| FINALLY!
I finally got around to buying this film from eBay. Got it cheap, too. Just watched the Japanese language track for the first time ever. Man, its been years since I last Saw this. Brought back some awesome memories. I remember always feeling so moved after watching this film, but not in a slit-your-wrists kinda way like with the film Grave of the Fireflies.

I don't think I ever appreciated it as much as I did yesterday. Last time I watched it was a few years ago on someone's crappy laptop and it was quite pixelly. This time I Saw it in the dark, surround sound, on a big-ass TV. And I got to hear the Japanese Voice actors, finally.
I also practically got emotional by The End, and last time I Saw that movie that didn't happen

| Kara no Kyoukai Recently I thought I'd watch this beautiful series of movies again. The art style is literally perfect and it enhances the already powerful emotion within it.

| More anime? Huh, it looks cool. Is it a generic bloodbath-type thing or is it a well-thought out awesome anime movie like a Miyazaki film? How many movies are there in the series? Aaaaaand speaking of Japanese film, I watched this late last night:
Is that not the creepiest DVD cover ever? Anyway, it's a Japanese 'horror' film from the late 60s. I put quotations around horror because it ultimately becomes a drama of human loss and suffering and Grief with some anti-political undertones and pro-woman undercurrents as well. Extremely interesting--very experimental flow and avant-garde structure. Great cinematography that pushes a lot of envolopes in a lot of directions. The special effects are a little cheap-looking, but other than that... watch this film if you can find it! It's like being pulled reluctantly through a bad dream.

Not even close to a generic bloodbath. It's extremely well thought out. Oh, and there are 7 movies in the series.

| An franco-Israelic movie: Va vis et Deviens. While it may not seem like that, quite a moving piece of art

If I can remember, I'll try and watch this movie or the movies.
Though right now there're a Ton of movies I want to watch, some of them being really hard to track down. I found out about this movie that's supposed to be one of the best masterpieces ever called The Human Condition... and it's Nine hours. I can't find it anywhere except online for $60.
