I have absolutely no motivation to keep watching Survivor 49, not one person there I'm rooting for or interested in

It's clear that when the US wants a ceasefire deal, one miraculously occurs. Makes the "working tirelessly for a ceasefire" stuff from last year even more disgusting.

Neither did I until I heard Mike Flanagan point it out in the audio commentary!
So well hidden initially but once you see those hands it feels impossible to miss lol

Excuse the bad photo but this ghost crouching under the piano has to be the best background ghost in Hill House

Photo of episode 5 oh The Haunting of Hill House:
Young Nell in the foreground looking off the side to Theo. Behind her, the figure of a ghost can be seen faintly crouching under a piano, most visible by its white hands placed on the floor with fingers spread apart

Incredible vibes in that movie, for me it falls apart a bit once they meticulously explain everything behind the central mystery. All movie long we've been primed to vibe and experience emotionally so the complete change of modes to a detailed explanation is jarring and incompatible with the rest

"you are taking in the human centipede of content from the very end of the line" is such a good way of describing AI

How do you even come up with the shit they did in Bring Her Back (complimentary)

Daniel Tarik 🇵🇸 @danieltarik.bsky.social · 4d

Definitely the worst overarching plot and worst big bad. It does however have some absolutely amazing individual episodes (but also two of the worst lol)

Daniel Tarik 🇵🇸 @danieltarik.bsky.social · 4d

Completely agree, Flanagan's character focused approach is exactly what I gravitate towards and when he really has time to dive into long form storytelling, it just works beautifully. The non-linear storytelling and how he recontextualizes scenes from different viewpoints is just brilliant

I can't recommend it enough, truly a masterpiece (and probably the best thing Netflix has done). Perfect month for it too!

I recently imported the Blu-ray and the difference is crazy, you forget how much compression impacts streams cause the 1080p Blu-ray looks better than the 4K stream

That PC port can't come soon enough

Made the mistake of buying my boyfriend Silksong for PS5 a few weeks ago which means I won't be able to play Ghost of Yotei for a while still

The fact that he somehow even convinced them to give him a physical release with extended episodes and audio commentaries is a small miracle

Just wish we got that for the shows beyond Bly cause it looks so much better on disk than on streaming (but with their deal dead I don't ever expect that)

Still from The Good Place with the captions edited.

Top half: Eleanor with her arms out, arguing, “I mean… When did Silent Hill become about feminism?”

Bottom half: Chidi in front of a chalkboard for Ethics 101. A screenshot from Silent Hill 1 on the board. Screenshot is of the head cult lady proclaiming, “My daughter will be the mother of god.”

Chidi argues back: “Silent Hill 1”
