Anyone seen Primer? I've heard it's impossible.

that one made less sense the more i thought and read about it.

to the people saying "Eraserhead", yeah, it's fucking weird as shit but it's pretty straightforward?

I came in to say The Holy Mountain but might go with The Color of Pomegranates (although watching it with commentary helps explain the meaning a lot.)

You know, I'm think I'm going to change my answer to 'Caligula.' They were clearly shooting for something profound there, but a great main cast and all the T&A in the world couldn't save that movie from falling flat on its face and turning into an incomprehensible mess.

I saw a Korean movie about a murderer who moves out to a fishing town, and there's a mute woman who goes around selling bait and tackle. I think she's also a prostitute, and the main character tries to fuck her a few times. It was a really weird, creepy movie.

Other than that, End of Evangelion.

Evangelion as a whole is incomprehensible. I've long since said that its arguably the worst anime of all time due to the amount of times it skips during the series. You could be in the middle of the battle and it will skip to the next day. Maybe that's the netflix version, but I've heard from others that its just the way the story goes.

I think that's the point. Most of the time it's because Shinji blacks out, like in the first episode.

I say End of Evangelion because I saw that shit when I was 12, and it was the first piece of Eva content I ever saw. So consider seeing Rei's arm slough off her body, Gendo fuckin copping a feel until his hand passes completely through her tit, Rei getting eaten by a sideways mouth that comes out of a creature's chest... and then all of Instrumentality, including the live action part. As a 12 year old newcomer to the series. As a 12 year old whose primary exposure to anime up to that point was Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh.

I don't think enough people step back and acknowledge how weird End of Evangelion is on its own. It's always "in relation to the series", which is reasonable enough, but it's never acknowledged on its own merits.

For a film about a tyre on a killing spree, it's surprisingly impenetrable.

The movie about old white people switching brains with young black people

I don't at all understand why it's praised. My wife and I both thought it was one of the worst movies we'd ever seen. It's not scary, it's not smart, it's not funny.... I don't get it. It's a movie a 14 year old would write

In general yes, I'm talking about a fully put together anime with an actual budget behind it. People love the anime, I just can't understand why. Even Full Metal Panic has better Mecha in it, and that isn't even the focus of the story.

At least with Primer I got the sense that I could understand it if I put enough effort in.

The Box

started out with an interesting premise, then when they quickly exhausted that, they put in a bunch of pretentious imagery and kinda just hoped it would form a plot

Ator 2: L'invincible Orion

It's a sword and sorcery movie about a wizard who figures out how to split atoms and create atomic bombs having his formulas stolen by a guy with a bird on his head. The hero, Ator, wanders around with a woman and a mute japanese man named Thong, in order to recover the atomic nucleus. He goes to caves full of evil cavemen, fight samurais in the woods, battles a giant snake, and eventually gets a hang glider and flies around for 20 minutes dropping sticks of dynamite on a castle before recovering the nucleus and setting it off. The movie ends with atomic bomb stock footage

I have vague memories of Lost Highway. Mostly that I wasn't really following what was going on at first. Then, when I started feeling like i had a handle on it, the whole cast changed and it was like a new movie started or something.


Came to post this.
