Movies
I watched Citizen Kane for the first time today. I was bitterly disappointed, not because I thought it was a bad film but because every man and his dog that knows their salt about movies claims it to be one of the most poignant and powerful films in cinematic history.
Well, it was good. But it wasn't that good. I'm confused. I liked the clever shots and lighting but I can't fathom how it is apparently the most important film ever. Am I missing something here?
I also watched Ninja Scroll. Which was aceness in a can. Can't really go wrong with a bit of violent Anime now and again.
Apparently the dudes in Hollywood are making a live action Akira (set in "New Manhattan", WTF?!) and Ghost In The Shell. I'm worried they're going to majorly mess those two up. Although, to be fair, if the blokes in LA can do Watchmen pretty well then there might be some hope. But I'm not holding out.
