John Gardner's "Grendel"
KvP:
OT, but didn't they make a new Evangelion movie not long ago? NGE is a lot less mind-blowing to me now than it was in high school. The "you think you've seen nuts? This is nuts!" ending has worn me down as I've seen it happen over and over in anime. I just about gave up on the genre after being forced to watch Elfin Lied.
Jackie Blue:
I hate people who don't realize that anime is as diverse an artform as regular cinema. It's not all giant robots and magical schoolgirls.
Though, granted, sometimes it's really hard to find the good anime, especially since some of the best stuff hasn't been officially brought to the US.
And I don't care what anyone says, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzimaya is great. Though I cringe at its general fanbase.
Johnny C:
I saw Paprika this year and it was utterly incredible.
Anyways, Grendel is a marvelous book, but I don't know how comfortable I'd be seeing it made into a proper film. Even as an arthouse flick I think it'd lose something, since half of the novel is just Gardner fucking around with literary convention.

I piss on Evangelion.

Molested by nightmares.
