Peak cinema has arrived

submitted 17 hours ago • 0 comments

Gundam GQuuuuuuX was amazing. You can 1000% tell this was directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki and co-written by Yoji Enokido and Hideaki Anno. The perfect marriage of the Gundam franchise with that signature Gainax charm and bits of Utena sprinkled in. A must watch for franchise fans.

I just saw The Colors Within. Everyone needs to see it. Finally, some real competition for best film of 2024. A beautiful artistic achievement, Naoko Yamada delivers maybe her most accomplished film to date. A modern masterpiece. The finale had me in prolonged tears. Bravo. 10/10

variety.com/2025/film/ne... Unquestionably the biggest power play in years in home video licensing. Holy shit. Bravo, Shout. This could NOT have been cheap.

I don’t like westerns (with few exceptions, they're not for me), but you gotta support good work when you see it, and this is once such case

Most movies nowadays have a total of 12 or so chapter stops on a Blu-ray or UHD, which feels a bit lazy and uninspired, but thankfully isn't too much. Then there's the JP Laserdisc of Seven Samurai with a whopping 206, at nearly one per minute. Guess Toho really wanted to flex...

December the 16th. It was a frigid morning, so cold that if you poked at the earth with ice pick, it would probably crack neatly in half.

Barnes and Noble carrying A24 exclusive releases in physical stores is a very wise move. Nice to own what's probably my number two movie of the year. A must watch.

Got a friend to read what might be my fave manga, and he didn't like it. No big deal, but I was curious as to why, so last night we began a scene-by-scene analysis of it where he points out everything he took issue with (all stuff I never considered). Only managed the first 3 volumes in a few hours.

Yesterday was absolutely insane, with three appointments all in a row after each other. One virtual followed by two in-person. The first went well, second was fine, and third was a mess because bureaucratic bullshit (how people can forget to fill things in on official documents is beyond me).

TIL that translation discourse commonly associated with Japanese cartoons and games also applies to live action cinema (re: Seven Samurai), where people prefer a worse, stilted set of subtitles whose syntax mimics the source language to the detriment of the reader because it wasn't "Americanized"...

I am a master procrastinator. I always get my stuff done on time, but end up waiting until the very end to get it done. I say this as someone who is procrastinating on a paper due by midnight. Oh what fun it is...

As a bit of a social experiment, given the large number people immigrating to here, I'm gonna post here, and only here for perhaps a week, and if there's enough engagement, perhaps I'll end up posting here (and on social media in general).

Look Back is THE film of the year. A masterpiece in every regard about the spirit of creation. A masterful achievement on an artistic level, the film surpasses Fujimoto’s original manga and reaches legendary status. The entire audience clapped during the credits, something I've not seen in forever.
