Red and green wave forms across a black monitor. A white subtitle for dialogue is at the bottom and it reads: it sounds like the voices of more than 5 babies

Oh, you're complaining about the Super Bowl halftime show are you?

Hideo Murota's got lapels for days

YouTube video by ThePandemicLight Blur - Song 2, but every "woohoo" is done by Mario

find something funny -> I should show people this -> i bet everyone’s already seen it -> yep several million people already -> that’s not enough youtu.be/66yH8RZSwUc?...

A peach coloured backdrop. In front of it is Etsuko Shihomi in a white karate gi, holding nunchucks while performing a double footed kick. She is completely blocked out by giant Japanese lettering in green and red. The English subtitle in white beneath reads sister street fighter hanging by a thread

#NowWatching Sister Street Fighter: Hanging by a Thread (1974). Another first time watch. Etsuko Shihomi is pretty badass so this should be fun

Found a 2hr video of red bull soap box races on YouTube.

Edith couldn’t be happier

Only 5 months away and no Super Bowl trailer?

Comic book movie dot com headline: Sony Boss Teases "Surprising And Terrific" SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY After Seeing Early Footage

Man ultimately responsible for one of the biggest movies of the summer says it’s good, honest.

It’s the Signs thing isn’t it. Invading a planet with so much water seems silly. Like invading a planet that’s so damned loud all the time

Feeling like we need a Star Wars show set between VI and VII detailing how placating fascists led to The First Order stealing babies and building planet-sized weapons of mass destruction 30 years after the last space nazis were toppled

There’s one particular film someone logged in January that I can’t find even an old copy on import sites, let alone okru, dailymotion, or any other barrel scraping video sites. Drives me nuts

a white cat is sitting on a box with the words where written on it . Alt: a white cat is sitting on a box with the words where written on it .

When I see someone log a film on Letterboxd that I can’t find to rent/ buy/ stream/ conjur from the ether

Got caught up in a huge crowd of Young People coming home from Soho just now, someone's phone blasting out Gypsy Woman and I swear I was the only person old enough to have remembered it from first time around (yes I did sing along)

If you miss them in the U.S. they’ll be back across Europe sometime after no doubt

Caught them for their Fables of the Reconstruction tour last year. They're so damned good

Holy shit. Final scene Sonny Chiba reveal.
Back to his Ethan Hunt trickery!

Absolute chaos as a mob of multicolour jacketed mobsters, black jacketed goons, and angry folk race towards the camera

A bald man with a tiny moustache asks a girl What movie are they shooting

The girl responds It's Kabamaru the ninja boy

little moustache bald man smiles and replies, I love comedies

What a very silly movie.
This meta moment made me chuckle

Red bold Japanese lettering in front of a city skyline that I'm assuming reads Kabamaru the ninja

Staying aboard the Sonny Chiba x Hiroyuki Sanada train. #NowWatching Kabamaru the Ninja Boy (1983)

I've just discovered Tetsuro Tamba co-stars in Game of Chance 3 (1967) which makes it especially cruel that I can't find it anywhere

Judy Greer
Clancy Brown
Hiroyuki Sanada
Rachel Weisz
CCH Pounder
Stanley Tucci

6yr old Hiroyuki Sanada. He's wearing a blue coat and smiling, exposing his pearly whites. Behind him is a large bank of snow

Seriously tho, I would die for this kid*

No idea why the got the year wrong but yeah, this one's been a bit of a white wale for me

Red Japanese lettering across a landscape with trees. Beneath in yellow the English translation reads: Game of Chance 2

#NowWatching Game of Chance 2 (1967) on YouTube. The quality isn't great but it's Sonny Chiba and a 6yr old Hiroyuki Sanada ffs!

to be human is to suck shit at art for at least a little while

Bonus 40 - Searching For Italy/ Stanley Tucci in Italy (with Mark Searby) Is Paul Dano OK? · Episode

There was something very soothing about watching Stanley Tucci's Searching For Italy during the craziness of the Covid pandemic.

The guys @ispauldanook.bsky.social podcast asked me to come on and talk about how the show always relaxes me and why Tucci is such an entertaining foodie:

Ok. So I’m quarter of a century late on this but the songs in Parappa the Rapper 2 are bloody awful

Headline reads: Sandisk crayons flash drive: unique, fun, colourful- and slow

Same, SanDisk Crayola flash drive. Same

Scene in a car. The passenger asks the driver who the hell are you

Reverse shot of scene in car. The driver tugs at the skin beneath his chin

Driver removes last vestige of face mask. Surprise cock face. It's Sonny Chiba

Sonny Chiba says, I make the impossible possible

#NowWatching The Street Fighter's Last Revenge (1974) and this reveal made me wish Ethan Hunt had met Sonny Chiba at some point

It was a simpler time. Four Rooms would’ve been smashed to pieces if online existed properly back then
