damn, this is getting good... time for me to take another trip down to ChinaTown... how about: -Gamera 3 (hands down the best kaiju [japanese monster movie] of all time, highest recommendation, some of the most breathtaking and believable CGI work). if you ever liked Godzilla, get this. -Warriors of Mountain Zu (old fantasy-fu done right. in many ways this is the StarWars of Japan. very imaginative adventure filled with glorious analog effects and visual trickeries. kitsch, but quality kitsch). -Chinese Ghost Story (really nice anime that came out a couple years ago. slightly confusing story, but animation/CGI marriage is glorious (leaning more towards CGI than usual). old fable. and while on (off-topic) Metropolis and Spriggan DVDs were just released state-side, both of which are amazing new anime. Spriggan is just fight-scenes of the gods. Metropolis is lush anime/CGI future pinochio story, and kicks AI's ass (not that hard really). and yeah, i need one of those friggin region-free dvds so that i can finally watch the PagenPoetry DVD my roomate bought me a couple months ago... i haven't been able to sleep. -natnerd

Metropolis = bizarre anime/retro mixture. I didn't quite get it, but it was an alright watch. Spriggan, saw it in the theater - thought it was pretty lame. Homeboy who did Akira peaked and hasn't done anything worthy since, which is pretty sad. For me now, it's all about Hayao Miyazaki's newest. And I'm hoping Uzumaki gets to Dallas, since I loved what I saw of the manga in Pulp. Before my otaku roomie moved out. :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
