I have a VHS of a world chess festival (1980s) that uses computers to recreate each match after and shows it to soothing music. That's a bit like this.

So like, how had I let this one go so long? Love me some dang giant robot movies. It's kind of embarrassing how long I slept on this.

Yeah alright. Everyone should see this. It's cool as heck.

God. This was my fourth viewing.

I put some weight on this being an absolute gem.

Sometimes I watch new movies!

Letterboxd uses a font called Abril. Apparently.

The HerzogHole continues.

This film. Man. This film did a lot of very cool things with cinematography. Shame about the weird uh… y’know.

I watched it for the articles, I swear.

I aged in real time watching this

I feel like we weren’t supposed to ever see this.

Jan Hammer nails this one.

The Ireland filter in full effect.

What does God need with a spaceship? Or at least $600?

A delicious watch

There was one monk in Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses doing a 52 kilometre spiritual trek around a holy mountain.

I wish more people made surfing / crime movies. I feel it's an under-represented genre these days.

So here's the thing, right. I don't actually make films, at all.

But if I did make films? They'd totally have a samurai.

Gerald Okamura’s second best film.

Well, now we're stuck in the Himalayas. I'm sure it'll be fine.

New Zealand Mad Max includes:
Ominous Electronic Music
Moody Electronic Music
Peaceful Electronic Music
Upbeat Rock Music
Somber Electronic Music

And Swan from The Warriors.

I legit thought Mark Wahlberg was in this for a moment before I realized he’d be like 4.

Genius. No, like. Genius.

James Bond wears an awfully large assortment of hats, alongside a massive pair of sideburns wearing only a single Donald Sutherland.

Probably one of the last great Disney films?

Hi honey! How was the rotoscoped ass farm today?

Good! Lots of asses to harvest this season!

I’m taking off the funny man hat for a second. 

I love Power Rangers. Folks know that. Genuinely a favourite of mine. I am used to their story telling “quality”, so everything below needs to be based on “I’m comparing it to previous Rangers, not cinematic masterpiece”. 

The second Power Rangers movie stunk. Absolutely stunk. 

Disted story telling. Poor editing. Boring dialogue. 

The transition from the Zeo Rangers to the Turbo Rangers was literally “we made you new Zords”.

They managed to make everything that makes Power Rangers awesome and forgot it completely.

The first battle isn’t until 71 minutes of the 99 minute film.

Sequel to The King’s Speech features less King than I would have thought.

This movie contains numerous jarring transitions from [ominous electronic music] to [flowing electronic music].

Bonus points for the greatest jacket this side of Joseph.

Americans vs Cavemen vs Tyler vs Dinosaurs vs Samurai.

Hogan vs The Airplane

Everyone vs Paper Mache

Bonus points for the Samurai having a Frazetta painting hanging in their main hall.

Do you like SOUND EFFECTS?

There are a lot of very ugly dogs in the world, and this film includes one of the ones on the uglier side of the scale.

I, too, hate dust.

This film set up Robert Trebor to star in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys.

Side note: I thought this was Soldier with Kurt Russell. Ah well.

I hope we get a good Corporate Hymn.

Oh no. Oohhhhhh noooooo.

I’ll take “On the nose films for the 2025 political landscape, Doug”

“Great! This 1975 movie features a man waving a Nazi flag to the American national anthem”

The film that ties the ACU together - the Arnie Cinematic Universe.

Never let the man with the speech impediment record your ultimatum VHS.

> Incredible soundtrack? Check.
> Stolen footage from The Man With The Golden Gun? Check.
> Incomprehensible subtitles? Check.
> Disco-fu? Check!
> A man wearing a scarf that says WRANGLER? Check.
> Absolute assault on the senses? Check.

This is an odd one. The documentary promotes itself as following several carpet companies that supply the carpets no one thinks about - hotels, casinos, that kind of stuff.

Ultimately however it meanders around and seems much more interested in one of the owners of a now defunct carpet company as he struggles to get to the Philippines to be with his girlfriend; before ing what it's supposed to be talking about and does a jarring switch to two minutes of talking about carpet companies, or rocks.

Not recommended. Well shot, but the cover doesn't the interior.

Still the best docudrama of all time.

A perfectly serviceable post-apocalyptic b-tier film absolutely ruined by the most inappropriate and annoying orchestral score imaginable.

At least we had Sid Haig in it.

Dolf Lungren and Little Richard's Good Golly Miss Molly team up to take down the Russians.

We, as a species, don't deserve Godfrey Ho.
