Tonight's feature DVD: Metropolis (2001/II)
An anime with nice artwork, but a story that was somewhat confusing at first (perhaps because the visuals were distracting me from the subtitles though). I've never seen Fritz Lang's 1927 Metropolis but Sean said it seemed to be loosely based on it. It had some of the typical anime sexism (the only female character starts off nude of course, and then runs around in nothing but a flannel shirt for days ("We've no time for haberdashery!")), but at least there was no tentacle rape scenes. It was downright weird at parts, but it was a fun movie and if you're a casual anime viewer you'll probably like it.
You know, it seems like all I do is work and watch movies. And set the occasional bar on fire (I put it out).
