  1. The Zone of Interest, that one about the Auschwitz commandant's family life. Very disturbing for a film that's about a group of highly unpleasant people doing nothing. That background churning sound was an actor in itself, I hope it got some sort of reward. All of us strangers. One of the most horrifying horror films I ever had a dismal pleasure to see. For some reason critics on Internet label this chilling horror as ~emotional drama~ or some sh†t and that really baffles me. (heavy spoilerinos ahead) So all in all great movie weekend, though I probably should've also replayed SOMA or Pathologic to complete that wondrous sensation of bleak misery.
  2. Look at this tech forward guy with his fancy CDs, I still have a couple of drawers stuffed full of cassettes. Aaaaanyway, speaking of nineties. Here be a song that I think a lot of people born in the nineties have to thank for their existence, kind of like Hotel California and seventies.
  3. Watched Dune 2 and it was boring. For a first entire hour, Brian Paul not-the-Messiah was trying not to be Messiah in the land of noble savages while having the most sterile romance this side of Anakin (was it because of sand? I keep hearing it can really ruin them romances) with absolutely nothing of interest happening save for cool new machinery getting exploded. Then Feyd-Rautha is introduced in black and white sequence for some reason, gets hyped out of proportions like a triple A corporate-manufactured video game and, later, fizzles out with a tiny fart just like as one, Brian drinks blue epiphany liquid, goes "F†ck yeah, lets be Messiah, dunno why I resisted for that first hour anyway", starts seeing all the futures and picks one where he wins, unfortunately it's the same one where everyone acts like idiots in order to let him win. Also Josh Brolin shows up outta nowhere mid-movie and contributes nothing. And ending's open, because of course it is. First movie at least was pretty with a great soundtrack.
  4. News from Mordor. Russian billionaire who owns a number of metallurgy factories, things kinda essential for war machine, detained on account of him allegedly illegally privatizing them in the nineties, factories nationalized. Wonder if it's a start or just an episode. Please be a start.
  5. She totes looks like a Kate and not a Cate. So much that my brain glosses over the name printed on the poster that's like, in front of me right now.
  6. I'm more about Kate Blanchett of all people. Thought it was a photoshopped joke poster at first.
  7. "So hey, Hollywood Fatcat 1, I hear viewers are getting tired of endless sequels and reboots, profits drop, we need to do something, but damn that's such a great formula, wonder if we can reinvent it somehow?" "I got ya, Hollywood Fatcat 2:" The Beatles: Sir Sam Mendes to direct four films - one about each band member
  8. No idea, I only know him from that Spoony Experiment LP of Phantasmagoria 2. Which has definitely better acting than Breen's film, but kinda similar cinematography.
  9. That trailer looks like one of those FMV adventure games from the nineties, like Phantasmagoria 2. And I would love to see Noah Antwiler's Lets Play of this movie
  10. Lemme hazard a guess - he confiscated and, ah, utilized that 12 pack of moonshine? Obligatory "Not speaking for all Eastern Europeans blahdy-blah", but collapse of sovietistan was the best thing that happened to me in my entire life and I'd gladly go for loops of those really not as horrible as people think nineties if that was what required to never experience something like sovietistan again.
  11. Carl Anderson's "Heaven on their minds" was the very first rock thing I experienced, and it overwhelming my child mind with "This is life and this is me and this is everything" means it will forever sit on top of my Hoard of Sensations. I didn't see the full movie then, so the first full experience was the concept rock album too. I thought Murray Head to be boring compared to Carl Anderson, but Ian Gillan was...something else and then when I eventually saw the film Ted Neeley sounded underwhelming in comparison, though with time I warmed up to him. So I love both versions equally; that version of aughts is a travesty, though. And now for obligatory "WhyyyyYYYyyyyyyYYYYY":
  12. Well, I went and slayed her fine, climbed up to discover I got a whole lot of literally nothing for a reward, took the "stay here for a while" option and wham, the end achieved, credits roll. I did restart later and did a full murderhobo loop though, took me about 3 hours of nice, mild horror. I'll probably try again to see if being nice to the Princess yields different results.
  13. Oh! I too played Slay the Princess. It was way too short, less than 10 minutes I think, and my reward for slaying her sucked.
  14. So, art assets totally going to be generated by AI, writing absolutely, AI can code, now it will do voices too, it's like wet dream of all future bobby coticks. Wish someone replaced those f*cking suits with AI, it already has advantage over them by being literally soulless instead of metaphorically.
  15. We put buttons in meat fillings in our "zeppelins" (think of a big zep-shaped potato dumpling). Also supposed to bring luck and it's a wonder I never witnessed it bringing odontology expenses instead.
  16. I'm not quite starved of British comedy, there's full Monty Python's Flying Circus on Netflix, "After Life" in backlog and other stuff, but this reminded me I still haven't watched the last of Cornetto trilogy, so that's something to look forward to.
  17. Watched Love Actually. Whoever recommended me this pile of saccharine as "Witty British comedy" is up for some retribution. Maybe I'll recommend them Pet Sematary as feel good family movie.
  18. We still talking about Latvia here? Because AFAIK nobody oppresses Russian-speaking locals there. Unless "Learn the language of the country you live in order to maybe get a better job" counts, and no, that thousand that media says might be kicked out, is very unlikely local. Also your last sentence is pointlessly long. "Break up russia --> Yes please!" is sufficient.
  19. Are these game's original voice actors and do they chew scenery this bad in the game too?
  20. And still failed that. Ya'll here, who analyze and argue over aesthetics of some fluff piece that gets skipped 99% of time, are definite snobs.
