If you're in the mood for an October creature feature give this underappreciated gem a chance. boxd.it/bkW67B

A ★★★★ review of Rogue (2007)

Nintendo love Paul Verhoeven films. Their influences can be felt in every Mario game.

Just saw these stills from Akira Kurosawa's High and Low and said "Good heavens" out loud.

Man peering out of a bed of flowers with a reflection shining back from his glasses.

Back facing shot of a man watching sail boats from behind a fence.

Silhouette of a man pulling a gun on another man as he looks at the backdrop of the mountains

Mustached man gripping his briefcase tightly, face scrunched up in a scowl, as he rides in a filled passenger car.

The September GAJ Podcast episode has been live for weeks. Really making this post fashionably late here. 😎

John starts what will become his Silksong addiction, Michael reflects on his one moment of restraint, and Jessie posits when it's okay to drop media.
