“Everyone knows what H.O.T.S. stands for, and it’s disgusting”
I’d guard what H.O.T.S. really stands for with my life for these gals. Maybe some of the best seal reaction shots I’ve ever seen. Not a fan of Bonaduce’s singing here, but his delivery of “far out, strip football” was fantastic.

Finished reading a southern gothic horror novel, rewatched Mazinger Z vs Devilman, so now the obvious next step is to fill a major boner comedy blind spot.

Did you know you don’t have to go out on Friday night? You can just stay in and watch Mazinger Z vs Devilman, and nobody will stop you.

Ace Attorney (2012)
I haven’t played the Phoenix Wright games in years, but I did once dress up as Detective Gumshoe, so I think I’m qualified to declare this a great adaptation. Ryo Ishibashi nails his big monologue. Really need to catchup on post-13 Assassins Miike, I’m woefully behind.

Suit Yourself or Shoot Yourself!! II: The Escape (1995)
Two films in and it already feels like hanging out with old friends. Show Aikawa is hilarious in this, but Ren Osugi (and his little pudding cup) is the MVP.

Michael McDowell was the best to ever do it, and by “it” I mean writing horror paperback originals about weird southern families.

The Age of Assassins (1967)
Nakadai plays it like Carey Grant in Monkey Business with a serious case of athlete’s foot, as he absent-mindedly dodges assassination attempts by a series of increasingly oddball killers. Features a mechanic named Otomo Bill. Extremely my kind of movie.

The Silent Samurai: A Hideo Gosha created riff on Corbucci’s The Great Silence, starring Tomisaburo Wakayama. A mute swordsman travels the land as a bounty hunter, searching for the Spaniard that killed his family and cut his throat. Kenji Misumi directs.

The Lethal Three (starring Koji Yakusho) is the ideal TV series: a trio of colorful wanderers get into weekly adventures. There’s a sword fight. The end. It’s what the medium was made for.

Most filmmakers would fall into the trap of focusing solely on the cool and beautiful bounty hunter, but Amemiya understands the juice is in hanging with the two goofiest dudes ever.
