/atfdg/ - Actual Television & Film Discussion General (1.0)
We're going to try this a few times. There are no rules. I just hope that legitimate discussion is the main priority here, not memes and shitposting. (Please & thank you)
You can talk about almost any television show or film you like. Just refrain from discussing subjects that already have their own general.
Please refrain from posting about Star Wars here, as there is already hundreds of threads about it. (Please & thank you)
Lets see if this works. It probably won't, but it's worth a try.
I even made a logo.

Impressive dedication to memes. Hopefully you'll stop and discuss some films?
I recently watched Bone Tomahawk (pic related). I found it really unnerving. A great hybrid of genres.
Discuss?

Once again, thanks

I love Johnny To and have watched pretty much every one of his Milkyway Image films... except for his non-crime stuff, that is. Actually I've additionally watched Running on Karma, Blind Detective and Fat Choi Spirit and the kindest critique I can make is that we, in the west, laugh with completely different things than in China. They were frenetic, sure, but a guy in a bodybuilder suit running around and making references to reincarnation is just not funny for me. And it's kind of opaque to be quite honest, my family.
So, what am I missing out on? Are any of To's non-crime films (ex. his romantic comedies) worth it?
PS. I'm about to watch Turn Left, Turn Right.
>>64229661
>>64231112
I think this qualifies as a truefilm discussion. I recently tried making a Johnnie To thread two times, but no one bothered.
>>64231112
>China
Okay look, Johnnie To is the embodiment of Hong Kong cinema. He's no chinese dog.
>>64231112

Not related to any film in particular, but has anyone here succeeded in playing a Region 2 Blu-Ray in America? I want to watch pic related but it was only released for playback in Region 2.
I heard of tricks you can do with your remote to make it play. I also heard you can put it in your computer and burn the contents to a Region A disc. I'm actually considering torrenting it if I can't find another way. Thank you all.
>>64230431
I hated Patrick Wilson before I saw this because of how badly Insidious sat with me. Very good movie. Four characters that appeal to me in different ways trekking across stretches of land in the 1890s or so.
The one thing I didn't like was Patrick's character's wife's reaction to Kurt mentioning they left him a trail to find the cave. She called them idiots. You have 2 lawmen who feel it is their duty to protect you and everyone in your small town, a man who has a vendetta with Indians and feels responsible for dragging you into this, and your loving husband who isn't going to stop until you're safe, and you just call them idiots? The whole journey's purpose was to save her. It just felt extremely ungrateful. Otherwise, incredibly enjoyable movie.
>>64231303
I've watched more than 20 last summer, but there are few seeders and the quality is not that great. Get them while you can.

Digital downloads have no geoblock, bro
thread sucks post bitches
I'll try here since you guys seem to be decent chaps - any of you watched Catch Me Daddy? Would be interested in seeing what you guys think about it, I've discussed it with a friend but he wasn't really keen on giving his opinion about it. I surmised he didn't really enjoy the direction - I think having watched A Spell to Ward Off the Darkness the day before spoiled it for him.
I personally loved the movie, felt that the photography was astounding and appropriate to the story, which in itself was kind of amazing. The second half of the movie was a better latter-Refn, in every respect. Camerawork was a it on the nondescript side, though.
Also, gearing up to watch the teen Apocalypse Trilogy by Araki, any of you have seen it? how was it?
>>64231567
Thanks. I think this is the least complicated way. A shame everyone puts DRM now on their digital copies.
>>64231473
Sorry I can't help you there
>>64231479
She believed that if her husband came to their rescue he would die due to his broken leg. And she knew he would never give up until he found her.
So them leaving the trail for him to follow, to her, was idiotic as they had just sentenced him to death.
>>64231534
Sorry if I upset you
>>64231652
There are no rules, but I would prefer it if you don't.
>>64231704
Sounds interesting, I'll give it a watch.
I haven't seen the Apocalypse Trilogy by Araki.
Opinions on Sion Sono's work? Recently just started watching his films:
> Suicide Club 6/10
> Love Exposure 9.5/10
> Why Don't You Play In Hell? 8/10
> Tokyo Tribe 7/10
What of his should I watch next?
Also made a post in /tv/ a month ago to get a list of essential Japanese cinema, only a couple of films in but so far Seven Samurai and Harakiri are god-tier.

I personally wouldn't waste money on foreign blurays unless they're out-of-print or rare. Something like Phoenix is so mainstream there's literally no reason for it.it's also a shit film but that's a matter of personal taste
>>64229661
Good try.
First mistake: separate into AFDG and ATVDG.
Second mistake: by acknowledging that you are "just starting this up to see what happens" you are "trying" something new. "Trying is gay" is the law of the land. So tomorrow when you take my first bit of advice, save the rules about memes and shitposting, and make it seem like an established general. That way, when a mouth breather spots your nice logo (ur gonna need new ones for each respective thread) on the catalogue, he doesn't think "gee what a great opportunity to post a meme about Star Wars" he thinks "I must've never noticed this general since I've only been here for 3 weeks"
Third mistake: always give the general thread an edition
I look forward to trying to post in your thread tomorrow, and I really think it could work. Cheers my child

