Hope I'm not treading on anybody's toes here, but I thought it would be cool to have a thread similar to the listening thread... but for films and stuff. I'll start. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninja_Assassin
it's not really a movie, but im watching that episode of aqua teen hunger force where shake gets bitten by a radioactive black man and turns black.
@ Adonis was it a good one? I want to watch Avatar - The last Airbender ^^ because I liked the cartoon a lot XD The last one I watched was the other Avatar movie ^^
This is a good idea. It is odd that we don't have some kind of running Movie/TV thread. You should change it to something like "Films and TV - What are you watching?" or "Films and TV - The Criterion Faggot Collection" or "Films and TV - OH MY FUCKING GOD I LOVE ANIME!"

Oddly, I've never seen "I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK." I say "oddly" because I friggin' LOVE Park Chan-Wook's Revenge Trilogy and I've been trying to watch everything this guy has done. He's brilliant. Seriously, guys. Go watch Lady Vengeance and Oldboy. That shit rules.

Right now I'm watching Gakko ja Oshierarenai (School Can't Teach You This) because I recently became a fan of Aoi Nakamura~ Also watching Yankee-kun and Megane-chan, Indigo no Yoru, and a bunch of shows from the 80's.
I swear there was a thread like this once. xD Nevertheless, this is a good idea. If only I had something to contribute. xD

I literally ordered a Thai version of Cyborg because it was the only legit one I could find that had English subs at the time (obviously it's his least popular film) It is a really good movie, but it's not quite as good as the Revenge Trilogy. Of course, it's more of a romantic comedy so that's really comparing apples-to-oranges, but it's not going to blow your mind the way the Trilogy did. I highly recommend it though. I still have yet to see Thirst.
I barely watch tv these days, when i do it's True Blood until I fall asleep.... But I'm watching Hana yori dango on the net, and some movies, like Antique=)

LucifersBride wrote: Yes it was a pretty good one! The atmosphere is interesting actually, for a French movie, it's quite excepitonal (I hate French movies) and it's an adaptation from the Spanish novel "El Club Dumas". I'll now watch Interview with the Vampire for the 14754859th time, damn I watched the Queen of the Dmaned some months ago, what a shitty movie o__o
"I won't argue that it was a no-holds-barred adrenaline fuelled thrill-ride, but there's no way that you could perpetrate that amount of carnage and mayhem and not incur a considerable amount of paperwork."
I don't watch TV except for when Top Chef is on (although it gets lamer each season). And I just watched Metropolis, the classic Fritz Lang silent film . . . let me just say that I have found my new favorite movie.
^^ I liked that movie too. Apparently they've recovered like 20 minutes of lost footage a few months ago that really changes the story.
