  • Yoshitaka Amano

    ,

    Although not part of Anne Ferrero’s Toco Toco series, this wonderful short documentary on Yoshitaka Amano that she helped produce for Mana Books is very much Toco Toco-like, and a great look at the man and what inspires him.

  • The Tokyoiter Shop

    —

    ,

    The fantastic Tokyoiter project — creating cover images for an imaginary Tokyo-based New Yorker-like magazine — has now opened a shop, with prints on offer. The runs are limited though, so jump on covers you’d really like to get and frame as soon as you can, but they do promise to introduce new runs with…

  • Atomic Blonde

    —

    This movie is so ridiculously my jam that it’s, well, ridiculous. I already had high hopes for it after hearing good stuff when it was released in theaters and loving the trailer, and my expectations were surpassed. I got all the brilliant action I was expecting — including that truly brilliant chaotic/messy fight scene in…

  • Prince of Darkness

    —

    I had completely forgotten what this movie was about — in fact, when I started watching it, I was expecting On the Mouth of Madness. It comes up with some interesting ideas — suggesting that “the devil” is of alien origin — but it doesn’t really go far enough. It wasn’t horrible, but definitely not…

  • Stranger Things 2

    —

    What with Super Mario Odyssey taking over my life since Friday, I’ve only managed to watch the first episode of the second season of Stranger Things (after re-watching season 1 earlier this week). That episode was quite good though — you gotta love all of the arcade love the episode gets — and I can’t…

  • Mr. Robot (Season 3)

    —

    After watching the first episode of the new 3rd season, I couldn’t help but feel lost. This series is filled with so many twist and turns, and I honestly couldn’t really remember where things were at and what the status quo was. By the end of the episode, I felt just as lost, although I…

  • Evil Dead II

    —

    Since it’s Halloween season, I’ve been focusing the start of my 1987 movie marathon on horror films from that year, and there’s probably none more classic than this. I’d say it’s still the best Sam Raimi film, and oh boy is this one hell of an insane film (in a good way) — even more…

  • Stranger Things (Season 1)

    —

    I’m incredibly excited for the second season of Stranger Things to come out on Friday, and so in anticipation I decided to re-watch the first season — something I never do for dramatic series, with Twin Peaks as the exception. I’m watching 2-3 episodes a night (will finish tonight), and I’ve found myself enjoying it…
