Wanted more Adam Scott in my life so I watched his Netflix movie "Little Evil." I'm not gonna say it was a great movie, but I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected to.

Saw Train to Busan on Netflix last night.

It does so very much right. Possibly the best zombie movie yet made.

Okay, I am not gonna link it due to the restriction on political discussion: But Weird Al's "America is Doomed: the Musical" take on the debate as an NYT video op-ed is absolute fire. Go watch it.

I felt called out by the first scene of Save Yourselves, as I was watching with one leg on Darcy's lap and a hand on my phone as she was juggling remotes trying to finalize the new TV setup.

I was fortunate enough to watch it not even knowing it was a zombie movie, I just heard it was a good Korean Thriller

Game On,

Digimon Last Evolution Kizuna was really touching, especially as it's a series I grew up on. It concludes the original Digimon anime series.

Interestingly it's followed up with a TV anime reboot with the same characters. Kinda like Evangelion Rebuild (though the latter may be a direct sequel where the world was remade)

A friend gifted us with a stereo receiver after hearing we had one on the wishlist. Our living room surround sound is now connected to the Xbox and media center PC and is wonderful. Rewatching Fate Grand Order: Babylonia has been greatly improved with all of the noble phantasms sounding boss.

So, I started watching Invincible. At minute five I was ready to give up on it, thinking "ugh, yet another piece of lazy writing with Superman as a villain" but the thing is too well done to put down, grimdark nonwithstanding. I'm on volume two, and so far its seems like a new iteration of the experiment that was Pax Americana (but with off-brand expies... which would liken it more to Watchmen, but I don't want to use that comparison since similarities end there). This time, the premise is
"what if Krypton sent people to other planets to invade them Sayian-style?"
(not really a spoiler since tells start real early on and it's fully declared before volume 1 ends but eh).

On that note, if you liked Madoka, you'll like Wonder Egg Priority (made by the same team sans Kajiura). It's several levels of fucked up.
