…I should watch all the Milla movies again.

Just Game Boy’s Gaiden someday & revisit Operation Raccoon City(did I ever beat?) - both non-canon - and Village’s dlc which I’ll get to soon + is technically timeline after Requiem anyway.

2 more CG movies, and beyond that just the Japanese stage plays and various novels & comics I haven’t read…

Makes me want infinite time to deep dive filmographies.

This is pretty early Maggie Q and Michelle Monaghan, Simon Pegg just after Shaun of the Dead.

Had trouble even placing Billy Crudup despite this being just a couple years before Watchmen - though I guess he’s mostly a big blue CG dude there.

Doesn’t help doing like 4 REs in a row now.

Free from that I’ll likely go back to a 2-3 game rotation.

Short ones play through over a few nights.

>10 hours I’ll cycle at Act breaks, 3 or 4 week-long sessions with clear narrative stop is more enjoyable than powering through or pausing per chapter.

So thinking instead of 1 every day for another year and a half, might watch a full Rangers season then break for a show or two, keeping schedule with new releases.

20+ episode shows, especially hour ones, may consider splitting at their mid-season break for a 2 or 3 show cycle every couple weeks.

Will probably keep to 2-ish X-Men at bedtime because if I stop that completely cold I’ll be reading them the rest of my life.

Beyond that every novel or reading order is way smaller & I’d likely break them even further to volumes that take maybe a couple weeks, and rotate.

Hit a continuity lull in Top Cow & Valiant to full stop & Spawn is enjoyable a couple chapters 2-3 times a day.

Surely will need breaks for variety or a priority new Spidey, etc. but 4-6 a day would be 4-6 months on each of these 20+ year continuities than 2+ years inching through all 3 of them.

Much as I hate to binge at a rapid speed from initial release pace of art, aside missing the excitement of near-dead social discussion between parts it really is better for focus & narrative retention of the entire piece after the fact than spending time w/ a half dozen different things over a day.

Crazy realization to me is Sherry Birkin.

6 years older than partner Jake is.

I was still pretty young when the original games released, so it never registered that irl time she’s a year older than me and about to hit 40.

Nothing against reacting professionally, different time/place might do it myself.

But can’t imagine on-camera piecing additions together with no prior experience of works. Good stories don’t require in-order continuity to engage, but feels like forming opinions to prequels w/ 0 Star Wars awareness.
