We watched Ninth Gate and Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion last night. Ninth Gate was good, excellent even. And Johnny Depp looked so much like
mr_wombat it was scary.
But the other one. Man. It was this weird combination of Hebrew mythology, science-fiction, Japanese pop culture, Freudianism and animism. It blew my mind, sidways. I understood the first half or so, but the end, the last 45 minutes? I was sitting there, wondering what the hell was going on, for most if not all of it. Now I want to see the rest of Neon Genesis Evangelion, if only to reassure myself that I wasn't seeing things.

The other movie star I supposedly look like is Nicholas Cage (in face of in particular) when I'm lacking the beard and 'tache. I don't see it myself but a lot of people mentioned it back in college.
Ninth Gate though, good movie - it actually scared me, something movies almost never do. It and the ring (japanese version) basically hold that accolade.
