Hi there, Does anyone know a good place to sell DVDs other than Amazon. They've put some new restrictions on which means you can't sell certain items unless you're a top seller. What good alternatives are there? Thanks

Has anyone seen this? I just finished it and it's really good. Definitely one of the best science fiction anime I've seen and also just one of the most original science fiction stories I've come across in general. The plot is completely fascinating and engaging, which is really unusual for a 2...

I don't know if anyone has seen this guys series of videos yet but they're really well made and analytical. They really get into a lot of the issues of what separates the new films from the original series in terms of the writing quality. Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfM3WjyCt8s Part...

Hi there, After watching a couple of films recently that I hadn't in a while, I started thinking about why certain films are rewatchable and others aren't. For myself, I've come to the conclusion, that it's the depth of characterisation and the atmosphere the film generates, that brings me...

Hi there, I have a question regarding the way different types of Geek are catergorised. When I say "catergorised" I'm talking more in terms of how they approach the things they're fans of rather than the specific fandoms they belong to. Is there an existing term for geeks who aren't very...

I just got finished watching RGU. I don't really tend to watch things in the fantasy/magical girl/fairy tale genres but I decided on this one because it is accepted to be a classic. As I don't really watch series/films in this genre the only thing I really have to compare it to is Madoka which...

I've been thinking recently about the type of tropes/cliches that you find in science fiction and fantasy. This is mainly because of Prometheus but also other things. Basically, I’m done with science fiction where humanoid aliens or aliens with human level intelligence are a major part of the...

Okay, so I saw Battle Royale about a month ago and HG yesterday. Overall, I enjoyed them both but prefered HG for the subtle commentary on power and also I found the romance quite charming. Has anyone else noticed that the Japanophiles are going ape **** over this film because they see it as...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-17442200 To me it just looked like a cross between Avatar, the last quarter of Attack of the Clones and the new Clash of the Titans. I don't know how the hell Disney thought this could be acceptable.

I know that at this point this show is pretty ancient but I just finished watching it recently and I've got some questions about the plot. It's alluded to that the Nobles have different origins to the rest of humanity who are supposed to be descended from Wolves. Is it ever hinted what these...

Looking over the anime series that I've really liked, a promenant feature of them is that they have a very small group of main characters (like 3-5). Most series aren't like this though and tend to have about 12 main characters. I feel there's a really noticable difference in quality as a result...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-16224394 What do you think his point was with this? I hear Right-Wingers pull this line all the time but I don't see any evidence of it on the ground. The newest reality TV series to come out seems to generate more enthusiasm in this country than...

Wow. Everyone needs to watch this show. I haven't seen any series this good since Lain in 2007. I would seriously put this up there with shows like Now and then, Lain and Paranoia Agent. I'm not interested in Magical Girl shows and I don't think I've ever watched one start to finish and yet...

I'm sure a lot of you have have watched Evangelion: You Can Not Advance on dvd/BR by now. Does anyone find that it's not as good as you originally thought it was with successive viewings. When I first watched it I was totally blown away by the battle sequences and with what happens to Asuka. Now...

Did anyone else see this yet? I've never actually liked a vampire movie/series before but this one totally blew me away. A lot of vampire movies tend to be quite corney but this one wasn't at all. Vampires tend to be portrayed either as wierd campy aristocrats/goths or as zombie beastmen. This...

Does anyone know what this includes other than the film?

Hi thar, I first saw the American version of The Ring in 2003. It disturbed the crap out of me then. Only a couple of weeks later I saw the Japanese original when it premiered on C4. I didn't really give a lot of thought to either film but recently I rewatched the American version and found...

This seems to me increasingly the case. Almost every newish anime I watch that has romance in it either involves very young (ie pre-sexual) teenagers or if it does involve older people it's always a kind of platonic romance. I'm not even saying all these shows/films are bad I just find it...

Hi there, I've got Region Free DVD equipped on my laptop. For some reason it's not playing my Region 1 version of SkyCrawlers that I bought a year ago but had only watched on a dvd player. Using VLC it plays but there's a lot of interference lines. The other players won't work at all because...

Hi there, In the final episode when Norika and Kazumi stay behind to detonate the black hole bomb it takes them 12,000 earth years to get back. Does this mean that Gunbuster still had warp speed despite being torn in half? If so why did it take them so long to get back (in earth years)...
