This Yesterday film looks like a giant pile of shit!! Fuck. Weāve reached the end point of liking things as a personality! Now a whole movie is what if you were the only one that liked a thing. Then you got praise for sharing it.
Anyways yāall watch The Passenger, listen to Home Like No Place Is There, and play Ranko Tsukihimeās Longest Day.

Alita thoughts
The best western bigger $$$ adaptation of a manga/anime yet, which may not be saying a lot but look, more in tone than All Shell No Ghost. Okay rivaled by All You Need Is Kill (Edge of Tomorrow). It does show trying to cram so much into a 2 hour span, ending on a more open season / sequel promise we may never get. And it totally deserves more, so I hope.
Been like 15 years since I last finished a read of the manga (original Vols. 1-9), maybe longer since watching the short OVA. In that time, even longer since Cameron originally took a visible interest (circa '99-00, The Matrix era). Some of the impact Hollywood couldāve adapted isnāt quite the same now: comparing had it been done say more toward a decade back when he chose to do Avatar instead. I think hurdles remained whoever ended up directing it, cgfests cyberpunk and transhumanism are far more recognized than niche. Now just more mundane and APPLE-ized compared to the 90ās and early 00ās darker romance.
Itās fun, sweet, sad, and vicious. Having to remix the first third or so of the original story into something different, itās still pretty damn faithful where it counts.
Personally wouldāve enjoyed it being closer to source material R-rated, but the concession for an edgier PG-13 I see drawing more in. That and another 20-30 minutes wouldāve let everything breathe better. Itās still a success, and for Rodriguez imo, near Sin City. Wavering around B+. If it had crushing problems Iād drain it, canāt help but see this one half full though. Peep it if youāre interested, doesnāt deserve to bomb.

Does it feature Blue Ćyster Cult tattoos, references to Slaine MacRoth and delicious milk pudding tho
Yes barely, no from what I could see, and perhaps with Jackās Smirking Overview
Damnit thanks @Tulpa well, knew I was forgetting at least one other.
i said it in Goings On, but i think Alita kind of ruled. in a way similar to Speed Racer, but also in a way that felt like watching a dub from the 90s.
it feels like a relic from the 90s in so many ways, with kids just rollerblading all the time.
what iām saying is, i had a good time.

making a letterboxd account and reading the descriptions of the kinds of movies iāve loved is making me think a lot.

I watched Alita today. Iād say it was pretty decent, fun movie. It did a reasonable job capturing the vibe of the manga considering it is hollywood (so a lot of the more wacky elements are toned down considerably).
They got most of the characters right, except Desty Nova. What the hell happened there, look at any panel from the manga with him in it, youāll see itās Willem Dafoe. Instead we got Edward Norton doing some bad cosplay
Definitely a bit overstuffed with unnecessary plot trimmings though.
My friend who saw it yesterday said it felt to him that they tried to cram all 9 books into one movie. It only covers the first 2, but I can see why he would think that based on how many extraneous plot elements are vying for screen time.
They could have left all the Motorball stuff for the sequel and it would have made it flow better, although I guess that movie aināt happening.
