Boku No Pico has grown men wrassling with young boys. -
Revolutions was the closest Western cinema has gotten to mech action, so I'll take it for that. I saw Resurrections a few days ago. The best way I could describe it is an anti-Matrix Matrix movie, as in it does everything in its power to not be anything like the other ones by being A). Self-referential, meta, and existing only to deconstruct itself B). Having close to zero action choreography (which is then "absolved" by Neo ending every fight with an air blast) and C). An internal Self vs. Self conflict rather than any kind of threat against humanity (in fact everything is fairly Utopian in Zion/Ios). As an actual stand-alone movie, it doesn't work. As a spite project against corporate sequel culture and Warner Brothers because they forced Lana's hand, it's a delight. As an epilogue, it's fine. I don't feel like I wasted my time with it so I'd say watch it if you're curious, but I wouldn't actively say to anyone "You gotta watch this!"

American Dad dropping two nukes on Toonami confirmed. -
The order it aired here is the same as the HBO Max version. BTW I rewatched all the Matrix movies this week for the first time in years. Within that period I almost fell for the "The 1st one is the only good one" narrative. Yeah nah Reloaded fuckin slaps. The Zion Temple fuck scene/The Frenchman & Monica Bellucci/The Twins/Morpheus wielding a katana/The CHASE SCENE *chef's kiss* Revolutions feels like a rush to the finish line in comparison, but whatever it gets the job done. [I gotta say too, I have the UHD discs and the transfer is divine. It's so clear in fact that you can tell the city backdrop on the beginning rooftop scene with Trinity in the 1st one is just a cardboard wall.]

It's called having 4 companies taking charge of all media, and then increasing the cost of their output to the point only major streaming can afford it (assuming said creator don't have a service themselves). Mark my words, expect all hot Funimation properties to be off limits. -

Some quick reactions to my week of indulgence in cinema ぜネ院 Spiderman: Now Way Home - Fuck yes. Gets the job done. Sony's grip on the Spidey movies has been a positive it looks like since they actually use techniques to keep you gripped like, idk, TWISTS. Peter's hubris bites him in the ass and causes this installment to be a tragedy. A few to many one-line quips in the middle act, but otherwise one of the better flicks in the MCU. Give it 36 inches of Thanos/10. The Tragedy Of Macbeth - Macbeth was always my favorite Shakespeare play and this is the definitive movie version. Fuckin British-ass 50's set pieces. I think even the voices and SFX were mixed in mono. Fuck yes. A24 as FUCK. Violent as shit. The witches are transcendent. 12 "Scottish Plays"/broken legs. Red Rocket - Dethroned Dune as movie of the year for me. Mother of God. Hadn't seen this ulcer-piercing of a ride since Uncut Gems. Watch it blind, glad the media-illiterate "Internet Discourse" actively searching for a new Hays Code is keeping this safe by having Licorice Pizza run in front of it like a hail of bullets. 'NSYNC/boy bands. Lamb - A unique folktale that borders on horror. Supplemental listening material includes Bjork's Greatest Hits, Sigur Ros' Kveikur, and Agent Fresco's Destrier. Not for empathy machines with pets. Recommended. The Power Of The Dog - Went in for the Red Dead Redemption 2 vibes and asshole Cumberbatch. Boring as sin. Fuck this movie.

Yep. Best/worst part is they both cast the same VA for Kenshin (Richard Cansino). -

The Media Blasters dub was fine. I remember stumbling into the Sony dub once by accident. That one... *shudders* -
