i havenât minded him in other stuff, but yes, the Crank movies are his absolute apex.
I finally watched Happy Together. It is painfully beautiful. I quickly became obsessed with a song thatâs featured in the film, âCucurrucucu Palomaâ as sung by Caetano Veloso. It is the most perfect needle drop in a movie I have ever heard. The songâs core is an onomatopoeic sob, first from a man, then from a dove. I listened to ten different versions of this song on my drive home from work. I hope everyone gets a break from their loneliness this week.

street mobster and graveyard of honor seem more like what I assumed battles without honor and humanity was going to be, everyone just being total sociopath maniacs. but battles was just about young men being cannon fodder for shitty bosses. every gun fight or stabbing is a lot of flailing and screaming and itâs lucky anytime a hit goes successfully at all.
the part where theyâre locked down by constant police surveillance so one guy calls the guy heâs at war with just to fuck with him was real funny
last guy in the series who we see die, just some young nobody grunt, falls down on what looks like a red peony gambler poster
now thatâs some cinema right there
but we shouldnât make such a big deal out of consensual violence in my opinion. police involvement just makes these things escalate and anytime you start legislating life around what bored comfortable suburbanites like to work themselves up over you end up right back on the path to a surveillance nanny state hellworld like weâre in now. in addition to a right to permanent revolution and right to bear arms, people should have a right to rumble

Iâve always maintained that sometimes violence is the only option. When some libertarian dickhead I went to high school said my best friend deserved to die of an OD I immediately punched him in the face and got my ass kicked by him and his dipshit friends but it was a matter of honor. Some things you canât let lie. Americans donât want you to be able to settle scores!

anyway I did a double feature of hard target and double team yesterday and JCVD exclaims âYeah!â in both movies exactly when your thinking it
Dicen que por las noches no mĂĄs se le iba en puro llorar
They say that he spent his nights purely weeping
Sometimes, crying is the only expression that makes sense.

Oh shit belly of the beast is like the second best bad seagal movie, after out for a kill. Good call.
Donât forget Ghosts of Mars! That has the greatest cast ever assembled!
I pulled my unwatched thriftstore dollar blu-ray copy of Gamer off the shelf last weekend but opted for something else. Iâm probably going to finally check that out this weekend.

Yeah that ruled! Crank 2 set a very high bar, and I donât think this overshadowed it, but it was pretty great. Bummed I skipped this one in the theater way back when.
Always exciting to spot Lloyd Kaufman in something high budget too
