Disappointed overall with the movie. Thought Mari was useless too (they should of given that extra screen time to Asuka). The Eva and angel battles weren’t very good.
The Hunger, Brand Upon the Brain, & Nikkatsu Noir. The Nikkatsu Noir set is my first buy of the Eclipse Series and I’m a tad disappointed with the overall packaging. As far as content, I was hoping for a little something extra. Other than that I’m happy with my purchases.
Just read this, thought I share:
“Mar. 16 – Mar. 21
On the eve of the release of his all-star samurai epic 13 Assassins, The Film Society and Subway Cinema are proud to present New York’s first major, in-person retrospective of genre-hopping master of cinema Takashi Miike. The prolific Japanese filmmaker first smashed his way into the American consciousness in 2001 with Audition and Ichi the Killer, heralding a wave of “Asian Extreme” sex- and violence-crammed titles. But over 80 films later, Miike has outlasted all attempts to pigeonhole him as a cult director. Featuring everything from major hits to legendary rarities never before screened here. Miike in person for rare U.S. appearance at multiple screenings!
Spice World- as silly of a film it is, it was done in the vain of the Beatles films. It had some great comedy talents, UFOs, and girls strutting their stuff in skimpy outfits. Great guilty pleasure film if the music doesn’t make you insane.
Man Who Fell To Earth-I was trying to think of the best Bowie movie, that’s definitely up there if not 1st.
Takashi Miike cancels appearance from retrospective :-(
“Japan was violently rocked, swallowed by the ocean as the lives of many disappeared amid the rubble. I had wanted to be here with you all. I had wanted to thank you all for coming from the bottom of my heart. But that wish was not granted. It is unfortunate and I am very sorry. Please accept my regrets. But, from this adversity — on our lives — we will all rise up without fail. As a start, I would be grateful if you could enjoy Japan from my films.
The Film Society of Lincoln Center and Subway Cinema are partnering with The Japan Society to donate 10% of the ticket sales to all screenings in the Takashi Miike retrospective, Shinjuku Outlaw: 13 From Takashi Miike, to the Japan Earthquake Relief Fund, to support relief and recovery for the 2011 Tohoku – Pacific Ocean Earthquake.
Why did we change our name to MUBI? about 2 years ago
My 2 cents on the name change
…how disappointing

I didn’t get any movies for x-mas… apparently nobody loves me that much. :-P
However, I did get the Criterion poster of Vivre sa vie :-)

@armands I’m dying to see 13 Assassins, sadly it falls on the worst day for me :-(
@berjuan but the old ladies that go to the film center are so sweet. I met two most adorable ones in line waiting to see Salo.
