Damn, his woman hating role in Blow Out makes so much sense now.

Close-Up (1990)
The best fiction often feels like documentaries and vice versa. No one understood this better than Abbas Kiarostami who blurred the line so deeply in this groundbreaking masterpiece that something else was born. Neither fiction nor documentary but a new, purely cinematic reality.

I meant memorable in creakiness, which helped to pull me through. Same feeling that Megaman Zero 1 gives me and why I prefer that game to the more stale Zero 2.

At least it's memorable slop. Harmony of Dissonance though is just a snoozefest.

Ain't this the guy who used to plaguarize Hbomberguy?

Never heard of this show before, from the images it's giving me Laputa vibes. How close is it to that?

Mostly down to the fact I blame MGR for the parry craze that were currently in. It was an option in other games before but that was the first one that made it a core mechanic.

Some would say MGR did more damage to action games than Soulslikes ever did.

Dumbass hired a small team to work with him when his previous games don't even sell that well.

The JRPG hater using the word "grinding" unironically.

Meet Me in St. Louis (1944)
The best and most beautiful musical of the Golden Age is also a film for all seasons. Perfect for Valentine, Christmas and even Halloween (yes, I'm being serious).

Wait till you learn that this is the season where they travel into the future so these are actually future elves.

Have you played Zone of the Enders 2?

That same indie RPG put its best content behind doing chores so you can't say it itself didn't tap into that "must see everything" mentality.

F For Fake (1973)
Welles' most fun film and maybe the best edited piece of cinema ever made. It's also arguably his most influential work since, for better or worse, it laid the groundwork for every terrible video essay on Youtube.

Haven't played TLOU2 myself but if you want just the gameplay, couldn't you play that roguelike mode they added?

How dare you put Only Yesterday at B.
That film is Takahata's masterpiece and Ghibli's second best overall.

They're both extrinsic motivators so it's more correct than you want to admit.

Does a meteorite squashing them count as natural?

Sorry Nadia, my inner Nolan hater is hard to control. I'm sure FF14 is fine.

A Man Escaped (1956)
A paradox: A materialistic film about dirt, wood and steel that may just be the most metaphysical of all films. Or rather, in Bresson's hands, there is no distinction between the two.

Instead of doomscrolling, people should be sidescrolling.

It's very kind of you to be thinking about those who follow you for gaming but have to be subjugated to all the wrestling clips. And vice versa I suppose.

Don't like comparing games to movies but I have to say that the sense of awe when entering Gaur Plains always reminded of this moment.

Eyes Without a Face (1960)
After making short documentaries on Nazis, industrialism and slaughterhouses, George Franju kept those subjects in mind when he made this french horror classic. It's influence is far and wide; from John Woo's Face-Off and all the way to the New French Extremity.

This tracks with what seems to be color-coded parriable projectiles but the "hating" comes from the melee attacks which seem to be more universal.

Would a fair count. If so; Henry King's State Fair.

Anyone actually saying this is basically admitting they only watch films for the plot which, at that point, you might as well go read a plot synopsis on Wikipedia.

Does any 2d platformer actually have good boss fights?

Excited to hear your eventual thoughts on Prime 3. I think 2 has gotten its flowers over the years but 3 still feels slept on.

Caring about theme in movies is like caring about lyrics in songs.

A Brighter Summer Day (1991)
I'm not even gonna try to summarize this film. It's 4 hours long and has like 25 recurring characters, all the while serving as an ethnographic epic of Taiwan at a time when it had lost its heritage. Needless to say, this is a feast of a movie.

Is this meant to be a 2001 reference or am I too cinema pilled?

It's narrative to the extent that Okami is. If you want you can unlock the hard mode from the beginning by inputting a code cause admittedly its kinda easy.

Shame cause you missed out on Platinum's best game; Bayonetta Origins.
