Somehow this was one of my favorite shows when I was five.
At work a couple years back I found an Ontario tourism video from the 80s hosted by him.

I had to watch the film Battlehsip for work to make sure our copy worked
this movie is a boilerplate and boring sci-fi action alien invasion thing based on the Hasbro toy for 2 hours
and then Taylor Lautner tells the old Navy vets to drop anchor while doing a hard starboard turn while rushing towards the aliens and makes the USS Missouri perform a multi-wave boat drift and I realized that the movie is my kind of stupid. itâs just a shame it takes two hours to be stupid

Battleship is only boilerplate at a high level of abstraction, it is truly deranged right from the first scene

I work right around the block from it, so en route to seeing Only Lovers Left Alive tonight, I drove by Jack Whiteâs house. It made me realize that theyâre going the wrong way on a one way street in that scene (although thanks to the Gordie Howe Bridge construction, itâs currently two way).

Not to jinx it but Digimon: Beatbreak is good so far.
Posession was kind of cool but also felt like three hours of Pathologic dialog.
Police Story: What a ride. Truly, Jackie Chan in his prime could sell anything, even a story where heâs the coppiest of cops. It made me realize that the thing missing from modern action movies is the tangible destruction of shit.
Bottoms: Real good. No notes.
Superman (2025): Good vibes, but needed a different script, with a Daily Planet : Justice League ratio in the other direction, a lot more Clark Kent, and a plot that doesnât hinge on âconsensus exists, can be shifted by the news mediaâ.

The closest thing we have to a Silent Hill movie (much more so than the movie that bears the SH name).

i recently watched in the dark (clifton holmes, 2000) which features multiple scenes of the protagonist playing silent hill 1 (walking in a straight line through the fog)

after Shin Godzilla and Shin Kamen Raidaaa, time to cross off the third Shin movie of them series, Shin Ultraman.
Whatâs up with the ass-grabbing Lady in this movie ⌠kudos though for the rest of the cast not giving a shit and just ignoring it, that gives it a wayyyy more sinister/damning undercurrent reading from the outside, i.e. that says more about society/everyone around than the groper(ette) that doesnât have a reading on social etiquette.
That aside, even though we got once again a best-of weird angles/shots, you could tell that Anno was on the team, but not helming this thing 
⌠maybe because i could follow the plot and roughly understood what was going on?
in any case, who can hand over the $$$ to Mr Anno for a Shin Gamera up next, pretty pleaaasseeeee?

I honestly think I like his Cutie Honey (which is very much a precursor to this trilogy) more than Shin Kamen Rider or Shin Ultraman. The Tokusatsu vibes are closer to my headcanon. Modern prestige Kamen Rider stuff in particular (this and Black Sun) tries to get way too much mileage out of the scheming pathos for my taste, I much prefer eg the finale of the original Kamen Rider Black when the motorcycle gets possessed and starts âcryingâ (water on headlights) then sacrifices itself by like driving straight into an oil drum to avoid having to hurt Kamen Rider. Thatâs the level I appreciate these on⌠Godzilla works for me much more than the other two.

finally was in the mood for watching this, and it was correct to wait until i felt ready for it.
What an intense thriller this became, ooofffff. Taking contemporary discussion culture and putting it in a school-setting was a nifty idea to reflect our day-to-day medial reality, and allows to illustrate the dichotomy between each individual craving privacy yet having to resist the urge to go for ultimate video evidence (ironically at a point in time before AI manufactured evidence becomes widespread available) while also showcasing how personal ideals, beliefs, values and social role models (against ourselves and the next generation) have to be reevaluated and, more crucially, where to move goalposts and where to stop.
and that last part is the most clever thing this movie does, it avoids taking a
truth will prevail!
kind of stance, and invites to discuss what a new social contract may look like.
Def liking this one!

I just watched Untold: The Liver King during playing turn-based game, I love this documentary about this influencer and I believe thatâs THE ducumentary about all the influencers, singers, movie stars and politicians. At the 95% times, seriously, itâs a typical boring American story, childhood, turning points, lost, and blah blah blah. And the rest of 5%, he and his family image quickly turn to a big lying bitch crew, not only cholesterol scandals, I mean the whole lying family, his sons and wife is all fraud gang and itâs super funny that compare with this whole family, all his sneaky ex-salesmen are edited into a low-level lying player LMAO.

I think the thing I enjoyed most about Shin Ultraman, having only seen it once, is that it tried to actually tie Ultra Q into the main plot, which is pretty funny when the original show just doesnât even acknowledge Q having happened at all. Iâd need to watch it again to develop any more thought about it, but I do also recall it having at least a little bit of the goofiness of the original SSSP as well, though I donât think there was anyone who matched the silliness of Ide for me.
