Picked up The First Slam Dunk as a $10 blind buy. Haven’t watched or played basketball in probably 15 years, and my first exposure to the Slam Dunk series.

This thing had me glued to the screen and cheering for a high school basketball game like I was really there. Highly recommended.

Super Mario Bros. (1993). What a glorious dumpster fire of a movie. I remember when this looked fancy and futuristic to my shitty kid brain back in the day. Loved it then, and for very different reasons, still love it now.

Just went to a showing of Johnny Mnemonic in Black & White. Never seen the original, but this was incredible. It has Dolph Lundgren as a cyborg Jesus assassin that screams “Jesus Time!” & crucifies Henry Rollins. It looked fantastic in B&W too. Loved every second. 5 out of 5, no notes.

Virtuosity (1995) was extremely entertaining! Ridiculous CGI, Russell Crowe playing a cackling psycho, and Denzel Washington has a macguffin metal arm. If you think about any point of the story for more than two seconds, it makes no sense. Pure movie logic all the way through.

I went into Undefeatable blind, thinking it was just going to be a cheesy martial arts movie with Cynthia Rothrock, and that would have been more than enough.

I was very wrong! Definitely one of the best I’ve seen from Vinegar Syndrome. Looks fantastic in 4k too. Highly recommended.

Drive (1997). Terrible dialogue, no chemistry b/w the leads, excellent action sequences, and a 30+ minute inconsequential subplot in the middle with Brittany Murphy as a bugs bunny-esque hornball. Highly recommended, especially for any fans of the masterpiece that is Double Team (1997).

This movie stars Elliot from E.T. in a spy movie where he has an Atari game with government secrets on it. Grown men chase him around with guns and try to murder him.

I went into it expecting “so bad it’s good” because it’s on Vinegar Syndrome, but it’s actually just fantastic and rules.

Picked up some more movies, all of them for 50% off or more. Only one not a blind buy was AAWIL. The Long Kiss Goodnight was crazy good. New favorite Shane Black movie. Ticks (starring Seth Green & Alfonso Ribiero) was super fun too!

Really looking forward to Doom Generation & Nowhere.

Big fan of this scene where someone very clearly throws a tumbleweed into the shot.

Picked up this extremely excessive Frank Capra boxset for cheap. Just watched It Happened One Night for the first time, and it was real damn good.

Took the plunge on a 65” LG C4 OLED TV about a month ago, and it’s been incredible. Finally moving over to 4k blu rays now too, and these are some of my recent buys.

No idea why Heathers and Bloodsport didn’t release in the US, but stoked to watch them with the fancy new 4k transfers!

#Blutoid

Watched The Blob (1988) for the first time tonight, and it absolutely rules. Super fun movie starring Johnny Drama from Entourage.

Got a Rhythmatica TDC10 drum controller for $50 used on ebay, and it surprisingly works! Gave it a test run, but going to finally try to get into my first Taiko no Tatsujin tomorrow (when it’s not 10pm).

#Blutoid

They did at least disable folks from purchasing games with known compatibility issues in the eShop.

Finally played Thank Goodness You’re Here, and it was fantastic! Haven’t laughed that much at a game since West of Loathing.

Just got my copy of Pants World by Josh Mecouch (aka Mr. Joshua), and it’s incredible! Super high quality all around, and really well curated. I’m going to be rereading this thing till my eyes give out.

I recently found out that you can increase the game speed in Balatro, and it has been an absolute game changer. I’m now up to 5 gold stakes completed as a direct result.

Got something incredible in the mail today.

Biannual reminder that Extreme Job (2019) is a 10/10 movie. It’s the perfect buildup of goofy comedy meets unexpected action. I love it unconditionally.
