Brand new day.
I watched the Cowboy Bebop movie late last night. I looked forward to a film full of brilliantly gritty anime interspersed with sarcastic wit and smooth tough luck characters all set to the back drop of a beautifully futuristic noir and excellent jazz music. A perfect combination! Win win!
I’ll have to admit I was disappointed. Maybe it was the badly translated English subtitles, but the plot was loose and featured almost none of the taut climaxes prevalent in the (albeit few) episodes I’ve seen. Not only that, it hardly featured any futuristic cityscape save one bizarre spaceship chase on Mars that sort of came out of nowhere. By the end you’re supposed to care for two characters who had been very poorly developed, which I could not. I saw character development as a strong point in the TV show version. This one just felt frayed.
Yes it was very late and maybe I was just too tired and maybe it was a bad translation. But I’m pretty sure that’s not the case.
Anyway, today’s Adventuresome Toad was inspired by true events. No she didn’t call me back.
Monopoly is back at Mc Donald’s and I think I stand a strong chance at the $5 million grand prize. I’ve collected B&O already. If any one has others let me know. We’ll go halvsies.
-Arrivederci!
