there is considerably less integrity in AI than the absolute crummiest 2010s DTV movie that can only afford Cage for 40-60% of the runtime

my favorite part of Exorcist: The Beginning is that there was clearly a studio note saying something to the effect of, "Needs more STAIRS"

3 is an actually great movie. the others are at least amusing!

There’s simply no shock value in encountering a new, Hannibal-esque corpse sculpture around every corner, or in mangling your arm every time you save your game by plunging it into a sharp-edged save orifice. When there’s been some putrid meat golem at the end of every Resident Evil for 30 years, depiction alone no longer does the job. The game can’t conceive of how to intertwine its mechanics with its horrors for greater impact, so breaking one of the finite lockpicks stings far more than ripping out Aidan’s stitches.

i don't love that my last three assignments have been Resident Evil: Lovecraft, Resident Evil: Twin Peaks, and Resident Evil: Hellraiser

"The Cenobites of Clive Barker’s Hellraiser series weren’t always mutilated torture mavens. As humans, they sought out terrible new experiences in their dissatisfaction with earthly pleasures. Essentially, they were bored. Playing Hellraiser: Revival, it’s easy to envision how they must have felt."

drives me nuts every time there's some streaming service sequel, remake, or re-adaptation

@midfalutin.bsky.socialOct 6, 2026, 2:27 AM

would it have killed Netflix to also license the 1955 East of Eden for a few months or something

@midfalutin.bsky.socialOct 5, 2026, 4:09 PM

@midfalutin.bsky.socialOct 2, 2026, 5:05 PM
