There are a lot quote tweets in response to this interview Yamazaki had. These were the most autistic I've seen:

ofc politics/"fascism" is the problem here -- the only valid reason for any art or entertainment to exist is to promote Marxism and troonery.

I feel stupid that I never looked up the director before. I don't know the guy but apparently he did (among many other things) the movie tie-in for Sweet Home (the old NES* rpg). I shoulda oughta get round to watching that.

*well, Famicom

Kinda reminds me of the MCU fans bitter the G-1 blew The Marvels out of the water.
Minus One was phenomenal, this fucking retard is being a contrarian by shifting on the only movie with any effort in 2023 (don't @ me about Oppenheimer, it's well acted but nolans no cgi autism ruined the nuke scene)

What about Minus One's politics are bad? "Don't suicide yourself, or have too much blind faith in the government. Also start a family" sounds pretty based to me.

I believe that's populist in nature. And Yamazaki isn't a stranger to controversy in his movies. His film The Eternal Zero was criticized for the same reason -1 was, for showing Japanese Imperials and Kamikaze Pilots in a sympathetic light. Sure they made the mistake of attacking Pearl Harbor, but to say they don't deserve to feel sympathy for is delusional.

I was just talking about The Eternal Zero with an IRL friend the other day lol. I think that's partly due to the source material there. Or maybe it's what a decade can do for your opinions. Either way, it's a movie that really does paint a rather romanticized look at being a kamikaze.

But, I think Americans especially would be shocked at how many Japanese creatives are what they'd call right wing. I follow a ton on Twitter and thanks to the elections last month, a lot were posting and retweeting a lot of "get the immigrants out of Japan" shit. It was based.

Shelter 54 is great. I really loved how they adapted Biolante and the body horror was really good

Unironically better than the original imo. A lot more fucked, and it doesn't make Biolante a villain of sorts, just chills in its own ecosystem.
 
so Clean Hedorah from chibigoji

I finally got around to watching Pacific Rim. It was pretty nice overall. No substitute for Robot Jox, but what is. Also: lead actor's "American" accent is possibly the worst I've heard in a feature film. It's like Bronx NY + Australian with a jaw full of novocaine or something (he's English irl I think).

Anyway, I've heard the sequel is quite terrible. Should I: watch it? Read spoilers? Not even read spoilers because they will only anger me?
