Speaking of Lady Vengeance, here’s my ding dang review.
Also, everyone pour your booze out on the cold concrete, unless you’re not drinking any (pussy). Machiko Soga AKA Bandora AKA Rita Repulsa died on May 7th of pancreatic cancer. Who will make my “monster” grow now?
No one should be opposed to corny or trashy entertainment. There’s something suspect about you if you can’t enjoy fun garbage.
If I had to choose between trusting someone that immersed themself only in the most gutter of film, the most foul concoctions of creativity, and someone that refused to acknowledge it at all, I’d hand a gun to the former and have them shoot the latter.
On that note, I was thinking about starting some semi-regular features here at The Joseph Luster Report. I almost kicked off The Friday Man Movie (tentative title, of course) with Mission: Impossible III, but I ended up going to sleep around noon on Friday and waking up at 6:30pm.
God of War ate me alive that night and almost caved my skull in near the end. Those fucking Cerebus dogs! I hate them with the passion of a thousand Akshay Kumar flicks†. If you don’t kill the puppies within a minute or so they turn into full-blown Cerebuses…es…Cerebusi? Garybusey?
Today was a complete Chan-wook Park day, I guess. After checking out Tartan’s screener for Lady Vengeance, I went over to Bryan’s and made him finally watch the Korean disc of Old Boy I let him borrow a long time ago. Out of all three, Old Boy is still my favorite. It’s not as harsh and depressing as Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance. In fact, it seems to sit appropriately between the other two as far as emotional levels of revenge go. Although, if we’re talking temperature of vengeance between Lady and Mister, I can’t decide which is the hot handle and which is the cold.
† Okay, that statement sounded sort of ambiguous. I can not overstate how awesome Akshay Kumar is.
Here’s a special early morning edition of everyone’s favorite high-class online magazine!
It’s 7:30 in the morning in the fine city of Louisville, Kentucky and this intrepid reporter has been hard at work playing TV games throughout the night. But why would Sir Coco forego sleeping in favor of digital derring-dos?
It’s like asking “What if Dr. Doom had become a hero?” or “What if The Watcher stopped watching?” in that the answer may surprise you! You’d be a well-informed reader if I didn’t have to tell you that this is Derby weekend here in “The ‘Ville.” It’s times when others are the busiest that help remind me that I have no need for a normal sleeping schedule at the moment.
TV games ahoy! Our favorite dandy is working hard on God of War as you read this, thrashing nogoodniks from Mount Olympus to the briney gates of Poseidon’s keep.
Or is he?
Stay tuned for the uproarious conclusion!
Operation: Play Onimusha 2 has begun. Joseph is now only “a lot of” years behind the trends and popular outfits. Yet, he still remains a respectable dandy.
I noticed that Keita Amemiya did the character designs in this one. This, of course, made me enjoy the cock-eyed lizard men and spider-legged warriors that much more. The game is a great continuation aside ftom the awful gift-giving mechanic in employing the aid of other characters.
Utada Hikaru’s videos still make me wonder why I haven’t seen Casshern yet. Even if it’s a mess, it must look cool. I love Kazuaki Kiriya’s visual style. I really love his video for Utada’s “Keep Tryin'” single, as posted below.
Here are some entertainment quickies:
We finally got around to wrapping up season two of Battlestar Galactica, and I can effectively say that the second season is a shadow of what the first achieved in every way. I don’t even know where to start without taking up a lot of space, so I won’t. At this point, convincing me that it’s “The smartest show on TV” would be like telling a paraplegic to “just start walking, pussy.” Oh well, whatever. It was a fun show for the most part.
Thief, which is incidentally one of television’s current crop of amazing shows that justifies my being so harsh on BSG, already had its season finale tonight but we missed it. I hope a lot of people are watching this show. It’s worth it just to see Andre Brauer act in it.
I am getting this movie as we speak. Don’t worry, little Johnny boy, we’ll get some warm milk and a big blanket and watch this bad mofo together.
WHAT’S THAT, EARTH MAN? YOU WANT MORE?
I “solved” Kingdom Hearts II tonight. This is the best sequel in recent memory. It’s such a vast improvement over the first and as such stands as one of the PS2’s finest games. The last battle was epic in the way that reminded me of those rad pompous bosses in old games like Shinobi that would just sit in a throne and fight you.
Of course, that feature only rang true for one or two of the ba-goddamn-zillion forms the final boss assumed.
I only got 90% completion, but I didn’t think the mostly lame minigames were worth trudging through just to see the “secret ending,” so I peeped it on YouTube. If you don’t ever plan on bothering with KHII, you should check out this video, if not just to see some brief and rad CG.
