TV/Movies Megathread

 Arakawa Under the Bridge was absolutely great. Now debating whether to watch Kaiba or Eden of the East while waiting for Madoka to finish.

Spice and Wolf is pretty great. I only just got around to watching the second season a month or so ago.

But actually- if you like no giant robots or weirdness, there's oodles and oodles of that. There are many anime with less fantastical elements than spice & wolf.


But really, this isn't a very useful post without a picture. Come for the wolf girl, stay for the economics.

mildred pierce has been rather excellent--if not as multi-layered and important as, say, magical meow meow taruto

Yup.  The latest bit with the sexy Turk I found especially goofy.

A great review of one of the classics of our era.

The newest episode of Hanasaku Iroha is now up. I am jubilant and shall watch it directly.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

Was really damn good. In fact, the more I think about it, the more I think it was even better than I thought when I first watched it.

It kind of made me feel old though - maybe one of the first movies I've watched where it really struck me that it was made for a very different generation than my own, and yet is not a kids movie.

Face it, B: our generation movies were over after The Breakfast Club, with only a sudden death-hiccups with Clerks and Heathers.

 It's my generation, though. I related to it and liked it while also feeling embarrassed because that was the case.

I had preconceived notions about the sort of people who liked the movie, but was forced to admit I was one of those people.

I hate you.

Why?

Have you seen the movie?

I thought absent from whether it is any good or not, it is pretty interesting to see where media and culture are going. This kind of stuff is the future.

Frankly, I think it is pretty damn neat, even if I have some trouble relating to it.

What was so goofy about it?

Ottoman Turk and smooth talking lounge lizard are not concepts that go together well in my mind.
