Reading up on Grand Theft Hamlet, surprised they sold that as a documentary - the movie would be better off shedding its transparently faux screencapture format altogether and taking advantage of unique form of machinima instead of scattershot overwrought Youtube RP that somehow got a MUBI release.

Wrote a very spoiler-heavy piece about David Lynch's Lost Highway, and my new way of looking at the film, after seeing it on the big screen for the first time. I now believe this is Renee's story, not Fred's. #filmsky letterboxd.com/mastermaster...

Kojima keeps bringing up lately how long he has left, how he'd ideally like to be productive into his 80s like the directors he looks up to, yet the reality of AAA game dev works against him so badly. Ridley Scott can crank out a movie every year, but there's almost 7 year gap between DS1 and 2.

Not-Solid Snake as a horrible spectre of past imperial violence and military culture encroaching upon the new world of Death Stranding a month before Konami delivers reheated leftovers of the MGS3 remake, Kojima does it again

Started watching Kamen Rider Kabuto and a character gets introduced by approaching a dying woman in rubble and comforting her by doing her make up, happy International Women's Day from Toshiki Inoue

MyGO's boldness in creative direction is crazy. Their debut performance at ASL and they decide to perform Senzai Hyoumei to introduce the audience who knows nothing about them before to property know who they are. MyGO's PD fought with ASL PD that they will not show any anime footage too lol

Watched Unforgiven last night in Gene Hackman's honor. Real movie. Clint's commitment to obliterating his screen persona is admirable. The way he slips in that first chug of whiskey without even bringing attention to it in the scene is absolutely diabolical.

Thinking about Caught by the Tides a week later. Stealth sneak into the underappreciated present day cyberpunk genre. Scraps of digital memories coalescing into strange lonely futures.

Good thread here about how selective memefication of MGS2's ending (ironically appropriate for the game's thesis!)
But also, I'd like to spotlight here how MGS4's portrayal of culture and war economy follows up from where MGS2 leaves off. We see exactly what the Patriots' information control means.

ironically, this makes the comments about excessive information on the internet almost the *opposite* of what ended up happening in real life. our world's "Patriots" didn't shut down the tidal wave of slop, they embraced it! they now have machines to churn it out and an economy that rewards it!

Metal Gear Solid 2 is an insanely good game. I'm still turning over that final speech from "Colonel" in my head, though weirdly not for the reasons everyone seems to bring it up

Seek out Japanese art outside of the basic otaku anime-manga-video games sphere as well. Even if just to understand better where the things you love are coming from. And for movies in specific, don't watch just like Godzilla and Battle Royale to say homework's done, be curious a bit.
Friends, I am happy to report that it is #weebwednesday once again, for the first time in a while! You know the drill - quote-post with your weebiest hot takes, nothing racist, nothing intentionally inflammatory, have fun with it ♥

It is so cool how The Matrix being the biggest movie in the world and Oshii getting Western money meant that he could go to Poland and make a languid Tarkovsky homage ran through pre-World of Warcraft MMO.
Also, how The Matrix made Oshii feel insecure but not in a way you'd expect lmao

The more I think about it, the more I think Audrey's storyline might be one of my absolute favorite parts of The Return. There are so many ways to wrap your head around it and it feels like the show doesn't discourage any of them.

Kevin Feige possibly jumping from Marvel as it's going belly up to Star Wars where any incremental improvement will be hailed as miraculous righting the ship. I expected no less from the biggest lucked out to be there hack in Hollywood.
