@diegozicob @FF8_Garden @hellfireomens XVI feels at times very classic. I think future gamers will look back one day and love it. So yeah, they almost pulled this off in this generation as well.

@FF8_Garden @hellfireomens We got FF16 and FF7 Rebirth within less than a year of each other and FF7 Part 3 arrives next year. Pretty similar timeline.
English
Ya it was and we didn’t have to wait an entire console generation between releases

Yep everyone can make their lists about shared DNAs of the other films and look for references the way we did with Kill Bill or try to mention The Raid for some reason again… but this was much more akin to when Ong Bak came out and it was meteor from space sent to jolt us awake

your favorite action movie and video game is just a ripoff of Hard Boiled. top 10 greatest movie of all time
Letterboxd@letterboxd
Watch an exclusive clip from the restoration of John Woo’s Hard Boiled 🏍️ The 4K UHD Blu-ray restoration will be released March 30 from @ArrowFilmsVideo

@GenePark I’ve said greatest action film ever for the better part of 3 decades now
English
@GangsterCinema What a lot of people don't realize is John Woo replicated a lot of the Japanese and European gangster films he grew up with. This particular scene is from a 1964 Teruo Ishii film called An Outlaw. Woo expands upon it, of course, but once you've seen it you'll know right away.

The Killer (1989)
Dir. John Woo
Quentin Tarantino on why John Woo’s films were better than most American action films.
"What he does that Americans don't have is he just has good ideas, like in "The Killer." When it comes to the woman's, the blind gal's apartment, all right, the cop and the hit man are there and they can't say who they are, so the blind girl doesn't know, but they each get like a Mexican standoff going there, but they gotta act like they don't.
That stuff is just incredible, man. I mean, you'd watch 20 years of American movies and never see anything that clever."

@Gingerdome81 What is this at number 9? I don't believe I am familiar.

Back to my roots. Action films and in particular martial arts films. So here’s my top 16 of all time. Tried to keep it varied. One film per franchise. You may not agree and that’s fine. Yes Enter the Dragon is 1 cause it’s my favorite martial arts film ever.

My only #ChuckNorris story is about an actor friend of mine who got called in to play a bad guy on WALKER, TEXAS RANGER. My friend is slight, maybe 5’9” tall. He asked the casting director “Do you really think I’m the right type?”
“You’re the right height.”
English
@McClane1992 @kungfupete Maybe around as much as the assistant director of The Godfather Part II.
English
@kungfupete It annoys me that there are loads of directors and martial artists that are qualified for such jobs. What does the director of a drama series know about martial arts?
English
We live in an era with more Hollywood martial arts movie made than ever but with fewer stars who actually knows martial arts. Like JCVD was probably one of the least skilled martial arts stars of his era but we have no one right now who’s even remotely close to him.

"I May Destroy You" creator Michaela Coel is writing and directing a remake of Jean-Claude Van Damme's martial arts classic "Bloodsport" for A24. "I have long been in awe of fighters, and astounded by the discipline, intensity and isolation the sport demands of them," Coel said. I am excited to explore this world, especially so with A24 as my collaborators. LET'S FUCKING GO." wp.me/pc8uak-1lH1XX

A Better Tomorrow – 1986
Dir. John Woo
John Woo on why he had Chow Yun-fat dual wielding Berettas.
“I didn't want my hero using machine gun. I think the people who using machine gun, it's not a hero. You can shoot - kill anybody so easily, you know?
I want my hero, one gun, and then two, because I wanted to get a sound like music, like a drum beat, you know?
...That was the start, from that the movie. And it worked pretty well - it shocked the audience when they saw that scene of two guns, they went crazy.”

@Gingerdome81 They gotta throw MBJ in there one of these times. Come on.

Excellent timing as I’m making way through the show and it’s fantastic

@McFlick5150 Ha, yep. That's legitimately how it works, I swear. Thanks for biting the bullet.

I got the DVDs over the last couple months. So you’re welcome.

