I haven't had time to return to reviewing, but for Halloween I have released the extremely rare 1968 Shaw Brothers supernatural film, The Enchanted Chamber, on my YouTube! The overwhelming reception to putting Reckless Cricket up gave me the idea to see what other rare things I could share!

A few months back I discovered Neocities, a hosting site looking to bring back the days of Geocities. So I decided to resurrect my original Goonies website! Welcome back to 1997!

Cool to see these coming from VS. I liked Haunted Tales a lot, Hell Has no Boundary pretty well, and I haven’t seen Sex Beyond the Grave yet. Of note is that I believe Haunted Tales and Sex Beyond were both VCD only releases in HK (although Sex does have the recent AU blu release from Imprint).

Now available to preorder on Blu-ray and shipping after their #BlackFriday #Sale in the US from @vinsyn.bsky.social: Shaw Scares Volume 1 (1980-1984)!

Our film, Memories to Choke On, Drinks to Wash Them Down 夜香・鴛鴦・深水埗, will leave Hong Kong Netflix on October 27! If you've been meaning to watch it as part of an all-you-can-eat experience, and don't need English subtitles, this is your last chance. If you do need English subtitles ...

I started playing Swery’s new game Hotel Barcelona today. It’s very fitting for the season, with lots of horror movie inspiration!

Your library also has audio books. And most likely ebook/audio book apps like Libby, Hoopla, and cloudLibrary.

And that's just a tiny bit of the super cool stuff your library has. You should go check it out.
As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.

They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

Been dealing with lots of little loose end things I pushed aside while finishing Reckless Cricket. Was going to try to get back at it this week, but now one of my wife’s caregivers is out the rest of the week and I have to do her hours. So it goes. Maybe next week!

Pete Townshend hasn’t released a solo album since 1993, but the day after I post the Pete Townshend Potato, he says in an interview that he has 140 tracks basically ready to go after the final North American Who shows. I can’t wait!
One of my favorite Internet finds was the "Pete Townshend Potato" on eBay. It has provided me with a lifetime of laughs ever since. Attached is the listing photo that I've transferred to every computer I've ever had. I looked it up and it was 2005, so happy 20th anniversary Pete Townshend Potato.

The 3rd annual Hong Kong On Screen Film Festival is happening soon & tickets are now available! In person in LA, but they also have some online showings for people like me! I so appreciate festivals that do this! I watched everything they had online last year & it was so fun! www.hkosff.net/schedule

Curious why Tony Stella was commissioned to make posters for a bunch of Shout's Hong Kong acquisitions, but then the art isn't on the physical releases. Oh well. You can see more of them here: www.foxtheatre.ca/hong-kong-ci...

A reminder that some historical events/tragedies are NOT ancient history for many people.
Emmett Till would be 84 today.

Not 114. Not 104.

84.

He would be my uncle. Not great-great or great uncle. One of my parents' siblings. This is why we remember.

Not sure what the others are, but I'd know the cover of Santana's Abraxas anywhere! Didn't expect to see that when I started up Li Han-Hsiang's final Michael Hui Shaw film, Sinful Confession!

Just found out that Jimmy Lin, the super swinging star of the awesome Singing Thief and Tropicana Interlude has passed away aged 92. The Singing Thief was released by Eureka fairly recently, and is highly recommended for fans of groovy 60s action. 92 is a good run, but still sad. Rest in Peace King.

Fascinating, an epic journey for Will, and yet a real indication of the importance of quality subtitle translators over AI.
How (and Why) I Translated The Reckless Cricket
How I translated The Reckless Cricket is quite a lengthy answer. Before going into detail, I will put it simply. I used the Whisper (speech-to-text) function embedded within Subtitle Edit to provide a...

James Gunn's Superman dropped the same day I released my Reckless Cricket subs, but I'm pretty sure only one of these movies has a joke about shit endurance!
The time has come! Here is Kuei Chih-Hung's previously lost/missing-in-action 1979 film, The Reckless Cricket, in its original Cantonese with new English subtitles by me! The file contains Stacked Chinese/English subs or English only, as well as the (inferior) Mandarin dub. mega.nz/file/xsISVCC...

OK motherfuckers, get ready! Reckless Cricket tomorrow! Just have a couple small things left that I will finish in the morning.

I wrote the first draft of my Reckless Cricket review today. Looking forward to the next film, I see in Shaw Screen that Shaolin Rescuers is a Cantonese production. Shout’s blu is Mandarin or English only, IVL DVD has both. Almost bought one, but I checked my iTunes copy and it’s Cantonese! Hurray

Just finished watching Reckless Cricket with my subs. Very fun. Caught a few issues that I have to fix, but other than that it’s pretty nice. Just need to write the review. Next week is looking good for finally being done. 🦗🎉
