Who would’ve thought that a mash-up between “Last Christmas” by Wham! and “Your Song” by Elton John would inspire yet another experiment in bizzarely entertaining hard-hitting martial arts action shortfilm thrills by Vlad Rimburg?… The answer: Vlad Rimburg.

The Hit List back for another week of impressive finds from around the world in stunt performance and indie action short content. This was particularly down to the wire as I fell short on time a bit but I’m happy to have pulled through on this some.
The next three or four weeks will determine if another installment of The Hit List will arise another two weeks from now. I sort of have a thing going and so my time might be a little more preoccupied and may vary in terms of what I normally cover on this site so, as always, it’s a wait and see.
The Hit List has taken a pretty interesting turn of late now that I actually get to host some video files on behalf of creators. It’s a blessing and I’m real thankful to those of you investing in my own YouTube channel to share your craft.
Among today’s crop of action talent, some fans who follow the genre on the big and small screen will know who fight coordinator and choreographer Vlad Rimburg (Contour, Osu, Unlucky Stars, Lucifer) is, and the work he’s accomplished since picking up a camera at the turn of the century; Stunt performer and independent filmmaker Emmanuel Manzanares made a multiple references to the internet action favorite in our interview last week.
Well, at least YouTube made progress in fixing its search functions, so I can look for videos more optimally again. Despite this, however, I’m still sticking to a bi-weekly format after this while trying to find other ways to present content for readers. That’s not an April Fools’ jab by the way.
I can’t even sum up my weekend, save for the fact that like most of my weekends, it wasn’t a weekend, really. It never really is, to be honest… oh well.
One of these weekends I’m just gonna have to steal one for myself if I can help it. (P.S. – Literally be ready for anything when riding New York City transit. And I mean anything.)
Two more weeks until the holidays! Have you guys laid out Christmas plans yet? I have, and if I’m fortunate then they’ll mostly include sleep.
It’s a Saturday as I’m writing all of this and putting it together, so take in my pre-dated cohesive grammar skills because by Sunday, if I’m writing, I’ll be dead tired AF.
I’m actually kind of glad November is here as it actually feels like things might slow down a bit with the holidays near. Plus, I’m looking toward this Friday or Saturday for some fun stuff as well so, fingers crossed.
As you’re reading this, it’s a Saturday evening and all I can do is ponder the updates to come what with other drafts still pending in my repetoire at the moment.
A fever kicked my butt again over the weekend but I was lucky to be on the better end of it by Monday to get this week’s Hit List done!..
The good news is I’m getting back a little bit more into a steady viewing of anime. Finished season 3 of My Hero Academia and caught up with the latest in the Silver Soul arc of Gintama, plus I’ve just started picking back up on features I’ve been missing out on so expect some more reviews if possible.
Apart from working on The Hit List and other content, Bleach pretty much took the brunt of my attention over the weekend and I have no regrets. I love that movie to bits.
