Agree, sometimes there just shouldn't be a happily every after.
But you do really need to be in the mood for such a film.

I love it when the ending is more ambiguous e.g Pan's Labyrinth
you can believe it ended happy or not - up to you :)


Tell me something, Billy. How come a cute little guy like this can turn into a thousand ugly monsters?

QFT Alan. Did you think it was going to be a bunch of mecha stopming on fireflies or something? Even the poster looks pretty sad, it's not like they made it out to be a comedy or action.

I just saw Grave of the Fireflies tonight. Not as good as I was expecting. Very depressing...

Uhh yeah, that was kind of the point...


Well if I knew it was depressing I wouldn't have watched it. Why would anyone want to get depressed from watching a film?
For the quality of the film and it's story.
I watch heaps of depressing movies. I recently watched a Korean movie called Secret Sunshine, now that's a REALLY depressing movie.
Some of my favourite movies are depressing as hell. Reqieum for a dream, Trainspotting etc. Lifes not fair and you can't be posi all the time. I embrace my dark side, it makes more a more rounded person haha
I also listen to a lot of depressing music 8)

currently im getting

code geass and
elfen lied

they sound reasonably good

anyone seen them?

HoneyBadger

Elfen Lied was ok... Code Geass is only good if you enjoy clamp art robots stomping on each other...

Fuck nearly forgot

s.CRY.ed -- I think it was around 2002/03 ? I really enjoyed it... Great balance of beat em up and character development/morals ... it's good whether you want to sit down and enjoy a story or just watch a whole lot of crazy ass fights

oh god scryed... I watched all of it, but I hated myself while doing so. I think the main reason I persisted was because of how hilarious I found the ad-spacers where they say SCR_SCR_SCRYEEEHHHHDDOOOOO
Any sufficiently godlike street fighter technique is indistinguishable from randomness

Way to pick one of my all time favourite bands Ben! Also one of my favourite songs ever, I was listening to it yesterday. This shit gets me pumped.
Quoteanother day in paradise
i don't think i've been happy
more than twice in my life
the first time i fucked
the first time i got high
i think there was a third
the first time i saw a man die
Sadly I know a couple too many people that this is way to close to the truth. I know I only got into it because I could relate to it.

By the way that's angry music not depressing music.
Depressing music would be Swans, Roses Never Fade, Blood Axis, Catacombs etc

edit: More awesome 100 Demons lyrics...
Quotemy hatred is unstoppable
and death for you will be slow
your sins are unforgivable
and your god can't save you now
i'll be your judge and jury
sometimes justice moves to slow
and i will show you no mercy
when i drop the final blow
too many times you fucked me over
too many times i believed your shit
i smell your fear and weakness
and it makes me fucking sick

Depressing music is like Flo Rida cause you realise people actually like it and it makes you sad =(

Haha oh the man the intro to Suffer cracks me up. No fucking around just straight into a breakdown.

And yeah its only depressing if you listen to the lyrics. Actually most people I know be looking like this this when they listening to 100 Demons lol

I really hated in Wall-E that he regained his memory and everything, I thought it was really awesome that he basically got smashed to bits and then forgot everything

omg blasphemy. go watch UP, the intro for that movie makes you feel terrible.

He's the hero NZism deserves.
But not the one it needs right now.
So we'll hunt him.
Because he can take it.
Because he's not our Hero.
He's a Niuean Guardian.
A watchful poster.
