You know what else I really love in old ROH matches? When a dude thinks he has Joe in a corner but out of absolute nowhere Joe slams his ass into the mat and yells “DIE MOTHERFUCKER” at the top of his lungs.

Badland Hunters (Hwang-ya/황야) - Movie Review
TL;DR – While some moments hit hard, it felt like we had a world that was only ankle-deep deep, and you really wished you could dive in.
⭐⭐⭐
Rating: 3 out of 5.
Post-Credit Scene – There is no post-credit scene.Disclosure – I paid for the Netflix service that viewed this film.
Badland Hunters Review –
The thing that makes the post-apocalypse setting such an excellent world to explore is that…

Roh (2019)
Home is supposed to be a space of safety and togetherness. It’s funny how all it takes sometimes is for something to go bump in the night for you to realize just how false and hollow that sense of security truly is. Roh paints with simple brush strokes, building its anxiety and tension through extreme stillness and a sense of anticipation and dread faced by the characters. There is something lurking off in the periphery, and maybe if they don’t look it won’t come for them. Elsewhere, simple gestures do all the work to create tension. Rocks strike the side of a home or something climbs on the roof, drawing out the vulnerability of those bamboo walls. Rhythmic knocking from an unseen force draws the ear. Something as simple as a pestle rolling across the floor can be frightening in the right context. This feels evocative of The Witch with dashes of Eyes of Fire, less the psychotronic visuals which make that latter film so bonkers. While not particularly bloody, it doesn’t pull its punches in the annihilation of a family by a force of evil.
Heightening the uncertainty facing this family is a sense of extreme isolation: widowed mother Mak only meets two other adults, a hunter and Tok, a seer of sorts. Both of these strangers are treated with hostility at first, and any offers for help, oblique though they may be, are rebuffed swiftly. Mak does come to trust Tok, for she seems helpful, offering rituals to ward off the danger her children are in after a young girl follows them home and curses them before slitting her own throat. The hunter, Pemburu, is coded to be untrustworthy, interwoven with a boogeyman figure that Mak warns her children about. But as things become ever more dire, just who—if anyone—can be trusted becomes muddier and muddier. The concluding conversation between Tok and Pemburu sees a victory in the war for Evil, Tok’s reflection in a bowl of water showing her true evil nature an interesting touch. The Lord works in mysterious ways, but perhaps that’s not the ‘Him’ she refers to…
THE RULES
SIP
Someone says 'jungle'.
An animal is named.
Something is on fire.
BIG DRINK
Someone goes under the house.
Rhythmic banging begins.

Nye - The National Theatre (thoughts)
Nye at The National Theatre was so good. It was really moving, informative, and inspiring. It felt like a biopic, but went beyond a conventional biopic through impactful elements of surrealism. The surrealism (which I was concerned would detract from the very real life and real message), elevated the play in a really amazing way. The lighting design was top notch, and the use of the hospital curtains as curtains, but also pews in parliament and a freakin pub bar was really creative and smart. I think the random musical numbers and the doctor's union bit felt jarring, in particular the musical number which was one too many additional elements to the play. But overall, it was so so amazing. My partner immediately stood up at the end to give a standing ovation which is NOT THE USUAL. Last week my partner spent the whole applause ridiculing the boor prima ballerinas for taking 5 (very well deserved in MY opinion) encore bows.
Michael Sheen was AMAZING. I was super lucky and got very very close tickets and he was just.... so fantastic and his expressions and power of his voice... I've seen a lot of theatre this year, and he is truly just another level of actor. And the stamina and expertise to be able to do THAT performance EVERY NIGHT?! The whole cast was fantastic, helped by a really powerful script with some absolutely BEAUTIFUL bits of dialogue. Some of it was so clever it was became that thing where you almost have to laugh at how clever the language used is. Do you know what I mean?
Anyway, if there are still tickets available, go and see. But also, if you live in London and have any money that you would usually squirrel away to go to the cinema, check on things like Today Tix, or standing tickets at the ROH or Donmar, or 12 quid tickets at The Old Vic for cheap theatre tickets. It's really worth it

Wondering what the cinema casting will be for next season ROH? Jasmine and Cesar or Matthew for Cinderalla. And Francesca and Marci for Alice?
I'm always thinking about cinema casting 🩵
Let's see...for Alice it's gotta be either Francesca or Anna Rose. They've played the role before and never got a live stream (if Cuthbertson gets a third I'm gonna sue). Hayward/Sambè is likely to be the pair for this run, but I'm unsure about Anna Rose. Maybe William?
For Cinderella it could be anyone really, but if they're looking for the next dancer with more experience in this role, that would be Lamb (who I'd love to see). Next more probable option might be Kaneko.
For R&J I gather the two big options are either Nunez or Kaneko. Also Osipova but I'm going to pretend that isn't an option for my own sake. Kaneko certainly got a lot of praise for her Juliet two years ago. I wonder if it will be Kaneko/Bracewell or Kaneko/Muntagirov and possibly Bracewell/Nunez. I'd die for all of these pairings. If they give the third Macmillan live stream in a row to Osipova I'm gonna k word myself, I'm exhausted.

