  • Amnesia Fortnight 2017

    —

    When Double Fine Productions did its previous Amnesia Fortnight in 2014, and documented it through a web series, it was one of my favorite “TV” shows of that year. They’re at it again, and although the game jam itself ended a few days ago, all the episodes of the documentary series aren’t out yet (they’ve…

  • Screenland

    —

    I loved this series about game culture so much, I binged all 9 episodes — which you can watch here (although I recommend downloading the Red Bull TV app on Apple TV and watching them that way, which is what I did) — in one night. Each episode explores a different aspect of today’s gaming…

  • Sunday Morning Cartoon Cavalcade Vol. 7

    —

    This past Sunday’s cartoon session kicked off yet again with another fantastic Samurai Jack episode — I really don’t know what I’m going to do when the season is over (and there are only 3 episodes left). After watching another episode of the Tangled series, I capped off the first season of Mickey Mouse shorts…

  • Pretty in Pink

    —

    Oh the joys of re-watching classic John Hughes movies (he didn’t direct this one, but still wrote and produced it). It’s got the classic soundtrack, the great characters, and everything else I remember liking about it. Watching this also got me thinking how it’s a shame that there is no creator these days making cool…

  • Police Academy 3: Back in Training

    —

    The best thing about this movie is any scene Bobcat Goldthwait is in. The worst thing is the Japanese character, who is uncomfortably “oriental” in a Long Duk Dong kinda way. Overall, it’s silly fun, although I think I liked the second one more.

  • Big Trouble in Little China

    —

    I know I really liked this movie back in the day — I was a pretty big fan of John Carpenter films in general — but it had been so long since I’d watched it that I barely remembered the story at all, which made it that much more fun to watch. Yes, it’s incredibly silly,…

  • Sunday Morning Cartoon Cavalcade Vol. 6

    —

    This week’s Samurai Jack was so good on so many fronts, from the callbacks to old episodes (when meeting up with beings that had been saved by Jack) as well as the return of Jack to take arms, but my favorite sequence was the club/rave part — dance, baby, dance. Tangled was fine, and I…

  • Lupin the Third: Goemon Ishikawa’s Spray of Blood

    —

    , ,

    I watched this fantastic Lupin the Third film over the weekend, Goemon Ishikawa’s Spray of Blood (Chikemuri no Ishikawa Goemon) that tells the tale of how Lupin and his crew met up with Goemon. It’s a more adult take on the series, and features much tenser action than I’m used to seeing in Lupin stuff…
