Re-reading Lord of the Rings at the moment, and I'd forgotten how relentlessly Gandalf drags Hobbits.
"Of course, The Enemy has overlooked one thing: dipshits such as yourself, Frodo. Buffoons with fat feet and shithole burrows. Yes, perhaps your painful loser energy may surprise Sauron yet!"

Sanjuro (1962)
A competent sequel to Yojimbo, with far better comedic bits and swordplay abound. I really liked the heroic antics in this, though Yojimbo had more clever plans in it.
Loved the wide shots as usual, and the climactic duel was worth sitting through to the end. Truly an amazing shot.

I’d bring back Star Fox, particularly with a team-management style mercenary company in space vibe. Something akin to Xcom or the recent Battletech/Mechwarrior titles with pilot growth, air frame maintenance, etc

We just accept it because it’s always been this way but ‘Ringo Starr’ is a bonkers thing to call yourself when the other guys are John, Paul, and George. It’s like having a band where everyone else uses their real name and then the drummer goes yes please call me Crackers Creamsworth

The reason you sprinkle posts like "The brain is the Ass of the head" throughout your timeline is to preserve the insanity plea in case you ever need it

This is a decision that can only happen when the people who founded the company lost sight of the reason they established this tier / how they themselves started. The whole reason that simulcasting+free ad-supported tiers were innovated in the first place was to deter people from pirating the shows!
Crunchyroll Announced that they are ending the Free Ad-Supported Streaming on December 31st, 2025
(This allowed you to watch certain titles for free without an active sub with ads)
As of reporting there is no changes with the other tiers
