I need to figure out what to do with my old Hong Kong Rescue discs. Right now I just have this shame corner.
It's very strange for the White House to declare "defend home field" over images of bright blue cities it has pledged to destroy.
Cities it has literally invaded, with federal troops... which were defended from him by ordinary Americans.
RIP Gene Shalit.
Sneaking in some bb Jackie Chan with HALF A LOAF OF KUNG FU, which I think we can all agree is the kind of title that gets you a whole extra star. #Junesploitation
Ms. Rachel is an absolute hero. A warrior for humanity facing down an army of soulless demons.

I'm sure this makes sense to someone
"She would make sure that all 535 packets of letters and drawings were delivered to every member of Congress. She would keep telling the stories of the children she’d met."
Keep going, Ms. Rachel.

There are so many Kung-fu films I need to see and too little time, so #Junesploitation is really being a pal here. My gorgeous new Jackie Chan 4k set arrived yesterday (!!!), but THE KUNG-FU INSTRUCTOR & DIRTY HO had dibs! Although if any movies were gonna fight it out…
RIP Gene Shalit.
In his honor, here's a clip from the best interview he ever did.
Issue 494 of Starburst is out NOW! Includes part one of my bumper feature looking at the career of Hong Kong cinema supreme JOHN WOO!
Hope you check it out, and watch out for part two (the Hollywood years!) coming soon!
After reading this piece by @sanshinsoba.bsky.social, I watched FLOATING WEEDS & I'm happy that I did. It felt less like watching a movie & more like visiting this movie's world. An excellent choice for summer viewing.
(FLOATING WEEDS is on HBO Max)
Read this & see if it inspires you as well.👇

Oh boy do I love disaster movies, but I wanted to really slather it on for #Junesploitation, so I went with DEATH SHIP, which crams in almost all genres. I personally think a cruise ship sinking and its inhabitants ending up on a bloodthirsty nazi ghost ship counts, PLUS there are kids to wrangle. 💀
