Okay so The Grey has pretty much cemented Liam Neeson as the ultimate badass in my mind.
swooooooooooon
Also, The Grey might just be the most depressing fucking movie I’ve ever seen.
And I’ve seen Grave of the Fireflies.
I liked it a lot, though. Even though dat ending.
I don't remember a single thing from Grave of the Fireflies, and I just saw it like a couple months ago. Mostly since I watched it with my friends and only me and one other person actually wanted to watch it, so it was kind of hard to pay attention.
So just got back from Orientation. Made Thirty-five dollars. yaaay.
Come back home my father wants to know how much of my fifteen hours a week on minimum wage I'm putting to paying him room and board. Booo.
GotF was depressing, but there was never really any catharsis-y moment where I felt like I needed to cry. It was just too relentlessly depressing throughout that I was just sort of numb by the end.
If we're just going by time until crying, Saikano would be the saddest anime I've seen, for getting me to cry during the first episode. And the second, for that matter.
Also, halfway through AnoHana would be more time than the length of Grave of the Fireflies... >.>
I feel the same about................. most things.
The only anime exception to that that I can think of is Le Portrait de Petite Cossette, but that's only depressing because I'm a loser and any well-adjusted person would just think it's... something else, I guess.
I remember sitting through End of Evangelion and AKIRA and being told that Grave of the Fireflies was worse.
I sincerely doubt that.
Woohoo! Panama won 2-0!
Akira didn't really depress me at all.
End of Evangelion was rough, though. I'd say that EoE is probably worse in that regard than GotF.
EoE kinda freaked me out the first time I saw it, though.
^^^ Well, it should be, on account of End of Evangelion and Akira both not being very sad.
It wasn't depressing so much as really fucking gross and scary.
Like going to literotica and searching for "watersports"
Depressing and gross are kind of two different things.
GotF isn't gross or scary, so in that respect it's not worse. Just sad.
End of Evangelion was both depressing and scary. It uses some very striking imagery to make a point about Shinji's perspective on humanity (EVERYTHING SUCKS)
so...yeah, i'd say it's very sad.
but it didn't make me cry.
EoE didn't make me cry, but it's one of the very few movies that I'll legitimately use the word "disturbing" to describe.
It's a pretty fucked up movie, but in a good way, like Lynch's movies.
Then again, it can become pretty funny once you watch it twice and you notice how the imagery invites mockery at times (I think that was kinda intentional, actually. The movie comes across as mockery of Shinji's whole depression thing until he himself realizes how crazy it is)
then again, my feelings regarding Evangelion are weird as fuck.
Well I really doubt I'll cry at GoTF.
I mean I laughed at Toy Story 3's ending
what the actual fuck is wrong with you
i mean, i get not crying, but i don't get laughing. like what would be funny about it
I think the problem with Toy Story 3's ending, as well done as it is, is that it's just not how a kid going to college would react. It's more in line with how someone in mid-life finding their toys in the attic would react to.
Not that I would laugh. I'm just saying it's not a completely logical scene, but it makes up for it with execution.
A lot of it thrives on emotion rather than logic, but that's disney or you.
I refuse any branch of spirituality that does not accept the Holy Diver album as a holy set of hymns.
The prom was awesome! An all-nighter until five in the morning, lots of nice food, cheap drink and a big name band playing - what more you could ask for?
In return for all the stuff from here I crosspost to Facebook for the nerd creds, have one back that popped up in my feed.
Today marks my last day as a teenager, tomorrow I'm turning 20.
Also, apparently I'm a week younger than INUH.
"I think the problem with Toy Story 3's ending, as well done as it is, is that it's just not how a kid going to college would react. It's more in line with how someone in mid-life finding their toys in the attic would react to."
Depends on the kid. Andy has been shown to be particularly mature for his age (the creators said themselves that none of them treated their toys that well), and he did explain his connection in a way that a child could understand, so I didn't find that reaction unrealistic in the slightest. That being said, I understand how the scene could be seen as overdone.
And I could see a college kid doing that with his toys. Not every college kid, but it's not unbelievable to me.
sister made bacon
