Sunday Kino Night, 8PM EST: Japanese samurai revenge-horror Demons (1971) and Zillennial coming-of-age comedy Didi (2024)! (CWs inside)

IMPORTANT NOTE: please use a VPN whenever visiting Hextube, or anywhere else on the internet, for that matter. Protect your privacy. For this Sunday Kino Night, ‘tis the season for horror, so first up is Demons (1971), a Japanese revenge tale centering on an 18th-century exiled samurai who gathers 100 ryo to buy his way back into the good graces of his clan. Unfortunately, he’s also infatuated with a geisha who is about to be sold to another man to pay off her debts, which just so happen to total 100 ryo. Turns out she’s actually in leagues with the other guy, and they make off with his money. Cue total jokerfication as the samurai goes on a rampage of revenge. This is considered one of the best films of renowned auteur Toshio Matsumoto, who is otherwise best-known for Funeral Parade of Roses (1969), which we have not yet watched. Currently ranked #12 on Letterboxd’s [Top 250 horror films of all time](https://letterboxd.com/darrencb/list/letterboxds-top-250-horror-films/). Next is Didi (2024), a coming-of-age comedy about a 13-year-old Taiwanese-American boy in 2008, who is just hitting puberty and needs to learn how to navigate life, be cool, and talk to girls. Social awkwardness ensues. Pretty much mid90s (2019) but for Zillennials. A lot of critical acclaim for this one, and it’s getting some awards buzz, so let’s check it out. It is the debut feature of director Sean Wang, who was born in 1994, so I suspect it’s at least partially autobiographical. We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here: https://live.hexbear.net/c/movies Be there, comrades! # Letterboxd: - Demons: https://letterboxd.com/film/demons-1971/ - Didi: https://letterboxd.com/film/didi-2024/ # Doesthedogdie.com links: - Demons: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0165473/parentalguide/?ref_=tt_stry_pg - Didu: https://www.doesthedogdie.com/media/1073369 # CWs for Demons: - Blood and gore. - Death of child. - Child abuse. - Dead baby. - Throat mutilation. - Disembowelment. - Dismemberment. - Decapitation. - Panic attacks. - Stabbing. - Torture. # CWs for Didi: - Dead animal. - Vomiting. - Cancer. - Shaky cam. - Profanity. - Bullying. # Links to movies: - Demons: https://tankie.tube/w/tr6325qGT5YkANxdh5A75e - Didi: https://tankie.tube/w/ij4yHXfDECv5TJ141pG6yR

IMPORTANT NOTE: please use a VPN whenever visiting Hextube, or anywhere else on the internet, for that matter. Protect your privacy. For this Friday Movie Night, the people have demanded more horror. ‘Tis the season, so we will watch I Saw the Devil (2010), which centers on a Korean serial killer who murders for fun. A detective decides to track him down and capture him, and a cat-and-mouse game ensues between the two. Expect a whole lot of blood and gore as the film shows the exploits of its resident sicko. This is the best-known and best-regarded film of Korean director Kim Jee-woon, who also did A Tale of Two Sisters (2003), which we have not watched. Currently ranked #36 on Letterboxd’s [Top 250 horror films of all time](https://letterboxd.com/darrencb/list/letterboxds-top-250-horror-films/). After that is Sing Sing (2024), a prison drama about an African-American man who is imprisoned for a crime he did not commit. While he stews in confinement, he joins the prison’s theatre group and it becomes his lifeline amidst the inhumane conditions of the Amerikkkan “justice” system. Theatre kids really are everywhere these days. This is by far the most popular and best-regarded film of director Greg Kwedar to date. Currently ranked #172 on Letterboxd’s [Top 250 films of all time](https://letterboxd.com/film/sing-sing-2023/).

Special Thursday Cinema Night, 8PM EST: Japanese dudes-rock chanbara saga Goyokin (1969) and sci-fi space horror Alien: Romulus (2024)! (CWs inside)

IMPORTANT NOTE: please use a VPN whenever visiting Hextube, or anywhere else on the internet, for that matter. Protect your privacy. For this Special Thursday Cinema Night, 8PM EST, there’s no special theme, just two more good flicks. First up is Goyokin (1969), a Japanese chanbara film about a ronin (a masterless samurai) who renounces his loyalties after failing to stop the massacre of a village. He plots his revenge against the perpetrators to prevent a new massacre from taking place. Dudes are gonna rock. Pretty much a cowboy movie, but with a samurai. Expect a lot of sword fights. Director is Hideo Gosha, who specialized in chanbara stuff; this is arguably his magnum opus. After that is Alien: Romulus (2024), the latest installment in the oft-retooled Alien franchise, this time from Uruguayan director Fede Alvarez, the man behind Don’t Breathe (2016). A bunch of scientists check out a spooky abandoned space ship and, surprise!, there’s a diabolical alien that implants itself into their bodies, bursts from their chests, and so on. Sounds like they pretty much remade Alien (1979). I guess we’ll find out.