The good news is we're marginally done with outlining where everything needs to go and I have at least one ending written now. Everything else is coming along much slower than I would like due to my ongoing health issues and the returning migraines I'm dealing with. There are days I can't look at my laptop because it hurts too much. I'm still working on the demo a little bit every day, just with a notebook and pen for the moment since I can't look at screen lights for very long right now without feeling like someone has taken a lead pipe to my eye socket.
Today I got a bit of a reprieve since Archer and I went to see Titanic in the cinema for Valentine's Day and I was able to just make it until the end of the movie without having any pain. Thank goodness for Tylenol. I have an appointment with my doctor again on Tuesday to discuss how to deal with the pain when it does flare up so hopefully a solution will come my way soon.
Basically I just want you guys to know that if you don't hear from me for a while that I'm alright. I'm taking care of myself and will hopefully be able to come back to work on the demo within the next couple of weeks if not sooner (at least I hope so).
The next time you hear from me will be when I'm well enough to make progress again on RoH.
In the meantime, I hope you all are doing well!
Happy Valentine's Day,
Nik

25, 31, 43? (I am phishing for movie recs)
25. A movie you’ve seen that you think no one else’s here will have heard of?
try these
Four Lions (2010) - one of the funniest dark comedies, strong actors, very fucked up, but i dont see people talk about it often which is crazy.
Dating Amber (2020) - coming of age friendship movie between two queer kids. i watched this in cinema and it got me so good. funny and touching
Network (1976) - another dark comedy satire about media, sharp writing, sharp dialogue, still relevant even now
Fail Safe (1964) - Dr. Strangelove's less favorable sibling. similar plotline, but this one is humorless and takes a much more harrowing path. if you like slow burn bleak shit, this one can be good
A Death in the Gunj (2016) - this was recommended by clem. a slowburn character study, really soft and explosive at the end
Anatomy of a Murder (1959) - this is not a niche movie. actually pretty sure its one of the most famous courtroom movies of all time. but im recommending this since its an oldie, but such a killer
31. Favorite animated film.
Try these
Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade (1999) - gorgeous animation, intense solemn atmosphere
It's Such a Beautiful Day (2012) - experimental animation, and probably the only film that has ever really managed to evoke feelings into the visual medium this rawly. hard to explain, but if you give it try you'll see it
Also some favorite gobelins shorts
que dalle, duo, QUAND J'AI REMPLACÉ CAMILLE
gobelins animations are so good at capturing dynamic and tension in such a short amount of time
43. A film that scarred you.
so far there are two films that i really regret watching. its the world of kanako and i saw the devil. i really regret watching them. i wouldnt recommend any of these, and id say you should check for TWs if you want to check them out. imdb parents guide is where i would check for possible CWs

