I watched Demon Slayer a while back. Some of it is promising, but in many ways it's kinda frustrating in the way Shonen anime can be. I watched a few minutes of the movie on....an adult site, but I haven't finished it.

More AoT, episodes 2-4. It's an extended introduction where we get to meet the cast of would be soldiers as they train to fight the eponymous sexless monsters that have terrorized humans for at least a hundred years. So far it's OK, but could have been cut down without losing anything. The cable swinging can be a bit hard to keep up with and I want to punch half of the cast, but I assume some will become snacks for the big eunuchs once things kick into gear. I'm getting negative vibes from the government and military, so I'm gonna bet some shady **** is going on there.

Boyhood (2014). It may have taken 12 years to make, but it only took me 7 years to watch it so I guess I'm ahead. Overall it's a good slice of life movie, and even if it does have a bit much volume it makes sense for the most part.

So your memories of Memories aren't memorable?

It's both writing and directing, other than Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill part 1*, and Deathproof*, none of his films have been under 2 and a half hours. Given how the guy who produced most of Tarantino's films is famous for forcing cuts (and being a rampant sexual predator), it's kind of weird that other than the first film he made there wasn't many cuts to compress runtime. Pulp Fiction was ok the first time I saw it, but I don't think it holds up very well over multiple viewings because a lot of it is built on surprise and novelty. And to me it doesn't feel like a short film anthology so much as a narrative chopped up to be non-linear, like with some edits to structure you'd have a normal linear crime drama. I think a collection of short films as a feature can be a cool idea, but it depends on how it's done. Sin City did it badly because it looked bad and Frank Miller dialogue is not good. More anime tho, AoT episode 2. *Both of these are also part of another movie though, so caveats I guess.

Yeah that's a selling point. One thing I like about Linklater is how he tries weird stuff, like the film Tape occurring in real time.

Maybe. With Royal Oaks Theater closed it seems for the most part what I'd want to see in theaters ain't gonna be there.

Finished a rough draft of a short script, so I watched an episode of AoT to relax. It's intriguing but has one of my pet peeves, naked monsters with no genitals. Minor thing though, but weird when you think about it. I'm going to try to watch Boyhood this weekend because I recently got into an internet debate over Richard Linklater being a better director than Tarantino (which he clearly is tbh, Tarantino needs an editor to tell him when to stop) but after that I'll watch more anime.

Selling Sailor Moon figures is serious business.

So the dad set himself up? lmao

Are GA Republicans trying to look like supervillains?

I have, and some SMS recs on YouTube, which between Film Riot stuff has been hilarious. It's more of a general question, like what the **** were they thinking?

I love how Diana sits on Chibi-Usa's head. Why do Usagi and Luna sound like they're grannies tho?

But those pesky feminists are easier to blame, especially if you ideologically support such things that lead to the lack of kiddos. The cheapest rent around me is about $800, most "good" entry level jobs (which aren't guaranteed) pay somewhere around $20/hr to start with a degree required, student debt is out of control for most people around my age, and just having a kid (not actually raising one, which is even more time and effort) could cost in 10s of thousands. Just weighing things, people in thsee circumstances not having kids is a completely logical decision based on their actual circumstances, and hook-up culture doesn't really factor in.

I watched the pilot for $5.15/hr. Not picking this up is probably the biggest ****up HBO has ever done.

I think these debunks are missing the point of these posts. They're not made to inspire someone to start a business instead of buying an iPhone or learn a skill instead of watch TV, they're for people who aren't working class or poor to tut-tut at the lazy proles for daring to have a semblance of a life beyond toil. The same people who make these posts could not handle the average fast food worker's job.

I think Diamond is Unbreakable and Golden Wind are significantly better than previous seasons in almost all respects.

Me too. At least I've been able to get back to writing a bit, maybe when the rona isn't so crazy I can finally shoot this short I've had ready for a long time.

I did, if you can take some of the more silly aspects of it then it's pretty good. I've been pretty sick the last week and haven't really watched anime lately. I think I'll check out Attack on Titan soon though.

That's the most likely scenario. I think the most realistic thing to hope for would some partial chapters and his assistants dropping the outline of the rest so we can get some kind of closure.

I was holding out that the conclusion was close and he'd end up pulling it out, but I guess now we'll never know or see it get taken up by his apprentices. A real damn shame.

Berserk is older than me and there are a lot of chapters, but yeah we're lucky to see three chapters a year these days. Apparently it's closer to finished than not, but unless Miura breaks the slow pace that has been going on for 15 years now we're probably going to be waiting a very long time if it gets finished at all. In some ways it's tamer than later manga iterations, but it is graphic to go into blind. It really does work though.

I guess it wasn't a remASSter after all.

After seeing the Overfiend, I wouldn't go that far. But it does fit what the show is and works well with that imo.
