For those who aren't on Twitter and missed this here's a link for a rare film collection that I posted there earlier this week, most of these are not very easy to find, English subtitles included for those that need them.

As most of you know already my Twitter account got terminated, I thought it was just going to be a couple days suspension but Twitter support confirmed that it will not be restored due to copyright infringements so it's time to start over. New uploads are coming.

I just realized there's one ABS-CBN restored movie with English subtitles! This is because they got the copy of Nunal sa Tubig (Speck In The Water) from Fukuoka City's library
And yes, that means it has hardcoded Japanese and English subs

If you missed your chance to see HOT DOGS FOR GAUGUIN (1972), Martin's Brest thesis film at NYU starring a young Danny DeVito when it leaked in 2022 you can now correct that as someone has uploaded an HD copy of it on Youtube! This was imposible to see for 50 years!

Anyway, "Gaza Ghetto" is devastating, heartbreaking stuff.
It depicts a bad situation that has only gotten worse.
Worthwhile, powerful viewing, but depressing.

after checking out both the FOTR HDR theatrical 4k and 1080 SDR I have to say, the 4k hdr is much better than I expected, it's really nice after looking at the official 4k remaster where all the effects shots now look alien and nothing that's composited feels like its in one place. thanks!