For this Wednesday Super Slop Night, 8PM EST, it’s haunted-house horror Insidious (2010) and Takashi Miike’s absurdist comedy-musical The Happiness of the Katakuris (2001)! (CWs inside)

IMPORTANT NOTE: please use a VPN whenever visiting Hextube, or anywhere else on the internet, for that matter. Protect your privacy. For this Wednesday Super Slop Night, the people have demanded horror, so we’ll watch a particularly popular modern horror movie: Insidious (2010). It centers on a couple who move into a spooky house and then become shocked when spooky things start happening. Demons start possessing their son and then go “boo!” a lot. I would simply move out of the house, but hey, I don’t live in a horror movie. Director is James Wan, the guy who brought us The Conjuring (2012), as well as, uhh, Aquaman (2018). A ringing endorsement. I guess it is slop night. After that, by request, is Happiness of the Katakuris (2001), an absurdist comedy-musical from exceptionally prolific Japanese auteur Takashi Miike. Surprisingly, the only other Miike we’ve watched is his video-game adaptation Yakuza (2007). This seems like a good place to start. It centers on a family that runs a guest house out in the middle of nowhere. Their guests suddenly start dying, and they have to go to increasingly ridiculous lengths to cover up each incident, including taking out others who discover the truth. Hilarity ensues as the cartoonish antics pile up. A cult classic.

Sunday Kino Night, 8PM EST: Serbian magical-realist Roma black comedy Time of the G*psies (1988) and British midlife-crisis drama The Browning Version (1951)! (CWs inside)

IMPORTANT NOTE: please use a VPN whenever visiting Hextube, or anywhere else on the internet, for that matter. Protect your privacy. For this Sunday Kino Night, first up is Time of the Gypsies (1988), a Serbian black comedy about a young Roma man who discovers he has telekinetic powers, which comes in handy in the crumbling (and increasingly neoliberalizing) hellscape that is 1980s Yugoslavia. He uses his powers in his quest to get rich quick, but the criminal underworld threatens to undo him; darkly-comic antics ensue. Director is renowned auteur Emir Kusturica, whose Black Cat White Cat (1998) and Underground (1995) we previously watched; those were both great, funny films, and this appears to be in the same vein. One of the highest-rated Serbian films on Letterboxd. Next is The Browning Version (1951), an extremely British drama about an aging professor who is forced to retire early due to a heart condition. He is at first content with his lot, only to discover that his wife is cheating on him, his students think he’s a joke, and his colleagues have secretly despised him for years. Cue midlife crisis as he tries to repair his ego and reassure himself that his life has meant something. Arguably the magnum opus of prolific director Anthony Asquith, who is otherwise best-known for Pygmalion (1938). Considered one of the best British films of the 1950s. We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here: https://live.hexbear.net/c/movies Be there, comrades! # Letterboxd: - Time of the G*psies: https://letterboxd.com/film/time-of-the-gypsies/ - The Browning Version: https://letterboxd.com/film/the-browning-version/ # Doesthedogdie.com links: - Time of the G*psies: https://www.doesthedogdie.com/media/36909 - The Browning Version: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0043362/parentalguide/?ref_=tt_stry_pg # CWs for Time of the G*psies: - Sexual assault: at approximately 61 minutes in, a woman is forced to undress and is implied to be r*ped afterward.

IMPORTANT NOTE: please use a VPN whenever visiting Hextube, or anywhere else on the internet, for that matter. Protect your privacy.

Expect a whole bunch of muscley guys doing silly poses while fighting other muscley guys. After that is Lucky and Zorba (1998), an Italian animated buddy film about a cat who agrees to a seagull mother’s dying wish to take care of her baby. He must learn how to take care of the little bird and teach it how to fly, all the while resisting his natural carnivoran instincts to eat it. This is considered the magnum opus of animator Enzo D’Alo, and arguably the best animation from Italy (though Allegro Non Troppo [1976] would be a contender there, too.) A whole generation o Italians seem to consider this a classic, so let’s check it out.

