Demon Slayer is too shonen for my taste, Chainsaw Man thread between shonen and seinen. It can go overt OP edge lord while embedded with dark psychological story beats. Another main reason to watch is Mappa Studio. Like JJK 0 the movie, it took it to next level with nuance emotional beats and the fight scenes just blow your mind. Sit through the slower build up in the first half of the movie, once the Bomb Devil revealed herself it's non-stop action.

I wish to say this is that pretentious style over substance trainwreck. There's a lot to like but also some really terrible story structure.There are some okay action sequences but it's not even that integral to the bigger picture because how they present the supposed narrative hook. The art direction and cameos of forgotten stars is the attraction for me. It come across an incomplete experience.

I returned to pyramid IMAX for f1. Yeah second time after originally went for standard version that Friday night it' opened late June

(originally wanted to go 1u then found out just too far for me still)

One thing is to kinda let me having refresher of how F1 can be endured much longer than I expected this year. I thought that's very good run for 2 months from late June till late August (just in time for me to catch IMAX demon slayer infinite castle in just reopened and upgraded laser projector)

Most of time, F1 having some thrill that's best served in big enough screen (I didn't go 4dx because hard to book and limited locations, so I can not say about it)
Especially during the racing scenes of grand prix race weekends (although the in between 3 weekends when Joshua forced to take break more like a filler for me, just underdog story progress)

Some things I have to say is fking LPF/WB censor a bit too much foul words just to make it clear 13 classification (along side with some scene about Joshua dissed sonny during first encounter, as well as censor middle finger b4 finale gp)

F1 should be rated 16 with such uncensored words. However I doubt that this will help in terms of box office because, another WB blockbuster 1BAA rated 16, didn't fare quite well ultimately

Other than that, the duration wise and post production cutting, need to be a bit more concise, some filler scenes could be cut a little bit shorter. This applies to both f1 and 1baa. Almost 3 hours duration is a big challenge for some men bladder (I almost can't hold the bladder and need to endure untill final scene will full bladder is not that optimal). Also this may pose challenge for some late night viewers which rely on public transport too


Okay enough say about bs. Partly because of LPF and WB, I give F1 7.5/10. And also 1baa too (although for 1baa wise not much is cut or censor. Just minor issues with duration, pacing and cutting)

Since Endgame there has always been big PSA saying toilet before the movie start

I been adopting this approach in any movie length since then

My bladder thank me 4 that even after age 40 still young and solid😄😆💥💥

Yeah i also think F1 should perfectly clocked 120 minutes

There are some scenes can trim some more hahahaha

Frankenstein (2025 @ Netflix)
Ayam not even seen a trailer for this - but story is pretty well known kan - GDT's take on this classic IS ABSOLUTELY GREAT STUFF!!

An Oscar for Oscar(Isaac) if you will, you can hate his performance in the SW sagas - but he brought his A-Game for this freak show (much like he did for Moon Knight) - been seeing high praises for Elordi's performance but not as much for Isaac's - both played their roles really well to suit GDT's theme and storytelling Mia Goth's role might be a little underutilised but that might just be me - overall great work by the casts

Music is hauntingly well played and timed, and my oh my, how they lean into the colors, mamamia *chefs kiss* - this is another gem from maestro del Toro

Doesn't matter if you've read the novels, watched previous adaptations - this is refreshing and beautifully portrayed in its own way - and definitely worth another viewing

As always, fair warning - 1001% NOT for kids -

Weak ones can watch k pop demon hunters 4 the hundred times🤭🤭😄😆
