scott adkins IS the people’s champ paul wall in avengement which we watched tonight. i loved how little gun shit there was in it compared to what the poster would have you believe. watching him beat the shit out of guys in the no bully zone and the weird scene where the irish cop starts domming him for some bizarre reason were pretty entertaining. i almost gave it an entire extra star on letterboxd because of scott adkins’ grill and how much shit they broke fighting at the end. feel like theres an alternate universe where i dont know brawl in cell block 99 exists where i like this movie more than i did

i cant stop thinking about the irish cop true dom!!
OO YOU’RE GETTING MY INTERROGATION ROOM FLOOR ALL DIRTY ARENT YOU then he grabs his head and says YOU KNOW WHAT WE DO TO NAUGHTY KITTIES THAT PISSED ON THE FLOOR i love how all true dom/mes are shitty and use the same cop lines
despite the mixed reviews, i think Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence is probably one of my fav movies that is about war.

merry christmas mr lawrence is like 90% awesome ryuichi sakamoto/david bowie homo-lust and 10% war so yeah that’s why it’s one of the best war movies ever. oshima was a beast, check out the gay as fuck samurai movie he made before he died

I did a project in school on both Empire of Passion and In The Realm of the Senses. Have meant to watch more Oshima since then. Either Marry Christmas… or Death By Hanging is what I’ve thought might be the next move to make.

Gotta bring up In The Realm of The Senses having actual child abuse makes it unwatchable.

i dont judge people if they watch old movies by directors who abuse the shit out of people, because they all kind of do that but i also respect your principles rudie
your hardline stance on shit is admirable

That first scene pretty great!
First MOVIE SIN: in that opener Breaking Bad talks to Ryan like they aren’t daily boss and worker.
Wow look at all these pretty shots and this minimalist synth.
Am I trying to max out the thread because I have a good name for the next one? Maybe.
SECOND MOVIE SIN: what the hell is this situation? They just got home from the grocery store.
Smash that Bloodpotion if you store Bread on top of Limes like Carry Mulligan.

I actually love all the orange and teal of her apartment and how much the color correction makes Ryan’s Saffon Blue Denim Jacket Pop.
