Sweet mother of shit, I’m laughing so hard there are tears in my eyes. Skip to 1:00 if you want to see what’s what.
The glory of violence
I saw The Raid: Redemption yesterday. It’s hard to describe my reactions to the movie without speaking entirely in clichés. It actually was balls-to-the-wall action. It actually was superb and thrilling. It was almost literally pure action (I think there may have only been 10 minutes in total where nothing violent was going on). It’s not ironic and it’s not metatextual. It’s just legitimately good.
My god, it’s incredible.