Coming May 19th on Blu-ray! kinolorber.com/product/the-ba… THE BASE (1999) / THE BASE 2: GUILTY AS CHARGED (2000) • NEW Audio Commentary for The Base by Director Mark L. Lester and Actor Randy Cognata (Jack LaRue Jr.), Moderated by Dark Force Entertainment's David DeFalco • Know Your Weapons: NEW Interview with Base 2 Star Antonio Sabàto Jr. •The Base and The Base 2 Trailers • Dual-Layered BD50 Disc • Optional English Subtitles Color 97/96 Minutes 1.85:1 R A double dose of supercharged military action, directed by Mark L. Lester (Commando, The Ex)! The Base (1999) – When an officer is gunned down on the Camp Tillman Army base, the Pentagon sends in their top Army Intelligence man, John Murphy (Mark Dacascos, Only the Strong, John Wick 3). Murphy discovers that a senior sergeant (John Abell, Rapid Assault) and his men are attempting to take over the drug business along the Mexico border. As Murphy delves deeper into the case, he walks a fine line of corruption—and ultimately pits himself against an entire army. The Base 2: Guilty as Charged (2000) – Two dozen U.S. soldiers are missing without a trace and the President wants answers. It’s up to John Murphy (Antonio Sabàto Jr., High Voltage, The Big Hit) to find them. Murphy goes undercover to infiltrate an underground military court where those judged guilty are forced into a lethal sport of hunting—and they are the prey. It will take more than surviving the game to take down the court’s sadistic ringleader (James Remar, The Warriors).

Without saying anything, how long have you been playing video games?
English
@NostalgiaVerse7 Yes, it should be interesting to see how they tie all of these elements in together here. I suppose since they blamed Wutai for "weather warfare" they'll do the same with Meteor. Also would make the Tifa execution work better.
English
I wanted Rebirth to end after Cloud hands the Black Materia to Sephiroth in the Northern Crater...Because it was the perfect Empire Strikes Back ending IMO...but also because I thought that moment shouldnt be relegated to the opening tutorial section of Part 3...but here we are..

@Lady_Dutton365 @meganarianism @greendragonhq @nicksortor @EarthlyElixir @DataRepublican This is more like it. Looking into it from here.
English
@meganarianism @Kain424 @greendragonhq @nicksortor @EarthlyElixir DHS.gov? You looked hard. 😂Funding was laundered from many sources to NGOs. Check out Michael Yon's reporting from Darien Gap. Go back to @datarepublican's tracking the laundering through 990 filings of grants etc. Just a start IF you really want to know.

🚨 HOLY CRAP — Kristi Noem just testified UNDER OATH that the Biden regime was PAYING child traffickers to sponsor unaccompanied minors coming across the border
Mayorkas and Biden should be in PRISON for this.
“The government was PAYING individuals that were knowingly trafficking them and abusing them. That has stopped.”
“Unaccompanied alien children were LOST by the Biden administration, not tracked. We've located about 145,000 of them”
English
@Lady_Dutton365 @meganarianism @greendragonhq @nicksortor @EarthlyElixir Sure, but this is sounding more and more like an assumption of corruption. Surely there would be journalists (independent or otherwise) covering this SOMEWHERE.
English
@Kain424 @meganarianism @greendragonhq @nicksortor @EarthlyElixir It's pretty absurd to assume that something they wanted to conceal would be an obvious budget line item. You start with who was involved on the ground and then track their funding. It was certainly wasn't just DHS either.
English
@meganarianism @Lady_Dutton365 @greendragonhq @nicksortor @EarthlyElixir Well... damn. Guess you can't believe everything you hear about on the internet.

The tangible proof isn’t out there ie) financial records visible to the public and whatnot.
This has been a common talking point since trump’s announcement to run again for president. It wasn’t included in any government website until after he was elected. So I take the proof with a grain of salt as this administration in particular has lied and fudged numbers consistently/pointed the blame at others for their actions.
If there ever is proof though I’d be interested in seeing it.
