he went outside dressed like that, bless his heart he was feelin himself

Me if I was in a Kiyoshi Kurosawa film: can you speak up a little please? We can't deal with the crushing weight of being known and knowing others if I can't hear you. Also my friend, you know the missing one? He showed me a cool website you check out.

I'm deeply fascinated by the Mario anniversaries, and this was a lovely deep dive. Personally loved the 35th anniversary, even though they made some boneheaded decisions in retrospect. (Release Mario 35 as a full game and add other game types, you cowards!) Can't wait to finish this ep later today!

Random Odyssey thoughts: “in a time of apparent magic” is really funny when Circe is just straight up working the freakiest shit Nolan’s done since the Scarecrow fear toxin, and when Leguizamo tossed that puppy over the cliff someone in the audience screamed like we were watching a horror movie

Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s recurrence of passive suicide. Disassociating out of life, fading into malaise or thin-air apathy. Giving up without actually hurting yourself. Self-harm as simply slipping into intangibility.

Ugh, the original Serpent’s Path is sooooooooooo fucking good. Absolutely one of my favorites of his.

Images from the films of Kiyoshi Kurosawa - BOTD in 1955 Even in his non-horror films, Kurosawa is fond of shots where the audience has to strain to make out the details Pulse (2001) Tokyo Sonata (2008) Journey to the Shore (2015) Creepy (2016)

We are the words “I love you”, and the hope that people may learn to one day understand each other.

I have a lot of back and forths about The Odyssey but the Zendayathena reveal almost sent me through the fucking ceiling and I’m gonna be thinking for a long time about how Nolan just made it a prequel to Oppenheimer. The Trojan Horse is the atom bomb. This too is atomic horror.

I understand that it sucks to have to read a book you didn't choose as a kid but when people are like 40 and still going, "well assigned reading turned me off from reading" it's like, ok but you're 40. No one has assigned you a book in like 20 years.

The National Film Awards in India awarded this best feature in 1960. In 2026, they awarded a pro-regime propaganda film about how Kashmir deserved to be stripped of its autonomy. & the Bengal Ray portrays so beautifully here is under fascist Hindutva rule. A heavy pang seeing these beautiful stills.
