I'd probably give The Prestige the nod for favorite Nolan. Kurosawa is a filmmaker who I really I need to watch more of his work. I have some of his films I haven't seen in my watch queue I haven't gotten to. EDIT: Porco Rosso is more on Miyazaki's whimsical side; Mononoke was more on his serious, if that matters.

Mad Max Fury Road and Dredd were almost on my list. I prefer Porco Rosso for Miyazaki films, but Mononoke was the first I saw (and in the theater to boot, but I had to travel to an independent cinema to see it). I saw Inception for the first time a few weeks ago and was kind of disappointed. Maybe I'd like it better if I saw it in 2010...?

Pan's Labrynth is good, I also liked The Devil's Backbone from Del Toro (and the two Hellboy films) It was a bit of a toss-up, they're both really good. I could have went for either as well. Looking forward to The Northman from Eggers. I also could have included a bunch of Terry Gilliam's films (in particular Brazil and The Brother's Grimm, but also Tideland, 12 Monkeys, Baron Munchausen and Dr. Parnasus) or Hitch**** films. Or David Lynch for that matter.

Oooo, top 10 lists. Okay, in release date order my list based on how I feel would be... The Trouble with Harry (1955) The Big Country (1958) Charade (1963) Planet of the Apes (1968) Onna banchō nora-neko rokku (1970 aka Alleycat Rock: Female Boss aka Straycat Rock: Delinquent Girl Boss aka Female Juvenile Delinquent Leader: Alleycat Rock aka Wildcat Rock) The Warriors (1979) Alien (1979) Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) La Cité des enfants perdus (1995 aka The City of Lost Children) The VVitch (2015) Obviously if you ask me tomorrow it'd be a different list entirely.

I haven't posted a lot either.

Sounds more Megaforce than Delta Force...

Or did it?

I've heard Malignant is a bit like Italian horror films (particularly Lucio Fulci's). If true, it'd not be for everyone. Anyhow...

The prequel Thing had potential but it got botched. Wasn't it originally supposed to be practical effect but the producers forced digital?

TNG Suspicions Okay episode. Nice to see a focus on Dr. Crusher. Weird that it's a theoretical science episode though.

I liked Ghosts of Mars, but it wore its production problems on its sleeve. But I liked the pulpy nonsense of it. I haven't seen ItMoM since I rented it on vhs so my mom could watch it (she loved horror films). I had already seen it in theaters. They Live and Prince of Darkness are fun but have their own issues.

Any concerns over the departures of Toshihiro Nagoshi and Daisuke Sato from RGG? I think Nagoshi was a known departure not sure about Sato. Haven't heard much from Yakuza fans if this is big or not.

Most people I know can slide their fingers over the keyboard and be coherent. When I try, it either doesn't start or gives me something ùnineties

The licking the microphone is supposed to be one of those ASMR things (autonomous sensory meridian response) for relaxation. I don't get it, but apparently some people do. I don't know why so many ASMR content creators on the internet seem to be scantily clad women other than they're trying to get the attention of dudes looking for ASMR sounds.

TNG "Frame of Mind" Riker gets mind-manipulated to extract information. Cast does what they can with the material, but overall TNG's done this story better (Picard's interrogator by David Warner's Cardassian and Data exploration of his strange visions after the accidental alien device blast) just a few episodes ago.
