It's called Aterrados and it's very entertaining. Just wall-to-wall ghosts. You could not fit more ghosts in this thing. Every suspenseful pause is just more ghosts.

I'm a much better Lies of P player this second time around so I think I can fairly assess that Laxasia the Complete kinda blows. Cheap moveset and you pretty much have to integrate acid into your attacks to whittle her down. It was much easier this time, but not satisfying.

Rifling through the (fantastic!) Pants World book and finally, I feel seen!

A cartoon image. A man stands in the background saying, "We need you back, you're the best."

Another man, unassuming looking, stands in the foreground in front of a sink of dirty dishes, he has a towel over his shoulder, he replies, "I don't write film criticism anymore, Tom. I'm out of the game."

It's tricky because my family ask me every so often, "we were just watching the news, are you safe, is everything okay?" and producing my regular "Yes, but" replies is getting increasingly more convoluted.

Considering the GOP have vacated their oath to the Constitution and no longer have any interest in upholding rule of law or separations of power, there's little reason to believe power can be peacefully transferred in the future. So is there a way out?

I think Pritzker's correct and the Nat. Guard deployment is to normalize their presence in time for elections & election interference. The question is, what countermeasure is left? It seems the sole strategy now is hope Trump passes away and his support goblins start infighting.

Have the Kino Blu but probably won't be able to say no to this. Rosi one of the greatest filmmakers who still doesn't get his due.

Listing for a Radiance Blu of Francesco Rosi's Illustrious Corpses.

It's cool that every supposed safeguard to prevent this has failed because an entire political party has decided to abandon their duty because they realized people don't actually like them.

Trump calls for Brandon Johnson and JB Pritzker to be imprisoned

Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also!

It's kinda surreal my brother is flying into Chicago for a business trip and I've been telling him it should hopefully be okay because he's white but there'll be a military presence etc.

Three brands of tahini at the store. Two, including the store brand, were products of Israel. Gotta read the fine print. Scored me some Turkish tahini. Stay safe out there folks.

I've mostly resisted 88 Films barebones releases but apparently I am too weak when Amazon drop the price to <=$10
