So I watched a movie and it was just like.. head spinningly good.

"The man from Earth"

A man claims to be 14,000 years old and recounts a lot of his history in front of some fellow teachers while he is saying goodbyes.

Want more

The Prestige...

I have to check out this movie, thanks for the recommendation. Is it a recent release or old school stuff?

The prestige

Swordfish
The matrix
The nines
The air i breathe
Into the wild

Anime like Spirited Away is a bit wtf.. i need to get more of these sometime.

Also a lot have weird names i will have to scan through some and see if there are any more i cant think of by name.

It's a lot more explicit in terms of what the writer's intentions were... doesn't leave as much room for your to draw your own conclusions.

Otherwise much the same.

Is it "a lot more explicit in terms of what the writer's intentions were... doesn't leave as much room for your to draw your own conclusions.
