I'm gonna sound like a tnuc here but the voice over really pissed me off because I don't believe you should have a voice over unless
A/ It serves the plot, ie the voiceover is the sound of someone in the world of the film, being interviewed
B/ You are Terrence Malick
Every time I heard the voiceover it reminded me that I am watching a trashy hollywood film (I know that it didn't aspire to be anything more than that but still)
I guess I just like to be immersed in the plot and not be reminded that I am watching a film
also Parson's thought it was great which is usually an indication of a bad film, going by his other recommendation which have been dire (I know Parsons, i just don't get it, I'm stuck in the matrix etc)
in some cases voiceovers are fine, because you have to remember that although you are
watching a film, you are also
involved with a story.

Really? I never noticed that, but then, I only saw it the once.

get over the cheesiness of keanu in the future and just enjoy a bad ass story arc with tons of flying robots and gnostic allegory

Do you mean you have to watch all three, or you watch one, dress up like Neo and go and have a picnic in the park?

I wholeheartedly second this!
If you haven't seen 'Red Beard' then his badassery is not fully apparent to you.
I have not, it must not be, this shall be rectified immediately, thanks
Mifune's cameo in Sword of Doom is unreal, just ultimate badassness

Just so you know, 'Red Beard' is quite long and nowhere near as fast paced as Yojimbo etc. His badassery is very apparent in the scene that picture is from though.
@Noam: GITS is boss! Very similar to The Matrix, yes. I love all that Ship of Theseus/Triggers broom stuff. I'd recommend GITS 2. Do not watch it stoned though, one scene in particular will severely mind fuck you.
The soundtrack to both GITS films are amazing!

watch ghost in the shell 2 if you can. avoid the american dvd release which has dumbed down subtitles. it's worth the effort to find the good subs.

Pretty sure it's these subtitles, I uploaded the ones I had:

There's notes like [This is a quote from ___ ]
Should work on any copy of GITS2.
