Not great, but the wardrobe department was ON FIRE with this one. Plus another great non-horror performance from Christopher Lee. The man sure knew how to rock a moustache...
Agree wholeheartedly!

Started a replay of the PS1 "Resident Evil 3". Still my favorite of the entire series.
Just hearing that "S.T.A.R.S..." growl gets me every time.
Well, it had to be done... (with apologies to @mikemuncer.bsky.social for the casting)

Since this is because I've had a sudden bout of creativity, I'm not complaining.
Always love the made-up genre part of these things making me sound more eclectic than I really am.

I watched the (very good) Eurogamer review. Having a hard time reconciling the game being talked about here with the one they described as "darkly whimsical"...

Who needs the ESRB when you've got vibes-based moderation?

Meanwhile, I can't shut up about a certain movie from this year. *Finally* I've realized I should just write all of my yapping down...
Peter Hyams doesn't seem to ever get acknowledged for directing some absolute bangers. I should watch "Capricorn One" again...
Not ashamed to admit even enjoying "Timecop" and "The Relic", either.
Two more loft finds, along with several others. Can't wait to re-read them.

Found my long-lost copy of my favorite novel.
This is the cover I'll always associate with "Dune", the one from the copy I picked up in my school library.

Two time-capsule soundtracks this week. One a classic of my teen years, the other is "The One".
Can confirm we don't need to bring nu-metal back, guys.

This episode was the excuse I needed to finally get the Arrow Blu-ray. Both are excellent!

A few first-watches, with an old favorite to lift the mood.

Bought a used PS4 Pro and a stack of console exclusive games. Right now is the "last-gen" sweet spot before it becomes "retro" and prices start going back up. A second-hand 3DS goes for the same price as the console.
Replacement cases were cheap, too.
Sounds like this has become the Death Stranding of extraction shooters.

Literally writing a video essay on it at the moment. So underrated.

Give me movies that actually look like movies. Lens flare and bokeh. Shadows and contrast. Lurid colours. Leading lines.
("Ghosts of Mars" is still a mess, though)

Happy Dracula Day to all who celebrate.
