Hi, is this the amateur film connoisseur convention? Do I start waving my dick around now?
I love animation.

Of course you'd link the slightly shit one that obscurely references Jean-Luc Godard instead of the sequence from episode 5 where Bebop and its soundtrack blows almost everything else out of the water. :/

I don't even know what this is supposed to mean.
I'll tell you. What a like about you is your consistency. It's something I lack a little. Summoning you it's as easy as making a grammatical error, or not using a definition absolutely like the textbooks say. It's solid, and as pedantic as it is, strictly speaking (from a robots pov sans interpretation or any humanity) you're always correct.
I've done a bit, as they say. Japanese, French, Chinese, Israeli. I've also been in a lot of real fights, in my teens (all defensive mind), and done a lot of full contact (mouth guard, gloves, box) sparing and grappling.
I don't like film combat that isn't realistic unless it's out and out fantasy, like MCU stuff, Crouching Tiger, old Jackie Chan, Kung Fu Hustle etc.
My favourite hand to hand scenes are probably Gross Point Blank locker fight, apartment scene in the first Bourne film, that kind of thing. The Raid 1 has some good moments. Bodies are too fragile in the Raid 2.
So when I saw your name as the last post I was going to see something new I might like, because I imagined your pedantry would extend to the realism of action scenes. It doesn't. Thus my disappointment.
Apologies for typos. On a mobile and of to see The Predator now.
Stay robot Clay. Stay cool.

Still holds up almost 40 years later, stone-age CGI and all.

TL;DR you responded to the wrong post. Well, at that point you had a 50/50 chance of hitting the right one.

That Pierrot dude was sick though man. Can't beat crazy.
I sort of remember the final fight in the Bebop movie is also a cool one, but I haven' seen it in ages.

Looks like he's based on the Penguin in Batman

Not sure if trolling or missing physical chunks of your brain.
I'm dead serious.
In the eighties I've watched horror movies. Then crap like the Saw movies came out, and I'm cured. No horror movies for me anymore. And the generic "action movie" is as entertaining as watching grass grow. Also thrillers with the occasional shootout or car-chase can't keep me interested. Boring as fuck.
There are some interesting movies with violence. But there are very few of those. Old boy was a huge surprise for me. I went to that movie without knowing anything about it. It turned out to be a great movie. I like Tarantino movies, because he had a refreshing take on violence. After mentioning those, I have to think long and hard, and I can't come up with any good action movies. Marvel movies, Star Wars, James Bond, Pirates of the Caribbean, Transformers, James Bond, Fast&Furious, all boring as fuck. (Edit: Crouching Tiger is cool. Clockwork Orange is about violence, I liked that one. The end of Taxi Driver was violent, also a great movie. But real action movies: not for me).

Lots of good action scenes in LOTR, but this is one of my faves:

Not by coincidence. The entire episode is a bit of an homage to Batman: The Animated Series, you can see that in the generally dark colour palette with its focus on silhouettes, and the overall murk and fog of the story.
raph: in the context of the entire show, Pierrot le Fou is a bit of an anomaly. The stand-alone episodes usually have a broader point that reflect some side of the characters, but this one seems to be stylistics for the sake of stylistics. It's creepy and inexplicable, sure, but it's ultimately an exercise in technique that has nothing more to say than, 'Look, creepy villain! Aren't mad people creepy?'. Not that there's anything wrong with atmospherics - it's choreographed beautifully - but in a show like Bebop, you tend to hold each episode to a higher standard dictated by the context of the show's overall quality, and this episode doesn't quite meet that benchmark.
