MasqueradeOverture

Blonde - A pretentious slog. Listen, I love watching people suffer for three hours, but at least make it not feel like a bunch of scenes barely threaded together. Felt like a low-brow attempt at being high-brow due to how frequently aspect-ratios and shots change (I kid you not, I counted a 10 minute sequence towards the end where it goes from 2.40:1 cinemascope, to a digital-as-fuck lens-flare blown out 16:9 slow-mo tracking shot going in and out of focus like a generic student film, to 4:3 technicolor, to a CGI fetus, to INFRARED, to black & white).

I was fairly more conservative than I am now, but even I knew that shit needed to be nuked into the sun.

Everybody sing along and get re-traumatized: I couldn't wait for you to come clear the cupboards But now you're going to leave with nothing but a sign...

The show was just monologues every 3 minutes about "feeweengs" so personally I won't miss it. BUT this is further proof Zaslav is a threat to the media landscape and the creation of art versus statistical "content."

Blew through it all in two sittings. This show is a masterpiece. Finest anime series of the 2020's. It's also a legendary ad campaign -- I have to buy the game now. Is it patched up enough at this point and is there a PS5 port?

Ugh god I'm not digging the face designs. I only want the Jinchuu arc. I already have the first 60-something episodes of the original for the rest (which if we're giving Watsuki this kind of attention anyways, why the FUCK hasn't the original series been upgraded to Blu-ray yet?).

I would prefer it if all my old posts were eradicated from the internet in case I write something that gets picked up (a lot of them would get me cancelled immediately). Except for the ones about my impeccable music taste. That I take pride in.

He announced a bomb plot against Williams Street.

I wonder how this panel will get animated.

Which oni-chan doll did you cum inside now?

Just blew through all of Bubblegum Crisis and Crash. Crisis is fucking great. Stereo cranked, adult beverage in hand, makes your balls feel like concrete. Too bad it's unfinished though because Crash sucks ass (though it does have a GREAT opening theme). Now I wanna pull up a gun on some anime exec to finally force them into adapting Exaxxion.

Was there a PA outside the store blasting Angelo Badalamenti? That shit attracts crackheads.

Giancarlo Esposito AND Canadian Goku in the same dub? What on god's green earth...

Imagine this sketch with a child actor: *Sponsored by Spishak

Where's Aronofsky to make his version (except not call it Paprika and pretend it's a new thing he made up)?

This shit should've stayed lost.

Yeah I missed that bit. Here's hoping it doesn't end up falling victim to the tax overlords.

I like how this was announced like -12 days ago yet radio silence on Uzumaki.

It's looking at the previous quarter: "Approved additional spending on projects with unproven financial returns..." The slide points out the 'faults' of where the money's been flowing this year, which indicates WBD is going to course-correct. CNN+ was on that list and that was killed off, so now how hard they course-correct on everything else remains to be seen.

I don't know what this is but TIL this had an animated commercial for one of its manga volumes and I'm intrigued:
