Spoc @spoctavius.bsky.social · 12/10/2026The contrast with Mujica is so fun, the evil codependent gothic band is a lifeline and millsage is just this 000
Spoc @spoctavius.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Half of filmmaking is just a matter of finding a cool rooftop to film on 040
Spoc @spoctavius.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Song Kang-ho once again plays The Guy of All Time, in full context this is one of the funniest cuts I've seen in a while 000
Spoc @spoctavius.bsky.social · 11/10/2026When a Kamen Rider show gets into 30s and introduces a rival Ichigo type to challenge the hero 👍👍 031
Spoc @spoctavius.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Would have jumped on this far sooner, had I known this is about how a relationship literally founded on love of Mamoru Oshii cannot bloom under capitalism. Targeted personal attack. Profoundly evil film. 230
Spoc @spoctavius.bsky.social · 09/10/2026#NowSeated rewatch actually, jumped the gun on it because I didn't know when or even if it's getting a proper release here, but now I'm fulfilling my civic duty as a refnhead 050
Spoc @spoctavius.bsky.social · 08/10/2026It's a pretty cool little movie too, he makes a snack out of the contradictions of idol experience, communal collaboration and cutthroat competition, stifling group dynamics and individualism 020
Spoc @spoctavius.bsky.social · 08/10/2026They're putting millsage into a Kiyoshi Kurosawa warehouse 141
Spoc @spoctavius.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Familial fractures and the gaping void, disconnect and arrested development they leave behind. Drawing connection between abandoned countryside and alienation of its characters in slow observational mode, it reminded me of early Kore-eda and Kawase quite a lot. Very cool, very quiet, very green. 020
Spoc @spoctavius.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Needed a bit of a reset after that, back to Imaizumi Zone. This one was the best kind of "from nowhere to nowhere" movie, a cold but not biting shower of dead end, fundamentally misaligned relationships. Sairi Ito shows up midway through to add another piece to the love triangle; Quruli references 👍 000
Spoc @spoctavius.bsky.social · 02/10/2026What the blurp omits that said journey involves stealing his late sister's body with his friends and hauling her along in a passerger's seat of a beaten up old car. A worthy addition to venerable genre of "dumb shit happening, everyone is mentally ill and incredibly stylish", I had a blast 000
Spoc @spoctavius.bsky.social · 01/10/2026A cold, sharp, sad examination of broken vulnerable people slipping, exactly what you come to Hiroki for. A second work recently about grooming, grief, confronting adulthood, individuality, yearning and collaborative creative process, funny how they came from such drastically different places 100
Spoc @spoctavius.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Receiving news that there is a serious age gap discourse about them 100
Spoc @spoctavius.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Wow I hope you're not lying about your condition and don't intend to drag unsuspecting teenage girls along on your literal death spiral that will traumatize them for life haha that would be crazy 000

Spoc @spoctavius.bsky.social · 23/09/2026There are only two anime in the world, they came out in 1979, and everything is downstream of that 050
Spoc @spoctavius.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Veering into later Aoyama and I'm pleasantly surprised, the typical voyeuristic premise gives way to something more slippery, offbeat and novelistic, a studious exploration of stunted relationships, interpersonal distance and emotional unavailability, while retaining lighter sensibility all the same 010
Spoc @spoctavius.bsky.social · 20/09/2026My God, My God, Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me? (2005) dir. Shinji Aoyama 020
Spoc @spoctavius.bsky.social · 19/09/2026#NowSeated I hope Chris Redfield shows up in the last five minutes for no reason, as a bit 130
Spoc @spoctavius.bsky.social · 19/09/2026They're dropping Sai on western Netflix out of nowhere HUGE I wonder if it includes the feature film recut 0193
Spoc @spoctavius.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Ended with The Youth Killer, the other of Hasegawa's two lone features, pretty good dose of provocative exhausting oedipal nihilism that comparatively falters a bit through no real fault of its own by covering a well trod ground while there's not nearly as many movies like The Man Who Stole The Sun 030
Spoc @spoctavius.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Opening up Youtube in the morning to see all of Kamen Rider Zeztz dumped in the subscription feed 031

Spoc @spoctavius.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Kiryu and the boys walking to Millennium Tower at the end of a Yakuza game 000
Spoc @spoctavius.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Pretty immersive portrait of a kind of static somnambulist lukewarm unhappiness in a desolate world. Got a bit Aoyamaish, which I really liked. Baby Masaki Suda shows up as a Hawaiian shirt wearing wannabe director neet, playing guys who are just slightly off has clearly always been his forte. 100
