It’s quite possible that I’ve listened to the soundtrack to this several times already in anticipation of this (re)watch.

Anyway, @arrowvideo.bsky.social’s 4K UHD restoration releases next Tuesday, 11/11, so expect my review by then. #ArrowVideo #TheMask

The gall, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, to be sending out fundraising texts (never given to y’all before) when doing the absolute LEAST to combat fascism while somehow also holding up outdated Dem ideas.

Y’all are unable to match the moment & funds won’t help.

Do your job or get out of the way.

#MailCall Just received a super cool mailer from @crunchyroll.com in supper of the new #DemonSlayer film, INFINITY CASTLE.

They sent a mini infinity scene featuring lead character Tanjiro Hamada. The film is in theaters now.

Will thread my spoiler-free review below. #DemonSlayer #InfinityCasfle
Image of a letter included with the mailer that includes the logo for the series in the bottom left and main character Tanjiro Hamada on the bottom right mid-swing. The text is small and gold on a black background. It’s very hard to read. Image of a closed device that looks like a screen door used in a Japanese home in the Taishō era. The doors have light coming through them with the shadow of a figure. On the bottom base is the DEMON SLAYER logo. Image of the same device but with the doors open. We can now see that the figure is Tanjiro Hamada in what appears to be a leaping position while swinging his sword. With the lights on, a creates the illusion of infinity behind him. Image of the device with the light off so that we see Tanjiro as before but no infinity behind him. Instead, the photographer’s hands and phone are visible.
