Yes you're right I'm totally embarrassed on this crappy site with a bunch of anonymous people that don't know me. That's the beauty of the internet you get to talk poop and go on with your life.

Yup. And you still managed to sound doooshy despite the fact you knew that too. That takes extra doooshy talent.

A Japanese cartoon about creator of Japanese fighter plane is your #2 favorite movie?

Yowza!

Its a film about art and creation, and has been critized a lot in Japan for its anti-war message.

So, yes.

(And I'm not american, so I don't have the same history with Japan. Then again, half of the New Hollywood movies are inspired by Akira Kurosawa's cinema.)

Hahaha. Oh please.

You're so enlightened


I think Turbo is the best! It's message about treating snails as equals is a very powerful message

Hahaha. Oh please.

You're so enlightened

If you haven't got that this movie is very much anti-war, then you're not very enlightened indeed.

Oh, I'm sorry, it's anti war? It must be the best movie ever!

Anyone who states a cartoon is his #2 favorite movie of all-time, is an assss hat, regardless of it's message

And just a heads-up.... There are 100s of war movies that are anti-war. A movie's message doesn't make it the best

The Wind Rises
"6th best film of 2014" - Cahiers du Cinéma

But yeah, I'm an assss hat for putting an animated movie at #2, while specifying this list is a personal one.

Never thought a top 50 movie list would make a bunch of people so insecure. Good God.

If you don't like foreign movies and cartoons then you aren't woke.

Also if you are really woke you refer to them as films rather than movies.

Nothing beats watching a good subtitled film, then read the hockey boxscores the next morning, check out naturalstatrick, and then pump out a blog, and collect $12.75 for the day.

Dude welcome to the internet.


Since you are lucky enough not to read this comments section frequently, i should point out that all the people insulting you that I recognized only started coming here after I insulted their morbidly obese hero .


Now they won't leave .
