    There’s a trailer out for Masaaki Yuasa’s next film, Yoru wa Mijikashi Arukeyo Otome, and it’s a visual treat. I cannot wait to watch this. The film comes out in theaters in Japan next April.

    I’m in love with the beautiful wood block prints of Hasui Kawase that depict night time settings. Found via this tweet by Darran Anderson.

    As he highlights in his latest “Ametora Dispatches” newsletter, it’s been a year since the release of David’s Ametora, and it’s great to hear that he’s already focusing on the next book he will write. Even better, we’ll get to ride along — and offer feedback — as he writes it. Starting in January, I…

    This is another of this month’s free games from PlayStation Plus (like Tiny Troopers Joint Ops), and it’s been a pleasant surprise to play it. I knew absolutely nothing about it, and so it came as a nice surprise to see not only a beautiful and colorful game like this, but one that’s fun to…

    Last night I started playing through this month’s free games from PlayStation Plus – Stories: The Path of Destinies I’ve already played through and hugely enjoyed, while Invisible Inc. I played a bit of on my Mac, and I do plan on giving the console version a try. First up I played Tiny Troopers Joint…

    I’ve been slowly watching the third season of The Clone Wars animated series on Netflix, and gotta say, it keeps getting better and better. Makes me realize that the setting of the prequels isn’t really the problem, but rather that they’re just bad movies with bad storytelling. 

  • The Magnificent Seven

    I thought this was pretty good. I liked the cast – Chris Pratt is as likeable as ever – and it felt like a solid western, with good action. Beautiful widescreen vistas too to take in.

  • Saturday Night Live (Season 42)

    As I start thinking about what I liked and watched throughout the year for my year-end list, I’m reminded that SNL is one of the rare shows that I watch on a weekly basis (at this point, it was just this and Westworld), and how I continue to look forward to watching it, despite the…

    I’ve been following Conan O’Brien’s various shows on and off since he started his talk show career, and after not having watched anything in a good year or two, I recently started watching Conan again, and am happy to see that it’s just as fun as ever. 

  • Star Wars Rebels (Season 2)

    I know the show is currently in the midst of season 3, but I just recently watched the last few episodes of season 2, and enjoyed them quite a lot. I continue to think that adult Ahsoka is the coolest Star Wars character, and so it’s a joy to have her play an important role…
