Plemons and Kirstin Dunst (fantastic in Fargo season 2), and Nick Offerman have me hyped.

So sad. I know he’s mostly known nowadays for Brooklyn 99, but I first remember him from Primal Fear.

Of course, I think OP just saw the taglines that referenced it and wasn’t aware of the actual community posts. I’m one of the leads of the Community Team, so could, naturally, tell you more, haha. Thanks for subbing!

It truly is. Smoother animation and so much detail.

I’d definitely recommend seeing it. It’s really nothing like Spirited Away outside of both having a kid going into another world. The themes have some crossover but are not really the same.

Well I very much enjoyed it. It’s perhaps Miyazaki’s most beautiful film. There’s so much detail and the animation is top notch. I was particularly impressed with the sound design.

I saw the English Dub, since I’ve never watched any Ghibli film dubbed before and this has a stacked cast. Ill rewatch it in Japanese at some point. They were all great, especially the kid who plays Mahito, Luca Padovan. Christian Bale, while good, felt a little like he was in a different movie with his regional American accent he was doing, that no one else did. Robert Pattinson’s voice was completely unrecognizable and I continue to praise him despite all the people hating on him because they only know him from Twilight.

The themes of getting over grief/anger are present like a lot of Ghibli films and they are done so well here. Well deserving to be Miyazaki’s last film and a great addition to his legacy.

IMO, on the Game Awards where it was announced, he looked extremely nervous to say much of anything. And he seemed like he was trying to downplay what the game has with his comments on it being a small team working on it. Which I don’t blame him.

Hopefully it’s 90 minutes of Slipknot climbing things.

Awesome! They have great chemistry and I love that they don’t always agree on movies. Gives a good variety of opinions. Jeff Cannata also does a podcast called DLC, as well as a interesting science podcast called We Have Concerns, if you’re into those at all.

Just got back and I loved it. I put more thoughts in another comment.

Loved it. Maybe even more than Shin, but I think being a veteran with PTSD let me connect to this story a lot. I couldn’t help but feel for Koichi, with how he was fighting his own war internally. Hit very close to home. When he got pushed into the alley, I just felt like “how much more survivors guilt can this guy have”. And it hit me hard when he was asked if his war was finally over.

But as far as Godzilla goes, loved his design. He was so menacing in this. Not an anti-hero, nor a “good guy”. He was a monster just destroying everything. The boat chase scene, he just looked evil. The atomic breath design was a highlight and the explosions that it made were incredible.

The cinematography was so well done, especially the 3rd act. The whole movie had very much an anime feel IMO. Lots of Attack on Titan vibes, especially with how Godzilla moved. I loved the boat captain, he felt the most like an anime character to me.

If you’re a Godzilla fan at all, you’ll enjoy it.

Probably depends on the venue. But openers are usually only 5-15 min or so anyway, depending on how many and how the show is structured. Chappelle was disappointing, but not enough to ruin the rest of the show. I was happy to stay for Jon Mulaney’s set which was fantastic.

It would be so incredibly easy to shut up about trans people

It was like 4 or 5 specials in a row too. He was a surprise opener when I saw Jon Mulaney last year and he went on another trans rant there. Very disappointing.

Lol, I just noticed your other comment. Thanks for responding to this one as well! Good to hear!
