This week's Staff Pick is a celebratory double whammy to kick off summer AKA Movie Season the falsity of cinematic Time and Space are openly toyed with in: Urusei Yatsura 2: Beautiful Dreamer (1984)  Directed by: Mamoru Oshii Written by: Mamoru Oshii Cinematography by: Akio Wakana Based on a Manga by: Rumiko Takahashi IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088334/?ref_=ttfc_fc_tt You don't need to see any other Urusei Yatsura stuff to appreciate this movie...stuck in an endless summer, the cheerful and beautiful invader Lum and her human fiancee Ataru have to find a way out, or get lost in the enticing loops of never ending sun and school festivals. You can find it online probably and The Matrix (1999)  Directed and Written by: The Wachowski Sisters (billed as the Wachowski Brothers) Cinematography by: Bill Pope Music by: Don Davis Starring: Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishbourne IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133093/?ref_=ttfc_fc_tt Will you take the Blue Pill and go to bed, forgetting everything you've seen and heard...or will you take the Red Pill watch this movie again that has always and will forever kick a lot of rear end. Available at your local target for $19.99, but you will need a DVD Player to get the full widescreen experience. I recommend a PS2, as it can also play a great selection of high-poly action games. let's crack some brews and ring in the movie season with these awesome classics  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From the Staff Picks Archives January 31st, 2017: Cure February 7th, 2017: Westfront 1918 February 14th, 2017: John Wick February 21st, 2017: Red Sorghum February 28th, 2017: God of Gamblers March 7th, 2017: The Autopsy of Jane Doe March 14th, 2017: Perfect Blue March 21st, 2017: Spring Breakers March 28th, 2017: Cemetery of Splendor April 20th, 2017: Parallax View April 27th, 2017: Right Now, Wrong Then May 02th 2017: Stalker May 12th 2017: White God May 19th, 2017: Red Beard June 1st, 2017: The Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant

TV Zombie posted:Was Urusei Yatsuri an anime series also? Yes, with hundreds of episodes. You don't need much to watch the film though, they recap it all in the first like 2 minutes. You just need to know that Lum is an alien who calls Ataru Darling. I'm going to watch this tomorrow after going to the beach and cracking some cold ones with the boys .

Watching through the Matrix and I can see all the religious connotations that people connected to the movie. I gotta wonder how they set up Zion after being awoken from those tanks full of goo...like after disconnecting, wouldn't they have been flushed down and out into the water? I hope no one minds me double posting while watching.

I wonder why Cypher doesn't just pull Neo's and Morpheus plug once he's out. Why take all that time to exposition and just tease Trinity.

Since the real enemies are the agents, I wonder if they feel any guilt in the fight scene when they are about to save Morpheus killing all those guards and swat members, people who won't have a chance to be free from the matrix.

The first thing anybody says to Neo is "your my personal Jesus Christ man!" lol

heres all my screengrabs http://imgur.com/a/amxSE its a drat fine movie. capitalism has destroyed all sense of self, place and temporality and ataru's response is to crack open some cold ones with the boys for eternity. oshii and the people he worked with had a really good sense of empty space and shadow, all the emotionally empty suburban landscape is perfectly ruinous in this. if you haven't seen any other oshii i would highly recommend the Patlabor OVAs + first two movies, deals with similar themes with a harsher militarist bent. well worth a watch or 7
