You are taking what I say and yourself way too seriously. I have no idea why this is such a big deal to you. I've never insulted you or judged you in any way. I was joking. You didn't even express an actual opinion about Life Aquatic beyond calling it "shitty". Maybe you if you actually offered some examples of why you dislike it, I could discuss it with you. There is no reason to get so agitated.

If you hadn't noticed, many of my comments aren't totally serious. I try to explain my position, but I also kid around. There are a lot of movies I hate that I wonder why others like, but I wouldn't give them crap about it for no reason. If people explain themselves reasonably, I am accepting. I know a lot of movies I like aren't considered great by others, anyway.

Haha, nice little comment on the Jaws vs Jurassic Park board there, sorry about the excessively long comparison :P

I was very impressed! Hope you didn't think I was mocking you. Very impressive take on the two!

Hey no worries, I thought it was rather amusing. I'm terrible at keeping things concise, and I've got to admit, had it been me reading that comment from somebody else I'd have probably thought "tldr". But thanks for reading anyway :)

Hey, Star Wars: Episode VII set for 2015!
Hell yeah. I just hope George Lucas' "creative consultant" status doesn't mean much. Star Wars needs a fresh vision, at this point. But I'm psyched as hell to see this thing, no matter what.

All your movies are pretty quotable.
Yes, our taste is pretty similar, it's a shame you don't like Menace II Society, which to me is the best hood film to date.

One of those that I really can't explain why. I saw it like 5 years ago for the first time...it just didn't work for me.

I am yet to watch Braveheart, I hear a lot of great things about it, but I'm scared that I'll be disappointed, because I am not such a big fan of medieval themed films...

Sorry I forgot to get back to you about Braveheart. I thought it was a good film overall, with its action scenes and cinematography and you can get really lost in this film, as it DOES pull you in, but the film has its share of flaws. 1. the generic characters2. hollow plot3. Wallace/Princess romance really devalued his dead wifeHope to hear back from you :)

Hey there. Read your comment on the Akira vs. Princess Mononoke matchup. I haven't seen Mononoke, but I'm curious, what is it about Akira that disappointed you?

I can't really recommend anything to be honest because im in a similar position; Spirited Away was the first ones i saw and pretty animation and designs aside, I just didn't get it at all. That hasn't put me off Miyazaki completely, but i haven't got off to a good start. The only other one I've started watching is Ghost in the Shell, and i fell asleep 10 mins in (though to be fair that was more due to exhaustion than boredom). So i think you and i are in a the same boat, the difference being that I love Akira to death, hence why i asked. I love the characters, both in design and personality (dare i say that i grew to like some of them more than any Disney characters ive ever watched, and that's saying A LOT!). i love the animation (some of the best 2D animation i have ever seen), I love the designs, i love the action, the scope, the themes, the soundtrack, the setting (i could go on). I pretty much love EVERYTHING about it; it's the kind of film shich could have been made especially for me as it has just about everything i could ask for in a film. It's not absolutely perfect and it's not in my top 20, but it's easily my favourite animated film period. And that's coming from someone who, like yourself, is largely unenthralled by anime. I guess i just have VERY distinct preferences, and if i have even minute prejudices against a genre, it takes a VERY special film to not only overcome them, but also win my heart.As far as starting somewhere else is concerned, i've heard good things about Grave of the Fireflies as well, but I'd also like to give Princess Mononoke and Arrietty a go to try and get into Miyazaki films, the former especially.