Is Like Water for Chocolate no longer showing in cinemas. It has completely disappear from ROH cinema section.
Some cinema websites list it as showing on 19 January but as 'tbc'. It's not on the ROH website. The whole situation seems like a shitshow.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1
thank you @perverse-idyll for the tag!
Oh dear, remembering and choosing… not my strongest points ;-) chugs coffee also, i'll cheat, sorry ^_^;; because my focus is bad, and has only gotten worse with every passing year, so i find it harder and harder to read, watch, etc. i'm also very, very bad at rereading/rewatching, in part because i don't want to be disappointed and find flaws or discover my tastes are different and what i'd invested in just isn't my thing any longer. So, some of this stuff is more about what was formative, touched me at one point, than things i'm necessarily still into.
Tagging whoever is interested! i'm uncomfortable tagging specific people because i don't want anyone to feel like they must, or alternatively that i forgot them.
Five Essentials:
- Quiet and alone time.
- An Internet connection: most of my friendships happen online, it's vital for work, and of course entertainment. Preferably on a desktop, if not then a laptop, if i must... fine, my phone.
- Silly mindless computer games. It used to be card games, these days it’s computer mah-jong.
i used to love an old… Wikipedia tells me in English it’s called a breakout game? You're throwing a ball at a wall of bricks to break them. Mine wouldn’t work when i was playing something on Winamp at the same time, back in the day on my first computer. Never found one i liked as much, sadly!
i need those games to forget myself and drop into some sort of trance-like state, though it's not working as well as it used to. (Where's that bricks game when you need it)
Some games that sound like they should fit my needs stress me out, like snake, minesweeper, Tetris.
- Fandom. Once the Internet became more widely available and my English was good enough, 20+ years ago, i jumped in and never looked back, though at some times it’s a looser connection than at others. It’s given me language knowledge, cultural knowledge, the escapism I sorely need at times, skills (especially once I started organising events), friendships <3 …
- i won’t go out without a colour-changing lil necklace - don’t think it still changes colours but who cares? i may or may not have a pile of mood jewelry. @pixelbypixelfanfic has its twin and that’s why i <3 it. LOOK AT HIM
Four films/Shows
- Star Trek:TOS, including the films. We will not mention here the more recent Treks, of which i haven't seen much anyway - in big part because i'm so done with the constant retconning of Spock's life and fam, like cmon guys, as if Sybok hadn't been more than enough already. i may or may not have invested too much into Spock as a kid, although i love them all. First fandom, even before i knew what fandom was.
- Blade Runner (haven't seen the new one), because of the music, the visuals, the nods to Metropolis and how it also shaped the scifi that came afterwards, because of That Death Scene on the roof (yes, i know the speech by heart) and also Zohra's and oh noes Pris and that time i stepped into the Bradbury Building.
- i was #shook by a couple of Mamoru Oshii films in the early aughts, Ghost in the Shell & Avalon (music by Kenji Kawai), and since it was my Japan Era there was also Jin-Roh, that film we won’t talk about (Grave of the Fireflies), the Kenshin OAV (the one about his early years. TOMOEEEE!! i even bought the music. yes, me. music. bought. look it was a long time ago), and a couple more. Neon Genesis Evangelion, of course :-b (NOT Shinji ;-)
- Back when i was in uni, there was a cinema club where they showed films in the largest auditorium. i went almost every week, and that's where i watched Buster Keaton's The General (i dragged a friend who was horrified at the idea of a B&W silent film... he laughed out loud for 75 min straight\o/ ), Some Like It Hot, but also more recent stuff like the early Tim Burtons (this was the early aughts). The seats were horribly uncomfortable, some of the films were 3h+ long boring adaptations of boring books (no, i really do not like Madame Bovary), but it helped fueled my cinema-going years. i watched Korean films in tiny independent cinemas, that kind of thing ;-)
Today, it takes a lot for me to go pay lots of money, sit still for 2/3 hours, grit my teeth while people keep noisily munching on pop corn and slurping sodas or whatever; i try to time my cinema-going for viewings with smaller audiences, but...
So, i'll go a couple of times in a year, for something that will be entertaining and silly and won't ask me to focus too much (because it's not at home, where i can easily go back, pause, take a break to absorb and process, take my time, etc) like Jurassic World or John Wick.
Three books:
- The Discworld series as a whole, for its humanity and humour and on-point commentary and… and… flails everything
- Let’s add some manga i loved: Gunnm though i think in English it's titled Alita Battle Angel or something like that (one of the sources for my What-does-human/personhood-means kink, though it probably started as early as my first encounter with good old Spock), City Hunter, Saint Seiya (don’t think about the dubbing don’t think bout the dubbing don’t think about the dubbing). Also, Please Save My Earth, though i much preferred the OAVs visually. Liked the music, too.
- i used to be a voracious reader. Then, i studied literature for reasons, and it sucked all the joy out of reading books. Took years (and, to be honest, fandom) for me to start loving reading again, but i could never go back to ~The Classics~ . i read the entire Search For Lost Time at the time i started to disconnect from reading, and i remember nothing of it. i liked it, it just left no trace in me. So now i'll read the Vorkosigan series and love it, but don't ask me to pick up some Dickens. These days, i can't.
Re music, well - i don't really listen to music. i listened to some stuff as a teenager, probably in no small part because it was expected, i even took music lesson as an adult because i wanted to know how instruments worked.
But as time goes by, i grow more and more intolerant to noise, and music is noise to me. i'll have the occasional YouTube trawl-through because i'll remember some old thing i liked way back when (liked, or more accurately that i associate with someone/thing), but often not even finish the song or piece of music.
It's like, idk, ballet or skating for me: i can recognize the hard work and artistry that goes into it; it just doesn't do anything for me, beyond maybe a bit of nostalgia (until i remember that aside from less creaky bones and stiff joints, i don't want to go back in time and i don't miss my younger years). i used to listen to some film scores, and sometimes songs used in shows i enjoyed. Haven't done that in a long while, though.
Now, if i want to shut out the world when i'm in the train or something, i'll put on a podcast or some white noise app.
Quote: nah, fandom’s free and i won’t put a price on it (whew, dodged that one ;-)

How MacMillan shapes Rudolf's women – The Royal Ballet in Mayerling
Guest author Matthew Paluch looks at the six main female characters who surround Crown Prince Rudolf in Macmillan's ballet Mayerling, now in cinemas worldwide.

Guest author Matthew Paluch watches The Royal Ballet in Mayerling and ponders on how the six main female characters shape Crown Prince Rudolf and his demise.
People always complain that ballet isn’t accessible, that it’s elitist. It would take a PhD and more to unpick…
