She was born on December 8th, 1980, at 10:50 PM. The exact time Mark David Chapman killed John Lennon. For me, though, that’s just a coincidence. All I care about is that she was born at that exact moment. Her name: Lily Chou-Chou. Genius. Or rather, genesis. The Ether personified.

How was Drive My Car?

It’s a cool film. Very minimal and melancholy too but the emotion isn’t surface level, it’s really reserved and mundane. If you like slow films and you’re patient, the 3hrs passes by.

Burning is my favourite Murakami story adaptation so far, but this holds its own. Gotta rewatch Drive My Car and finish Wheel Of Fortune And Fantasy as well (same director 🚗).

Btw the screener is a screen recording and in scenes that have loud background noise, you can hear mic feedback from the computer. It’s not too overbearing and the rest of the audio is fine.

burning is a murakami adaptation? and drive my car??

i just got into murakami this year so this has me super hyped

Imma try to catch it at my local museum. Love Murakami and I really enjoyed Burning.

bumping thread, this guy uploaded 28 chang cheh directed shaw brothers kung fu movies to google drive free for download. hard to find some of these in good quality, worth checking out if you like old kung-fu movies or think you might

heres a similar twitter thread but with a bunch of tsui hark movies on google drive, some hard to find classics here for sure

i've seen more of these so i can say Peking Opera blues, the blade, love and death in saigon are all PHENOMENAL movies
