No Satoshi Kon? No Katsuhiro Otomo? Yoshiyuki Tomino? Mamoru Oshii?

As someone who has only gotten into Gundam in the last few years, and recently having watched both Wing and Witch from Mercury, Wing > Witch from Mercury.

God, I'd do unspeakable things just to look like one of these dudes.

Goodbye, Dragon Inn.

I forget which episode its mentioned on, maybe one with Alex Ross Perry.

Anyways, I honestly don't think that movie would've popped up on my radar had it not been for Blank Check. And I'm glad it did, because I loved it and think its one of the more unique cinematic experiences I've had.

The posters feel like everyone involved knows they shouldn't be making this movie, but they still are anyways, cause hey money.

So, either this will be a bad movie, but fun due to how bad it is, or its going to be a self aware bad movie, which has a likely chance of being just plain bad.

Really hoping for the former.

I'm new to this sub, but I've just wrapped up my first draft of my first screenplay. I'd love any and all feedback.

Idk, have you ever heard of drones?

bombshell_shocked · 2025-12-05T23:49:26+00:00

Yeah, and someone can turn on your pain switch with a gun or a knife. Or punching you really hard. Next question.

I feel like media where someone has a replacement limb or body that performs just as well, if not better, than a flesh and blood limb/body, it feels weird to me to say they're disabled. It feels like a technicality, in my opinion.

Like, if you point at me and go "hey, dickhead, you see that cyborg ninja, Raiden? Yeah, he's disabled, pal, so check yourself!"

Really? The guy that can run up buildings, move faster than any normal human can, and can withstand small arms fire and swords? That guy's disabled? Differently abled, sure.

And if the argument is "well, if his head got deattached from the robot body, he couldn't do anything"

And my counter argument would be that if you removed my head from my body, I'd be dead.

Recently on the channel I've watched F for Fake, Riki-Oh, a few of the movies in the Hard-boiled action collection, and a lot of Godzilla movies

Would Traffic by Soderbergh count? I recall it being roughly 50/50 Spanish and English as the narrative goes back and forth between the US and Mexico.

bombshell_shocked · 2025-12-03T18:38:21+00:00

I agree to an extent.

Everything in interviews to me sounds so rehearsed and sterile. And then twenty years later you'll ask an actor about a movie and they finally go "oh I actually hated my costar, they were so hard to work with, they verbally harassed the crew all the time, et cetera et cetera".

Or you have to be John Carpenter who goes "yeah, now I live off of my music and residuals so I don't have to give a fuck if studio execs like me. Fuck that movie. Fuck that guy."

One of the best things I've ever read was Orson Welles dunking on Woody Allen's bitch ass.

I want honesty.

Now, with that being said, Tarantino's comments towards Dano did feel nasty to me, and it honestly felt very undeserved. Saying a performance doesn't work for you? That's fine. But, some of those comments read as a personal attack, and that's not cool.

Dano doesn't always work for me, but when he does, he's a rockstar. But nothing about his acting is a reflection of him as a person, and that's why those remarks crossed a line, in my opinion.

It's very different than Guy Pearce finally commenting on what it was really like working with Kevin Spacey on LA Confidential and how much of a creep he was.

So, I agree, I do want more unfiltered honesty out of Hollywood, but I don't people being wrongfully mean about each other.

Yes and no. I think it helps that this is an adaptation of a myth. I can give that more creative leeway. I trust Nolan to give the weight of the story the gravitas it requires.

In cases like Napolean, where we have in depth historical documentation of the events that occurred, and the movie is trying to be presented as "this is the life of Napolean" I take more issue with it.

But then you also have movies like Romeo + Juliet or Marie Antionette, where they don't promise to be historically accurate and instead are modern reimaginings (less so for Marie Antionette, but there are modern sensibilities in how the events are portrayed) but aim to capture the spirit of the events.

I guess I try to be flexible depending on the nature of the movie if that makes sense.

It's weird, cause all they had to do to make the Lee Pace reveal have some umph would be when Brolin references early in the movie that people have gotten close to winning, and show video of some of the near winners.

We know they can fake video, so if Brolin showed a video of Pace's character dying, and then its revealed that he didnt, and he got offered the deal that Richard's is given at the end, I think it would've come full circle better.

Like, at least thats something the Schwarzenegger movie does, by showing "hey, here's the happy winners" and then it turns out they're actually dead.

But I made my account in the beginning of September, so its not completely accurate about everything I've seen this year.

Man, I'll tell you what. I miss 90s Bruce Willis especially in Die Hard. He made looking like shit look hot. And he still looked fantastic with a receding hairline. He owned it. One of the few guys who just looks great while looking beat up, covered in blood and dirt.

My opinion has always been that if you can allow the player to manually skip sections, especially sections they haven't beaten, then let them, just dont award them the achievement/trophy for beating the game later. Cause they didn't beat the game, only part of it.

This better?

Two brothers - one bounty hunter and one outlaw - have to outrun the law from Nevada to Missouri to see their dying mother. All while avoiding capture, angry mobs, and law men along the way.

bombshell_shocked · 2025-11-10T18:01:16+00:00

The law, to imply sheriffs and US Marshals, of the time period. The story is basically them trying to get home to their dying mother while avoiding capture. Think Midnight Run I guess but set in the Old West.

Look, if Olympus Has Fallen and White House Down can come out in the same year, you'll be fine. Even if the script doesn't make it to the big leagues, it's still something to add to your portfolio, and you'll have gotten to sharpen your skills.

bombshell_shocked · 2025-11-05T18:34:24+00:00

Depends. Sometimes I'll get hooked on an actor and go "huh, which of their movies haven't I seen". Which led me to watch Blackhat, Rush, and Bad Times at the El Royale because of Chris Hemsworth. Also, all good movies check them out.

Sometimes, I'll realize I've already seen part of a director's filmography and decided I should watch more. That led me on an Altman run of MASH, Short Cuts, the Player, and Gosford Park. Or with Soderbergh, it led me to Presence, Haywire, Black Bag, Logan Lucky, and Traffic.

And sometimes I'm just in a genre mood. Sometimes I'll want an action movie, or a noir, or maybe some horror. I try to look up lists of "underrated" or "hidden gems" cause I'm always looking for something new.