Friday Movie Night, 8PM EST: Mike Leigh’s bougie-hell British family drama Another Year (2010) and Irish rap-musical-comedy Kneecap (2024)! (CWs inside)

IMPORTANT NOTE: please use a VPN whenever visiting Hextube, or anywhere else on the internet, for that matter. Protect your privacy. For this Friday Movie Night, first up is Another Year (2010), a British slice-of-life drama from Mike Leigh, who is best-known for Naked (1993) and Secrets &n Lies (1996), neither of which we have watched. It centers on a happily-married old bougie couple whose happiness is interrupted by the incursions of their shitty family and friends, all of whom are determined to bring their drama into the couple’s lives. This is just what life is like in the UK. A lot of critical acclaim for this, and we’ve never watched any of Leigh’s stuff, so let’s check it out. After that is Kneecap (2024), the first rap musical film made entirely in the Irish language. Follow the fictionalized real-life tale of a trio of staunchly republican, working-class Belfast dudes who start a rap group to save their native tongue and decolonize their country from the Br*tish. This is the debut feature of director Rich Peppiatt, and has already been receiving some awards buzz. Currently the highest-rated Irish-language film on Letterboxd. We’ll give it a try.

Special Thursday Cinema Night, 8PM EST: Gaspar Noe’s first-person journey through the afterlife Enter the Void (2009) and Spanish found-footage horror [REC] (2007)! (CWs inside)

IMPORTANT NOTE: please use a VPN whenever visiting Hextube, or anywhere else on the internet, for that matter. Protect your privacy. For this Special Thursday Cinema Night, 8PM EST, there’s no special theme, just two more good flicks. First up is Enter the Void (2009), a psychedelic melodrama-art-thriller about a drugn dealer who is shot dead by the police, after which he goes on a strange journey through the afterlife, taking him through the seedy Tokyo underworld. Its gimmick is that it is shot entirely from the POV of the protagonist, i.e., a first-person view, in video-game parlance. Director is Gaspar Noe (the same guy behind Climax [2018]), so expect a whole lot of sex, drugs, and violence along the way. Looks neat; let’s check it out. After that is REC (2007), a Spanish found-footage horror film centering on a film crew that follows some firefighters into what looks like a routine job in an apartment building, only for the building to be sealed off with everyone still inside as a strange disease spreads among them. Things go from bad to worse from there. It is the best-known and best-regarded work of director duo Jaume Balaguero and Paco Plaza. This is considered one of the better films of its ilk, so we’ll give it a whirl.

For this Wednesday Super Slop Night, 8PM EST, it’s courtroom-drama/musical Joker: Folie a Deux (2024) and Hong Kong action-comedy Pedicab Driver (1989)! (CWs inside)

IMPORTANT NOTE: please use a VPN whenever visiting Hextube, or anywhere else on the internet, for that matter. Protect your privacy. For this Wednesday Super Slop Night, first up is the long-awaited Joker: Folie a Deux, which is currently bombing spectacularly at the box office. What if they made a sequel to Joker (2019) that consisted almost entirely of courtroom drama and musical numbers featuring Lady Gaga? Sounds pretty neat to me, but apparently, general audiences do not agree. We’ll decide for ourselves. After that is Pedicab Driver (1989), a Hong Kong action comedy about two pedicab drivers in Macau who must work together to save their love interests (one a baker, and the other a prostitute) from their evil bosses. A whole lot of fighting and comic antics ensue as they start to attract the attention of the criminal underworld. Considered one of the best works of Sammo Hung, who both directs and stars.

Saturday Anime Night, 8PM EST: Revolutionary Girl Utena eps. 37 to 39 (1997), finale movie Adolescence of Utena (1999) and French comic adaptation/biopic Little Nicholas (2022)! (CWs inside)

IMPORTANT NOTE: please use a VPN whenever visiting Hextube, or anywhere else on the internet, for that matter. Protect your privacy. For this edition of Saturday Anime Night, the people demanded more magical girls, and so, we’re going to continue with what is arguably the most acclaimed magical-girl anime of all time, Revoutionary Girl Utena (1997). Think Sailor Moon, but a bit more highbrow, and a bit more gay. Episodes 37 through 39 tonight, followed by the finale movie, Adolescence of Utena (1999). Yep, we’ve reached the end. After that is Little Nicholas: Happy as Can Be (2022), a French animated comic adaptation/biopic blend about real French cartoonist Rene Goscinny (also one of the creators of Asterix) creating a cartoon character named Little Nicholas, who then comes to life on the page and starts getting up to all sorts of mischief. Fantasy and reality begin to meld from there as the film switches between telling the author’s story and the story of Nicholas, the character. This is the best-known and best-regarded work to date of directors Amandine Fredon and Benjamin Massoubre. This looks pretty precious; let’s check it out.

