Tatsuya Nakadai riding a demon motorcycle to death in The Wicked City. What a legend.

RIP Tatsuya Nakadai One of the best to ever do it. An expert at being a wild-eyed, haunted weirdo.

Scrolling my feed, and felt like we oughta re-up on happy dogs this week.

Make sure you are buying Criterion discs from B&N. They are the ones running the sale, Amazon is only matching. Without B&N, there’s no discount discs.

Only cool if it opens in present day with Kurt Russell and Keith David still sitting in the middle of Antarctica sharing a bottle.

If you get $25 worth of books and merchandise from the store, we throw in a free Guy Fawkes mask.

SERIOUSLY?

The name of this painting is "Uncle's Fantasy"

Dicey Dungeons and Haiku, the Robot are the best $7 you'll spend this week https://kotaku.com/switch-cheap-indie-game-sale-roguelike-metroidvania-2000641389

The collection of all 5 issue of Budding Crisis is OUT TODAY!!! If you have Prime, it should be free! www.amazon.com/Budding-Cris...

I made a Godzilla zine earlier this year but I never put it for sale online. I'm opening up my store today if you're interested in getting a copy! Act fast, I'll probably close shop up again tomorrow. littlehousecomics.bigcartel.com

Spooky day may be behind us, but dick jokes are always in season.

Excited to see SHALL WE DANCE? being released by Film Movement. An uncut version to boot! (I didn't realize it had been cut for American audiences, but since it was released by Miramax, I shouldn't be surprised) vinegarsyndrome.com/products/sha...

Quote with your favourite film and album from the year you were born.

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing. Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

24 hours left in the Isle of Elsi Book Three Kickstarter campaign! Ends Thursday morning (Oct 30) www.kickstarter.com/projects/lon... Last call to preorder Book 3 or to get discounted copies of Books 1 and 2!

Share a cartoon from the past that kids today probably never heard of. To be fair, I've never heard anyone mention this show.

I mean...

Saw a post on tumblr that said “Think I need a motivational poster of one of Saejima's big soft cat-looking smiles that says: "Never let an unkind world make you an unkind person".” So I drew this 🖊️🦑

BY THE WAY If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2. There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security. Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation." TURN IT OFF.

A brand new Blade Licking Thirves is here! This time it’s our review of Tetsuya Nomura’s Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, and we discuss a whole bunch on this one. Our own personal history with the games and the film itself, as well as the many changes it went through and your questions. Enjoy!

A joy to speak with Nobuhiro Yamashita, Doona Bae, and James Iha about the legacy of LINDA LINDA LINDA, an underdog indie that continues to capture the hearts of new fans. For @filmmakermagazine.com.web.brid.gy filmmakermagazine.com/132226-oral-...

Me, after watching movie: I'll log this on @letterboxd.social, but I want to take some time to consider what I'll write for a review. Me, one day later:

Some cool answers in the responses to this one.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years. His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds. A massive loss 💔

And finally, Kaz Wheeler appeared on the latest episode to discuss a western film about Japan — Sydney Pollack's neo-noir, The Yakuza! japanonfilm.com/theyakuza/

Next, Christopher Hood joined for Happy Flight, bringing his expert knowledge of Japan's transportation industry to a fun movie. japanonfilm.com/happyflight/

✅ #MovieChallenge MIDNITE SPARES (1983, d. Quentin Masters) A sprint car driver returns to his hometown to find his missing father, while also tearing up the race track and thwarting a chop shop ring with his buds. Another wild Australian car flick!

Finally, a holiday for my people. 🥳

Ripley & Jonesy. New in my store andiwatson.bigcartel.com

As a fan of Shinobu Yaguchi, it was really cool to hear this podcast covering one of his movies, Happy Flight. Besides movie talk, there's a lot of interesting info about the Japanese airline industry discussed as well!

Just saw these stills from Akira Kurosawa's High and Low and said "Good heavens" out loud.

✨Retooling even MORE of my old Sonic the Hedgehog fan art into comic panels✨

Yay! Isle of Elsi Book Three is a "Project We Love" on Kickstarter (and has already cleared 1/3 of the funding goal!) www.kickstarter.com/projects/lon... Thanks, everyone for your support of this project! #kickstarter #projectwelove

Worthy of an update video @jessecox.bsky.social?

if you have a library card (which all of you should have), you most likely have free (!!!) access to Kanopy aka an underrated, ad free streaming service with a ton of movies + short films FREE!!! through the library!!! your smart tv most likely as an app for it- mine does!

Perhaps you need a happy dog this week.

Sigh... There aren't enough hours in the day...

HANG IN THERE BABY!! #art

Chibi crew of the Enterprise from Uchusen Magazine Vol. 47, 1989. SD Tasha is great and it's funny seeing early clean-shaven Will.

Don't let the current news distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda Civics with Spoon engines and on top of that, he just came into Harry's and ordered three T66 turbos with NOS and a Motec system exhaust.

Love this section from Kurosawa’s DREAMS.

I feel like I'm blanking on a few more, but off the top of my head... Better Off Ted Party Down Terriers

I’ve been rewatching the Coen Bros filmography this month and while drawing a Barton Fink illustration, it struck me how much their films feel like Far Side cartoons: funny, strange, clever, yet frequently inscrutable. Anyway here’s a thread!

Our latest Blade Licking Thieves podcast is here, and this time it’s our review of Shin Ultraman! With this review we discuss not only Ultraman writ large and this film, but also hash out our feelings on the entire Shin project. This is a big one, enjoy it folks!

Wow I didn’t realize that on top of being an enka superstar (and “Trucker Goddess”), Aki Yashiro was also a painter! Real “Etsuko Shihomi is now an accomplished ikebana artist” moment.
