Backrooms

Kane Parsons

Quite creepy and visually stunning. I would love to see it fleshed out a bit more, the movie felt a little short and with an abrupt ending. Will certainly be thinking about this for a long time.

On Falling

Laura Carreira

Haunting slow burn film about the struggles of underpaid gig workers in a technocapitalist society. Her situation feels relevant to everyone, in a world where machines increasingly automate everything, we all turn into cogs in a mindless machine.

Cuba (Winner of the Pulitzer Prize)

Ada Ferrer

Rich and detailed novel exploring the long and complex history of Cuba, a country which has been intricately woven into US politics for centuries but many people rarely think about. Unfortunately also quite relevant in the current political environment.

The Book of Coffee

Julian Baggini

An interesting meditation on the ritual of coffee drinking, veers into the rather judgemental and occasionally feels like the author grasps for straws to connect his zen ideals with coffee. Overall somewhat enjoyable, but my favorite parts were James Hoffman's introduction and especially afterword.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

Michael Jelenic

visually exciting movie with a good amount of fan service, ultimately let down by being clearly written for children, basically no plot i will also say if you decide to watch it and they say theres an after credits scene, i would skip it, it was extremely cringe and left a horrible taste for the whole movie

Mr. Nobody Against Putin

David Borenstein

Very moving and beautiful movie documenting the banal reality of a country descending into fascism, throwing ever escalating resources into a war they know they cannot win. A haunting indication of what could become of the US under our current war-thirsty, propaganda enthusiast administration.

Eternity

David Freyne

Very pretty movie and a funny concept but felt it was perhaps a but underdeveloped and cliche, maybe a fun romcom and raises some fun questions to ask your friends about but to me, not really a standout film.

The Handmaiden

Park Chan-wook

My gf suggested we watch this and I was NOT prepared. Cannot imagine what it would have been like to see this in theaters.

A Better Tomorrow

John Woo

Fun movie, full of humor and a strong message about the rapid commercialization of hong kong in the 80s.

I've played a few runs of this game and honestly do not get what the hype is about. The general "filling a box" mechanic is kind of fun but - the story feels extremely half baked - the art is kind of cute, but still feels like a demo - music is meh - fairly limited set of roaches / bonuses overall the game just feels kind of repetitive and half baked, even if the art style and concept are nice in theory.

This game has taken over all my free mental cycles. All day I think about breeding my cats. The horrors of the game are unspeakable, but it makes the rewards of success feel so, so sweet.
