Cnetizens: 'OMG TV shows in the 90's were much better than today''We were so well fed in the past'

#china #fashion #dramas #guzhuang #lmao #funny #that's jiao enjun #I like how he grits a little after he smiles at the other one 'Did you get a good look?'#he is like the ancestor of all guzhuang bl cp lmao #the actor was born in 1967 so that's why cnetizens call him jiaoshu (uncle jiao) for they grew up watching his wuxia dramas #not related but my favourite thing about cdrama is that they never dub the kissing sounds no matter how much kissing the scene has #unlike all hollywood movies or netflix dramas that make that stupid annoying smacking noise #they just have to do the cliche foley sound effect #and why the sound of locking lips is always wet?#Even in the most family-friendly films or sitcoms #they make sure to dub out that kissing sound even for a simple goodbye kiss between a couple in the morning #or a mother kiss her daughter quietly on the crown #it's really disgusting tbh

most fucked up thing in my life is the fact that the burning of the red lotus temple (1928) is lost and i can’t watch it. like i feel like everything cool that could possibly be in london after midnight (1927) already exists in the promo stills, but i absolutely need to see what could have happened in the burning of the red lotus temple (1928) to justify this image

[ID: a lobby card for the burning of the red lotus temple (1928); two men in hanfu shoot lightning at each other with their hands, while a young man and woman stand back and watch /end ID]

#plus i’ve never seen a pre-1960 wuxia film and i NEED to know what framing/staging/choreo was like back in the shanghai era #i’m imagining SIGNIFICANTLY more straightforwardly opera-inspired #but it looks like they’ve got in camera effects too. which is of course insanely cool.#ryddles

I fucking hate this post. 'no matter the genre or setting it's probably from hollywood' the rest of the world (and non-mainstream american creators) make tv and film and write stories too and you'd probably know that if you bothered to pull your head put of your ass and look outside your little mainstream bubble you fucking idiot.

#honestly yeah a lot of my film and tv is american too but this post pisses me off so bad bc it's just assuming that american #tv and movies are univsersa #'no matter the genre' show me an american wuxia film then.#actually im looking at my letterboxd and that might not even be true #even in the english language sphere the british film industry is huge ntm japan korea france mexico china india....#egypt! palestine! russia! kenya! broaden your fucking horizons! I'm in despair #oh australia. even independent us filmmakers! and films from indigenous creators!#cor.txt

Fuck, damn, Duel To The Death had the best film ninja I've ever seen. And everything just got increasingly wild and incredible from here. I barely even understand what this scene had to do with anything else that happened.

Hello! You've said more than once that you like old-ish, swashbuckling, arthurian movies. I don't usually watch them but because of your art, which has a very epic feeling to it, I've been wanting to watch these sorts of movies for the past few days. Do you have any suggestions?

shdhgh so unfortunately it's been a minute since I've thought about these movies, which means I can't remember shit even thought I know I watch these movies with enthusiasm, so at some point I will come back and make a more coherent list. for now tho!

so my favorite epics are probably Lawrence of Arabia, Ben Hur ('59), and Cleopatra ('63)

favorite swashbucklers (which I'm broadening the definition to anything with cool sword fights) Zorro films, Court Jester, I've watched a lot of films that Errol Flynn was in, honestly Musketeer adaptions fall in here a bit

close to swashbucklers, I watch a LOT of martial arts movies too, Ip Man (just the first one, the rest are. like. well. they exist), The Grandmaster, Fearless

stuff with knights: Lancelot du Lac for sure, honestly the thing that's really coming to mind is the french musical La Légende du Roi Arthur, I KNOW there are other things to add here, but all I can think about is that musical

#i tend to enjoy narratives that swing hard which is why i enjoy older epics and i also enjoy fun spectacles hence swashbucklers #but that also means that i rewatch. like. devil judge regularly.#and gravitate towards genres that embrace epic narratives. anon if you are adventurous you may enjoy wuxia narratives IMMENSELY #ask tag #anyway that 10 v 1 fight in the first ip man film. holy shit
