Here’s the problem with making Spider the emotional core of Avatar 3:
I hate this character. No shade to the actor but this guy sucks. He’s annoying as shit. If I showed up to a party and he was there, I’d leave the party. If he was in my friend group, I’d have to make some really hard decisions.

The #scifi and the #gothic have always been entwined. Chinese ideas of the gothic is its own thing, and has long inspired SF writers in China. I'll be at the Mufant Museum in Turin on 23.11 to talk about how they blend into Chinese genre fiction, and Sinophagia, which is now out in Italian! #books

It wasn't deep. It didn't have much to say. But Xiao Xiao inspired millions to try Flash animation for themselves.
A Beijing artist made this series -- and turned stick fights into a phenomenon. We're exploring why and how he did it:

This framing now makes The Alamo Draft houses linking of this game to a series they did on Kurosawa Films (inspired by Ghost of Yotei) felt it should be the other way around though.

Ghost of Yotei finally helped me understand what Sony’s breed of tentpole game really is: old Hollywood epics. Grand craft showpieces that are destined to be dated. And from that perspective, Yotei really does deliver as a sublime moment in time. My review. www.polygon.com/ghost-of-yot...
Ghost of Yōtei is as close as PlayStation can get to an old Hollywood epic

Alien 3 is the best movie in the original trilogy because it ultimately contextualizes what Alien is about, being dispossessed. Instead of an easily empathetic cast we follow a prison colony. The audience is asked to humanize prisoners and to witness truly how much property matters over ppl (1/2)

Also let's be real. Hella white folks grew up with Nintendo. When I look at my black friends in the 90s - early 20000d we had Playstation, Sega Genesis, Dreamcast
Since today's discourse is on how "not everyone grew up with Nintendo", I'll reshare this: medium.com/@felipepepe/...
And reinforce that this is systemic - a consequence of US hegemony. It's NOT a personal attack on American journos, youtubers & gamers, but rather a reminder of our differences.
