  • Into the Badlands (Season 1)

    —

    I watched the first episode of Into the Badlands back when it originally aired, and thought it was pretty good, but at the time I didn’t end up watching the rest of that first season (it takes a lot to get me to watch stuff on a weekly basis these days). After being incredibly disappointed by…

  • Artless Craft Tea & Coffee

    ,

    The Artless design agency has opened a new office/gallery/cafe in Nakameguro (a move from the previously smaller space they occupied in Harajuku) and it looks like a stunning space (see photos in this Spoon & Tamago post). The gallery is strangely by appointment only, but the cafe is open to all, and specializes in both coffee…

  • Ghibli Park

    ,

    It’s finally happening, we’re getting a Ghibli theme park. Set to open in 2020 in Aichi prefecture, the idea is that it will be more of a Totoro park (which is fine by me, as that’s still my favorite Ghibli film). There’s more info in this Spoon & Tamago post.

    Kinoco Hotel have a 10th album coming out that’s a compilation of past tracks (with one new track), and I just love the covers. Here’s also a great video for the track “Atashi no Sniper (Short Version).” I’ve seen them at least a couple of times live at SuperDeluxe, and they give an awesome show.…

  • T2 Trainspotting

    —

    I was really nervous about watching this, because I was so worried that it could never live up to the original film — which is one of those films that defined the era it came out in, in terms of cultural impact. Did I like it? Yes, I really enjoyed spending time with these characters…

  • Get Out

    —

    As everyone has been saying about this movie, man, it’s great. I won’t go into the details of what makes it so great to avoid spoilers, but I really love where it goes, how it treats the whole situation, and where we end up at the end. Definitely one of the best horror films I’ve…

  • Twin Peaks (2017)

    —

    It’s been less than 24 hours since the airing of the first 2 episodes of the new Twin Peaks series (followed by parts 3 and 4 which are available on streaming services), and I’ve already watched all 4 episodes twice. What to say. Yes, I like it, but it’s definitely very far from what I was expecting…
