I went to go see this movie for a different reason than why everyone else went. I have for 20 years, with 1 exception, skipped or dropped any anime associated with Yasuomi Umetsu. I showed up for Virgin Punk because it's titled Clockwork Girl.

I've been writing a clockwork girl novel for 15 years
Virgin Punk: Clockwork Girl

I went to see it before it left the theater after tonight. I had a great time, and I watched all of it... when everyone left I had the theater to myself for an hour.

I also went back to my favorite Chinese buffet for the first time since I'd stopped going in 2020.

Random discovery:

Viki’s been out of the anime game for over a decade now, but for some reason they still have the rights to OZMA. Never got an EN home video release and CR’s stream expired years ago, so if you’re desperate to see Matsumoto’s last anime, Viki it is.

I'll keep this movie off my anime viewing thread

Boogiepop and others (2000)

I'll say this for it... it's kinda weird that I own this, and even more weird that I've watched it a 2nd time... Boogiepop has some kind of aura about it I guess. I figured, I've rewatched the anime today, might as well.

Last night I ended up watching a war movie as one of my friends is a bit of a war history enthusiast and we passed a film and he said... they made a movie about this? and I said I'll skip Star Trek for this.

I saw Lost Bus last night and while I don't think it's the best movie Matthew McConaughey has ever been in, I do think this is some of his best performance work... he slides into a role here that is nothing like his Hollywood persona and pulls off a 'disappearing' act without ever going offscreen.

I figured since there's a new TRON movie out I'd take this opportunity to rewatch Tron and Tron Legacy. I'd seen both of them once before; Tron was another film I heard about as a kid that got nixed at home, so I watched it after college. The 2 movies fell flat the 1st time, but today I loved them.

Just saw an anti-antifa shit with a hammer and sickle? that ain't Antifa, that's just 'anything whites don't like is Communism'

Tulips, windmills, wooden shoes and dykes is what Antifa looks like.

I grew up reading Journey through the Night by Anne Devries and The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom.

Look for?

Ctrl-F :then type 'ntp-compose-entrypoint' in the search bar.
Oh wow, Google is really sneaky with their AI Mode button on the new tab page in Chrome. Here's a very unintuitive way to disable it.

1. Open chrome://flags/ in your browser.
2. Look for "ntp-compose-entrypoint".
3. Switch to "disabled".
4. Restart your browser.

30 minutes to get to the bane of my childhood. Asking for a toy, not getting toy, asking again, and being accused of idolatry because I do want the toy.

Always followed by... we didn't know you wanted that, why didn't you ask before we got you something else?

I started collecting Magic the Gathering Cards this weekend, and based on how many youtube videos I've watched and price checks I've done I'm realizing if I'm not careful this will quickly become expensive. Right now I'm just in the obsessive compulsive phase of taking a quick* look.

Me watching Queen Millennia... ooh, cool car... I wanna make a Futuron version---wait...

I should make it just exactly the same so everyone who is currently watching Queen Millennia knows what it is.

Maybe I will make a Futuron version, or even a Blacktron version later.

I started playing Shadow of the Colossus in late 2008.

Tonight I finally managed to grab onto a Hawk and get flown around in the game... for the first time. I wasn't sure how it's done, but... I stood on Agro standstill and just waited till a Hawk checked me out and got it on the 2nd jump attempt.

Every time I come back to 'Parade' by SoftBallet I get so into it.
Straight up Gothic Vampire Pop music. What's the translation, is it even gothic vampire pop music or something else? I don't know... but my eardrums are singing.

I've played 9 hours of Fate/Hollow Ataraxia. I'm getting its structure, and I really like it. It has a couple 4 day loops selecting pieces to read 1st/2nd/3rd, then a major chapter entry, and then more loops with new entries to read.
It feels exactly like Fate/Stay Night, with amplified comedy.
