I watched a TV show!
The Beast in Me (2025) [Netflix]
I love Claire Danes & Matthew Rhys, and any scene they are in is compelling. This feels like top-class tv at times, but honestly cheap & predictable at others. Overall it was good, but regrettably not great.

I watched a movie! #41
🇺🇸 Wicked
🇯🇵 ウィキッド ふたりの魔女
2024 (Prime)
My default mode for musicals is dislike, w/ the possibility of being won over. I hate the unnatural feeling of suddenly singing & joyously dancing just for the sake of it. Wicked mostly felt weird, but ended strongly & had a few good songs.

🇯🇵 地獄星レミナ - 伊藤潤二
🇺🇸 Hellstar Remina - Junji Ito
An evil sentient planet is attacking earth & huge mobs of people blame you! I didn’t love how the story progressed but it was an enjoyable ride. The bonus story 億万ぼっち was great.

This was a great popcorn flick. Decent laughs, action & heart. Just as the credits started rolling & I was thinking “hey I’d watch another one of these”, the sequel popped up to watch next 👍

2025 (Netflix)
Starts off compelling, like an Agatha Christie novel, but just as you start guessing whodunnit they drop the whole explanation on your plate, and it all unravels into something kind of ridiculous. I liked Keira Knightley though.

Colin Farrell’s great & Cristin Milioti is good. Overall it felt a little bloated & slow. Mob movie tropes & unbelievable getaways. Penguin’s a nice guy but don’t forget to sprinkle in him being a total psychopath. I didn’t love it.

Far cry 6 update!
It took a few hours to get a handle on things but this game is fun as hell. Every outpost is a puzzle to unlock with a thousand different solutions (in hard mode most of those solutions result in death).
Great writing. I love Dani singing along to the radio so much.

Decent story & combat (but killing hundreds feels weird). The world is designed beautifully, but also feels empty & the activities rote. The game needs more consequences, like morality, friendship & house points systems.

This story is great
In the end, the company's lawsuit likely cost them some serious time and cash (while generating a bit of unnecessary bad publicity)
10M people watched a YouTuber shim a lock; the lock company sued him. Bad idea.
It’s still legal to pick locks, even when you swing your legs.

Well, with 3 games left in the season, the J-League team I support (Shonan Bellmare) is officially going down to league 2. With something like 20 games without a win it was a miserable fucking season. I can’t say I’ll miss my weekly dose of depression. Maybe J2 will be better?
