fast food and coyotes
Watched Fast Food Nation yesterday. It was …. interesting. I was sort of expecting it to go somewhere, and really it kind of sat still and festered. It was … graphic, interesting, and built some decent storylines and character depth, but also pointed out idealism and how the harsh brutality of the real world stomps on that naive idealism.
Overall, I’d say it’s worth a watch, but it’s also definitely not for the squeamish (especially the second half of it, there’s some pretty gory images involving a killing floor that are not for the faint of heart).
On the anime front, I watched Coyote Ragtime Show today. It’s a nice short 12 episode series. Interesting storyline, and it’s a good balance of nearly-constant action and short but well-used quiet times. Sort of a non-episodic, non-depressed, non-insane and non-episodic rendition of Cowboy Bebop.
GG did a very good job subbing it, inasmuch as I have no particular complaints about the job they did and I thought their treatment of the credits typesetting was entertaining and well-crafted. AnY also subbed it apparently, and they tend to do good work. ADV also apparently owns the rights to it, but I’m too lazy to check if the dvds are out yet :p.
