This would have been the 5th installment in the series too lmao

74. The Crow (1994)
Everything about it is perfectly balanced to make all of the weird, or grimy, or atmospheric, or campy, or heartfelt, or rough around the edges elements work together so that even the parts that would feel like flaws in other films are part of the charm.
Also it kicks ass.

Something I'm always particularly interested in when I start a new game is how they're going to convince you to keep playing past the certainty of "gacha pull shinier feel good", like what about the game itself is going to make me want to keep investing time.

I keep picking up random ones every now and then because the onboarding process and general design behind gacha games kinda fascinates me but genuinely if play more than one at a time as an actual commitment I start to feel stress on an existential level

Think this guy in taco bell just used the word "yakubian" but I can't be certain

73. I Want to Make the Black Knight Fall in Love With Me! (2024)
Fantasy yuri about a noblewoman marrying the mysterious and scary black knight to try and save her noble status. Mad that publication got cancelled at only 17 chapters even if it wasn't pushing the genre in bold new directions.

72. Egg (2005)
Watched this in like 480p off youtube and it was great. Bizarre lower budget horror movie that I did not want to look away from the whole time. There is no documentation on the creative process behind that I could find which makes it even more fascinating.

71. House on Haunted Hill (1999)
A sort of worse Thir13en Ghosts in a lot of ways, though with a very different premise. Has some fun moments, really cool design for a Evil Entity at the end.

Moon (2009)
Really simple kind of bottle episode of a movie that does the premise well. Has some interesting notes to the concepts it's built on that you might not always expect from stories that do similar things.

Is this equivalent to the amped up dramatic remixes of songs for trailers because I find those exceptionally grating. I remember specifically the Anthem trailer using a remix of Crazy Train that made me feel genuine shock back before this was just also common practice.

The most personally insulted I ever felt in DS2 was managing to run across the entire map of Heide's Tower without fighting anything so I could just focus on the boss, killed the boss, walked up to the top of the tower, and was killed in menus by an enemy that stayed aggro'd to me the Entire Time.

There's a whole genre of canine-adjacent critters that's just "what if you stretched that wolf into some new shapes"

69. Tom Walker's Modded "Fast GTA 4" Expereince (2024)
Even though I only watched the edited down uploads it still felt like a truly compelling journey. One man fighting his way through an unpredictable world, where at any second he could be instantly killed by a car traveling at max speed.

68. Fright Night (2011)
It was alright. Absolutely carried by the cast putting real effort into playing out a campy script, which is the way it should be done tbh.

67. A Better Tomorrow (1986)
Hong Kong action cinema does not miss!! Excited to watch the sequel.

septi @septi.bsky.social · 11d

Naturally building a world around a narrative is rarely easy but it's always really funny to watch someone just go "fuck it here's the stuff I want you to know about world I'm inventing" and just full throttle expositing at the reader.

septi @septi.bsky.social · 17d

EW2 is so slept on it feels like. Banger game.

septi @septi.bsky.social · 20d

Separate service, I don't remember what it was called off hand unfortunately
