AnonymousOhh I’ve seen Departures! It won an Oscar, didn’t it?
Ooh, this is a useful thread. Or at least it will be for me once I get Netflix. ;)
Found a documentary the other day called “The Great Happiness Space.” It’s an inside look into the world of male host clubs. Dark, sleazy, interesting. Available for streaming.
“…Dr NakaMats”!!! So jazzed to see this one available. Will be watching soon.
Departures is one of my favorite movies. Totally made me cry though :P
Saw “Goemon” the other day. It was good.
Oh man, I watched The Great Happiness Space a few years back. Really sad :(
I saw Hackers yesterday. Yahhhhh retro movies
