The vibe I’m bringing into October… 🖤

No worries! ME1 is still a really fun game and worth playing. I think because ME2 has a reputation for being so good people might think it’s bad in comparison but I like it a lot ☺️

-I think the themes of Reeves version could have been explored in a more original way and didn't need to rely on source material that had already had one adaptation made. It's an interesting point though, revisiting source materials at different points to reflect wider societal circumstance

I am a bit more cynical and would suggest that the The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) didn't add anything new to the wider context of the untrustworthy alien theme & likely profited off of having a familiar name. There are examples of films that explore the same theme that are a lot more original-

I guess it's possible to play just ME2 but I have the Legendary Edition which comes with all three games and all the DLC. I feel like you wouldn't get as much out of the choice mechanics and lore without playing ME1. Also, romances etc carry over 🙂

New post: Is Nothing Original Anymore? Postmodernism in the Age of Reboots - From Gerwig’s upcoming Narnia to del Toro’s Frankenstein, it seems like every new film on the horizon is a story that’s already been told through the medium of cinema. Are we living in a post-originality world?

I did something wrong on his loyalty mission in MS2 if I remember correctly 😢 I’ll redeem myself though !!

True! But this time I’m going to save Grunt, I’ve felt bad about that ever since I didn’t the first time I played through 💔

Started playing a new Mass Effect career, I will try my best not to make all the same choices again! #masseffect #gaming

The Wonder of Oners The long-take is certainly a technical achievement, but that doesn’t always make them worth having.

New post! The Wonder of Oners 🎬

I’ve been watching the new comedy series The Studio on Apple TV. In the second episode, a comedy of errors highlights how challenging a oner can be. This got me thinking; is a oner a badge of honour or is it a flashy gimmick made to impress?

5/20: Mary and Max (2009)
[Dir.] Adam Elliot

Claymation has always held a special place in my heart and this unlikely friendship story is as equally bleak as it is charming.

4/20: Children of Men (2006)
[Dir.] Alfonso Cuarón

A masterclass in filmmaking. Although the futuristic vision isn’t anything particularly original, the technical complexity is almost magical.

3/20: A Silent Voice (2016)
[Dir.] Naoko Yamada

A beautifully made film about bullying, isolation, memory and guilt. It made me cry for days but I absolutely love and admire the storytelling and the emotion of this film.

2/20: Alien (1979)
[Dir.] Ridley Scott

Alien is my favourite from Ridley Scott’s catalogue. I love everything about it, but my two stand outs are H R Giger’s biomechanical designs and how much of a badass Ellen Ripley is.

1/20: The Love Witch (2016)
[Dir.] Anna Biller

A stylish film that combines strong thematic content with formal film techniques. Each scene is packed with splendour, from the prop and set designs to the costumes.

#FilmSky

I love this film. One of my top three Coen Brothers movies for sure

A happy birthday to the great George A. Romero.
