tonight's watch: the acclaimed mauritanian film 'waiting for happiness' by abderrahmane sissako

almost entirely devoid of a plot, we are left to consider themes of identity, community, tradition and emigration, in addition to having much to think about, the film is also pretty and well shot

i have now played the first level of a lot of retro shooters

cultic, amid evil, blood: fresh supply, hrot, ultrakill, dusk, wrath aeon of ruin (technically only the first half of this, i'm like 250 kills in and fucking exhausted, i want the level to end already)

when designing a retro shooter your first and most important task is to design a double barrelled shotgun and the foley for the sound of it firing

tonight's watch: glass onion

some strong character work, some good emotional payout, but ultimately its walking the same path knives out did, and the 'mystery' such as it is, is not compelling

very interesting use of covid though, rarely see a film where it plays such an important role

you know, when your edit adds 1000 characters to an article, an edit description of 'fixed spelling mistake' is not overly believable

cinema before the advent of sound around 1928, and particularly before around 1921ish was so cool and interesting

the conventions we are used to today hadn't crystallised yet, so you just get a lot of out there shit

like, 10 hour movies, 40 minute movies, funky editing etc.
