"My first film, 'The Duellists' (1977) was criticized for being too beautiful. One critic complained about ‘the overuse of filters.’ Actually, there were no filters used. The ‘filters’ were fifty-nine days of pissing rain." --- Ridley Scott Full Excerpt: "Because of my background in fine art, I have very specific ideas about making films. I’ve always been told I have this eye. I’ve never thought about what it is, but I’m usually accused of being too pretty, or too beautiful, or too this, or too that. I’ve gradually realized that this is an advantage. My first film, 'The Duellists' (1977) was criticized for being too beautiful. One critic complained about ‘the overuse of filters.’ Actually, there were no filters used. The ‘filters’ were fifty-nine days of pissing rain. I think what he was taken by was how I look at the French landscape. Probably the best photographers of the Napoleonic period would be painters. So I looked at the Russian painters of Napoleon going to the front on that disastrous journey to Russia. A lot of great nineteenth-century views on that are frankly just photographic. I would take everything from those and apply that to the film." ("The Element: How Finding your Passion Changes Everything", Ken Robinson with Lou Aronica, 2009)

Was watching some SPL (2005) behind the scenes commentary with Donnie Yen and man, this shit is gospel, I am with it 100%🙏

Bloodsport (1988) Trailer Any fans?

One of my favorite fights from ACCIDENT MAN!! It’s always a blast when Scott gets to be mean even as a hero and Tim Man makes him look absolutely untouchable here. These two make magic happen and I cannot wait to see what they cook up next!

Seedance 2 at it again. I really hope the model does not get nerfed for the west. That said, my hopes are small.

The first ever movie of Jetli that made me love him. Jet Li vs General Fujita…this hits differently each time. Martial art 🥋 🤛 🤜.
