Randamo--
Normally, I am most impressed by how a movie ends; but in this case, I was underwhelmed by the ending (and let us face facts here; the opening sequence is pretty flippin' epic!). One of the things that I am struck by was the decision to cast Henry Fonda opposite Charles Bronson. I am not saying that Bronson was a terrible actor, mind you; but -- in my opinion -- when Bronson was onscreen with Fonda he (Bronson) was just upstaged by Fonda. The same also (more or less) applies to Bronson and Jason Robards -- again, this is my opinion. Would you trust this man in a daycare operation? 
In a dimly lit bar..... 
This is supposed to be the personification of vengeance? Gimme a break.....

heh, I watch that movie mostly to see Henry Fonda and Jason Robards.
I thought it was pretty powerful when the reveal came for why Bronson was after Fonda, so I don't feel Bronson did a bad job. But I was disappointed to see certain ones not survive. I don't give the movie negative points for it though. But I totally see what you mean. |

Haha I realised before the edit - I don't know why the Aristocats poped into my head as it makes no sense. Maybe because it's set in Paris and all I could think about were the geese

I only realized after I sent it that I forgot to put in the 'farewell'. So that's probably why you didn't recognize it. |

Hello Everybody,
It's been a while since I've posted on anime forums. I've always been addicted to anime, but only recently I found more time to dedicate to it. I'm not a great poster, I usually write only if the subject is intriguing. If you want to know more about me: Name: it's "reflected" and "disguised" in the word MYAOI (a good 4869 should find out) Sex: Male Blood Type: Rei negative Location: Milan Marital Status: Single Age: Thirties Ethnicity: Caucasian Religion: not anymore Pets: not anymore Drink/Smoke/Chocolate: Chocolate. Likes: many things but not excessively. Freedom, Anime, Japan, Technology, A.I., Automation, Psychology, Science Fiction, PC games, Finance. Dislikes: many things but not excessively. TV, media, politics, Shingeki no Kyojin, Elfen Lied, One Piece (but I'm watching it), Zombie related things. I dislike generally what is popular without deserving it. Favorite anime: Evangelion and many (not all) GAINAX productions like FLCL and Abenobashi, Monster, Death Note, Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni, F.M. Alchemist, Meitantei Conan, HxH, Last Exile, Psycho Pass, Mirai Nikki, Steins;Gate, Bakemonogatari, Kodomo no Jikan, Soul Eater, and many other classics (like Azumanga Daioh, GTO, Trigun, Hellsing, ..) Favorite Manga/Books: I don't know what to say...I can't make myself enjoying novels or manga. I feel a discomfort at staying focused on a passive item. (If I were a train traveler maybe ...) Favorite game: many but none in particular. I played pretty much every genre. I had a crush with Eve Online. Tomb Raider the survival. War Thunder. Strategic games or simulations. Spore and SIMS. In the past I loved Freelancer, Mafia I & II (not much GTA series) and some Japanese RPG game or dating sim. (Dirty secret: I spent a considerable amount of time with Starcraft and SCeditor and I played all the Pokemon games from Red to Sapphire). Favorite TV shows/Movies: I don't watch TV (except some series of Big Bang Theory handed by a friend). I've watched almost all sci-fi blockbusters but wouldn't state one favourite. Favorite Drink: Alcoholic would be red wine or Rhum based cocktails Non-Alcoholic Drink: Tea Favorite Foods: everything prepared by me, but also dining out Japanese. (My dirty secret is that I love the Big Mac) Favorite Sites: based on the number of accesses is Yahoo Finance and a shop online Favorite Sport (to watch): none Favorite Sport (to play): Ice skating Favorite Music: Dream Theater, some J-Pop like Tommy February6, vocaloid, Supercell. Job: Engineer, but thinking to radically change life Hobbies: living should be the real answer. Playing with electronics and programming, like Arduino, should be the politically correct one, but not necessarily true. Fun facts about me/Trivia: Loving the weird anime humor I end up laughing the hell out of me rolling on the floor in tears me with Excel Saga, Azumanga Daioh, Nichijou, Dokuro Chan, etc.. But when I'm in a real life social situation I can't laugh at ordinary jokes. I can't understand their humor even when people repeat two times, and I watch them with a Wednesday Addams face. I spent most of my life studying over a broad range of subjects: aerospace engineering, computer science, philosophy, latin, classic literature, neuroscience, but I never ended up actually practicing anything. I want to learn Japanese. In March I will go to Japan to improve. The first japanese game that I played (at least for what I remember) was Season of the Sakura, on my first Win95 PC |

Welcome to the forum MYAOI. Hopefully you'll enjoy your time here with us. Don't worry if you don't post that often, many users only post on those series or topics that truly interest them.

Welcome, MYAOI! So, you fall in the "Hate Elfen Lied" crowd, eh? Well, C'est la vie! (Just google the phrase if you don't know what it means!
)

spoiler[Pas de probleme. J'ai étudié le francais à l'école.] I know the plot and the ending of Elfen Lied, but I dropped the series after the first episode (For similar reasons I dropped Kill La Kill) If you believe that it is worth watching, you are free to argue in its favour. I will listen.

@MYAOI
Nothing wrong with hating Elfen Lied. Welcome to the club. I gave up on Kill La Kill also but for different reasons. |
