It's an interesting phenomenon when I find myself thinking a lot more about a middling (or even bad) movie than some great movies, because said movie contributes heavily to the overall aesthetic cohesion for whatever niche subgenre it is a part of.

I dig the short as a someone who grew up with the franchise, but it's so funny seeing all these horrifically traumatized victims of war flying by with inspirational music acting like they're absolutely stoked to be Gundam pilots for the sake of our entertainment.

I've gotten dramatically less cynical as I've aged. I used to *hate* so many things, I think it made me "look smart". But now I am kind of enamored by most art because I always approach it with the stance of "Art existing is a miracle, and the people who make it are incredible for even trying."

A massive loss for horror today. He had such a wide reaching influence on contemporary j-horror, RIP.

Kamen Rider on Motorcycle = Boring Kamen Rider on Jet Ski = AWESOME!!!

Just finished the game "Mixtape" which released today. It's a work of art. A creative, breezy ~3 hour experience that hits powerful emotional highs with a cast of characters I grew very attached to. The highest of recommendations from me.

"Star Fox Adventures" being my favorite game in the series is suffering. 64 is a great game, but damn man gimme another immersive adventure game in that universe, I am begging. (still excited though, I'm just glad the franchise isn't dead)

My uncontroversial "Star Wars" opinion is that every single horrific misstep was worth it, since it all led to "Andor" existing.

Thinking about the fight scene near the end of "The Protector" where Tony Jaa just continues to break the bones of literally like 50 dudes in a row.

I'm so, so down for the concept of "what civilians in the RE universe have to deal with". RE7 is one of my favorites in the series, and this feels more akin to that game.

Horror of Godzilla # 1 variant cover I did for Toho / @idwpublishing.com !

On an intense martial arts kick right now and I've rewatched the trailer for "The Furious" like 10 times now. Goddammit why do I have to wait until JUNE to see it!?

Did the "About Me: Anime" thing. I'm preemptively sorry about my FMA opinions.

I'm sure the Mario Galaxy movie will effectively amount to an hour and a half of shallow key jangling, yet I will see it tomorrow and probably enjoy it anyway because I'm just happy to hang out in that world. I engage with enough meaningful art, I deserve to indulge in a little trash as a treat.

I've sat on it a bit, and this might be a bold claim, but I strongly feel Chainsaw Man is close to the modern day equivalent of Devilman or Evangelion. Both in in a thematic/character study sense, and in the way it escalates and ends. I feel Part 2 and it's ending will be re-evaluated with time.

Chainsaw Man is over :) aftermath.site/chainsaw-man-p...

"Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie" is an achievement. Pure joy and creativity, the kind of movie that reinvigorates your creative drive.

People are being very normal about the new Chainsaw Man chapter. I really like the direction this is taking from a character perspective. Holding bigger thoughts to see what the final chapter ends up being, and if there will be a part 3, but I am very here for what happened in this weeks chapter.

Doing the 9 favorite video games thing.

About to start my third playthrough of Resident Evil 9, and my hyperfixation of the Resident Evil franchise has been reinvigorated with a burning hot intensity.

I recently endeavored to watch every Sam Raimi movie that I hadn't seen. My biggest takeaway is that we don't talk about "The Quick and the Dead" nearly enough.

every shot-on-video, made-with-a-camcorder horror movie that's just some teenage friend group fucking around in the woods with some fake blood and a monster mask contains more artistic merit, human joy and creative light than anything AI has ever made or will ever, ever make

I had a vision.

Romeo is a Dead Man is bringing me a level of joy I haven't felt in months. Suda 51, my king, he's done it again.

Thinking about that scene in Wolfenstein 2 where you are in a meeting with Hitler and he is a frail piece of shit who is just pissing, vomiting, and coughing all over himself.

Ghost Rider should, by every metric, be a bigger deal.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Gunhed (1989) We just don't see movies do "real robot" style mecha like this very often. Despite being light on substance, it knocks it out of the park immensely hard with it's visual identity. One that was so striking for it's time, that it's a clear point of influence for many iconic franchises.

Demo was fantastic, cannot wait for the full release. As a game, extremely addicting and left me wanting more. As an experience, rides a fine line between goofy, compelling, and creepy. Perfectly evocative of the era it's replicating.

Me, a fool - "I really wish I had the foresight to have bought Gundam Wing on blu-ray for my collection, I kinda wanna watch that soon" *Looks up prices on ebay* I place a curse upon Crunchyroll's entire bloodline for buying out Rightstuf.

It's been over half a year since I lost my job of 10 years as a System Administrator through mass layoffs. I have sent hundreds of apps, and only gotten a mix of ghosted or rejection. I'm honestly at my wits end, it's so debilitating. Even with my experience, I can't even get one interview.

I actually enjoyed the Stranger Things finale, but I'm using this post anyway so I can rep one of my favorite shows of all time, "Mr. Robot".

Year is coming to a close, so here's my favorite movies to release in 2025. I have yet to watch a few notable ones, so this could always change, but this is where I stand now.

Crazy that table tennis has two incredible works of art associated with it with "Ping Pong The Animation", and now "Marty Supreme".

Always one of my favorite end of year videos, never fails to have at least a few movies I hadn't seen/heard of in here. Amazing stuff.

CHAINSAW MAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!✌️ #chainsawman

The highly unserious dilemma of whether I want to log all the crummy Christmas movies on Letterboxd that I am unwillingly exposed to via family members having them on passively in the background.

"KINKI (2025)" - Koji Shiraishi Properly chilling blend of supernatural investigation and found footage. Loved the use of differing formats and time periods for each found footage piece. Very unnerving stuff in here. An incredible companion piece for Shiraishi's other standout work, Noroi.

Returned from visiting relatives to a pretty exciting haul. Particularly stoked about the VHS tape containing Alan Wake's Night Springs episode segments.

People say "touch grass" but I chose to touch sand instead.

Maybe the most excited I've been to dig into a collection of movies on a boutique release.

My woodbook edition of Hundreds of Beavers is probably my favorite release in my physical media collection. A 5/5 movie with a uniquely on brand special edition. The slipcover is made of actual wood, it rules.

Monthly Halloween 84 December 1990

"Routine" is incredible. A rare horror game that truly unnerved me. With an environment so meticulously framed and lit that every moment of this experience leaves an impression. A honed aesthetic that makes expert use of tactile analog tech and liminality both in service of gameplay and identity.
