What Emmanuelle Movie Did You Just Watch?

[Martin]

Redline


Holy mother of GOD. This movie just sneaked up in my top 5 of the year (hello Hanna! 13 Assassins! Attack the Block!)

Look. I now kinda like Speed Racer. Kinda. Despite the huge glaring flaws, it's fun. But there's this new kid in town, called REDLINE. That kid kidnapped Speed Racer, chloroformed that asshole, left him in the basement after assraping him for a whole year.

Redline is like Speed Racer. But on crack. Right after he took crystal meth.

It will titillate your optic nerves from the first image to the last. In fact, authorities around the world won't check the pulse of injured or dead people, they'll make them watch 10 seconds of Redline. If their eyes starts expending like mirror plates, you are alive.

Plot? Who gives a shit about a plot. It's an underground race set in the future. But the setting? Oooooooh so gushy. It's such a fun flick.

Seriously, even if you hated Speed racer, this manga is worth watching on Blu.

To be more precise, Redline will be mentionned in the same sentence as Akira or Ghost in the Shell. It's THAT kind of manga. That defining.

But while not as dramatic as Akira (Kenedaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!) nor as philosophical as Ghost in the Shell, Redline is pure fucking FUN.

A must own. I will soooooooooooo buy the Blu in January.

Martin, gotta agree with you on The Spirit - that whole flick was a fascinating shitstorm of Godzilla proportions. Slavishly similar to Sin City on a visual level, but nowhere near as cool as Eisner's material, it's painful for a fan like me to watch. I do agree that Jackson's costume changes were a hoot, and Johannsen wasn't too shabby either.

In the film Stardust, Robert Deniro is gay.

In his defense Jeff, this is the What movie DID YOU JUST WATCH thread.

[Abraham Smashington]

Think Jeff was just providing a link for people to see what Martin is talking about. That being said, I fucking hate anime.

[Ben Thomas]

Yeah I was excited then until you said 'manga', so I'll stick with Speed Racer I think.

Has anyone seen Initial D? I'm tempted but it looks real cheap.

[Captain Russ]

I still have a soft spot for Vampire Hunter D.

Probably because of Facehand/Handface eating dirt. It still evokes laughter whenever I think about it.

Silly as hell.

Redline is 100x better, really. And I grew really fucking tired of anime.

If so my bad, but with no context it's not easy to tell. Either way ugh to anime but I'll wait till others chime in and if it's that good I'll check it out.

[PHEDG]

Just pointing the way.

Oh - forgot to mention. I'm not the only one behind on movies. I watched "The Untouchables" with George on Sunday, and it was his first time seeing it. I had to practically force him - for whatever weird reason, he was convinced he wasn't going to like it, the whole look of it didn't grab him, excuse excuse excuse. I was finally like, "I'm bringing over the DVD, and you're fucking watching it." And gee, guess who was right? ME! Besides, even if you hate 99% of the movie, you have to love the scene at the train station. Yes, I realize, it's a direct rip-off of "Birth of a Nation", but you still have to love how awesomely it's done - particularly Andy Garcia's whole contribution to that scene.

[Captain Russ]

It was referencing Battleship Potemkin.

Glad he liked. Otherwise we'd have words. Or at least I would.

(How could anyone hate that movie? It is bulletproof. Even Costner's mid-mortem one-liner is great.)

[Lisa]

Ahh! My bad entirely - I keep confusing those two!

You know what's fun about that scene since it's silent? Is doing a play by play of the action as soon as it goes slow-mo. "Okay, you ready for this? HERE COMES ANDY GARCIA, whipping around the corner, a gun in each hand! He throws Costner a fresh gun, and SIMULTANEOUSLY throws his body under the baby carriage and holds Capone's man at bay with the gun in his free hand!"
