I watched The Cat (1992) last night, and while it takes a bit to get going and never feels quite as feverish as the other stuff I’ve seen from Lam like Riki-Oh or The Seventh Curse, it’s still pretty wild and fun. The junkyard fight between the cat and Lo Pau is bonkers, but I absolutely do not want to know how they filmed it. I’m pretty sure one shot was achieved by just throwing a real cat into a puddle.

Yeah there's a lot of just animal abuse in Hong Kong films from the 80s especially cat 3 films

I tried watching Calamity of Snakes expecting a crazy horror/disaster movie but turned it off once it was obvious they were just hacking up real snakes with garden tools.

Yeah they kill a lot of chickens too. I don't know why specifically Hong Kong films killed snakes and chickens but they do. Also they seem to gently caress with cats a lot too.

OK when I posted that I assumed there was only like 15 or 20 minutes left, it would just be one big action set piece and that would be it. But then they started introducing this whole new plot element and I checked and there were 45 minutes left.

So I am officially bailing on Yakuza Weapon

This is me but with Midsommar when I was like "Wow this move sure is taking its time, hoping it speeds up" then I look at the clock and its got another hour and a half left. I was like "Goddamn it".

Apparently I was watching the directors cut.

I guess more in general. I was reading r/filmindustryLA and getting annoyed at the redditor dumbasses therein, and it occurred to me I never really sought out the same kind of stuff here. Facebook groups are beset by boomer Facebook drama, subreddits are 60% "I'm about to graduate, should I move to LA?" and "how do I become a director? I'm too shy to network." And both are full of doomers and shills who can't stop plugging Open.AI products that are coming for our jobs.

Basically this. Movie set shitposting, but goonier. I wanted to talk about Grips eating crayons.

Has any director had a decade that rivals Coppola's 1970s? 5 films that are 4 S tier and one A tier (I suppose 3 and 2 if you're an especially harsh critic). Otherworldly and I can't think of another decade of that caliber from anyone.

Which film are you considering A tier.
