Hope (Na Hong-jin, 2026) /// What a combination of things and emotions. Still can't tell if it's taking the piss out of american hero disaster films and big franchises with cliffhangers or if it's a sincere sci-fi action comedy romp. Gripping first hour for sure.

A Streetcar Named Desire (Elia Kazan, 1951) /// Amazing to see this on a big screen. Two of the greatest performances in north-american cinema. Leigh and Brando coming from different productions of the play makes for such a compelling clash, so good! Leigh evokes pity and terror.

Resident Evil (Zach Cregger, 2026) /// Abrams is a good loser. A great companion to RE7 and the other more recent reboot games, putting Abrams (player-protagonist/us) in the shoes of the frightened little useless people we'd all be in this situation.

Silent Friend (Indikó Enyedi), 2025) /// What a curious film with rich ideas. Don't know what to make of it but it made me think about our relative natures.

Yellow Letters (İlker Çatak, 2026) /// Was more interested in The Teacher's Lounge. This one is even more bourgeois liberal ambivalence via academic kitchen table drama. Too precise of a film, it's too angry to make a good point.

Anahatan (Josef von Sternberg, 1953) /// I've been listening to YMO's (pre Orchestra, still Band) Asadoya Yunta for years, I had no idea it was a Ryukyuan folk song! Was a little surprised by the narration. I typically find this kind of VO annoying, condescending, faux-deep. But it works

The Invite (Olivia Wilde, 2026) /// A fun cinema watch, plenty of people laughing at a real adult comedy. Adult in the real sense of the word, not the american way. It was fun to go to this with a friend couple without them knowing what it was. I gave them a look across the bar type thing.

Sorry I havent posted anything in a long time, I have been enjoying a break from social media after releasing panthalassa, meanwhile we at Meia Calça have been working on our new game RipCord. If you want to find out more about that game you'll have to find an extra hidden secret in panthalassa 👀

Okay nevermind, just finished Kena, it's way better than Jedi Survivor. Ember Lab has some chops. They could definitely make an animated feature.

In a foul mood after finishing Jedi Survivor and immediately followed with Kena. Got upset that it's almost the same game, sigh

You can view Nintendo (or other corps') remakes/anniv. events like nations reiterating founding myths. E.g. a Zelda remake detethers the game from its original historical circumstances. And anniv events frame a series as originating with a single game that evolves in isolation, not in conversation

i few recent games have had me thinking about this, so i thought i'd write a fun thread on one of my favorite topics- flow and the architecture of spaces in game environments! this will focus on the interesting atavistic throwback design we're seeing in recent and upcoming ARPGs.

Tokyo Olympiad (Kon Ichikawa, 1965) One of the most beautiful things I've seen in the cinema. All of the american sports docs and broadcast took all their game from this. It feels so contemporary and fresh. First half an hour or so is such a testament to humanity.

people need to understand that games on steam largely do not ‘underpeform,’ they either hit the algorithmic tipping points and become viral successes or they do not exist. they sell bad day at a garage sale numbers. this is a reality constructed and encouraged by valve

Companion (Drew Hancock, 2025) Incredibly heavy-handed. It's got all the mainstream contemporary vapid buzzwords and manages to do very little with it. Kinda cute/light/incidental watch at home but I'd imagine I'd be irked if I'd watched it at the cinema.

Magellan (Lav Diaz, 2025) So much can be achieved with a still camera. A little anthropological at times maybe...? The lovely natural light is exemplar in a big screen.

Traffic Jam (Luigi Comencini, 1979) /// Italian anthology apocalypse. Reminded me of other films of the time due to some actors' presences and contributions. Depardieu/Miou/Dewaere, Rey/Molina, Mastroianni/Tognazzi/Giradot. Fairly funny with one truly horrendous scene that changed the tone entirely.

whenever i see people complaining about games being old and thus bad it’s generally the older enthusiast audience who have for years bought into the industry narrative of technological progress. this game from my childhood DESERVES a remake, as a symbol of its status, and to see it in 4KHD

Not keen on high-fidelity/realistic game visuals but to call them ugly is disservice to ugliness. There's a real cult of the ugly that is wonderful. The Sony, Microsoft, and now Nintendo OOT Remake stuff isn't necessarily ugly, just tacky crap.

Hell or High Water (David Mackenzie, 2016) /// Type of film that is kind of a bunch of nothing. It's got the outline of a film and it keeps you engaged for a decent while. It also disappears as soon as you stop watching. Enjoyed watching Bridges talking with a bunch of cotton in his cheeks.

Lady Snowblood (Toshiya Fujita, 1973) /// Great fun. Adore how halfway through they ditched the period music and just went full 70’s funk jazz. Makes me wish that western exploitation films paid a little more attention to framing and production.

Captain Haddock tries to say "What a week, huh?" but because he is waiting for his new indie videogame to be revealed he begins collapsing into a curve of depressed space time that distorts his perceptual reality beyond the point of comprehension, his best friend Tintin collapsing in on himself like a paper lantern, Snowy meanwhile is simultaneously alive and dead, his existence stretched out across the entirety of human history. The captain just wants the PC Gaming Show to happen already, but he knows it is the final showcase of SGF and for that reason will appear to get further away the closer it gets, a paradoxical logic to the captain at this moment in time, seems more real than reality itself.
