iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

gotta track who i've given gifts to that week..... gotta unlock all the supports...

i have ~130 hours in the game rn (basically just started my final part 1 path) and i believe at least 5 of those hours were me just writing notes on how much support who needs with who and what gifts they like

i saw an animated advertisement and it made me consider if there is a difference between animation looking good and looking expensive. because obviously it's high quality but just having A Lot Of Work put into it doesn't necessarily make it enjoyable or good mappafication of animation

What Time Is It There? (dir. Tsai Ming-liang) you need patience to really appreciate this and i'm not rested enough today to let myself get swept along with this. but! i still really enjoyed it. it's been a while since i thought sketching the cinematography was more valuable than writing notes.

The Anthem (dir. Apichatpong Weerasethakul) short blessing, really interesting to consider as a legitimate cultural practice. should we bless our experience of going to the movies? where do we accept 'casual blessings' in our daily lives? who gives them? who receives them?

can't stop thinking about this btw, it's hard to recommend because it's so difficult to watch but i geniunely think this is a great movie

yeah it sucks when you see something that is obviously of great quality but it's just not for you :(

also i know whodunnit is not the point at all which then makes it, instead of a courtroom drama, a relationship slash family drama or study which i also could not care less about. like i said it's really well done, written, acted (!), filmed, staged, everything. i just. don't feel anything

the only way i've ever really felt engaged in murder mysteries is when i get to solve them. games are really the only way for me there :/ so can someone mod this film into an ace attourney case orrrr

Anatomy of a Fall (dir. Justine Triet) is it really good? yes, absolutely did i enjoy it? no, i cannot find it in me to really enjoy crime fiction and i was bored for most of it. which sucks, because i know i'm watching something great but i just. don't care. whodunnit? doesn't matter to me

The Goddess (dir. Wu Yonggang) it's okay to be a sex worker as long as you hate yourself for it. i would really like to know more about the involvement of the communist party in the writing of this and how it reflected the zeitgeist in the 30s. feels like everything is conceptual.

Liberty (dir. Leo McCarey) yeah it's laurel and hardy, it's funny. didn't care for it very much, as i usually don't. but you know. it's interesting how their human bodies are thrown around by outside influence, the mechanical, the global, the modern.

Digger (dir. Alejandro G. Iñárrito) fuck me this was much more than i had bargained for. i feel sick. i need to collect myself. but it's good. not in the way i thought it would be at all. but it is good.

-Fairground Fever (Linda Hughes) -Peace of Heart (Ana Songel) -Veni Vidi Non Vici (Leonor Calaça) -Porkhampton (Louis Managh) event was cool, only gripe: while i am not dependent on them and am obviously not against it, i found the live-subtitling software disappointingly lacking in accuracy

something i did that geniunely helped me out a ton: whenever i met someone i wrote down their name, sth to recognise them by (hair colour, glasses, etc.) and introductory information. just writing it down once pretty much guarantees that i know everyone's major, where they're from, etc.

btw i'm living in scotland rn in case anyone is wondering, since close to four weeks ago. i am BUSY with studying and working on papers but i am having a wonderful time, everyone is really nice and i'm making a huge effort to join social events and ask people out to the movies and stuff

i bought pickled jalapeños for my sandwiches. been making a lot of sandwiches because i've been watching that show, roll for sandwich. i could never do what that person does, i always make the same sandwich, but it's admirable. and sometimes you get an idea for an ingredient that could be nice!

From Scotland with Love (dir. Virginia Heath) just an hour+ long music video of archival footsge of (mostly) working class people on film in scotland. very charming, music is great (made for this film). cried over some of the footage but maybe i am just tired today so i'm a little emotional

i wish it had 8 routes i would love st least three of the cut routes

kai @kiwibrot.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

i took like 40 hours to do the first route but my approach to route 2 has been much more coordinated so i'm taking less time. also dietrich just has you fight like ten times as many actual battles as other routes (I feel) so it takes forever

Resident Evil (dir. Zach Cregger) this is the 2nd video game movie i've seen this month and it ALSO features a pregnant girlfriend on the phone while the mc goes through the video game horrors. is this the zeitgeist now? loved the creechures such good creeeeeechures yippieh yay

Hope (dir. Na Hong-jin) monsters played by surprise hollywood actors will return in hope: doomsday really fun, didn't feel like 3h very strange way to tell a story, making you wait for story (while giving you incredible action) and then going HAHA i got you the story was ELSEWHERE ACTUALLY

Computer Chess (dir. Andrew Bujalski) o to feel such empathy for the machine you made and not being understood by the man who has a child and a wife. to love and fear the creation to the point of needing to destroy it, lest it be used by the wrong people. strange, funny, sad, deeply compelling

The Chronoscope (dir. Andrew Legge) a 100% real documentary that uses a great selection of archival footage to uncover a forgotten invention from the last century. really incredible how much they filmed back then! it's on youtube, 20 minutes long, check it out: youtu.be/SCKYtPBVeuU?...

Castration Movie Chapter iii.ii Junior Ghosts—Premorphic Drift; a fragmentary passage (dir. Louise Weard) i have to get around to watching the other parts eventually. really interesting, truly making movie for the movie's sake. there's sth pure about it. also it's a tutorial on how to lose your job

kai @kiwibrot.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

BlacKkKlansman (dir. Spike Lee) to me the greatest impact comes in the dramatic irony. "there's no way america would elect a president like that", and then the film ends with archival footage from charlottesville and trump's speech about it. rightly gets criticised for liking cops too much though

kai @kiwibrot.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Guards (dir. Hito Steyerl) always strange to watch things that are meant for installation in a cinematic setting. sth i noticed: one guard didn't see himself as part of the museum. 'they' not 'we'. these guys seem divorced from their context and married to violence, from the past and the future.

kai @kiwibrot.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Museum Hours (dir. Jem Cohen) i was so drawn in by the subject-hood of every single detail that i felt like i was looking at a bruegel painting myself. it's so overwhelmingly human, every depicted person is implied to be a character with their own life. we just happen to be looking at two rn.

Van Helsing (dir. Stephen Sommers) gosh i was having fun the first half hour but it just draaaaags after that also somehow in this vampire werewolf movie where hugh jackman wears nothing but leather and has long wavy hair nobody is sexy 😭😭😭 dracula is so cunty but also terribly straight. booooring

Coyote vs. ACME (dir. Dave Green) endlessly charming. whenever one finds the unlikely success story of art that barely managed to escape the brink of death one must wonder how many other projects couldn't be saved. i'm so happy this didn't disappear as a loss on some tax records.

The Wolfman (dir. Joe Johnston) this is not a good movie. it's just kinda boring. but the transformation sequences are pretty good for what i'm trying to do. also there's a psychoanalytic reading here, but not at all because 'sigmund freud' has an appearance.
