    Everything Video Games!

    Got a little juice out of my neglected Game Pass this weekend. Figured I should tackle a few titles before the launch of BHVR/Supermassive's The Casting of Frank Stone today. Knocked out Still Wakes the Deep which was pretty dang cool. I didn't find the story too surprising (it's basically a...

    6th Annual N&G 31 Days* of Halloween (2024)

    Picked something low stakes from my watchlists while I multitask. Old People is a perfectly fine background watch. Unsurprising and a little heavy-handed, yet competently made. 💀💀💀

    Getting back into my mode of subtitled movies on weekends. Kicked yesterday off with action comedy Mad Cats. As a huge fan of madcap action comedies like Kung Fu Hustle, I actually wasn't hooked on this one. I spent much of the runtime recalling how I've gotten more amusement out of other...

    Y'all! This book is so fucking fun. Super curious to see how the adaptation turns out. R rating def gives me hope they don't hold back because for a YA novel it was rather gruesome. https://bloody-disgusting.com/movie/3828187/clown-in-a-cornfield-movie-adaptation-rated-r-for-bloody-horror-violence/

    Thank you for your service! The HoopTober challenge will be posted on Letterboxd tomorrow and usually starts ~Sep. 15, and I've already been earmarking several movies I intend to watch throughout spooky season. Having the N&G thread gives me plenty of reason to watch stuff that doesn't fit the...

    Post-Rock Will Never Die, But You Will... (The Post-Rock Thread)

    Pelican's new album is gonna be 🔥🔥🔥! They just played it front to back for an intimate hometown crowd before hitting the studio to record this Sunday. Super upbeat and energetic. Found myself grinning constantly.

    Wild to think Alien: Romulus was originally destined for direct to streaming. I do think streamers need to step their game up on quality original exclusives, but this is definitely one of those made-for-the-big-screen movies...

    I saw some (unofficial) Alien chronology graphic the other day that included Blade Runner on it just for time context. I'd buy it! Honestly the more me and the roomies have discussed Alien Romulus, the more the underutilized the synthetics seem to be. It might be one of the biggest flubs of the...
