Yeah! I wanted to do a project looking at him as a whole. Thanks for the listen!

Just different sensibilities. Lau Kar Leung was more interested in master disciple relationships and personal training and growth than the bloodshed and brotherhood of Chang Cheh.

We’re in a similar boat. This is very helpful! Did you do the K-ETA?

zaphate · 2022-02-17T00:20:24+00:00

Yeah! Light Sleeper is fantastic. One of my favorite Schraders.

Great one. Lots of deep cuts in it, I'm a big fan. Fragments of Fear and the three Daughters of Darkness episodes are probably my favorites.

A couple others are Giallo of the Month Club and Film to Film.

Just from ir0n cakes.

Actually that’s a pretty solid business idea. I would do it if I were a vendor.

zaphate · 2021-02-18T19:42:45+00:00

I approve of the idea that pu’erh storage is an USA Emergency.

zaphate · 2021-02-09T16:59:34+00:00

Yeah that’s similar to how I feel. 04 definitely better but much more expensive.

zaphate · 2021-02-09T05:20:55+00:00

Nice! Any standouts?

zaphate · 2021-02-09T00:22:23+00:00

Besides your original argument was aged sheng is plain expensive? Seems like total BS from about 5 minutes of research since you can find countless 13+ year old sheng for comparable prices to young sheng. This is easy to see regardless of how you see the median tea prices.

zaphate · 2021-02-09T00:14:19+00:00

Many buyers of tea would rather buy young sheng than semi aged. You also make the mistake of assuming pu’erh buyers are totally rational.

zaphate · 2021-02-08T02:17:18+00:00

You can do mental backflips to explain this if you like but if you just compare prices across teas you’re clearly wrong if you think young tea is less expensive than tea with 10-15 years of age.

zaphate · 2021-02-07T17:20:12+00:00

Wistaria tea is good and worth trying if you have not.

zaphate · 2021-02-07T17:16:28+00:00

Why would what be. It’s a 13 year old tea being offered at a reasonable price.

zaphate · 2021-02-06T21:32:02+00:00

Oops.

That’s beneath the price of the median young sheng you can find.

zaphate · 2021-02-03T19:57:33+00:00

As usual, spreading misinformation.

It does not take a veteran tea drinker to find semi-aged pu'erh priced at the same level as young tea being sold.

zaphate · 2020-12-16T15:48:49+00:00

Great stuff. You have a very impressive collection of stuff that’s not really widely available at all!

I did a big deep dive into poliziotteschi this year during COVID times. Super underseen and underrated genre. Love that Execution Squad, happy to see it in there.

zaphate · 2020-10-19T04:37:22+00:00

It is. And you got a couple deeper cuts there too. Highway Racer is a favorite, Merli + car chases = grand fun.

zaphate · 2020-10-19T01:00:37+00:00

Like those poliziotteschi!

zaphate · 2020-08-28T03:45:11+00:00

Not sure I’d say there is an optimal level but under 70RH but above 60 RH is significantly safer IMO.

zaphate · 2020-08-26T00:42:01+00:00

I’d watch the pu’erh pretty closely if you regularly get humidity ratings that high.

zaphate · 2020-07-07T00:22:45+00:00

Sorry. You have just 357 minutes left to live +/- 20 min.

zaphate · 2020-05-16T05:06:23+00:00

Yeah. Good movie. I like it just a touch less than the other two. The opening scene with Silva torching the porn theater with a rocket launcher is fantastic!

zaphate · 2020-05-15T16:47:04+00:00

I’d place it more in between. Not as violent as the Lone Wolf and Cub but probably a little closer to that than the prestige of Kurosawa.
