I don't like Anime. I just watched Death Note and I don't know why. Anything like that for you? (lemmy.world)

Memes about this show are so hard to avoid. After a week of seeing like 4-5 a day I said fuck it and watched a synopsis of the series. The ending seemed insanely contrived which put me off but for some reason I ended up downloading the show and starting it. I got the point where I personally thought they should have ended and then I stopped watching the show.

I'm still confused as to why the hell I watched it in the first place. I mean, it wasn't a waste of my time. Was rather quite enjoyable. At least I can get the fuckin' memes now. Hasn't really changed my opinion on anime (nothing negative, just not really for me 9 times out of 10) but I'm still just.... why the hell did I watch that?

Anything you've watched for reasons that you can't quite place? Whether you loved it or hated it?

I write a few notes at the end of each film. It helps when we're trying to remember e.g. "which film had the giant fish tank with naked women in a restaurant?"

Anyway, Exit Wounds:

This is the start of Seagal being black. Good tiddy bar scene.

Lots of decent scenes involving people who aren't Seagal. Story was almost decent with a twist with DMX being a good guy

Seagal blows up a helicopter by shooting it with a pistol.

Great credit scene: “I love big women. If you want to feel the heat, you gotta have the meat”

It looks like my opinion of it is vindicated!

What's been the least horrible Steven Seagal movie for you?

Bonus fun fact: in Estonia we sometimes call him Steven Seakael which means Steven Pigneck. Besides an obvious play on the name, it's also because he's a bit on the heavier side for a martial artist so he's got a bit of a thick neck

Obviously Under Siege and Executive Decision are both legitimately good films so I don't think they count. There are some films which can be enjoyable and have their charm, I'd include Out For Justice, Fire Down Below, Exit Wounds and Half Past Dead in this category. If you want to watch a bad film and laugh, my go-to is General Commander.

Love the bonus fact! I'm definitely bringing this up at our next Seagalathon
