I call myself a fan of one piece, but it is convenient to have read enough of it that I can seamlessly catch up on plot happenings every six months or so

It's for children
honestly, since it's been around for so long, it's more for the 20-somethings who've been reading it since they were tykes and just having children of their own

random of the day: even though i'm aware that harakiri was a more widely circulated word than seppuku in the west, i still find it silly that the former was the title for the western release while the latter was title of the movie in japan. are there others instances of this happening, where the international title is left untranslated from the original language but it's a different title with a similar meaning compared to the native release?

I wonder if it happens a lot with biopic titles, like if Ali was released as Muhammad Ali in other countries

Goddamnit I somehow got the fullscreen version of The Lighthouse. I didn’t even know they still made those.
so does it fill the widescreen or is it pillarboxed because its aspect ratio is at 1.19:1

Eyes Wide Shut is a good use of him as a screen presence, Interview With the Vampire is a great use of him as an actor
pondering "who had their career-best performance in a kubrick film" and can only think of arguables like george c. scott, peter sellers, malcolm mcdowell. never seen anything else douglas rain did, but that may be the winner by default

I was exposed to a lot of age inappropriate "artistic intellectual film" pretty quickly tbh :shrug: my dad snuck me into The Brown Bunny when I was like 16 (tbf we had no idea what it was gonna be, the poster just said like "THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL FILM IN AMERICA"). Watching Visitor Q and Irrerversible with my parents have to be the most uncomfortable film experiences of all time.
seeking out aggressively transgressive material on your own as a teenager seems normal but having your parents do it for you just comes off as strange to me

not everyone's parents are super protective/consider teenagers children
I suppose it feels like one thing for parents to let go of their supervisory role and let their children explore, it feels like a step further for the parents to enthusiastically wade through the uncomfortable violence with them as a bonding activity. maybe coming from a protective background myself, it's unusual but i ain't judging it (in fact, I may be a bit jealous)

Just saw Vertigo. Man, I almost wish that the film hadn't ended the way it did despite how incredible it was. I wanted hours of seeing their increasingly toxic and deranged relationship breakdown.
they're not really similar films but you should watch mikio naruse's floating clouds

I was fine with it except the last ten seconds. It felt like Hitchcock didn’t know where to take it and just wrote “and then she jumps out the window” to not have to think about it anymore
the original ending provided more closure but was all the more worse off for it

I know what Denis means, but this kind of absolutist thinking does explain some of the shortcomings of his filmography.
this is villenueve staking out his position as a professional film director, signaling his philosophy as an artist as well as a businessman, stand with him or criticize him for it

Saw Dune part 2 again yesterday. 1:43 laser IMAX this time. Honestly I still prefer the Alamo experience. IMAX screening was deafeningly loud. Like.. not "fun and immersive" loud. But I had to literally cover my ears at times. Pretty sure screenings aren't supposed to be that loud.
I did a double bill on sunday and the sound in dune 2 in imax gave me a splitting headache and the film I chose to follow it up with was friggin end of eva so that was real fun

i watched the plains (2022) a couple nights ago (still on mubi for next couple of days) and that's just a movie where we sit in the back of some guy's car as we hear him talk on the phone or to his passenger on his commute home from work and it sporadically veers into the philosophical and this goes on for three hours. i really liked it!

is there an audience for skinemax-style movies anymore or has the demand for hardcore pornography overwhelmed it?
