Watched at the Glendale 12. A bigger, bolder, and bloodier sequel that’s even better than the first one. Has a fantastic villain in Stephen Lang’s Dragonuv.

This is actually as bad as an early 2000s hentai dub.
These AI chodes have been circling anime trade shows for a few years now. Little wonder Amazon was first to bite. 🙄

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them

One scene that really stuck with me from Armored Trooper VOTOMs (even if I haven't finished the series) is the scene where the protag Chirico falls asleep inside of an abandoned rusted Scopedog mech while on the run... It's like the only place really comforting for him is inside a small mech

They weren’t lying: this is even better than the first one. A sequel whose philosophy is go big or go home, as it’s more bloody and gorier and its set pieces escalate in how insane they get. Tommila’s still great, and it has fantastic villains in Stephen Lang and Richard Brake.

This honestly sickens me. The writing is probably on the wall by now, but needing to reassure people that our games are 'AI-free' is depressing as fuck.
For the foreseeable future, I can only hope the quality of our games speaks for itself so we don’t have to turn that into a marketing pitch.

498.) E.T. (1982)
Never seen this movie outside of a vague recollection of a few scenes watched as a 4-year old. So I didn't have any real childhood attachment to this film. Even with that and the "killed him with hammer" post on mind, this beautifully-shot movie got me choked up.

Watched the 4K. A grisly and gritty good time with great set pieces and a grizzled badass lead in Jorma Tommila. One of my favorite action films in recent years.
