Phoenix is more similar to Transit, both better than Undine imo

 

Ended up with:

Lost Highway
The Long Day Closes
Exotica
The Piano Teacher
The Celebration
45 Years

couldn’t resist Lost Highway

 

Got these + White Material and True Stories (because I felt like I needed at least one blind buy)

 

Some more Taiwan love

 

I need to get Lost Highway

 

Bergman Island! Let’s goooooo. One of my absolute favorite films from last year.

-Bergman Island
-The Adventures of Baron Munchausen
-Lars Von Trier’s Europa Trilogy
-This is Not a Burial, It’s a Resurrection
-Imitation of Life (1934)

Devastating

 

any of y'all good at telling if a FB marketplace vendor is a scam or not? Ive been out of the loop and tryna buy some movies but not sure how much BS is on there. Is this one like obvious no good? Lol

Those are some crazy low prices imo

 

Looks legit. You could try it and pay with goods and services and then you are covered for 6 months if you need to file a claim and get your money back. Or you can ask them to send you an invoice through PayPal. Does the same 6 month coverage.

 

Will be going into this completely cold within the next couple days



Probably gonna succumb to a bigger B&N haul before the sale is over

 

its SO mesmerizing. love the way it divies out details in the most understated/subdued way. you're in for a treat imo

 

Cure is better than every comparable Fincher movie

 

Was just able to order the 4K release of In the Mood for Love. It's currently only $25 on Amazon. Only $14 for shipping across the Pacific. Still paid less than full price in total.

 

Also, worth noting for King Hu fans.

A new Taiwanese documentary called The King of Wuxia was shown and had quite the array of footage showing the filming locations used in his films and how they look today along with interviews with several prominent actors from his filmography. I highly suggest checking it out once it is available to rent or stream. I believe it recently won at the Golden Horse Awards for best documentary film.

Also, never thought I'd see the Marvel Cinematic Universe referenced in a King Hu documentary. lol

 

THREE COLORS 4K!

 

INLAND EMPIRE!!!

 

Curious how Inland Empire will look, I didn't get a chance to catch the rerelease in theaters.

For those curious, iirc the original MiniDV tapes were unusable, so they took the HD upscale from the original release, downscaled it to it's original quality, then used modern AI upscaling to 4K.

 

So excited for Inland Empire

 

YES

 

I saw it in theaters this summer. Looked excellent.

 

I did too, a wild experience

 

Triangle of Sadness

YES

 

Not a Triangle of Sadness guy, but very excited for the Small Axe boxset.
