New Sam Raimi? Why didn’t anyone tell me???

I last watched the Patlabor film at least twenty years ago, but I’ve been itching for a revisit recently. I suspect Patlabor 2 will be feeling very prescient right now…

That is actually a perfect summation of liberal inaction in the face of everything that’s happening. Absolutely going to be using that going forward.

I just saw this today. So good. Ralph Fiennes was so amazing in this, we were so lucky to have him in this.

Less flopping dong in this one though.

I had to check 2009 on Letterboxd. There are some good films like Dogtooth, Moon and Mary and Max. But yeah, I had to scroll past a lot of pretty uninteresting looking stuff to find that.

I looked the guy up and his cv is stacked! No wonder he was so effective in that role. But yeah, the film would have been absolutely epic if we had more of that cabbie being excited about having an excuse to drive like a lunatic.

You could get a ticket to see Bowie live for SIXTY PENNIES? 😭

Sweet poster though.

This was my introduction to Soviet comedy. The jokes about housing quotas translated well into modern.

When I first saw that I was already familiar with the plot thanks to pop cultural osmosis. I saw The Simpson’s parody before the real thing. But seeing the buildup with Bernard Herman’s score meant it lost none of its impact to me.

Thousands dead from a strangely slow moving explosion but we cheer because a dog survived. Movies are magical. 🥹

Just put it in a sensible location and it will work itself out.

Why can’t we call Baby Yoda Baby Yoda?

Dang, guy was in everything from Dragons Forever to Charlie’s Angels. Did fight choreography for Iron Monkey. One of those guys who was everywhere in seventies and eighties Hong Kong cinema and was always good.

He directed Taoism Drunkard, which is on my Blu-ray pile. Gonna pop that in today.
