You're spot-on about Loft. That's a weird one. I'm constantly amused by Kurosawa's range. Bright Future is another noteworthy example of his penchant for the surreal. He also did an oddball slasher film early on: The Guard from Underground. Nothing groundbreaking, but effective. (I snuck a...

Kurosawa is one of my favorite directors alongside Cronenberg, and one of the things that strikes me about both is how they share a fun dichotomy to their oeuvres: the horrors and the dramas. For more Kurosawa scares, I had plenty of fun with Creepy. The subliminal themes take what feels like a...

I got a code to share a free month with a friend instead.

Criterion Channel is streaming a daily selection of free movies through April 14 https://www.criterionchannel.com/free-movie-week

Halfway through based on chapter chapter count, and I'm having a dang good time, especially compared to what all the miserable dog-pilers would have folks believe. Good use of music, great sense of style. I'm sure you'll be happy like me!

Finally making some progress on backlog games. Knocked out Ghostwire: Tokyo and Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 in time to dive into South of Midnight, which releases today! Funnily enough, I never actually played We Happy Few given the overall reception of it despite having Kickstarted the game...

You put it back, right now!

It's looking reeaaally shady.

Honestly, fuck Pokemon Pocket. Made it to Ultra Ball rank and hit a losing streak so bad it knocked me back down to the middle of Great Ball 4.

I had to trade for Mamo. Still missing Lucario. This booster I've got three full art Tatsugiris and no regular. Finally got a Gimighoul today (1 diamond basic)... through a wonderpick. No shinies either.

Insta buy. Maybe this will convince Sony to finally do more with their stranglehold on Bloodborne.

Blew all my new monthly shop hourglasses last night and got just one new card out of it. I'm livid. (Still need 10 more of the new booster regular/Ex cards.)

Was meant to be seeing FKA Twigs for the first time tonight, but alas...

Watched this last night and gave it 1 star. Went now to check my Madame Web rating: 1.5 stars. For a second I doubted my Borderlands rating thinking nah, that can't be right, but after mulling it over I'm sticking to 1 star. Borderlands feels like a bad amalgam of Fifth Element and Tank Girl...

I've been chipping away at Ghostwire: Tokyo and am currently toward the end of Chapter 4 (of 6). Been rather enjoying it, too! It's chock full of optional collection and investigation side quests, and I kind of revel in those. The "urgency" of the main plot is no impediment to me just gliding...
