albert pyun

my brain might be poisoned

i also would like to take back what i said about the nemesis sequels... once you adjust to the fact that none of them are going to be anything like the first one, the second has some pretty undeniable stunts and the fourth is so bizarre as to feel like some damaged fetish dream transcription. not much going on in 3 beyond tim thomerson though

Prayers up as it looks like the great Albert Pyun's health has taken a turn for the worst and he likely doesn't have much time left. Send him some love if you can and I know I'll be trawling Tubi later tonight to find one of his flicks I haven't watched yet.

oh man <3

restored sword and the sorcerer is on tubi now and is worth experiencing

2 Pyun movies covered on redlettermedia today, if you can stand those guys. No Mike in the episode, at least.

You can get Nemesis 1-4 on Blu-ray for < $20 total right now via MVD's Black Friday sale: https://mvdshop.com/collections/blackfriday2022 . Not to mention a BR of Crazy Six (which I didn't know was Pyun) for literally $1.99. And probably some other stuff I missed.

after watching a ton of his films this year he kinda became my favorite director, this was a long time coming given his history of health issues but…. there’s so much love for filmmaking, so much of the spirit of creation in his work. ultimately, in his prime, he could make the goofiest shit look dope. i highly recommend seeking out a copy of knights, wuxia stunts + kris kristofferson + lance henriksen as a cyborg vampire

did my best to explain why i love this guy's work so much, even (especially?) when it sucks. (also includes meditations on crimes of the future and cabaret voltaire)