He's pretty cool, as far as I can tell, but then again I've seen only Suicide Club (which I guess you could call a 7.5/10 maybe) and half of Noriko no Shokutaku or something like that. Got Cold Fish ready to go though, seems to look good on paper.
Also, essential "unconventional" Japaneserie I'd rec you, ignore if you already know them:
Shinya Tsukamoto - Tetsuo (I/II/III) / Nightmare Detective / A Snake of June
Takashi Miike - Gozu / Ichi the Killer
Sogo Ishii - Burst City / Electric Dragon 80.000v (really do watch at least this one, it's one of the greatest movies ever to be made and I'm not in any way overhyping it)
The guy who did Ghost in the Shell - Tenshi no Tamago
>>64232035
>he's low test
>>64231969
I didn't see it, so it could be shit and I wouldn't know it. What didn't you like about it?
>>64232040
(I know most of these are pretty well known, but i don't really trust people on /tv/ to go beyond the most basic of namedropping when it comes to recs, so I try and rectify at least a part of that)
>>64232040
Fuck off weebcuck
>>>/jp/
>>64232040

Solid advice. Thank you.
I'll go with AFDG. No need for TV at the moment.
>>64232040
>Electric Dragon 80.000v
they don't make em like this anymore. Japanese Extreme Cinema practically evaporated in the digital era. it's a shame.
reddit isn't even trying to hide it anymore
>>64231807
I read that Taste of Cinema article on unrequited love, but I hesitate to offer 4 hours of my life on a japanese independent film. Am I wrong, senpais?
Is this Reddit?
>>64231807
>>64232240
To clarify, Love exposure was included on that list of 15 films on unrequited love.
>>64232240
It's incredibly enjoyable and just straight up Sono bizarre and ridiculous. Easily his magnum opus (from what I've seen and heard of his other films).
What did you guys think of this movie?
>>64232242
Is this MEMES? Am I John Wayne?
>>64232078
I don't know if you're familiar with Petzold but all his films feel like short films that are extended to fulfil a feature length runtime. They're really thin constructions, usually thrillers, usually with a twist at the end, that are just meh once you're over and done with them.
The only thing worth watching for is Barbara Hoss. You still might enjoy it though, idk.
>>64232134
Nice to see you've been given a cool list - last time I tried it could as well been a series of links to kurosawa's discography. Don't mind if I copy it.
How did you like Body Hammer? I think it was probably the funniest and most accomplished movie of the trilogy, even if a couple orders of magnitude below the first.
>>64232209
Word. Think I'll get a few friends one of these evenings to jam out Shock DNA into infinity.
If you haven't seen it yet, do watch Turbo Kid - it's completely different but I can't shake the feeling they're trying to do kind of the same thing
Which had the better S2: Fargo or Tyrant?
>>64232442
Rick and Morty XD
>>64232393
I enjoyed the sequels, but they both pale in comparison to the first I think. Bullet Man had a great theme song by NIN though. Have you checked out any other Jap Cyberpunk? 964 Pinocchio is crazy.
>>64232495
For comedy, I suppose that's the best answer, but a better question: When did FX start to reach for the throne when making dramas?
>>64232393
I haven't seen Turbo Kid but it looks like a lesser version of Hobo With A Shotgun, which I love.
>>64232545
>For comedy, I suppose that's the best answer

WHO HI TEST HERE?
>>64232148
Not that guy, but it seems like today "Japanese edition" would've been good. But what ends up happening anyway is that you put the edition of the thread on what the last thread was talking about and it basically recycles itself
>>64232597
Is this high test?

Got it on my hard drive along with Rubber Lover, but I think I got a russian redub. They're hard as fuck to get your hands on - Tsukamoto earliest stuff, too. Think I'll have to buy phisical copies, or ask a prof at my UNI. She translates Tsukamoto's movies in Italian, and supposedly got copies of his Kaiju Theatre stuff from the original masters in his house. There might be something worthwhile in there.
>>64232579
Do watch it, it's great - coincidentially, I just got Hobo with a Shotgun. I'll watch it with the gf later.
>>64232749

Not familiar at all. Browsing /tv/ made me realise I haven't seen shit when it comes to films. I'll think about it. Thanks again for your help.
Please don't do this... Generals have ruined other boards beyond repair. /tv/ may be in the shitter right now because of Star Wars but please...

Meant to say, Kaiju Theatre and earlier films

It's the actual sound he makes when he uses his good spinning trick
but for realsies, that silly sound effect is canon what the sheev spin sounds like.

No, I wish. Can't find it anywhere. Tokyo Fist is incredible, btw. Arguably his best next to the first Tetsuo.

>>64233671
Ah fuck off you wanker. Who gives a shit about tripfags, it's about having a decent thread once in a while. Go now, back to your shitposting - you can joke about it being a containment thread for redditors, I'm sure you'll be a riot in the normie hate general
What's the most obscure shit you've ever seen? Doesn't have to be prententious or even good, just maybe a bit above the "me cousin got a camera for his birthday and shat a low budget intimist epic"
For me, I think it has gotta be NAILS, (Gvozdi, otherwise it's hard to find). Shitty Russian gore movie, but weirdly catartic to watch. Also the best use of no-budget computer graphics I've ever seen. Director is Iskanov, of Philosophy of a Knife fame.
