MasqueradeOverture

I will fucking hate Demon Slayer forever for this trend.

BRO

Yeah I bought tickets to see a 70mm print tonight thinking it was gonna be 50% score thing, but I'm not wasting a trip to the city for FUCKING 9%.

I read that as Fucker Of Doom

My wrapped is skewed since I only use Spotify to make playlists for my radio show, so here's my Albums of the Year as a substitution:

Anime Harley is doing something to me.

The unbelievable amount of great music, film, even gone to a few modern art museums for the first time since ever... it almost offsets the impending damage of A.I. Almost.

I've not played anything since last November. Might pick up Armored Core 6 as an xmas present to myself.

Wha I uh

The Boy and The Heron /10

The Boy and The Heron

DBZ got hit the worst out of literally anything I've ever seen, but it shows up more often than you think (Terminator 2 and American Graffiti's 4k discs are a travesty). Dr. Stone S3 14 - 17

Imagine being on such a moral high horse that you won't shoot NPCs. Imagine.

Napoleon - Entertaining enough but a total mess. Thing goes at 1.5x speed with no intention of properly establishing characters or why anything is happening. Some baffling lines of dialog that are gonna be memed to hell for the next decade. short changed/10. Looking forward to the 4-hour cut. The big gripe I have against the US Godzilla movies is the wasted human story opportunities [Brian Cranston should've spent the rest of GZ '14 trying to exact revenge on GZ dammit]. It's why I found Shin Godzilla (or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Beast) so refreshing in the first place [not discounting all the Anno-isms of course]. Will see Minus One this week.

Aside from the HDR grade (which is nice), the level of detail between the Blu-ray and 4K has actually decreased thanks to aggressive DNR. Dr. Stone S3 E12 - 13

The Rebuild Of Scott Pilgrim 1.11 (completed) It was ok. I liked the new take but the humor was kinda muted. The 5th episode's the best of the bunch. Also Will Forte singing a song from motherfucking Bubblegum Crisis was not something on my bingo book this year.

Napoleon - Wait for the Director's Cut/10

Saltburn - Classic gothic literature for the modern age, but also an affront against God. Emerald Fennell needs Jesus. ???/10

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off 1-2 Ohhhhhhhhh, so THAT's why it's called "Scott Pilgrim Takes Off." ...oh.

Finished Pluto. Enjoyed it but also mildly disappointed. It shows up throughout the series, but that last episode especially was marred by a certain on-the-nose sentimentality that I'm having less and less tolerance for in anime these days.
