This is a must see.The assassination of Jamal Khashoggi has been so skipped by the general reporting of the EA buyout (I don't recall any media other than Eurogamer.es talking about it, but might be wrong) that I almost gaslighted myself into thinking the man behind it was "another saudi prince".
Here’s my breakdown of EA’s pending sale… to Saudi Arabia… and why this is much, much bigger than video games. I’m late to this from a ‘news’ perspective obviously, but it’s because I worked on this video for about a month.

A fantastic choice if you want a tight, 48 minute, vampire action flick for Halloween! Apparently the Japanese language version is hard to stream in the US, but the dub is pretty good, and most of the characters are American!

Whale's films are some of my favorites, and always bring back fond memories of preproduction on ILM's ill-fated Frankenstein digital feature.
