Just watched Force 10 From Navarone, crazy what you could put in a PG movie back then lol

Watching Tsui Hark's Tri-Star (1996)

Yeah alright that tracks

For the fourth year running I once again ask my beloved mutuals: give me a movie to watch at some point this year Already filled up the first three slots but trying to cast a wider net, so throwing this out over here too

Gonna let this post be a formal recommendation - a great 90s throwback to labyrinthine Fukasaku-style yakuza politicking/gang warfare flicks, Akira Kobayashi one of the coolest guys of all time, incredible violence, Takeshi Kitano cameo, has all the things cinema is made of

Joe Dante's The Movie Orgy has gotten a remaster so I ask of my followers: does anyone know what movie this image from the opening comes from, I've been dying to know for years

Keep thinking about how fucking funny the Niconico section is

Koji Shiraishi's newest, run don't walk...

Watching Pluribus, the immune guy who uses the scenario to do Damn My Life A Movie For REAL shit is so awesome lol

Amazing how harshly the vibes can shift in two days

Back at the @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social for another screening of Dreadnaught on 35mm, what the hell

Favorite first time watches November 2025: - BLADE OF FURY - GORKY PARK - JUICE - LAST MAN STANDING ('95) - PROCESS RED - STRAITS OF MAGELLAN: "DRAFTS AND FRAGMENTS" - THE AGE OF ASSASSINS - THE LEGEND ('93) - THE LOOT - THE VINCENT PRICE COLLECTION OF FINE ART - WINTER SOLSTICE

Now seated for Yuen Woo-ping’s Dreadnaught on 35mm at @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social!

Sammo Hung's Blade of Fury is my favorite kind of historical drama about national mythmaking: the kind where every position on the ideological spectrum is represented by a different martial arts fighter and there’s a quintuple decap in the first fifteen minutes

Now seated for The Matrix on 35mm at the @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social!

Split diopter in BANDITS VS. SAMURAI SQUADRON (Gosha, 1978)

Firm recommend for all my beloved followers: Thai Police Story (1986) - here is but one of the many fight/stunt sequences in it

Hideo Gosha making Nakadai's sword strokes so savage he put squibs on them....god Goyokin is so fucking good

RIP Tatsuya Nakadai!!!!! After you watch his Kobayashi/Kurosawa work, I recommend THE WOLVES, a yakuza drama with Leone-esque ambition about Nakadai realizing the systems of honor he's devoted his life to are a sham, usurped by coldblooded 20th century capital. Some of his very best work.
