I'm so glad that these movies got restored. They're excellent and deserve to be rediscovered.

Moody and jazzy and offbeat, with confident visual storytelling and wildly varying tonal/genre shifts that are handled perfectly. My kind of shit.

Yup. A lot of art is more a mixture of problem-solving through applying craft, improvisation, and play (because why bother creating if you can't let yourself enjoy the process) than having an absolute, rigid vision that you stick to.

Maiku Hama is a former delinquent punk turned private eye.

He works out of a tiny office in a movie theater (next to a projection booth), his wardrobe is impeccable, and he has the worst luck winning fights.

His mentor is Joe Shishido played by Joe Shishido.

the Magnolia-esque interconnecting non-linear approach would have worked better if the story explored more of the interiority of the characters

but instead it mostly got used as a tool to withhold information and push away the overt horror elements as long as possible

watched Weapons as my first catch-up horror watch of the season

mixed feelings on this one, mostly regarding story structure

they're mostly just kinda mid murder mysteries with atrocious dubbing, but occasionally you get a scene that's lit and shot really cool

love it when the bloodshed is heroic
