I think that my distaste of CGI is pretty well documented by now but... With their recent financial troubles and signals that they're no longer going to be doing "expensive vanity projects" (ie the movies that are actually good), I will bet that Netflix doubles down on making/acquiring cheap cgi anime and Stranger things knockoffs. So more cars that makes us want to tear our eyes out or become the Joker.

That's a lot of muda. Good. I'm usually right. Unless I'm not.

I remember some people were nervous that the 7 page muda would be cut, but they not only did the whole thing but also had Giorno do a Wryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy in the middle. It's probably the perfect extended beat down. DIO would be proud.

Insomnia binged Stranger Things: A Nightmare on Elm Street. Maybe it's because I was exhausted but my brain would not let me sleep, but I found it to be formulaic and carried mostly by the strength of the cast. So better than most Netflix shows. The frustrating thing is that it isn't outright bad and there a great moments, but when the mediocre starts rolling it goes on for a while. Spoiler time -

I doubt that's going to happen. For a lot of people, guns are a social signifier in the same way that F-150s are. They don't need that horsepower to drive to their office job anymore than they need their 5 guns to defend their home in a gated community from invaders. This is who forms the bulk of support for the NRA, and they will not leave their vanity objects they use to take family pictures go. Guns are toys to these people, and we are paying the price for their frivolous attitude to deadly tools. Don't get me started on cars. Houston had to be bulldozed to make cars necessary and it absolutely sucks.

Well s3 was awful, so that's not too much praise. I thought the first episode was long and am expecting the extended length to be a bit of a drag, it seems like they could have cut the episodes up much better and released the last one as a movie. -
The Boy Behind the Door. A horror film about kids being abducted and sex trafficked. Pretty bare bones tbh, not bad but very similar to other serial killer movies. X (2022). A strip club owner in 1979 Houston takes two strippers (one of whom is his gf), a Vietnam vet, and two film students to shoot a porno out in the country. It feels like the writer never set foot in Houston and the actors do take the country to 11, but if you get over that it's an enjoyable enough take on a slasher.

It's part of a very long joke being played on the world.

Maybe they hit the cameraman and that's where the shake came from? -

I think it is a case of the technique being used incorrectly (and badly) instead of an issue with the technique itself. The scene feels very artificial to begin with, the cgi dominating the background combined with perfectly smooth camera movements makes me think that everything was done by machine. Then when we get to the camera shake it just feels wrong. If it was closer up then it would be more tolerable, but this just gives the impression that someone was shaking the dolly accidentally. Some of it was ok, but I wasn't very impressed for the most part. I guess we've gone to Vecna for the villain now, which is kind of weird that after all these years(?) they encounter an evil humanoid instead of whatever the hell the other entities were. -
