1- how to present complex, world building without info dumping.
2- the effect of dialogue tags on immersion and connection
3- difference in conflict scales and stakes- personal vs third-party vs global. How to balance them.
4-effective prose

An intense film spanning setpiece that does not let go till the credits roll. Anxiety inducing in its realism. Garland & Mendoza team up to deliver action without forcing convoluted plots & forced character humour or even arcs. Boiling everything down to its essence.

Despite the film's flaws, I appreciate the ambitious big swings they took with this sequel and the series as a whole. Brilliant cinematography at times, kinetic editing and a tone that harkens to adventures like the Last of Us/ Made in Abyss.

Looking forward to Bone Temple.

*Cue Quincy Anthem, and...* "What's that? Ywach comes from the top rope!"

Tech bros want to create that level of asset out of nothing SO BAD that they are willing to destroy the planet to retain that ability.

When the true value is picking up a pencil and following your heart and devoting your mind and body to a craft that moves people.

But nah too much work.

the issue is that by making things "easier for us" we make ourselves less relevant with every use.

I rather gatekeep. JRR Tolkien wrote Lord of the Rings while in WW2 because he liked languages and experienced the extremes of good and evil. It ended up becoming a multi BILLION $ IP

Easily the best film this year. I said Legend of Hiei 2 was the animated film to beat, and CSM -Reze said "Hold my grenade."

The cinematography alone blew me away far less the insane action. And I knew this arc, I read it twice, and it still floored me.

Next arcs will nuts

What I find amusing about this "Street Fighter is supposed to goofy" rhetoric. Is that people ignore the nuanced balance that anime has established between grounded, eloquent sincerity and bombastic, balls to wall ultra violence. Like the two can't exist.

CSM Reze is great reminder, u can do both.

That is tight. Yeah i have to continue this series. Was just letting it build

yeah stuff like this is pretty impressive.

he has some dynamic shots and impressive panelling for sure.

End of an Era. Despite its flaws, Final Reckoning delivers a masterclass in stunts and setpieces. I especially note the effects of sequential mini arc plot structure for large ensembles like this.

Some of the cinematography is going to be in my head rent free too.

Haven't seen CSM Reze or Demon Slayer Infinity Castle yet (read both manga events though). But, this animated movie is the one to beat for me. Great world building that adds from the first film and the action is balls to wall. (The Camera work especially!

Yorgos does not miss. Definitely his take on *redacted* but with excellent colors and shot composition. Also a great commentary on echo chambers, much like Eddington earlier this year. Jesse Plimons and Emma Stones give great performances as well.

YouTube video by Warner Bros. UK & Ireland One Battle After Another - Official Trailer - Warner Bros. UK & Ireland

A comedic, intense & brutal look at the realities of revolution and how past sins shape future generations. PTA drops us into a heightened reality that harkens the past but presents our current circumstance. Great editing and cinematography too. #oscarseason #filmsky

Its even crazier given those same aliens become allies later on.

A comedic yet brutal commentary on capitalism and how it can force or even expand people 's bad decisions despite having noble intents.

Excellent cinematography and editing. Another banger by Park Chan-Wook. I think this officially kicks off Oscar Season for 2025.

1- a masterclass in multiple POVs, in characters & types (3rd person limited, omiscient & 1st person)
2- the effect of fantasy to present real-world themes.
3- how to give character history effieciently and effectively.
4-emotion vs events

YouTube video by kuri 【诡秘之主】Lord of the Mysteries - Official Trailer [4K 60FPS]

Arguably the best isekai I've ever seen and a juggernaut of grimdark/ urban fantasy. Great world-building, scale & characters. And the magic system is a veritable chasm. Also blessed with insane production value, every scene means something. Will read the books.

youtu.be/QqSUI4mpDrA this is the best discourse I've heard behind this book so far.

💙📚

It's executing complete arcs just as envisioned or even better.

I still have a long ways to go but I have 9 issues in between 2 titles. I hope to build more on this foundation and meet my audiences expectations.

damn congrats bro

Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy

Lessons:
1-purple prose as a means to make the setting a character
2- the effect of punctuation to immerse the reader in a time and space, pros & cons
3- the effect focusing on setting and immersion has on plot and character connection
4-characters as symbols

It's Spooky voodoo season and it would be remiss to not drop some more scenes from Bimshire. Here is Isaac during his midnight concert as Shaggy Bears dance before raising havoc.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKZp... this one is highly anticipated. Also premiering in Oscar season? lets go.

Yeah, that sickening sweet evil is something very specific that you don't see often but it is so effective.

I do like the villains fate more than say Dolores Umbridge in Harry Potter.
