Sad to hear Yuen Cheung-Yan has passed. Brother of Yuen Woo-Ping and part of the iconic Yuen family, he was everywhere in HK action cinema. He grew into a comic actor, director, and stunt coordinator whose work even carried him to Hollywood (Daredevil, Charlie’s Angels).

once again thinking about how goddamn good and beautiful Strange Days is

Happy New Year to them 🎊

pretty rough year in every regard except for work

both ironic and extra offensive that they'd use the work of Japanese artist Hiroshi Nagai for this evil horseshit

The Apartment is a Christmas movie and a New Year's Eve movie and a perfect movie, period

And Tiny Gawain who did NOT die

“financially devastating but morally exhilarating” is the mood to aim for

Look at this pic of Roxy Music:

excited to pick this up - I loved this movie, and I love that Dan Trachtenberg & co. are putting time and effort into recording commentary tracks, which seem rarer and rarer with new releases these days

Ok, I'm locked in.

One of the best to ever do it

Enormously late to an utterly exceptional analysis from @priscillapage.bsky.social of 28 Years Later. So much to say about the UK's lost decade, about kindness and dignity in life & death. What a read. www.patreon.com/posts/28-yea...

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

The sea had jeeringly kept his finite body up, but drowned the infinite of his soul.

🚨 Speed Racer screenings at the Vista in Hollywood this month 🚨

Finally watched 28 YEARS LATER. As usual, @priscillapage.bsky.social is right. Protect this man at all cost.

Heard my cousins talking about stranger things and describing a "demogorogon" so I got them super high and I'm showing them The Thing and the amount of screaming happening rn is possibly my greatest accomplishment

Phantom Thread (2017) & The Passionate Friends (1949)

always start itching to watch Phantom Thread around this time of year

got a new black shirt for Christmas to add to my infinite rotation of exclusively black tees

I would very much like to see Benoit Blanc's episode of The View

posting again apropos of absolutely nothing

man, movies used to have atmosphere and color and texture and backlighting and fog and Huge Confetti* (*just got back from seeing Strange Days on the big screen)

Merry Christmas from John Woo 🥲

The Hunt for Red October is not explicitly a holiday movie in any way, but it's one of my favorite movies to watch in the stretch between Thanksgiving and Christmas

いなりずしサンタさん。 がんぼるぞい。 translation: This is an inari sushi Santa.

Jackie Chan's Police Story is a Christmas movie

my Christmas soundtrack

but man, in the ideal, is so noble and so sparkling, such a grand and glowing creature

hey I'm already watching Die Hard, that's more than enough cop energy for me on Christmas

the four words every girl wants to hear

my people

A Christmas Carol (1843) is one of our most enduring stories bc it rightly insists that to get wealthy ppl to do the right thing, we gotta scare the shit outta them first
