I rarely put tons of hours into any one game but if you add my Resident Evil 4 hours to my Resident Evil 4 Remake hours you’d clear 500 definitely

Row House just sent out this fascinating email. Riddled with easily explained errors. They just googled the year the film came out instead of its Oscars year. But I’m still most offended by the dig at How Green Was My Valley

Have asked this before and always like the responses. What are your biggest “I saw that in the first run cinema” flexes? Couple of mine:
Transformers: The Movie (1986)
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993)
Office Space (1999)

Cannot tell you how thrilled I am to have written about ten of my favorite short films from Sundance, one of which you can actually watch online right now. I cried at some, cackled at others, some were by existing favorites and others were fresh new discoveries. Long live short cinema!!!
Slices of life in the Sundance shorts section

Do you still want to read about Send Help? Or are you beholden to the now, unwilling to engage with a film from a whole week ago? Here’s me on the formerly new Sam Raimi movie in case you’ve been stranded on an island

Seeing lots of posts about listening to music in languages you don’t speak today and I wanted to shout out this record by Argentinian emo band Clamor. You’d think emo’d be especially beholden to lyrical comprehension but this has great effect even without it.
