Mike @verypedestrian.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I love that every O’Bannon script is a different subgenre of horror, D&B hits better than anything else on the procedural thriller/descent into madness level except maybe Jacob’s Ladder. 010
Mike @verypedestrian.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Thinking I’d slip back into work for two days before a long weekend was a mistake tbh. Haven’t been on a Skytrain or had to go to the bathroom in public, yet. 010
Mike @verypedestrian.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I paid out the nose for the sake set because we were near a tourist-friendly temple, but yes! 110

Mike @verypedestrian.bsky.social · 06/10/2026At a fancy Tokyo knife store- Him: oh man, that one looks amazing, you see it? Her: yeah. Him: but I like that one too. Her: OK. Him: should I get that one? Her: it’s not like you’re going to use it. He followed her out the door not buying anything. 000
Mike @verypedestrian.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I fucking love Dead and Buried and I consistently plan ambushing friends with it, but I had multiple run ins with this movie in Japan and didn’t buy. Something about the art didn’t gel with me! 000

Mike @verypedestrian.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Holy fucking shit, Japan made a game show out of the dumb Wii bowling mini game I’m moving to this country. 100
Mike @verypedestrian.bsky.social · 02/10/2026In the sip-on-whiskey-from-our-private-onsen phase of the trip. Billionaires could be doing this full time instead of ruining our lives, and that’s why I’ll never forgive. 000
