Tatsuya Nakadai was one of the best to ever do it. A different, but no less haunting, performance in every role, you'd be searching forever to find a bad one. Unmissable in Hara-Kiri, Ran, The Human Condition, Yojimbo, High & Low, Kill!, and dozens more....

A friend shared this and it's wild. With so many games writers currently looking for work, a place seeking a feature film screenwriter to come in and "adapt screenwriting for interactive storytelling," rather than simply hiring a game writer with interactive storytelling experience feels... 🫠

It'd been a while since I read it, and was in a bit of a creative slump, so I re-read the first six pages of Sam Bosma's Fantasy Sports no. 2, a sort of self-contained short story. I think it is a perfect comic.
(This is page 3, and where it goes in the next three pages is outstanding work.)

Hey #portfolioday I'm James and I'm writer & narrative designer, mostly in games and comics. For the former, I worked on Life Is Strange, South of Midnight, and Take Us North. And for the latter I've gotten an Eisner nomination, written Godzilla, and have a story in the upcoming MonsterVerse book.

I finished Taiyo Matsumoto's TOKYO THESE DAYS this week and I'm still reckoning with it. It broke and mended my heart. A melancholy, cautiously hopeful meditation on the creative process, aging, the distance life and time (and we) put between us and our friends, and finding joy in making things.

Does it count if I include ones I've only seen a few episodes of? Realistically, the ones I've finished are the shorter entries (FMA: Brotherhood, Ping Pong, Eizouken, Tatami Galaxy, Kill La Kill, Space Dandy)...
