Southland Tales is an utterly delightful drunk watch.

Midsommar was second only to Parasite for my faves. And I’d argue that it stands up to second viewings because of all the foreshadowing and allusions that Aster hides in the paintings, the background, the trees....it took a second viewing to notice the sister popping up in the background 3 more times than I noticed…

I have come to terms with not liking Rian Johnson’s movies. I can see they are well-made and well directed and well acted....I just haven’t liked a single one. Knives Out was enjoyable, but I thought it should have taken it further. It’s interesting that the reviewer made comparisons to more straight mystery movies,…

Huh. I thought the last 30 minutes was the whole thesis of the movie that took 2.5 hours of meandering to pay off at.

Especially towards the beginning when I had to look up that the character was supposed to be in his 20s/early 30s. Yikes.

No Midsommar?

Visions and Art Angels were two of my favorite albums of the last decade, but even the Elon Musk stuff notwithstanding, something has really soured me on Grimes, from some of her weirder public statements/interviews to this conceptual pseudo-D/s bent she’s taken. I’ve been getting my chilly pop music from Georgia this…

Actually, didn’t she say after her last breakup that she did not believe that she could successfully navigate a monogamous relationship?

I think Jost and Johansson are a perfect couple, inasmuch as they believe not so much in centrism, but more that they feel they have earned everything they’ve gotten, and that everyone who criticizes or has some sort of political opinion about their own welfare or safety that won’t affect J&J’s wealth and status are…

Outer WILDS, not Outer Worlds 

I bet anyone $100 all of these women will lose their GOP primaries to a white male.

Maybe edit some of the MASSIVE spoilers for a game less than 6 months old?

Yeah, I think the article is more pointing towards games as a reflection of culture, not games as being influential towards other games.

Lori Maddox was an underage girl who very openly “dated” both Page and Bowie in the 70s. Many many many articles about it, and many contemporaneous photos.

This is almost certainly the reason for the spike.

No crosscode? 

That is exactly the quest that I describe to sell people on the game who haven't played it, and probably the closest quest to the books outside of the DLC

Literally triggered an existential crisis. 

The AM was an amazing, delightful, jaw dropping surprise and I wish I could experience it again for the first time.

Control starts out creepy and unnerving and slowly becomes silly in the best way. Really enjoyable game.
