Yeeesssss! I really love the first volume, so this is an exciting spooky october gift, for sure!

I knew I'd get a package today. When I got home, it was pouring, and I knew the location of the package could get real wet, even if it was under a carport. But, once again, the packaging was superb. No water damage what so ever. Thanks @Terracotta_Dist! :D

Happy anniversary @thirdwindow! You are the distributor of some of my most favorite movies like The Taste of Tea, One Cut of the Dead, and A Samurai in Time, to name a few. Can't wait to see what more you'll bring to us, in the coming years. Cheers!
On this day, May 23, 20 years ago Third Window Films was started Been a long journey that gets tougher every year, but happy to still be going! Thanks everyone! To celebrate 20 years, have 20% off all titles for 2 weeks @Terracotta_Dist *discount in cart shop.terracottadistribution.com/collections/th…
Thanks @Terracotta_Dist for sending me this movie as a prize for using #terracottastore in a tweet. I've been very curious about this little movie, released by @thirdwindow, and can't wait watching it tonight.

I know @thirdwindow just released some hot new stuff, but they've been doing this for a long time. Yet another addition from the past to the collection...

A little gift to myself through @Terracotta_Dist. 2 shiny slipcases for these @thirdwindow releases. And as always, carefully packaged, so they arrived in perfect condition. What's not to love here :) #terracottastore

I love the slipcase, can't wait!
Gakuryu Ishii’s adaptation of the legendary Kobo Abe novel THE BOX MAN 箱男 is out on bluray June 30! A project 40 years in the making Starring Masatoshi Nagase and Shogun star @asano_tadanobu! Pre-order the limited edition “box” slipcase @Terracotta_Dist shop.terracottadistribution.com/products/the-b…
Since One Cut of the Dead (カメラを止めるな!) is one of my favorite movies, I just had to get this edition from @thirdwindow too. It comes with a little bonus movie. Which is great, because I love seeing this crew together :)

Since seeing Godzilla Minus One, in TOHO Cinemas Shinjuku last year, I've been totally back into Kaiju movies. I bought all the Gamera and Daimajin movies. The 4K releases of the OG Godzilla movie and G -1.0. But today, finally, this big boy arrived! Been eyeing this for too long

Takeshi Kitano's latest movie, Broken Rage, is a little gem that nicely encapsulates both sides, in which we've come to know him. His front and back, no. His top and bottom, no! I... digress. Let's just say this caters to those who like his badass and his funny stuff!

Ooooh weee! Thanks for the reminder!
Takeshi Kitano’s BROKEN RAGE is a perfect little amalgamation of the silly nonsensical humour he cut his teeth on back in the day mixed with the violent existential Yakuza stuff he became synonymous with down the line. For a fan like me it was 66 minutes of pure nostalgic joy 🥰
I am watching this series on Netflix called The Hot Spot (ホットスポット). It's freakin' hilarious. Deadpan comedy, slice of life with a twist. "Honne" and "tatemae" are a big part of the humor. All this near Mt. Fuji, which wants me to go back there now! netflix.com/us/title/81985…

It seems to be a thing, over at the UK boutique distributors to send the pre-orders out extra early, thanks for that @Terracotta_Dist! To "celebrate" I'll be watching Mermaid Legend tonight. I waited so long for this one to get a proper release. 楽しみに待ってます!@thirdwindow

With all the shit happening left and right in the world... this is actually some great news! With a year skipped, there's lots to talk about indeed. Cheers!
I have some exciting news to share! After a year’s hiatus Adam and I have decided to get the band back together and restart THE THIRD WINDOW FILMS PODCAST! A lot has happened since our last episode back in February 2024, so get ready for an influx of Japanese film industry fandom
