Thank you, I feel more justified in pretending the movie doesn't exist.
I just finished watching the live action version of Mushishi. It was...good. An anime adaptation that was good. I think I need to go lie down.
Well, the anime and manga are still better, but the movie while taking some individual stories from the manga and bundling them all together makes it something new but is true to the original story at the same time. Its a slow paced and mellow movie, but the anime was generally mellow as well, I think this will be a movie for sick days. It was absolutely gorgeous as well, it doesn't hit you over the head with animation or cgi thank god, and when its there you know its not top of the art but they make it fit and seem right, if that makes sense.
I think the translations for the subtitles was off though, like when Nui is talking about Ginko's mother she says she died in a flood when she actually died in a landslide. It felt off in other places but thats the one that stuck out, I'll watch it dubbed next time.

The last movie I watched was "The Book of Eli." Although it did have an excessively religious overtone, I rather enjoyed the movie a lot. It didn't have the cliche pretty-boy white guy as the protagonist for one, and I also love the post apocalyptic environment. People abandoning their "civilized" morals and clinging to the most basic of instincts to survive. It's about as (realistically) dark as you can get, without a bunch of abstract theorizing on the thought processes of a serial killer or someone of equal mental perversion.

Heh, I saw it with a friend of mine today. First time I've seen a film in 3D. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Not as good as I had imagined.

It's not a movie, but I watched a collection of Alfred Hitchcock Presents episodes.

Hm. This is what everyone keeps saying, and I can see how it is; it's a really good movie. But I think modern film as ruined it for me with all the other psycho killers. Or I need to rewatch and absorb.
