Hey anyone seen this Bloodshot movie? I think I might get drunk and watch Bloodshot. Based on the trailer it looks like Guy Pearce is reprising his role from Iron Man 3! Should be a good time!
I’ve been watching a whole bunch of movies but haven’t really been posting about them here, so here’s my favourite movies I watched this month for the first time:
His Motorbike, Her Island
The Discarnates
The Deserted City
Through a Glass Darkly
Winter Light
The Silence
Hotel Monterey
Portrait of Jason
24 Frames Per Second
Bridges-Go-Round
M
Right Now, Wrong Then
Hardcore
Light Sleeper
Dark Waters
Hong Kil-dong/The Avenger with a Flute
I watched a bunch of Shirley Clarke experimental shorts which I was really into. Few Bergman, couple Schrader, a really cool North Korean Wuxia flick, etc.
But now I’m on an Obayashi kick and it’s blowing my mind. All I ever knew of his was House, but his other stuff is great so far. His Motorbike, Her Island is one of the coolest movies I’ve ever seen. So much energy and style. I’ve got a bunch more of his movies to watch and I am very excited. Anybody watch his stuff?

Because Amazon is selling? Bloodshot and other movies digitally I am tempted to do it just the question of receiving the movie and another is what is stopping me

I've seen some of his early stuff---some of his experimental shorts, which are pretty playful, then Hausu, The Visitor in the Eye, Take Me Away, School in the Crosshairs, and Exchange Students. Those last two are really solid, compelling fantasies of youth and environment. I've also seen Hanagatami, one of his latest, and it's handily my favourite of his stuff. The guy was given three months to live right when he went into production and not only finished it, but even made another film, Labyrinth of Cinema, which I'm really excited to see.
I'd like to see more of his stuff, and the one's you've checked out are ones I'm definitely going to get around to at some point. I think the Criterion Channel has Sada, and I'm pretty interested in seeing In the Realm of the Senses again after watching a whole bunch of Wakamatsu, so maybe I'll double feature those.

I posted about it earlier. It's bad and not in the good way.
It's one of those action movies that also manages to be very boring.
Also, makes very clear that Vin Diesel definitely has a clause in his contract to never lose a fight on screen.

I haven’t seen Sada yet and it’s been years since I’ve seen In The Realm of the Senses so I was actually thinking of doubling those as well.
I think you’ll really dig His Motorbike, Her Island. It’s got a distinctly french new wave vibe, particularly some of the editing, but still looks and feels completely unique, even among his filmography (or what I’ve seen of it anyway). It reminds me a bit of Breathless, except instead of riffing on American gangsters, it’s playing with motorcycles, and it also doesn’t hate women. There’s just so much energy in his work.
I haven’t seen the ones you mentioned except Hausu. I have Exchange Students and Take Me Away so I’ll check those out. I haven’t been able to find his early experimental stuff at all and I’d love to see what that’s like. Same with Hanagatami. It looks so gooood but I haven’t found it yet.
Loved Underwater so much I’m in the mood for more sea horror. Then I remembered the 1999 film Virus, which is the closest thing to quake 2 on film, it’s so bad but so good.

I'm assuming you've already done Leviathan and Deep Star Six?
Four years after South Korea’s total decimation in Train to Busan, Jung-seok, a soldier who previously escaped the diseased wasteland, relives the horror when assigned to a covert operation with two simple objectives: retrieve and survive. When his team unexpectedly stumbles upon survivors, their lives will depend on whether the best—or worst—of human nature prevails in the direst of circumstances
Starring Gang Dong-won
Cast also includes Lee Jung-hyun (pop singer Ava), Lee Re (Your Name) and Kwon Hae-hyo
That looks like a very different beast than Train to Busan, but I’m into it. Having just seen Escape From New York again recently, I’m getting some of those vibes.
We’re going to get a bunch of zombie metaphor movies out of this pandemic aren’t we?

Which I'm okay with, but

When you dig down a bit, zombies are about general social collapse, the failure state of empires/civilization, which can happen because of (or along with) disease or for other reasons; and the struggle to survive and protect those important to you under those anarchic conditions.
So... yes.
Starting tomorrow, HBO GO and HBO NOW will have free films for all to watch without needing a subscription, due to the coronavirus situation

In 1996, The MTV Movie Awards had a 'Best sandwich in a Movie' category, so fingers crossed for a return!

my hat is like a shark fin
no one ever helped me figure out which part of the hat is like a shark's fin
I friggen love deep rising, but I also love forgetting it exists and then remembering and being all “fuck yes deep rising I forgot about you”
the hat is like a shark's fin in that both are miracles of evolution that can make a very tasty soup
