Only partially through this video, but it's great so far and I want to use it as a jumping off point to preach the brilliance of Remedy's connected universe. Alan Wake 2 is firmly one of my favorite games. It wears it's influences so confidently on it's sleeve, without smothering it's own identity.

I've always been a huge fan of the 4k UHD format, but when I watch black and white movies in 4k (currently, Seven Samurai) it feels like these in particular are what the format was made for. The contrast created with light and shadow in these films, with the addition of HDR, always blows me away.

My movie club made me watch "Master of Disguise" this week. I sent them this as my review.

My new no context, no spoiler theory from the latest #chainsawman chapter is that since Chainsaw Man takes place in the late 90's, Mario 64 definitely released recently in that world considering the brief appearance of a certain devil.

David Lynch: "The thing that kills me is that the murder of Laura Palmer was never supposed to be solved." #TwinPeaks

The single coolest thing you can give a mech is a pile bunker. Nothing sicker than a punch that punches even harder.

I really -really- need to see more proper samurai films. With the interests I have, frankly, it's embarrassing how uneducated I am on this subject. The Criterion sale has me eyeballing a bunch of the Kurosawa 4k releases right now...

Back on the general #2025watches thread. "Predator: Killer of Killers (2025)" Wanted to check this out before for Badlands and was very surprised at just how incredibly cool this was. Brisk, engaging stories in three different time periods dealing with various Predator threats.

Celebrating my birthday a bit late since my wife was busy the day of, and she got me a Godzilla cake! My boi is looking like the Hannah Barbara version which cracks me up.

I ordered it a bit too late for Halloween, but I'm still stoked to have just received my copy of "Trick or Treat with Reed Richmond" from @chrislamartina.bsky.social . Might hold off and save this one for next year, but I adore WNUF and Halloween Mega Tape so I'm excited to check it out when I do.

Giallo night on #TheLastDriveIn hell yeah, two movies I haven't seen, let's go! #MutantFam

I specifically held off on watching Kill Bill for my entire adult life because I hit a point where I wanted my first experience to be this version of the movie. I finally gave in and watched them a few months ago because my wife wanted to watch them with me and I figured it'd never release...

⛓️🪚Chainsaw Man - Don't Open It 🪚⛓️

We're socialized to constantly apologize for being too outwardly excited about things, but this world is so full of terror and misery that I'd rather see those bursts of light and passion shine through the cracks wherever you can find them.

The first episode of Pluribus is really messing me up as someone who has contamination OCD. Hoo boy. Very affecting premise so far though, Vince still got it.

Vampires live for centuries then go and think anagrams are the most clever trick one can pull.

I'm still absolutely *livid* he was left out of the "In Memoriam" segment of the Oscars that year. Can't believe it's been a year already, dude was a legend.

Gremlins 3 is back in the news, so I'm bringing this one back. Gremlins 2 is one of the greatest sequels of all time, ignoring the satirical direction would be such a bummer. 2 commented on corporate franchising, extend that and have this new one talk about the value of human made art.

This, and the VA and NJ governor flips. It's genuinely nice to not feel absolutely fucking miserable on an election night for once. Goddamn.

There are four works of fiction that will forever remain core to my identity and molded me and my tastes into who I am. - Twin Peaks - Metal Gear Solid - Godzilla - Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann I love many things deeply, but not in the same way. Feeling like Chainsaw Man will join that list as well.

Thinking about this scene in Zone Fighter Episode 21 where Godzilla randomly pops up, hauls ass, does a dorky pose, then beats the ever-loving shit out of this tentacle monster.

Today's my birthday, which means it's that time of the year I get to joke about how I'm annoyed I barely missed being born on Halloween or Godzilla's birthday, but opted to pop out on election day. Anyway, everyone's legally mandated to watch a Godzilla movie. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

It is genuinely incalculable just how influential Xiao Xiao 3 specifically was to fueling my unbridled love for martial arts cinema.

In honor of #GodzillaDay, here's what I consider to be one of the greatest scenes in all of cinema from Godzilla Final Wars.

Happy Godzilla Day! ☢️ My big baby boy is 71 today.

Real talk, Minus One is awesome and I will undoubtedly see and enjoy this, but I want Toho to give me some "vs." movies again. Obviously the American films have occupied the "goofy" Godzilla space, but I miss Toho goofiness. I also know the G-Fest shorts exist and are cool, but I want a movie!

My October Blu-ray/4k pickups. Absolutely stoked there is finally an Edgerunners set, and a very nice one at that.

Photon-Man vs. The Black-Hole Monster! #kaiju #tokusatsu #mecha

Is Dinovember a thing? Might lightly check out a chunk of dinosaur games and movies for the hell of it.

I know a lot of horror fans post Halloween can enjoy a bit of a break, but I get some hardcore blues once we start to leave the season. I'm not 100% horror all the time myself, but everyone being on the same wavelength for a month for one of my major special interests is always such a good time.

My mom sent me a (fairly blurry) pic of me dressed as a California Raisin for Halloween when I was 6 years old. Honestly, I peaked here I think.

Candy bowl? Filled ✅ Pumpkins? Lit ✅ Horror movie? On ✅ Haunted House tickets with the squad tonight? Booked ✅ It's Halloween time, baby.

🔪🎃💀🧹 Happy, Happy Halloween! 🧹💀🎃🔪

Did I name my Pokémon team entirely after characters from J-horror franchises this year? You've already guessed the answer.

🔪🎃💀🧹 Happy, Happy Halloween! 🧹💀🎃🔪

Absolutely losing my mind at the low poly Chucky from these insane album commercials. (Big flashing lights warning) youtu.be/t0OantUSsUo

"Out There Halloween Mega Tape (2022)" Joyously silly follow-up to the equally great "WNUF Halloween Special" which similarly mimics a public access television Halloween special for a fake small town in the 90's. High levels of commitment to the bit and perfect Halloween time comfort food.

Fuck it, seeing the Chainsaw Man movie again in about an hour. Screen X format this time since they apparently animated bespoke scenes for that format.

Spotify should make it so if you try to stream this song before November 1st it just closes and auto plays a random movie from Tubi's horror category.

Hedorah the Smog Monster (Godzilla vs. Hedorah - 1971) #hedorah #godzilla #smogmonster #godzillavshedorah #kaiju

Been waiting a literal decade for this game, and it just so happens to release on the the same day as Metroid Prime 4, another game I've been waiting a literal decade for. Fuck. But damn does this look so sick.

#Hooptober 12 Film 31/31: "Cure (1997)" Throbbing, sinister energy. Burrows into you, grabs hold of the underlying anger within us, and doesn't let go. A cursed movie if I've ever seen one which lulls you into a trance. Evil, evil movie. A masterpiece. boxd.it/bwrVbv #horror #filmsky

Time to finally see what the hubbub is with this one. Been sitting on it for quite some time.

#Hooptober 12 Film 30/31: "Tales of Halloween (2015)" A very fun anthology movie that emanates strong Halloween spirit and is a proper silly good time. Perfect movie leading up to the holiday. Would make a great double feature with Trick 'r Treat. boxd.it/bw0fUz #horror #filmsky
