This Weeks Schedule
Here is the schedule for next week (ending June 6). While the early part of the week is my usual muddling through video games with delusions of adequacy, Friday will see a special treat! We're doing a collaboration with Hyasynth Live and screening a 101 year old film that is genuinely historic.
Grass: a Nation's Battle for Life is a fascinating documentary and is generally considered to be only the second ethnographic documentary ever made. Telling an epic story about the migration of a nomadic tribe in Iran, the film itself also has a wild story, which we will be delving into on stream. Don't miss this. It's neat! As usual, streams start at 6pm EDT / 9pm UTC except Friday's stream which will be at 9pm EDT / 1am UTC at https://www.twitch.tv/brickmuppet
*****
Tonight though, at 6pm EDT / 9pm UTC, in the aftermath of last Thursday's unfortunate turn of events, we will be spending the evening in a desperate search for polychromes, as we continue to explore New Eridu in the bombastic, high-energy, fighting gacha, Zenless Zone Zero.

Project Hail Mary
I had not been to a theater in about 2 years.
However, I had heard good things about this film and against my better judgement I spent WAY more than movies used to cost to go see it.
I'm really glad I did.
This film is excellent, being a very enjoyable thriller that keep providing twists and surprises.
Thing is: This review has been sitting in draft for 2 weeks because the film is SO full of twists that's it's hard to review without spoilers. (The audience is not told what is going on at the beginning of the film and figuring it out is a major part of the movie).
The film is a surprisingly hard sci-fi flick, and features some aliens that are genuinely alien...and yet relatable...frequently....mostly. Except when they aren't.
The film is a thriller and after a bit of tension build-up it delivers the thrills in rapid succession and in great quantity. However, the movie is also literate, thoughtful, and poignant.
This film is Absolute Cinema.
It's one of the best films I've seen ever, and despite my aforementioned hiatus, I used to go to the movies quite often.
If you can find it in theaters I HIGHLY recommend it. It really is best viewed on a big screen. If you can only find it streaming, well I STILL recommend it. And you won't pay as much.
Just go watch it.
