First Love is free on Amazon Prime right now. Don’t go in expecting a “Takashi Miike” film, but as a longtime fan, it is rad to see him flourish so well in unexpected ways. As ever with Miike, not perfect, but that’s hardly the point. Good movie.

Reached the ending of it yesterday, and Chicory is my GOTY by a large margin as of right now. Good, passionate stuff that gets it right. That world rules. Also, there was a small cameo that made me audibly gasp haha…

Went on a hike at the river with the dog and some friends after the Microsoft/Bethesda presentation. Did I miss anything good?

The Microsoft/Bethesda stream article is scheduled to go live at 12:30 EST tomorrow (show starts at 1:00pm EST), and I hope to see y’all there! Bit early to start drinking for me (*shakes fist*), but it should still be a good time!

After spending a few hours with each. Rift Apart seems like pretty solid fun, but Chicory: A Colorful Tale is that GOOD good shit. Great characters, story, dialogue, and gameplay mechanics so far. It goes pretty hard all around.

Hlarge! It happened!

Young Kevin thought something was funny...

Am I crazy or does my guitar have extreme “Carl from Jimmy Neutron” energy?

I saw the Demon Slayer movie today! It was a pretty good time, but I accidentally got a ticket for the wrong version, and I had no idea they did Inosuke so dirty in the english dub haha...

Watching Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood for the first time, and it’s pretty great! I also love that it’s rated TV-14 for “fear, language, and smoking” haha... WTF does “fear” mean?!?

Me, watching Dangus say even remotely positive things about the Sonic franchise:

Me, thinking about the ending to Mass Effect 3:

One Cut of the Dead is one of the most heartfelt love letters to modern film I’ve seen in the past 10 years. I can’t say anymore without ruining it, but watch it to at least the halfway point before giving up. I promise, it’s worth it.

The Falcon and The Winter Soldier’s first episode was basically just some “kid playing with action figures” bs, but every episode after gets better and better. By the end, it’s one of the better film/tv things Marvel has put out. Solid stuff.

I made this my lock screen about two years ago, the day I got my phone, and I don’t think I’ll ever change it.

I got my copy of Ask Iwata, and I’m looking forward to checking it out later tonight! Should be a pretty cool read!

I finally watched Promare! It didn’t quite reach the same glorious highs as Gurren Lagann, but goddamn did it get surprisingly close in a little over two hours. I had a lot of fun with it!

I was worried that the new Invincible cartoon wasn’t going to be willing to go to the places the comic was, but after the first episode, that is no longer an issue. It ain’t the damn near perfect translation The Boys is, but it’s still solid.

Hwayi: A Monster Boy is free on Amazon Prime right now. It’s from the same director as Save The Green Planet. Took him a decade to follow that classic up, but it does not disappoint. Really good shit.

I finished watching Devs (so freaking good!), and now I’ve got another huge, Alex Garland-shaped hole in my heart. Do y’all have any recommendations for movies or shows that might scratch a similar itch?

After a night of reckless financial decisions on eBay, and a couple months of waiting, I now have all five 1st print variant covers of the 1st issue of Seven to Eternity! Sending them in to CGC for grading once the shipping kit arrives!

I watched Father’s Day at the behest of Voodoome and Tricer, and it did not disappoint. Very wholesome film that the whole family can enjoy.

After watching Psycho Goreman, I decided to start looking into the director’s other movies and started with The Void (2017). It’s way darker and more serious, but still a great time for anyone into 80’s body horror stuff like From Beyond.