IMPORTANT NOTE: please use a VPN whenever visiting Hextube, or anywhere else on the internet, for that matter. Protect your privacy. For this Friday Movie Night, first up is The Great Beauty (2013), a drama-comedy about a snobbish, pretentious Italian author’s trip through Rome following his 65th birthday, and his realization that life may contain more worth than drinking, drugs, parties, and philandering. What has he done with this life? Existential crises follow, along with some absurdism as he encounters various strange characters. This won a bunch of awards at the time, including the Academy Award for Best Picture, and it is considered one of the best Italian films of the 2010s. Looks neat; let’s watch. This is generally considered to be the best work to date of Italian auteur director Paolo Sorrentino, who is otherwise best-known for Hand of God (2021), which we have not watched. Currently ranked #202 on Letterboxd's [Top 250 films of all time](https://letterboxd.com/dave/list/official-top-250-narrative-feature-films/page/3/). After that is The Wild Robot (2024), the latest animated feature from Dreamworks. It centers on a robot who becomes stranded on a desert island; it find purpose by caring for a baby goose, and the two bond while the goose attempts to reunite with its flock. Director is Chris Sanders, the guy who helmed Lilo & Stitch (2010) and How to Train Your Dragon (2010). Critics are calling this one of Dreamworks’ best films ever, and it is already garnering award buzz. A good-quality camrip is already available, so we will watch it.

Special Thursday Cinema Night, 8PM EST: Paul Thomas Anderson’s satirical neo-noir Inherent Vice (2014) and Soviet summer-camp farce Welcome or No Trespassing (1964)! (CWs inside)

IMPORTANT NOTE: please use a VPN whenever visiting Hextube, or anywhere else on the internet, for that matter. Protect your privacy. For this Special Thursday Cinema Night, 8PM EST, there’s no special theme, just two more good flicks. First up is Inherent Vice (2014), from renowned auteur Paul Thomas Anderson, the guy behind Boogie Nights (1997), Punch-Drunk Love (2002), There Will Be Blood (2007), and The Master (2012), among others. Joaquin Phoenix stars a detective in the 1970s investigating the disappearance of his ex; things get weird from there as the plot takes a backseat to his various encounters with the strange inhabitants of southern California. Apparently it is also something of a comedy. I guess we’ll find out. After that is Welcome or No Trespassing (1964), a farce from Come and See (1985) director Elem Klimov about a group of Soviet children at a youth summer camp who decide to raise some mischief against the camp authorities, a dynamic that increasingly resembles an insurgency against an occupying force. Hilarity ensues. Reviews continually compare this to the works of Wes Anderson.

IMPORTANT NOTE: please use a VPN whenever visiting Hextube, or anywhere else on the internet, for that matter. Protect your privacy. For this Wednesday Super Slop Night, first up is Watari the Ninja Boy (1966), an adaptation of a manga about a kid ninja who infiltrates an evil clan to take out some bad guys. A whole lot of cartoonish antics follow, along with sword fights, musical numbers, and animated sequences. This is the sort of movie that seems to have been written by a ten-year-old. Looks fun; let’s check it out. After that is Death Becomes Her, a fantasy-comedy about an aging actress (Goldie Hawn) who decides to take an immortality potion as part of a plan to murder her rival (Meryl Streep) and take back her ex-fiance (Bruce Willis). Unfortunately, the potion doesn’t quite work as planned, and things spiral out of control from there. Hilarity ensues. Director is Robert Zemeckis, the guy behind Back to the Future (1985), Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988), and Forrest Gump (1994). As with those, this film was lauded for its groundbreaking special effects, which often cross into a comedic version of body horror.

Sunday Kino Night, 8PM EST: Nobuhiko Obayashi’s WW2 cartoonish dramedy Bound for the Fields, the Mountains, and the Seacoast (1986) and British loser-thief noir Night and the City (1950)! (CWs inside)

IMPORTANT NOTE: please use a VPN whenever visiting Hextube, or anywhere else on the internet, for that matter. Protect your privacy. For this Sunday Kino Night, first up is Bound for the Fields, the Mountains, and the Seacoast (1986), a WW2 melodrama-comedy-coming-of-age story from renowned Japanese auteur Nobuhiko Obayashi, the guy best-known for House (1977); we have also previously watched Miss Lonely (1985), His Motorbike Her Island (1986), and The Rocking Horsemen (1992). All were good, so we’re returning to the well once again. This one is about a schoolboy growing up in Japan in the late 1930s as the country falls further and further into a nationalistic frenzy. He learns that a girl he knows is abot to be sold into sex work to pay heer dad’s debts, and so, he teams up with some other kids to help her out. A whole lot of over-the-top antics follow, with Obayashi’s usual comic-bookish aesthetic. “Live-action anime” is a common refrain in reviews which are excellent across the board. Next is Night and the City (1950), a British film-noir about a destitute petty thief who can’t do anything right, and has been reduced to mooching off his girlfriend. Suddenly, he discovers an opportunity to hit the big money as a wrestling promoter, and goes all-in attempting to restore his dignity. I’m sure this will end happily. Director is Jules Dassin, who is otherwise best-known for the French heist thriller Rififi (1955), which we previously watched. This is considered one of the best noirs of the 1950s, so let’s give it a whirl.
