excessive in the horror that is michael douglas having sex

ramen is cool, but the main dudes cowboy/witch hat really bothers me

i would totally fucking hang and smoke cigs with emilio estevez

koji yokusho rocks, but like he’s somehow Brazilian or something in this

shitty soundtrack

raw fx

(flick would b a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ without its royalty free coded st)

- exceptionnelle - 

un peu comme “Ghost in the Shell” et “Blade Runner”, mais en plus ‘slay’

visuals were immaculate + score by philly glass was awesome (at points)

kinda like drive my car, but about septic tanks

godfather coded, but in japan w/yakuza and it’s like cool

continually in awe of asian camaraderie 

- and for the love of christ tip your delivery dude -

this shit still sucks

darth maul rocks, but jar jar and young anakin like don’t 

happy 25th anniversary I guess

seeing Kenny get completely roasted by Roger Ebert was the best thing ever 

- “let’s do lunch” -

seeing this again in b&w w/ orange subtitles was still the coolest way to experience this perfectly crafted flick

you said it man, nobody fucks with the jesus

formless msx cut scenes sitting somewhere between nostalgia and wtf

- big ups to whoever found this vhs in a japanese thrift store and posted it on YouTube -

dante looks 30 going on 31

Choi Min-sik hitting the vape was like the best thing ever

Yowza!

Loved - need a rewatch tho - worst people on the planet were sitting in front of me in the theatre

sometimes may be good, sometimes may be shit

c’est parfait

what could have been ………

:(

- Really connected with this flick - 

something special about the duality of Hirayama’s experience.

[appreciation and unawareness,
happiness and sadness,
 loneliness and interconnection,
 simplicity and complexity,
your world and my world]

 Wenders perfectly frames beauty in the seemingly mundane amongst the structured tone of contemporary Japan.
(I wanna go so fucking bad)

cool flick 

interesting embodiment of the contemporary American identity, presenting a culture split ideologically, politically, and socially - all disconnected from one another within close proximity from each other 

visually and musically stunning, with a touch of the fantastical 
+
cameos were amazing

still rips - like super heavy-duty

kinda fire, like the first one, but with intense post-nuclear disaster ethics and philosophy

rlly wanted to dig this - was an avid game chasers viewer as a pre teen - but fuck,  you could see the budget dwindle as the movie went on + shoddy over acting through out the whole t

nothing better than a cigarette fuelled hour and a half flick fading between crazy wide angels and 2 fps b/w mood-shots

- the much cooler looking and sounding evil twin of chungking express -

cleopatra kicks ass so hard

,but literally every other character in this flick sucked

I fucking love Johnny Woo

shit - rip princess di I guess

super nails

loved the setting and small-town campy feel of the entire crew minus TJ's accent going in and out between like a classic English actor and a Nova Scotian tradesman

- hard af - 

need that talking grasshopper on my shoulder just to chill and kick it with the homies

fuck jesus town

priest is the coolest name ever
+
the 70s lapels in this go so hard

heavy duty

perfect practical/special fx and monster designs

- best shit ever -

flick is like if cronenberg was working on a sci fi horror and then the dude who did power rangers seized the whole project

- metal af -

flick is like if Kurosawa was working on a japanese medieval/period piece and then the dude who did power rangers seized the whole project

flick fucking rips
+
reminded me I need to get my nunchucks oiled

nuts in b+w

rock heavy with the kamikaze philosophy 
+
godzilla is still the big homie

shouts out yoko kanno for the insane soundtrack throughout the entire series 

"I think it's time we blow this scene
Get everybody and the stuff together
Okay, three, two, one, let's jam"

metal 

“your tiger and crane style has no effect on me” - priest white lotus/ pai mei

more like fucking sick weapons of china

to b a young adult in the complex social, political and economic whirlwind of east/south east Asia
