IF and I do mean IF the leak regarding the Marvel cards soon to arrive in MtG is true, I find it problematic.
Aki Vs. Evil – Kevin Can F**k Himself
I know, I know, not a movie but I found this interesting enough to write about.
1977 Movie Retrospect
Why 1977? That is the year I was born (which does mean that I only have second-hand experience of this year). Also, it’s a weirdly important year in terms of movies. Also, I did plan to just do this for each year after my birth. My overall goal with these kinds of articles is to use different excuses to talk about different movies, which might hopefully lead someone to find something new to watch. This specific year has plenty.
Speak No Evil and the Lack of Trust in the American Audiences
TL;DR or afraid of spoilers: The remake is a fine movie, but nothing special
After this I’m going to be spoiler-ific on both versions of the movie. You have been warned.
Aki vs. Evil – The Blackening
This was very hard to find here in Finland. I guess there isn’t much in the way of audience for a movie like this here.
When Listening to Your Audience, Choose Your Data Wisely
Borderlands 4 was announced recently and they had an event around it at PAX. One of the things they mentioned was that they keep an eye on the discussions regarding the earlier games online. While various content creators were happy about this, I feel it’s a mistake.
MaXXXine Is Trying Too Hard to Be Smart
I have nothing against smart movies, but on the other hand, when a movie tries too hard to insert references that don’t quite work, it’s horrible.
Best and Cringiest of Magic’s Epithets
There would be plenty of content to mine here. You know, like trivia on which is not real and stuff like that, but I’m just going to go through the 1500+ cards, which I feel is quite enough.
I Have Questions About Blink Twice
Oh, Zoe (sorry, I couldn’t figure out how to do the proper ‘e’) Kravitz (the director of this movie) and Channing Tatum (second credited actor of the movie) are engaged. That could give you a new perspective to the movie (but we really shouldn’t read anything into that), especially as apparently they got together during the making of this movie.
Hey, spoilers… But I’ll give you a heads up before we get there.
Going Back to Movies from 2023 – Underseen Gems
Usually around this time of the year I will remake the list of my favorites from the last year, as I have seen more of those films and have more perspective.
