in other news, i have been watching so many movies lately for no reason in particular. my local theatre was playing Hard Boiled (subbed!!! not that one awful dub) and even though ive never been the biggest fan of john woo's particular flavour of gun-fu, i loved it. everything from the iconic nursery scene and onwards is just incredible. and tony leung looks so young in it!!!! Also I rewatched Nope, RRR, and screened that new War of the Worlds for a bunch of friends and thought it was just absolutely fucking abysmal. i did not have a good time with that movie. Redline, on the other hand, was a total blast even though i did honestly get just a little bored of the sheer animation spectacle at a certain point. as far as maximalist fantasy racing movies go i think i preferred Speed Racer!
