Read The Croning by Laird Barron. It was good, but I think I like his short story format better. It almost read like a bunch of short stories all pressed together. Hope he continues to practice with the novel format and really gets to cooking. I’d also be down for him to write his take on some folklore/fairy tales


wowee thanks again Dendy

Continuing my Hunter X Hunter rewatch, god I love Knuckle so much. Haven’t got there yet but an all time moment I never hear commented on is Knuckle getting revenge for Shoot’s honour




Thanks Pablo and Sub-Actuality for the great sigs!

those two rule. chimera ant's cast in general... togashi is so good at making guys who would normally be throwaway bit characters memorable & getting the reader to pop off for them

gonna use spoilers since Pablo just started up

I read the chimera ant arc as it came out originally then I guess I watched the anime week to week too but it's been a decade. So watching the raid play out in a binge is incredible. I'm so tense. This whole arc has been even more incredible than I gave it credit for.

Crazy to think that the author of HxH also made Yu Yu Hakusho. Truly a master of the craft.

got back from seeing Asteroid City and it was very good. kinda confusing at first since it's like a frame narrative in a frame narrative? but once i got that, then it was fun seeing Wes Anderson buying into himself and filming the result. Jason Schwartzman especially was ftw.

i tried reading a bunch of old pulp fantasy/dying earth standbys to get a sense of the tradition those books were participating in (Moorcock's Elric books, some of Vance's Dying Earth books) but none of them grabbed me like New Sun.

Have you read the night land or the house on the borderland at all?

The one-take prison fight was epic but I accidentally looked at the background and saw the extras kind of just jostling each other around and it took me out of it.

I liked “Her” and I’m a bit of a Joaquin head but I did the same during that scene when the real life chick is telling him he’s hosed and some crew guy is walking around checking wires and poo poo in the shot. Lol

That’s one of the parts they truncate a bit. In the manga only Buhara eats pigs. Menchi asks for sushi and they don’t know what it is so people serve her full fish wrapped in rice balls lol. Han I knows what it is due to being a ninja ofc but still fails. You also see hisoka submit his and be rejected too!
