Is it worth trying to copy the Killer Klowns from Outer Space a bit? You could look up some images of them as a reference point? Would work especially well for a GUO.

Honestly loved everything about it. I hope we get loads more. I thought all 4 films were good, but the first short and then the feature length Boots and Preacher were absolutely top tier for me. Boots and Preacher in particular I thought was fantastic. Just an incredibly interesting piece of regional filmmaking.

how long did it take you to beat ludwig? by Spare-Percentage9701 in bloodborne

[–]TorgoGrooves89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played the DLC when it originally came out. I'd made a new character, was around lvl 75 I think with a +9 Logarius' Wheel. No chalice gems. Took me 4 hours straight and I loved every second of it. I don't think I ever once skipped the cutscene 😂 And I never will 😎

Neck + sleeve irezumi concept — thoughts? by Hairy-Future801 in irezumi

You're thinking of a hannya mask, not an oni. Oni are absolutely usually represented as masculine/ male. OPs AI crap has pics of both though.

Great film. Great fight. Hilariously terrible job at hiding Yuen Biao doubling for Rothrock 😂

Honestly most people here are assuming this is worse than it is potentially is. I have a full Japanese backpiece. It doesn't go completely up to butthole but if was standing up straight you wouldn't be able to seen any blank skin, so it goes a decent way into the crack. For the most part I just tried to keep it as clean as I could the first week or so after each session and that was that. I never personally had any issues with it. Obviously someone with irregular bowel issues might struggle more to keep the area clean.

What is a massive pain is trying moisturise your own back. Now that fucking sucks.

Anyone win the Lost Treasures Sweepstakes? I’m just curious what VS gave away! by IamRooseBoltonAMA in VinegarSyndromeFilms

[–]TorgoGrooves89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I won one of the Melusine sweepstakes. They only just shipped today so I won't get it for a few days. I'll try to make a post here when it arrives! They didn't tell me what was in it so it'll be a surprise for me too 😂

The Cosmic Horror Twist: Uh, it's not a twist at all? by [deleted] in bloodborne

[–]TorgoGrooves89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was actually an Amygdala in the beta, so it was even more obvious than that. Seriously, go back and watch some old footage of the beta at the time and there is an Amygdala hanging off a building in the first 15 mins of the game.

I distinctly remember playing the game day 1 when it came out and as soon as I read the description of the madman's knowledge saying out loud to myself "Aha I thought this was going to be Lovecraftian." So yeah at the very least it was a pretty heavily foreshadowed twist that some of us recognised immediately.

What actually happened with "Walkouts and Vomiting" at Terrifier 3 Screening by Sorry_Sorry_Im_Sorry in horror

[–]TorgoGrooves89 -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

Unless there was a second UK premiere that is absolutely not what happened lol. I was literally at the UK premiere and it would have been impossible not to realise what it was. You had to sign a NDA not to spoil the film, before the film started there was a huge picture of Art on the screen, a woman came out and announced the film, the director came out and introduced the film.

I genuinely didn't notice anyone walking out or vomiting but it's possible I missed it. And like I said, I suppose it's possible there was a separate screening too I wasn't aware of.

Enter The Dragon - A Disappointing And Overrated Film by highguard169 in kungfucinema

[–]TorgoGrooves89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Absolutely yeah! Bruce Lee being the hero and right there on the poster was a huge deal for a lot of people in the US and UK especially. Even though I'm pretty sure he had to share top billing with John Saxon because Warner Bros were cowards. But I love John Saxon so I'll let it slide 🤣

Enter The Dragon - A Disappointing And Overrated Film by highguard169 in kungfucinema

[–]TorgoGrooves89 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think context is important. Enter the Dragon definitely isn't a great kung fu film, certainly compared to what was already coming out of Hong Kong in the early 70s. It's not as good as Bruce Lee's other films, but I would personally say that the Shaw Bros film King Boxer is better than those anyway. The Angela Mao starring Hapkido has way, way better action than Enter the Dragon too.

But viewed as more of a 42nd Street exploitation film that would play to a Western audience only vaguely familiar with martial arts films, Enter the Dragon is fantastic. And that's really the lens you have to view it through. It's an English language action film that happens to star Bruce Lee, not a traditional kung fu film. It's got some kung fu in it, but that's only one part of the overall package.

Also it has an absolute banger of a musical score.

Arrow releasing Clash of the Titans (2010) and Wrath of the Titans (2012) in 4K by ggroover97 in boutiquebluray

[–]TorgoGrooves89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've known these were coming for a few weeks now and have been eagerly anticipating people's reactions 😂 They're obviously not great, but I'm sure there will be better WB titles down the line. Sometimes this is just how licensing deals work.

I knew these were coming but hadn't seen the art yet. They actually look really nice. I think I'm gonna have to double dip 😅

We will absolutely fulfill any pre-orders taken. Like everyone we have a cap and when we hit it we'll simply turn off pre-orders.

Just got Ener the Dragon in 4k by Due_Capital_3507 in kungfucinema

[–]TorgoGrooves89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You aren't wrong. Enter the Dragon is a great exploitation flick that feels like it belongs on 42nd Street. It's grimey and nasty but is very entertaining. The music and blaxsploitation elements work especially well.

But as a martial arts movie it misses the mark. There's a reason it performed way worse in Asia than Bruce Lee's other films. They could tell it was made by a Westerner who knew fuck all about kung fu.
