. Gonna watch it tonight
Let me know what you think⦠itās low budget and bat shit!
We watched it a while ago! It was quite awesome!
I can only find Xtro 2 & 3. Do you know where itās streaming?
Director Harry Bromley Davenport stated in an interview on the DVD release that he looks back on the film with embarrassment, saying that the bizarre atmosphere of the film was completely unintentional and that there is no deeper, symbolic meaning to the strange, random events that happen, because he and his co-writers were very high on drugs while writing the script and would often throw in whatever random ideas popped into their heads or thought would be neatā¦
Does sound promising.
We ended up downloading it from Youtube, I think?
Found it. And what the heck did I watch? Lol! Crazy!
I frickinā LOVED this Wallace and Gromit!!!
Right! Just⦠nutso!
So⦠one of the streamers I watch has successfully turned many of us into One Piece fans.
He started us off with the live-action, which we watched, twice. Then he started showing us the anime. Iāve missed and/or slept through a few here and there, and some nights Iāve listened a bit more than watched, but yeah, Iām hooked. Itās a ton of fun, although there are things that might play well in the original culture that donāt work so well for me-- thereās a ton of fanservice in some of the female charactersā outfits which is less there for the malesā, and weāre all pretty disgusted with Sanjiās girl-craziness, but overall itās really good fun (and surprisingly kinda anarchist in principle, despite the many monarchies we come across. Luffy wants freedom for everyone to follow their dreams and has a knack for turning enemies into allies, and fights against the World Governmentās tyrannical schemes, and thatās all pretty cool.)
Friday night, we got to a pivotal episode-- 1071. For those in the know, a very important thing happened in that one, and itās glorious. Spoiler for those who want to know: Luffy fully activates his Devil Fruit, which is more special than any of us knew, and heās become Joy Boy, a legendary figure of liberation from a history the World Government wants to stay lost and has killed many people to insure it. Iām still grinning over it. The fight heās in isnāt over yet, but Iām looking forward to seeing its conclusion come Monday night (or maybe over a few nights, battles arenāt quick in One Piece.)
ā¦and the funny thing is, I remember saying at TOP that I wouldnāt mind catching up on it some day, and here I am doing it⦠with some help. (It is going to stink when we catch up to the series and have to wait for new episodes with everybody else. Since we usually watch a few each weeknight weāre a few weeks away from that point.
)
Any other One Piece fans here to squee with me?
Iāve watched maybe the first major arc of One Piece, not sure how many episodes that is. 100? What i saw was fun but the sheer length of it really dissuaded me from keeping up with it
According to the wiki, the anime is 1133 episodes long and still goingā¦
If I wasnāt watching it as part of a group, Iām honestly not sure Iād have stuck with it this long myself. The fact that the episodes are fairly short helps, though the pacing can stretch out one fight over many episodes (and donāt get me started on the fillersā¦) Still, itās a fairly rich story, and I like how even enemies are given backstory so we can understand why they are the way they are.
Wow, 15 I have not seen, (lower ranked, obvs.: I am an expert!)!
They skipped one of my favorites, Fear in the City of the Living Dead, which, with its blasphemy, a hanged priest starts all the troubles, sexual silliness, the village idiot is tempted to the side of evil by a blow-up sex doll, and zombies that pop in and out of existence like they escaped from a Melies film, feels like a tribute to the old school surrealists but with added gore.
ETA: Hey, I recall that I previously posted a link to one of the films from that list, Demons, above. In case anyoneās curious.
