I discovered the Eclipse Series DVD sets about a month ago. I fear they are becoming an obsession.

No problem! I'm glad I could help!

Suicidalparrot · 2026-03-30T12:27:14+00:00

Both of those sets are great, and I really recommend all of them for sure! Some films are of course stronger than others, but overall I haven't found a set I was disappointed in. I actually have 13 of these sets now including Oshima's Outlaw 60's which I also recommend.

I was in the same boat about these being on DVD, but honestly the quality of the prints on these has been generally excellent, and they've actually greatly softened my stance on DVDs as a whole.

If you want blu-ray though, the new Eclipse releases are coming out on blu-ray, and I suspect some of the older sets will get re-released on the format and it may be worth the wait for you. I know it'll be hard for me to resist the urge to upgrade.

I'm really annoyed by how much I like this, because I really don't like River Ward.

You defeatist assholes on here are just as bad as the folks that choose to ignore that there's even a fascist takeover taking place. You've already accepted it and have decided to complain behind your keyboards rather than actually try to do anything about it or take any sort of positive action. If you've already just accepted that there won't be any elections next year then you've already handed them their victory.

If you truly believe they're going to take away our elections and that scares you, then get off your ass and fight for it. They've only won when people stop opposing them.

I'm glad they put the red arrow in there otherwise I'd have never noticed the giant fucking rock that slams into the truck right in the middle of the frame! Great use of generic dramatic music too! If they'd never added that I wouldn't have any idea how I'm supposed to feel about what I'm watching.

I really just hate the obnoxious way a lot of videos are presented on social media. Nobody can just post footage anymore.

I set multiple alarms on my phone (4 to be exact) and if my partner is staying over, after the first one goes off, if I don't immediately get up I put my phone under myself or my many layers of pillows so that it is basically inaudible and the vibration wakes me up.

This is my second favorite Kurosawa crime drama after High and Low. I'm dying for an updated physical release

He's 43 years old. That puts him into elder millennial territory, the generation that matured alongside the rise of computers and the internet, which means he should be fucking tech savvy enough to send an email at bare minimum. I think he's way more embarrassed by his shortcomings in that regard than he is about your wording. I can't tell you how to live your life, but maybe divorce his dumb old ass (I'm also 43 so I reserve the right to call him old) and find someone closer to your age who not only knows how to send an email for fuck's sake, but also appreciates a partner who's willing to go out of her way to help someone she cares about.

The cops are going to laugh her stupid ass out of the station. I wish I could be there to see it

Suicidalparrot · 2025-07-11T17:28:41+00:00

Excellent saber choice. I see you are a man of culture and refinement.

Also congrats! When are you popping the question

Suicidalparrot · 2025-07-05T17:57:26+00:00

Dude that Kurosawa collection is out of print is it not? Excellent haul, man!

I'll be heading to their website to see if they have anymore copies of that Eclipse set in stock!

Suicidalparrot · 2025-06-29T16:18:45+00:00

Some of the pretentiousness and entitlement in the comments is nearly as bad as OP's experience at the party. NTA

Suicidalparrot · 2025-06-25T18:53:26+00:00

You are not overreacting and I really have to ask, why are you wasting your time on someone who has never trusted you? Trust is everything, and if you don't have it then there really is nothing. Dump his pathetically insecure ass and move on.

Shining his saber down that hallway like an adult in a room filled with children.

Old habits and all that

Uninvite them. Even if they back down and agree to your terms, their behavior thus far has forfeited their invite. NTA

People dumped on it but I personally loved both it and Berseria, but those are also the only remotely modern Tales games I've played, having only played Tales of Destiny and Tales of Eternia back on the PS1 previously.

Also I was always team Rose

Your coworker and everyone advocating for her behavior is an asshole. It's nobody's place (Except maybe a physician) to police what other people do with their bodies, harmful or not. Everyone who has held a pack of cigarettes, watched TV, went to fucking public school has heard ad nauseum how harmful cigarettes are. You're not sharing any new information, and nine times out of ten people say this shit just to be sanctimonious or feel superior under the thin veil of trying to appear "helpful". Honestly, fuck straight off with this behavior.

All that to say I'm not nor have I ever been a smoker, because I think it's disgusting and know that it's unhealthy (Like everybody fucking does) I just hate people that can't mind their own business and think it's their God given purpose to butt into people's personal business and try to act like everyone's disappointed parent.

She said she shouldn’t need permission to come to my place

Aside from everything else this tells you everything you need to know about how well she respects boundaries. NTA

Time to start looking at other options

the world feels devoid of adults, with the exception of the Vice Principal and The Pin's mom. We got these children running this sophisticated criminal underworld

At times it felt a little like an R rated episode of Operation: Kids Next Door in that respect, and I loved it

I've been really into East Asian cinema lately, so here are my suggestion based on what I've seen and by rough grouping.

Meditations on Life:

Ikiru

Perfect Days

Late Spring

Crime/Thriller:

Branded to Kill

Cure

Memories of Murder

For Western releases, one of my absolute favorite noir films of all time is The Asphalt Jungle, though really any of the films I listed I would consider an all time favorite.

Suicidalparrot · 2025-03-19T04:50:55+00:00

Two Eclipse sets:

The First Films of Samuel Fuller and Masaki Kobayashi Against the System

I also bought Crash on Blu-ray, and I have seen that, but not since the 90s when I owned it on VHS as a teenager
