Still not sure if I actually watched this movie, or if it was all just a bizarre food poisoning induced fever dream that I had. The fact that it was a '70s Anime that inexplicably received a great and perfectly fitting '80s English dub only reinforces my belief that it was nothing more than a hallucination. But either way, 10/10.

Giant brains in space. Tits that set off nuclear bombs. Cameos from Napoleon, Laozi, Hitler, and The ****ing Justice League. Characters weaving in and out of paintings and reliefs, and running around M.C. Escher environments. Something about clones and immortality. I just don't even....

Though seeing his name makes me doubt its legitimacy as an actually good film. Is it?

It's not a movie that I would watch over and over again, but it has its moments. It's worth seeing at least once.

Spoiler for SPOLIERS / DISCUSSION:
This film was a huge letdown for me.

I'm a fan of the original "Death Wish" series. This film fails to carry on that legacy in any good measurable way.

I had high hopes, as the guy playing Paul Kersey [the main character] is a dead ringer for Charles Bronson. But every time he talks, he sounds like he's half fucking retarded. Bronson played the character as a man of few words, but this is just ridiculous. And there is barely any story line to follow. And the story that is there, is either lame or over the top.

You get the typical bad guys using guns that never run out of ammo. They have full auto Uzis and miss every time, but Kersey, with his 6-round revolver, is a stone cold killer LOL.

They also plugged in one of the lesser Baldwin brothers to try to give the movie some credibility, which is a big fail.

i kind of kept going back and forth between whoa, mindfuck and yawn, heavy-handed. i dug it's absurdity but also found it bland in the sense that it's something simple presented as something complex.

If you're a fan of Jennifer Lawrence, look up "The Fappening." You're welcome.

This movie felt like an acid trip.

Lucem, you're right, it's silly to talk about what I would or wouldn't do IRL. Glad you brought it up. Maybe you should write an instrumental about it. I recommend a piano paired with a clarinet. With ambient sounds of you hanging from your shower curtain you ****ing failure.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.
