The Train is so great. a WWII heist thriller where Burt Lancaster plays a French Resistance fighter who has to outwit a nazi plot to steal a train full of priceless French art. felt like a precursor to both Die Hard and Thief.

Watch if you wish of course, but anyone watching should know about this background... as should fans of Wong's work in general.
The fact that the person accusing him of exploitation has a degenerative disease makes this whole story especially gruesome and upsetting. Truly repulsive behavior.

My aunt who famously can’t cook tried to make a pumpkin pie. She didn’t know what cloves were, so she put garlic cloves in it. Whole.

2025's Biggest Horror Trend Is A Regressive Step Backward
With two of the biggest horror movies of the year, the "hagsploitation" genre made a big comeback. But is it the one we wanted?
