That tradition is still alive in Tainan.
Cool. The paintings are too realistic though. 
up to 78 decibels open window and I think it goes louder sometimes
Movie about Iron Maiden. I really hope it comes to Taiwan, but I kind of doubt it.
If it did, theyâd better show it at 2 minutes to midnight
Watching this German film right now. Just to my liking, fast and different. 
This is what in Germany is called a âKultfilmâ (a film with a cult-like following?). I love it. It has so many elements that make a film great in my view: suspence, comedy, action, great music, surprising elements, great camera angles, and likeable actors. Also Berlin. A strong âIch fĂźhl mich gut, ich steh auf Berlinâ vibe.
Sad state of affairs in Hollywoo when the best movie Iâve seen this year (if the standard is âwill I remember it a week later?â) is a rewatch of Warner Brothers pre-Code Baby Face (1933).
Dark dark dark. Very, very funny. Peak Stanwyck. Thereâs some Nietzsche quotes in the screenplay, and John Wayne has a two-second cameo.
Havenât seen âRun, Lola, Runâ in about two decades but remember it was great and very different for its time. Maybe time for a rewatch.
I rarely watch old classics, but when I do I like them, especially Bogart flicks.
Iâve recently gotten into older films after writing them off for a long time⌠but saw â12 Angry Menâ and âHigh Noonâ recently and both immediately secured spots in my top hundred favorite movies.
I havenât seen âHigh Noonâ yet, but when I finally saw â12 Angry Menâ a couple of years ago, I thought it was incredible. Between that and âThe Lady Eveâ, hmm, maybe this Henry Fonda guy has a potential Hollywood career.
I saw both of these in an undergrad film class. There was also the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari., Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Apocalypse Now Redux, and thatâs all I can rememberâŚ
I saw a lot of Ingmar Bergman in my undergrad film class which I really should revisit. Great movies. I also saw âA Clockwork Orangeâ⌠if my professor showed that nowadays Iâm pretty sure some fourth-wave feminist student would try to get him âcancelled.â
The Lady Eve is probably my favorite Preston Sturges movie, also peak Stanwyck.
Sturgesâ movies are all worth watching at least once. He has quite a bio. In the late 19th century his mother (Mary Estelle Dempsey, of Quebec) dragged his two-year-old self to Paris so she could divorce his father, a traveling salesman in Chicago, and ârevive her singing career.â She also befriended Isadora Duncan (she wrote a bio of Duncan), had a âromantic affairâ with Aleister Crowley (she collaborated on Magick), changed her name to Mary Desti, and as Mary DâEsti promptly married a wealthy American stockbroker when they returned to the US. Itâs all there in his movies.
Sturges was prickly, defensive, the first American screenwriter to direct films, and his movies are all very funny.
Good Luck, Have Fun, Donât Die
What the hell was this? 6/10.
Coup De Chance
Paris based typical Woody Allen rom-com with nice scenery and a very unexpected twist. French language. 6/10.
Mike and Nick and Nick and Alice. Fun enough. 4/10.
Melania 2/10.
She starts talking about her interests like philanthropy but the whole movie is her putting on clothes, doing things around the house, and being the presidents wife. Nothing about her contributions to getting to where she is.
