RPMiller Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Re: Shoot 'em Up Quick question about the movie. Does it use "handicam" for the action scenes like in Bourne Ultimatum or is it shot with a good old fashioned steady cam so that you can appreciate the action?

Susano Posted September 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Re: Shoot 'em Up Oh I liked it quite a bit. I've been meaning to try a write of Rushunna for awhile now. I like the manga more -- it seems less... ditzy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorPse Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Re: Shoot 'em Up I'm in the minority. I'd like to see it for the chance to see Paul Giamatti as an action star. I was all about that myself, but I found PG a little disappointing in this. Can't decide if he was too over the top or not over the top enough. Clive Owen is sort of a wonderful straight-man, though. Never winks at the camera... he manages to approach this over the top beast of a film like it's some film noir. Very enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorPse Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Re: Shoot 'em Up On a side note, it's almost like someone said to Clive Owen, "You want to make them pay for not giving you James Bond...?" (That having been said, I thought Daniel Craig was a solid 007.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susano Posted September 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Re: Shoot 'em Up I noticed some very Bond-eque music in one scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nexus Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Re: Shoot 'em Up I like the manga more -- it seems less... ditzy. Fair enough I like some pretty light hearted stuff. Black Lagoon is about as "dark" as I get and some of the stuff in it got really close or slightly over my limit (The Vampire Twins...). Not that it wasn't a great series.

Spence Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Re: Shoot 'em Up Next year? (2008) Not too far out then. I hate waiting for episodes. I usually wait until all the DVDs are out before watching the series. It looks really good (ep 1 and trailers) so I am looking forward to it. Plus I have yet to hear anything on the boards (here and elsewhere) bad. All great or at worst OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Frisbee Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Re: Shoot 'em Up loopiest, most over the top gun-fu I've seen since Grenadier. Grenadier is essentially Equilibrium + anime + boobies. Okay, that description just shot this title to the top of my "Videos To Get" list with a bullet! (no pun intended -- but it was pretty good, right?) Sorry, I was just casing (*snirk*) the joint...
