So Verb, given your... okay? (and I totally feel you on if you hadn't seen Black Swan alredy it would be a more enjoyable experience) consideration of Perfect Blue, something I think it was I that recommended to you, would you consider expediting somewhere towards the top of your list what I consider to be one of my favorite animated films from before the new millennium?
Jin-Roh: the Wolf Brigade

The film follows Kazuki Fuse, a member of a special police unit during the alternate history 1950s Japanese riots. Failing to follow an order to execute a frightened young girl only to see her commit suicide by detonating an improvised explosive device before his very eyes, Kazuki is put on trial and sent back to the training camp for re-evaluation. Visiting the grave of the suicide, he meets Kei, the girl's sister, who doesn't hold Kazuki responsible for her demise. The film proceeds as the two develop a peculiar relationship.

Other than "it's sort of a long movie" I'd be quite interested in hearing criticisms of the film from someone like yourself.

i'll check it out

You can't drive? I thought you got your license?

i got a permit, but i never bothered getting my license

every time i get behind the wheel to practice, even though i have gotten much better, i'm still just as anxious as i was the first time i ever drove on the road eight months ago--that aspect hasn't gotten even a little bit better, so it obviously never will

i can just take the bus--it's not the most convenient thing, but it gets me where i need to go, and i ride free because i'm a student--which is another reason why i can't just drop out

anyway, i appreciate the post--but please understand that i'm not the kind of person who can just find the "right" job, because i kinda hate the concept of having a job and making money in the first place

some people just aren't cut out for work, and i unfortunately belong in that category--there's no job out there for me, it all sucks

i haven't had an overall good day since early last summer, and things have only been getting steadily worse and worse since then

👌

Any particular reason why?

contrary to what some people have told me, having a job is the worst fucking thing in the world, and is every bit as miserable as it seemed in my childhood nightmares

college fucking sucks and the only thing keeping me from dropping out is not wanting to disappoint my parents--i'm also struggling to afford my tuition and my debt ceiling rises every semester just like everybody else

trump is president and the world is going to shit

none of my friends are happy with their lives either, which tends to amplify my own anxieties, because i've been cursed with this thing called empathy

my parents are becoming increasingly irritated with my mopey attitude lately and obviously want me to move out soon, but i can't drive (because i'm scared to death of it) or pay rent because i don't quite make enough money to do so

life is pretty fucking terrible right now my man

i had to get them out of the way

the principle applies to every single anime series i've seen so far, though

I fucking hate how disposable this shit is.

I would never rewatch a single episode of this.

isn't this game, like, a joke

also, water is wet

so much star wars shit lately

Loaf, I regret that I must address our recent interactions in a public setting. Your insistence on attempting to debase my good name have not gone unnoticed, and leave me little choice but to levy a brutal retaliation.

Notwithstanding your urban and seemingly aggressive demeanor, I am unmoved by your persona, and in point of fact, find your nature amusing.

Let me take this time to remind you of several facts. I will turn 34 years old in a few months. Clearly, this establishes the notion that I am indeed fully grown, and I will not underestimate the simple but serious assertion, as you seem to be treating me like something else. I am no child, which you will discover shortly.

Second, I hail from Brooklyn; the city of Brooklyn, New York. You and your cohorts may not be familiar with this providence, but I assure you, I have seen and done things which the mere mention of will befrighten you and force you to reassess the situation.

Finally, I am a man of immense power and wealth. My executives have done extensive research on you, and we failed to understand your perspective in this undertaking you have begun.

With that in mind, I must also remind you that I am presently out on bail from recent criminal charges levied against me in federal court. My understanding from my colleagues is that you've never seen the inside of a jail cell. Let me tell you, sir, that you would not do well in such conditions.

This may also be a good time to mention that the root of my name, Martin, comes from the word "Mars," which is the Roman god of war. In many ways, I was born of and am built for the concept of war, which is not a battle that you are prepared for.

Given my recent incarceration, allow me to take note that I have no intention to harm you physically, as my bail status would likely be revoked, and this quarrel is distinctly below me. You are no Charlemagne.

In a separate but wholly unrelated topic, I do have a vast staff that is employed across our great nation. We are aware of the location at which you sleep on a nightly basis. I regret to inform you that, despite my requests that my employees refrain from harming you, they are a rowdy and difficult group to control. The mere mention of my name in your post angered these gentlemen significantly.

It is important for you to know that these men have significantly longer and more storied alleged criminal histories than myself. They look up to me, principally because I give them very gainful employment, and protect me, almost like a general in their army.

Again, despite my pleading, they also maintain and brandish an arsenal of illegal weapons which they are equipped to use. This may come as a surprise to you, because my demeanor is that of a calm businessperson. While it is true that my wealth seems to increase substantially on a regular basis, recall my ammunitions, and also note that I am of Albanian descent. My people are known for their irascible nature and very, very short tempers.

While my temper is presently under control, and I view you as a laughable social media persona, I assure you that further prodding will lead to serious and direct consequences. In the meantime, I give you fair warning that my associates may be looking for you, and there's little I can do to call them off.

I wish you luck in defending yourself from the reality that you've created.

And don't say Marty.

Is this from a music video? Linky pls, piqued my interest.

yeah, there's a lot of neat camera tricks in this one

pretty bumpin track as well

That trailer left no impression on me whatsoever.

Is anyone else kinda worried about Leia's role in the movie? Like, she obviously has to die, right--but how?

Can't wait for the second album on Sunday. Idk if you've heard about that.

eh, i ain't getting my hopes up

i don't know if i could handle it if it were true

That is unfortunate. RIP mobile users.

just posting a link is more efficient

the great sea theme is not a bad choice of WW song, but you need more fairy fountain in your life

sadly, botw's rendition of this theme--though happily present--is underwhelming in comparison to every other rendition

SIT DOWN

What an annoying voice

it's an acquired taste
