This whole thing barely making it into English film circles and Criterion clearly leaning HARD on marketing to his English speaking fans feels like such a fascinatingly shitty symptom of exoticism.

I love his golden run, but the dude has fucked up and fucked up hard.
At the center is Gu Er, a little-known screenwriter who says he wrote substantial portions of the ‘Blossoms’ scripts while being paid just ¥3,000 a month—not as a writer, but as Wong Kar-Wai’s personal assistant. According to Gu, he was responsible for everything from script drafts to cooking meals, all while coping with increasingly debilitating ALS symptoms. For three years, he tried to resolve the issue quietly, facing—again, according to him—stonewalling, legal pressure, and attempts to bury his claims. His patience ran out. And then came the leaked tapes. As the days went on, the releases became significantly more damning. In the later recordings, Wong can be heard talking about setting up a bootcamp for aspiring writers, with the clear implication that he’d then steal their work. Both Wong and Qin can be heard acknowledging that Gu had written most of ‘Blossoms,’ contradicting the official credits entirely. They also make a range of sexist comments about women and about female audiences— remarks that have spread widely across Chinese platforms. The recordings depict Wong publicly belittling Gu, mocking his condition, and humiliating him for sport, even as Gu’s ALS symptoms worsened. By the time the most recent tapes were released, public opinion in China had decisively turned. Yet I don’t even think what I’ve written so far is what will get Wong canceled in China. What’s more likely to be the culprit is that the tapes also contain disparaging comments about the Chinese government and its COVID-era policies. Wong reportedly describes the CCP as ‘a greedy one-party state.’ That alone is often enough to end a filmmaker’s mainland career. Combined with the rest, it’s difficult to imagine a path forward for him in China. He is also said to have remarked that the CCP ‘has no compassion’ and ‘only knows how to reap people’s lives like crops.’ What’s bizarre is how quietly this story has landed outside China. The story has tet to tryly travel to Western countries What’s almost certain is that Wong Kar-Wai’s era in Chinese filmmaking may have just ended, and his legacy may never recover from it. Meanwhile, in the West he will continue to be mythologized as the elusive auteur behind “In the Mood for Love” and “Chungking Express.”

All these Metroid Prime 4 previews have effectively stripped away my existing anxieties about the game, and replaced them with new ones that are far more worrisome.

I cop a hardcore nostalgia buzz whenever I think about Frankenstein on DOS, Doug on the Gameboy Color, that one PS1 demo disc that had Mort the Chicken, and anything to do with The Urbz.

RIP Tatsuya Nakadai!!!!!

After you watch his Kobayashi/Kurosawa work, I recommend THE WOLVES, a yakuza drama with Leone-esque ambition about Nakadai realizing the systems of honor he's devoted his life to are a sham, usurped by coldblooded 20th century capital. Some of his very best work.

hearing reports out of Japan that Tatsuya Nakadai has passed away at 92. RIP to a legit legend.
a bearded Tatsuya Nakadai in Harakiri on the left side of the frame, seen through the ribs of a parasol closeup on an older Tatsuya Nakadai in Heat Wave, face slightly turned (almost in profile but not quite) with a colorful stained glass window behind him young evilly grinning Tatsuya Nakadai in Yojimbo, to the left of a window belching flames into the top of the frame gorgeous closeup on Tatsuya Nakadai in Sword of Doom wearing a ronin hat, a wide-brimmed hat made of bamboo with a chin strap, the light filtering through it onto his face.

I somehow always forget that Shigesato Itoi, creator of Mother/EarthBound, has been arrested numerous times for protesting against police brutality and for progressive changes to the establishment in Japan's government.

Makes that cop battle scene in the early game hit different, huh?
