DeathoftheEndless
Crashing this plane... with no survivors!
Redline is pretty great. Its like the old Speed Racer cartoon on crack.
The Taste of TeaRedline is nuts. Took me ages to finall watch it but so glad I did. I recommend it to everyone now.
I am looking for movie suggestions like Kikujiro or I Wish of kids going on adventures or journeys during the summer
Lol @ Nobody Knows.The Taste of Tea
Nobody Knows
Grave of the Fireflies
Kind of what you're looking for, maybe. Warning: the bottom 2 are exceptionally sad.
Haha, sorry. I guess I misunderstood the ask. I thought you were just asking for films that follow the story from a child's perspective. It certainly is an adventure they go on! Just not the light-hearted summer kind.Yeah, Nobody Knows doesn't fit into that category at all!
As I've finally started settling into the new home, I've started unboxing my film collection and came across my Hong Kong Legends boxes.
Most of these have been boxed up for a long time now, so I've decided to make them all into untouched mkv files before the discs go bad.
Including all the audio commentary tracks and special features and such.
Damn, so much good stuff in here!
I just saw Kids Return today and really enjoyed it. I'm still ambivalent about Kitano. I enjoy some of his movies like Hana-bi (and the early of Kikujiro which I haven't finished). But, I found some others way too slow (Scene at the Sea, and Dolls) - though maybe they just weren't what I expected and the lack of dialogue let me down then. I should probably revisit those at some point.
I got sidetracked 30 min in!! That was a few months ago, I really should get back to it. Kitano was pretty funny in it.Kikujiro is fantastic, how can you not watch it in one sitting??1 Already watched Zatoichi?
Somebody recommended me The Virgin Psychics. But the trailer makes it look like a Japanese version of Porky's. Has anybody seen it? Doesn't seem Safe To Watch With Japanese Wife.

Sorry for the late reply.Several years ago I wanted to rip my whole DVD collection (~400) and put it on a hard disc for safe keeping and for playing from a network. I failed to find some good software to do it.
Which program would you or GAF use to do this in a least painful way? Needs to crack all copy protection shit and should be able to handle all region codes and ideally would make a 1:1 copy with good picture quality while using minimum hdd space AND creating a cool library with covers and the whole shebang!!1 Does something like that even exist without costing xxx$?

Oh man, Warriors Two is so soooo goooood.
If you like Sammo Hung's choreography style or just old kungfu films of that era, you are in for a treat.Really? I honestly don't know anything about this film. That's great to hear!

As I was ripping them all I came across another one that I never knew anything about, yet when I was working on extracting the subtitles and putting them back in place so they look better on screen than they do on the original DVDs, I saw a couple of scenes that had me intrigued.
I'm talking about The Peacock King.
Again, no idea if the film itself is great or not, but I love the combination of stop motion, magical powers, demons and kung fu.

what happened to KFCC cinema? used to love that site, but it seemed to have completely disappeared 5ish years ago. midnight eye closing last year was a bummer too.
It is now http://www.shaolinchamber36.com
Iirc they brought over the old archived forums too
Sorry for the late reply.
I had been looking for something just like that and it certainly wasn't easy finding the perfect fit.
I ended up buying MakeMVK since the free beta keeps expiring after a month and new versions tend to take a bit longer to come out. So I bit the bullet and purchased it.
It rips everything I've thrown at it so far besides my Bluray copy of Princess Mononoke for some reason. Guess the disk might be faulty.
It rips both Blurays and DVDs to mkv files without compressing anything, includes subtitles and chapters as well.
1970's Jackie Chan films! Which are worth watching?
Already seen and love:
- Drunken Master
- Fearless Hyena
On my watch-list:
- Snake in the Eagle's Shadow
- Snake & Crane Arts of Shaolin
- Shaolin Wooden Men
Are any of the others worth it?
Just came back from watching Train to Busan. Easily my favorite zombie movie of the past decade. The first half was stellar with the second half being a bit weaker in some regards but it does have some nice character development for the main lead. Like World War Z, the zombies are rather quick which I feel is great.
Solid 4/5
I quite enjoyed it too. An Animated prequel is in the works or so I hear.
