just watched Obsession last night and it basically reminded me of Swan Boy.
Begged my dad to take me to see Under Siege 2: Dark Territory in theaters, just before I started 6th grade. So, I would have been 9. But, my dad did accidentially rent both The Thing and The Fly thinking they were the 1950s originals and just let us watch them. Those could have been first.
Patrick Klepek@patrickklepek.bsky.social · 2mo agoDo you remember what *your* first R-rated movie was? I finally asked my mom (I couldn't remember), and she told me it was The Lost Boys when I was roughly the same age as my daughter (about 9). The movie traumatized her more than it did me, apparently
Tonight's movie: Johnnie To's Breaking News - opens with an incredibly tense 8 minute single-take. Nothing fancy, but technically impressive none-the-less. Narratively too, as it really sets a stage and shows the cast. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOpX...

During May, I watched 34 Takashi Miike movies. Stuff that I owned and didnt get to and stuff that was easily available to stream. I plan to continue to add to this - I'm missing some big examples, but stuff is coming in the mail for later I made a ranked list of them: letterboxd.com/dustcough/li...
Directed by Takashi Miike

Basically this whole song is summarized in the first 30 seconds of Dead or Alive 3, a summary about Dead or Alive 2: Birds - something that came out over 2 decades beforehand. Miike has been thinking about these things, clearly.

It might be a little late to start posting about my cinema adventure to watch as many Takashi Miike films that I have access to, as I am 24 movies into this. Tonight I'm going to watch The Bird People in China - a film I know nothing about youtu.be/LcBMl6ar9Iw?...
