Ghost in the Shell - live action

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

WHy yes, yes she did.

I don't know the source material. Never watched the movie/show/comic books/whatever they are, so I have zero bias going into it.

It was kind of slow, and the trailer let slip the major plot point so I knew it coming, and it was basically "Black Widow except in Japan in the Future and it's Kind of Like Blade Runner."

It was ok.

I can only imagine this was horse-fucked in the same way Aeon Flux was.

Ghost in the Bomb Shell.
Opening in 3,440 locations, the movie, starring Scarlett Johansson as a cyber-warrior determined to discover the truth about her own life, pulled in just $19 million domestically — ranking third for the weekend. It was easily overshadowed by the $49 million debut of Fox/DreamWorks Animation’s The Boss Baby and the third weekend of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, which scored $47.5 million.
Ouch. Reported budget of $110M. Better hope Asia saves this dog.

It wasn't good. Just a mess of a film.

I didn't want to pay attention half the time.

Best part was Scar Jo's outfit. That shit was form fitting. Gorgeous woman. Oh shit...did I just do a harassment?
