>i think brazil and 12 monkeys are both pretty techno. i'm a huuuge gilliam fan...but 12 monkeys to me is a lot more "earthy" than brazil, doesnt quite have a techno mood/atmosphere..to me..i dunno..
>both of the first 2 mad max movies were great. the third was still tolerable, but nowhere near as good. the thunderdome/bartertown part was cool. the kids living the paradise valley sort of place was sappy. >what sucks about GITS? i thought the animation was good, and it has possibly one of the best purely sci-fi plots outside of bladerunner. the animation is great. the story is crap, watch it again. i always considered it one of my faves until i watched it again more recently and realized it is utterly terrible. the dialogue is terrible, the plot is nonsense, the fight scenes (which are most of the movie) are ridiculous. >ick. saw the US remake first (mmmm, naomi watts :) and hated it. figured i must have missed something in the translation so i rented the japanese version. i thought it was equally terrible and fell asleep. ill check out his other joints though.... you did miss something, the u.s. version is not so good compared to the original...i think it's really quite good, aside from a few cheesey parts. i like dark water better tho. very simple and very good.
