Ever since I watched Kubi I've been watching more movies starring Takeshi and thinking about his oeuvre... Kubi, Gohatto, Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, Gonin... All movies about men and masculinity and homoeroticism and gay sex and violence. Like had anyone written anything about this. I'm sure someone has. I've never thought very seriously about Takeshi before but I'm now a bit fascinated.

tumblr won’t let me upload video of this scene no matter what I do :/

I watched GONIN for the first time in like late 2021 or early 2022, went into it expecting schlocky yakuza action film (which it is) and Tsurumi Shingo playing a sexy, abusive wakagashira (which he does.) But got completely blindsided by one of the most emotionally devastating gay tragedies in a film I have yet seen. This scene makes me want to cry every time. And then you have the aftermath where Mitsuya is struggling and failing to cope without Bandai... His revenge... Going to Iida to bring Bandai’s ashes to his mother... It’s just really good.

Spring 2023 - Week 6 in Review

Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. We’re halfway through the spring season at this point, which means most new shows have lost their opening act glamor, and I can start figuring out what’s actually worth following this season. I’ll obviously be catching up on The Witch From Mercury at some point, but as for new arrivals, it seems like Tengoku Daimakyou is the one worth checking…

Nuove suonerie

Dato che non avevo altri obiettivi da raggiungere in queste feste, ho pensato di regalarmi una serie di nuove suonerie. Non ho però fatto incetta di suonerie esistenti, che già sono presenti in largo numero nel mio dispositivo, ma ho preferito crearle a partire da alcuni dei miei brani, diffusi su varie piattaforme. In questo modo, quando il cellulare squilla, dovunque mi trovi, lo riconosco,…
