With how online patching wasn't really a thing back on the PS1, and revisions were usually silent, small details, missed a step upon seeing the transformation this infamous room from the original Resident Evil 1 got for the later Director's Cut release.

Wait, what's the title of this movie?

Considering how intimidating their webs look, you'd think yellow garden spiders would have a more appropriately gnarly name.

As someone who caught it again last night, I can vouch that seeing it today is the best time to do so - what a picture. Enjoy your trip to the cinema!

And the design - Gaia ironically 'united under one roof' formed from a melange of World's Fair exhibitions. See touches of Montreal's Biosphere, various Industrial Crystal Palaces. Even nods towards NY's illuminated cables, lights now vertically stretched over the structure between land and sky.

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. Avoiding the (admittedly) most iconic shot, but I had to pick the one closest to my heart. As more time passes, can't help but uncover new details and nuance in the imagery, composition. Reactions vary, but I wish all films today had such 'cinema' aspirations.

And last (but not least) is Mars, a Whitest Kids U'Know animated feature film that premiered at Tribeca last year. Less 'animated' than a lot of other AnimEigo releases, but very much carrying that mid-oughts WKUK sense of humor.

3rd announcement is for - and this is absolutely bonkers - Big Boobs Busters. Trust me when I say it has an amazing trailer. Tagline: "Just because you have small boobs doesn't mean you have a small heart."

2nd Announcement is for Alien Nine. "A sports anime in the spirit of Gundam 0080" - Justin Sevakis

1st Announcement is Hotori, which is a Sunrise short that has NEVER gotten a home media release - not even in Japan. Hell of a cold-open.

Lotta the usual anime BlueSky suspects are already starting to gather for the 1-2 punch of AnimEigo and Discotek right after.

And I do mean absolutely chibi. Firetruck pic is me standing beside for scale, and the banana cruiser at the end? That's me crouching

Nestled in the back of the gaming hall, beside the usual rogues gallery of Anime Waifu cars, a can't miss collection of tiny Japanese cars & trucks. Absolutely adorable, 11/10.

Arrived at the Otakon, feel free to say hello if you see me!

Really happy I made it out for the end of night screening of the new restoration of Shall We Dance? at the AFI Silver. Still wondering who is going to put this out on a 4K disc here in the States...

Falling in just beneath the mean, with a score of 45. In my defense, got caught by a few technicalities (put von Ronsenberg of Dalmasca! vs. fon Ronsenburg, aced the non-scored airship names at the end, etc), but it was a good test.

The music examples the real test however. So many FF spinoffs...

Can't believe I'll finally be sitting down to catch In the Mood for Love in a couple hours. 25 years of waiting about to pay off!
July 7, 2025 at 6:36 PM
As if nabbing a launch Switch 2 wasn't good enough, pulled the legendary "Nice" edition tonight!

Best of luck to everyone else, may fortune smile upon your Nintendo quest.

Halfway through the Korean 1997 film The Contact (same year as the Zemeckis-Foster film Contact unfortunately, ruining the casual searchability on the English-speaking web) which is pitch perfect. Feels so conversant with today

Sometimes I forget you can simply push play on a film you want to watch

Why wait to inherit a movie theater when you can screen a double-feature today, now?

Oppenheimer and Shin Godzilla.

Jump back to the original sin, witness the doomsday device’s timer get set during World War II.

Cut forward to now, watch as the apocalyptic chain reaction finally goes off.

FTR, it was remade with most of the same staff, just in color, with SNES-level graphics, several new quality of life features (like being able to see what that Meat will transform you into, still no stats shown :P ), even cutscenes and some balance changes. Big upgrade while being very faithful.
