Female latin american directors?
Geez, i thought there would be more directors to touch before something like that happened

Well, in terms of actors and directors, there's still plenty to pick out, although finding complete sets of certain directors might be difficult.
Nagisa Oshima might be an interesting person to pick, i was surprised to not see him when i checked that list, taking into account his controversial nature and fame. Walter Hill is somewhat "mainstream" and over played, but his body of work is worth noting, at least in the overall tones.
Might be too soon, but the South Korean Wave (1998-2008) is also plentiful, it has too many plastic facades and colors in its list, but there's a lot of interesting works there. Chinese
"Fifth Generation" also comes to mind, even if only for Yimou and Kaige.
Why not a good ol irish drinking month or a Yugoslav Wars month depicted by every side.
Maybe revisit Third Reich cinema with soundtracks and literature addendum? Italian Fascism, Soviet and Weimar had them well enough
I mean i find the current theme a blanket one to pick a bunch of crumbs laying around, but i'm not really against it, i just find it bizarre taking into account some bubbles here and there.

Yeah, I'm not too invested in this kind of identity-based subcategorization that originates from campus humanities departments. Are there defining characteristics of Latina directors? And what the hell does Latinx mean??
I've seen some of these films and I had no idea they were made by women.

That would be very interesting. I thought KG had more Yugo months but I only see one on the list.

I was very surprised to see Cananea (1977) was made by a woman, taking into account the general topic is manly as Conan, but sad to read that it's mostly about the commie aspects/laborers' rights instead of the actual petitions by the mine's workers (8-hours shift instead of 12, better rooms because pic related, cancelling the law that expels all booze and musicians from the general area, effectively ending the workers' saloons)
It's not one of the first houses there but it is the first 2-level house
>Latinx
Nothing, it means nothing at all. A term invented around foreign gender studies to have a "neutral" term when talking about all the latin american population.
Neutral because something ending with "o" is usually masculine, with "a" is most of the times feminine. And when talking about everyone (with both genders mixed) in a certain area we use the "e" or the "o" termination, with a trusty, pluralizing "s" of course: musicos (musicians), perros (dogs), gatos (cats), pajaros (birds)...
Latinos sounding too "male-ish" for some, latinx was invented but in spanish-speaking places nobody uses the x in that way, so only those weird folks end up using that word. And Latins cannot be used because those are the very important folks from Latium.
At the end of the day it's a lost battle from the beginning because latinos use the term "hispanic" much more often, simply because this term (derived from Hispania) means anyone in America descended from the Spanish culture and/or doctrine, which means anyone except brazilians and island people. And this is a VERY important distinction.

Yeah, they should have definitely done another shitty, low effort MoM that doesn't go beyond setting some famous director's filmography to give bonus upload for a month.
It's not like the contemporary female filmmakers from South America are the talk at every major film festival nowadays, right? They totally aren't de facto shaping out to be one of the most interesting unspoken movements in the cinema of the recent years. We should steer far away from identity politics and instead go for a theme that has not only already been done before, but is even more political than that (although. thankfully like most triggered /pol/babies I'm too uneducated to know that so it's perfectly fine after all since I'm not even planning on engaging in it beyond namedropping it to sound like I'm in the know)

There's a couple more where Yuen Biao got his fame, they are decent enough but i did saw them long time ago
Knockabout - Sammo Hung
Wheels on Meals - Sammo Hung
Magnificent Butcher - Woo-ping Yuen
Dreadnaught - Woo-ping Yuen
Whopping also made Iron Monkey
The first Armour of God is also decent, personal opinion i prefer it from the second one.
I would also include Once Upon a Time in China 2, only because it has Jet Li against Don Yen, but it's not as good as the first and the subtitles are somewhat off even in the Bluray version. The stunts are just as good even if it is the only thing going for it, they have no solid justifications behind it, characters really don't have any build-up. Only if you loved the first.
And i think Police Story was in the list back there, even when it was only distributed by GH i believe. Just checked and yes, it's there, guess the list also includes movies distributed, but not made, by them.
That makes it more outrageous, A Chinese Ghost Story, Fist of Legend, Tai Chi Master, and some Stephen Chow comedies, if you like his highly repetitive style.

Can someone help me? I'd like to get into a lossless music tracker like Pedro's and maybe something more inclusive like what.cd or mutracker. I'd also like to get into something for ebooks in case libgen goes down, and of course some /film/ approved trackers.
Can we start our own tracker? I've been meaning to do this for years but have never gotten around to it
