Back on Twitter, I started to post about some somewhat obscure films I love. At first it was just to pass the time until I started doing it every Sunday and realized it should've been a thread. So I'm just gonna continue that here but fix that one mistake.
A roundabout way to say that Perfect Art is also (very) rarely great art.

The best thing about that DQ7 remake is that it will likely lower the price of a PS1 copy of the original. See guys, remakes can be good and necessary.

"Go back and play Morrowind and tell me that’s the game you want to play again," said Bruce Nesmith, who worked for Bethesda for over 17 years, adding that playing The Elder Scrolls 3 "would not stand the test of time." https://bit.ly/4q4GoKh

As a proud hater of TV, let it be known that one of the best things about the start of a new year is the start of a new season of the absolutely hilarious British game show WILTY (Would I Lie To You).
And huzzah, it's only 30 minutes long. None of that hour long episode garbage.

I say this as not the biggest Carpenter fan, but he's absolutely right, Fuck the haters.
ESCAPE FROM L.A. is much better than NEW YORK and is top 3 Carpenter along with THEY LIVE and STARMAN.

TIL that gonads is the gland that helps in the development of your sex organ and not just a funny word for ballz that stuck around. Also that it's present in women's body. So yes, women have gonads.

Alright, I'm just gonna get this out of my system;
Stop reposting that video of the Minnesota woman getting killed. I don't fucking need to see it and neither does anyone else. We got the details of her killing and that should be enough, anything is borderline pornographic.

Hot Take of the Century;
Berserk 97, to the point that I've next to no interest in reading the manga. The story is done and no amount of extra lore/world building would compell me to keep going.

Rewatched L'Eclisse after God knows how many years and yeah, everything I said still stands.
The easiest way to guarantee someone becomes a cinephile is to show them the last 10 minutes of L'Eclisse.
It's one of those moments that exists outside the boundaries of human vocabulary, the kind of stuff that opens your third eye.

In 1989, French newspaper Libération asked 700+ filmmakers from around to answer just one question: "Why do you film?", the answers they received varied from several pages long to just a few words, here's some of them.

Predict my ass, everything "foretold" in MGS2 was already present in older cyberpunk media. And some of them aren't even that obscure (Serial Experiements Lain, Neuromancer).
Stop stroking this hack's ego, especially when it concerns a bad game he made 20+ years ago.
