Some recent blu ray pick ups. Bit of an apocalyptic undercurrent here...

Another day, another show cancelled after one season on Netflix (Kaos, this time). This is why I never bother watching any TV other than limited series, or old stuff that's already complete. They just never give anything a proper chance to get going

Paths of Glory remains his best, I think...

Rewatching Dr. Strangelove has me thinking that maybe my tastes have changed a good deal since I was a teenager. It was fine, and technically great, but I felt it dragged at times. I think I just prefer films with warmth, rather than Kubrick's cold technical brilliance.

Looking for something to watch? I've written up a list of the best J-Drama series I have watched on Netflix so far (from most to least favourite). See if anything catches your eye! https://t.co/JkQJcHVKu0

Rewatched The Times of Harvey Milk tonight. It'll make you sad, and then it'll make you rage, but ultimately it makes you hopeful. What he stood for is something that can never be killed, a kind of strength and hope that stands for eternity. A documentary well worth watching.

[Film Positivity @FilmPositivity]

@FilmsRadiance Would happily take on any Japanese films, as the majority of the writing I do on my website is in that area!

And His Motorbike, Her Island was the one I was disappointed by. It seemed more fetishistic than romantic, and the characters were all paper-thin. I found its stylistic choices grating rather than charming. It fell flat for me, sadly.

[Film Positivity @FilmPositivity]

Also I watched all the films on the 80s Obayashi boxset and would rank them as follows (most to least enjoyed): The Island Closest to Heaven, School in the Crosshairs, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, His Motorbike Her Island

[Film Positivity @FilmPositivity]

The Island Closest to Heaven was probably the most grounded of the four but also the most romantic. School in the Crosshairs was fun in an expressive, other-worldly way. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time had its moments but I couldn't buy into the story's resolution

[Film Positivity @FilmPositivity]

Really enjoyed the translation notes special feature on the @thirdwindow School in the Crosshairs blu-ray, was great getting a bit of context on the time period and production, and insight into the translation process. Shame it's not a more common feature!

[Film Positivity @FilmPositivity]

@darthsmaull1 @thirdwindow Thank you! Always nice to receive compliments from a cat!
