katsuhiko looks like such a well-behaved young man

and yet. and yet this man is openly fueled by desire. craves the belt, craves retribution, craves respect, craves cheers, craves a fight. im so excited to see how all this continues

you look at hiromu vs amakusa II and its not just about a heel megastar invading the beloved, faltering, noah junior division and a long time vet stepping in to have his moment in the sun, it becomes a fulcrum of beliefs about the (im)permanence of the immaterial essence of the self. wrestling rocks

Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2024).
incoherent in tone. shallow in its politics. surf dracula disease. detestably gamified espionage. worse than anything you could compare it to.

Plus One (2019).
they had this at the libabby. fun chemistry. i did like the dad and his friends but man they shoulda made this from Alice's perspective. not a standout in the heterosexual propaganda genre but sweet enough.

Blowback Season 5.
if we want justice in our world, it wont come from the UN, it wont come from the US.

Horses (2025).
classic anti-fascist allegory, i enjoyed? my time with it. for how much the promotional material stresses obedience and complicity, its interesting that so many of the daily, demeaning tasks are elided in gameplay. Also how the staccato of the animations distanced me from some horror

Dracula: Dead and Loving It.
child me wouldve thought i was evil for liking the vampires in this. Renfield is the funniest character in this movie, its simply Good Television to see a brit be degraded. i wish the women got to do more comedy

Murder in Three Acts (1986).
racist movie, Poirot is a transphobic sexist ass here too. the investigation is muddled. i wish all the older women had gotten more scenes. tony curtis made the most out of his killer reveal

i adore how current kaito has nuanced himself. how he puts himself on the back foot, keeps himself hungry and on the hunt while also using all his shining stardom/wrestle genius/ego and condescension to elevate the up and comers. that guy rules. he rocks. its so cool to watch him evolve and adapt

kaito solidified a grander dream to strive for after meeting kenoh here, once more.
Also big thoughts on how this year had so many high profile losses for him and theyve All felt like they immanetized him as the Ace more intensely than any of his long reigns have

and then not only do we have kaito pushing himself in the ring -- endurance-, strength-, acting-wise -- but also calling out specifically that he wants to surpass kenoh, even if itll take 5 to 10 years to do it. even if it will take that long for noah to get into the tokyo dome

yeeeeeeeeah, this match had the declaration that this would be their last ever match hanging over it, so the worry of kenoh planning to retire or kaito dissatisfied with noah. but his loss here and the excited invitation for them to do this again next year really put that to rest

english comms talked about it even?? they let the people know about young kaitos bare ass ahead of time

would love to hear your thoughts whenever you wanna circle back around

forever i will think about shio constantly refusing the water katsu offered him during his draw against kenoh bc he thought such a moment of weakness would make him lose

!!!!!!!!!!! whats going oan

Anatomie d'une chute.
lovely stuff. failing marriage serious cinema tempered by a defense attorney whos quietly in love with his client. interesting ideas abt the reversal of male/female roles in a het relationship. a very white movie in its perspective on foreignness + language but it does hit
