The Pitters' Place

I mean even in the book his prison time really does break him down a lot to even get him on that path to revenge to begin with, but after getting out and finding the treasure he could have just chilled out somewhere (Perhaps accepting the treasure as some kind of divine compensation through his reli...

That is a lot of TOTK.

I played these through once about 16 years ago, on emulator. Was thinking about playing again with my wife now that they're available on the Switch. But that would require actually doing anything other than Tears of the Kingdom. So are you going to play the Oracle games now that you're done with TO...

Been a little while since I played both of these at this point. https://i.imgur.com/Rv1WfGUm.png Doki Doki Literature Club! (2017) - This is a western made visual novel that was really popular several years ago, largely because it was free to play and has a "meta" twist of looking cutesy w...

Haven't seen that adaptation of Monte Cristo, but reading up on it sounds very different from the novel I read. Still the cautionary aspects were more about his revenge ruining his soul (I'm guessing this film version leaves out the thing about Edmond's scheme accidentally leading to the death of a ...

Still haven't gotten around to Spider-Verse 2 yet myself, but I plan to watch after the Halloween season is done. 78. Avatar: The Way of Water (2022; James Cameron) Lots of criticism surrounding this one regarding story, characters and dialogue. I personally thought it was a good story told with won...

Honestly I'm kinda surprised IMDb even lets you view profiles anymore lol. It's been so many years now since the forums went away. But yeah I don't mind or anything, I left that public for a reason. Not everything is on IMDb though unfortunately and sometimes I'm just too lazy to go through effort o...

My 4K came in today. Unfortunately the video quality seems to be not up to par with the Japanese blu-ray.

When I was watching through the Best Picture Winners I was kinda dreading Amadeus since I figured it would yet another stuff Awards-bait period piece, but no it turned out to be really excellent movie. I think I've only seen the Director's Cut. Is the Theatrical Cut even available anymore? I was kin...

https://i.imgur.com/5OQdBVOl.jpg Resident Evil 4: Separate Ways (2023) - RE4's DLC finally came out and its probably the best DLC in the series. The Separate Ways campaign for the original RE4 is not something I was especially a huge fan of (The only reason to even play it really was to unlock Ashl...

70. After Earth (2013; M. Night Shyamalan) Everyone hated this one. I thought it was good. I liked Shyamalan's direction (some good set-pieces and beautiful scenery). I liked performances by Will Smith and Jaden Smith. Haven't seen this since it was in theaters but I remember liking it alright. 72....

https://i.imgur.com/njQxw0O.jpg Street Fighter 6 - Awful boxart is awful. Luckily the game itself rules.

https://i.imgur.com/iFpLyfml.jpg Magic Sword (1990) - Another one of the Capcom arcade games through SF6. This is an action platformer in the vein of stuff like Castlevania.

I can understand the rest, but getting all the Koroks seems a tad excessive IMO.

I lean towards Hollywood being his best, but I have both Kill Bills and then Death Proof at the very bottom.

Yeah I think theatrical Apocalypse Now is probably best paced version, but the other versions are interesting to have as a contrast. French Dispatch didn't land for me (I think Jeffrey Wright's section is the only one that kind of worked for me tbh, and even that has that kind of weird animated segm...

I think that just goes to show how necessary it is for Nintendo's franchises to be constantly reinventing themselves and trying new things. Even when I've really disliked some random sequel in whatever Nintendo franchise they're usually at least memorable.

I'm about halfway through FF16 and I think this legit might be one of the least engaging games I've ever played in my entire life. Plodding story that goes nowhere (Especially after fairly dramatic start that's riff on Game of Thrones and Berseria and such), flat as hell characters, terribly unchari...

Raxivace

Yeah I had the same thought about "finding Zelda" at that point. Maybe its supposed to play as Link somehow not realizing that Zelda is the dragon but that would be really silly.

Also its interesting the Goron stuff is last for you because that was the first one I did.

Raxivace

Love Badlands, Days of Heaven, Godfather II, and Tree of Life. I'm surprised to hear that about the extended cut of Tree of Life- I would have guessed that there would have been more Sean Penn stuff.

I never saw New World because I wasn't sure what cut to watch. Is there one you recommend?

Raxivace

Have you beaten TOTK yet?

I've been playing some Final Fantasy 16 recently and so far I have kind of mixed feelings, but I'm pretty early. People have talked up how much it lifts from Game of Thrones and Devil May Cry and such and I get why, but there's a fair amount of Evangelion and Tales of Berseria here too. I'm not real...

Yeah if you wait until main story kinda tells you to go find Spirit Temple, there's whole minor chain of events you do first that I'm guessing you don't have to do then.

Raxivace

I would count the Spirit Temple, but I think that's more sensible if you consider the actual build-up and getting to the Temples as part of the uh, Temples themselves. Getting to Spirit is fairly involved trek.

There are days I think Seven Samurai is the best film ever made.

I also liked Suicide Squad for the most part.

Stray Dog is wonderful film, though I never understood the people that called it the first "buddy cop" film since Shimura and Mifune seem to have more of a master/apprentice relationship in the movie IMO.

I know some people put hundreds of hours into BotW, but I probably only put 40 to 50ish between the main game and the DLC. TotK will probably be similar for me.

I haven't watched the video but I just assume its another continuity error or changed plan for the show.

I think I have slight preference for theatrical cut but the multiple versions sort of add to the mystique of Apocalypse Now for me anyways. Some version of AN is usually around my top 10 and I think probably the best thing to come out of New Hollywood. Brando gets all the love for his performance an...

Yeah I really liked that final boss; definitely one of the best in the game. The cycle reward is great IF you rush to do the quest as early as you can in a play-through which I did last time I played it. But if you save it for the very last thing, then I guess no reward would actually be worth it. ...

It's been too long since I've seen Cagliostro to really talk about but I remember not liking it much.
