Happy birthday in movie heaven to my favorite Japanese director, Kinji Fukasaku (born July 3, 1930), known for Battle Royale, Black Lizard, Battles Without Honor and Humanity, and of course, Message from Space! He would have been 95 years old today.

I read and watched Battle Royale recently and decided to make some cover art for it — featuring all the students' weapons (from the novel)!

Language and its evolution is super interesting.

I'm assuming the term 'Battle Royale' in video games came from this movie...

Finally reading Battle Royale by Koushun Takami and while I knew it had at least inspired that genre of game I didn't realize it's practically a seminal text for that specific mode of game design holy moly

Rewatching Battle Royale and it just hits differently as an adult.

It’s rare for a film to illicit such a strong reaction from me but it’s beautiful and brutal at the exact same time. If you’ve never seen it, correct that immediately.
