Tuesday Tune Two-Fer: Because It Is Hard
Two tunes to help appreciate the significance of a trip to the Moon
Exists, or, Found Bigfootage
The found footage movie Exists isn’t even a little bit good, but at least it chooses the right side
Game Narratives Are About Antici…
Expanding on an essay where I talk about front-loading stories to be more present with the player from moment to moment
Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones, or, Simon Dice
A series I never would’ve expected to like actually turns out to have one fun, entertaining entry. No spoilers.
The Right Kind of Slop
The painstaking work of real human artists should never be casually dismissed. It should be thoughtfully dismissed.
Tuesday Tune Two-Fer: Odyssey-ish
Two tunes tied to the homecoming story everybody can’t stop talking about
The Long Good Friday, or, Thames Bits
The late 70s British gangster movie is the kind of movie they don’t make anymore, and honestly weren’t making back then, either
One Thing I Really Like About Project Hail Mary
Project Hail Mary has almost all of the stuff I love about Spielberg sci-fi with almost none of the stuff I hate. (Mildest spoilers for stuff that’s in the trailers)
Tuesday Tune Two-Fer: Get the Cool Old Brown Shoeshine
Two tunes to almost kind of make a travelogue of the week’s highlights
The Wretched, or, Good Salt Circles Make Good Neighbors
The Wretched is a pretty fun indie horror movie that’s most notable for its point of view (Spoilers after a warning)
Get Movies About Rich People Or Die Trying
Responding to different takes on the movies I watched yesterday, and thoughts on the whole idea of “getting it.” Spoilers for Saltburn and Ready or Not 2: Here I Come
Saltburn, or, I Am Stretched On Your Grave
I might have enjoyed the 90 minute long, modern take on British classics that’s buried somewhere inside Saltburn
