In a few moments my neighbor is going to exit this building's ground floor, out onto the sidewalk. According to my math, from this height, I can kill him by pissing on him.
Really sorry if this has been posted here already, but there's this guy on Youtube who does really interesting videos analyzing various aspects of cinematography, and he does an excellent breakdown of what makes Jackie Chan's choreography and filming techniques so well-executed and fun to watch compared to modern Western cinema techniques.

Absolutely worth a watch if you've got 10 minutes.

Just watched Wheels on Meals last night. Can someone explain, in the scene where the Client first offers Moby the job to find Gloria, he also gives him a sheet of paper with something tiny and (at least on the version I was watching) unreadable written on it. Moby then throws water on the paper, and says something that was translated in the subs to "more antiseptic this way" (or similar). What was written on the paper? Why does he throw water on it?

Thanks to this thread I just went on an amazon spree and bought some movies:

The Swordsman Trilogy boxset ('90s)
One-Armed Swordsman ('67)
Five Deadly Venoms ('78)
Police Story I & II set

I had already managed to talk some of my less-inclined friends into sitting down and watching the original Master Of The Flying Guillotine with me, so hopefully these will be an easier sell for a weekend marathon or something.

Oh nice! Thanks for the suggestions. Are they good movies? I don't recognize any of the titles as the usual "big name must-see" ones that usually pop up on lists and such.

Edit: Also, how does Return to the 36th Chamber compare to the original 36th Chamber?

Wait, people are saying the Blu-Rays of certain films are no good compared to their DVD releases?

My Blu-Ray copy of The 5 Deadly Venoms (this one) just arrived... did I gently caress up? :ohdear:
