If I try to be objective I might be overrating it, but not a lot a of movies have enchanted me like it did. I hope the spell still holds on rewatch. It's basically an exploitation movie but with an almost fairytaleish beauty and timelessness to it.

 

[CiG]

I adore Lady Snowblood.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

I should watch more newer movies. I'm totally out of the loop on almost everything from the last decade.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

Lady Snowblood still holds up for me.

I should watch more newer movies. I'm totally out of the loop on almost everything from the last decade.

i wrote up a halfway decade top 50 at the end of 2014. i'd change it a bit now and add a few from the last couple of years but it's a good place to start, in my highly subjective opinion of course.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

Thanks. I'll explore it when I have time to watch movies.

Chipotle has more than 5 meats?

 

[zabu of nΩd]

No, I listed all of them

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Chipotle is a place I pretty much never go to because it's nowhere to be found in my general vicinity, either going to work or school. I did go there once about a year or so ago simply because I had a gift card, and it was pretty good, but a fast casual chain restaurant is not one of those places I would go out of my way to dine at.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

It's two blocks from where I work, and their bowl lasts me two meals, so I eat there almost every work day.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Top 5 games I've been watching on Youtube this past month:

1. Age of Empires 2

Did I have anything to do with this?

 

[zabu of nΩd]

I remember you mentioning it, but I was already watching it when I read your post.

 

[no country for old wainds]

my grandad owned age of empires and taught me how to play when i was a kid. also introduced me to the joys of the amstrad CPC. what a dude

 

[Talos of Atmora]

Top 5 Fates Warning albums:
1. Awaken the Guardian
2. Perfect Symmetry
3. The Spectre Within
4. No Exit
5. Parallels

 

[Phylactery]

That's a strange list. The Spectre Within and Awaken the Guardian are easily number 1 and 2 for me respectively.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

It's really inconsequential for me with a band like this. Besides, the first albums I ever listened to, one after the other, was Awaken the Guardian and Perfect Symmetry. Could have affected the order.

By the way, I changed my mind with that. Parallels is at the 5th for me.
