QuickTidal, on 02 February 2026 - 04:21 PM, said:Started FATE STAY NIGHT: UNLIMITED BLADE WORKS (advised to start here by multiple lists online)...and I like it...but I don't like it due to the MC (Shirou), I like it because Rin Tosaka is one of the best Tsundere's I've ever seen...she's a badass. I know this is her "route" so it's focusing on her a little more than Saber or anyone else...but I'm still into it. The fights are good, and the other characters are fun.
Anyways, solid daily watch now that I'm done the Railgun/Magic series.
I've heard it's based on a visual novel, but I have zero interest in that, so I'll stick with the anime.
Finished all 24 eps of this...Rin Touhsaka is still my fave character, and may be one of my fave anime characters ever.
Bur yeah, this was solid most of the way through. The tempo shifts in the back 12 eps to feature more action, but that's fine. I liked how it ended, and I'm glad we got a calm epilogue episode of "Where are they now".
Next up, the three FATE STAY NIGHT HEAVEN'S FALL movies, which I believe are Sakura's route and are much more psychological...so I'm looking fwd to them. Beyond that I don't have much interest in the original DEEN show from the mid-2000's (which is Saber's route), I'll just read up on it, and then I'll do FATE ZERO, and after that GRAND ORDER. -

That reminds me, have you seen Miracle Mile from 1988, with Anthony Edwards? It's like a pre-apocalyptic take on the "one crazy night" thing -- Edwards is just like a regular guy in L.A. who learns that nukes may be imminent. It's somewhere between After Hours and Repo Man, but slightly more of a thriller than both of those, but with plenty of room for the weird.
I have no seen it, I'll put it on the list...I've heard SOMETHING WICKED is also in that vein, just by Jonathan Demme, so I feel like I should check that out too.
I'm very particular about "weird" (Like I hate Lynch's stuff) but something like this where someone sane is thrown into completely the deep end of strange and absurd...hits me just right.
Same reason I like Murakami's AFTER DARK, as it follows the same dreamlike principles. -

Watched AFTER HOURS...and quite frankly, as someone who doesn't care much for MOST of Scorsese's work (my fave film by him is Bringing Out the Dead; if that tells you anything)...this film was really good. Like I don't know that it works without Griffin Dunne who is the PERFECT person to play Paul...his slow descent into the maddeningly insane night and getting progressively more unhinged as he tries to get home...like the absurdity of some elements were hilarious...like the bartender's keys to his cash register are inexplicably at his apartment...or Julie having the stupid bagel paperweight.....or mohawk night at an after hours club...like all of it is completely mental...every moment is thought out to be as absurd as it can be, so when Paul is incredulous about these things you're sitting there nodding along going "Yeah, what in the fuck?"...and then when he's explaining all the batshit stuff that happened to the male escort it's like he's seeing himself at the beginning of the film when he's still sane and the weird stuff only just started to happen.
Amazing. Probably my second fave film by him. -

I'm still taking some Japanese light novels on vacation, but my copy of TWELVE MONTHS arrived on Saturday, so I'm about 100pgs into that (it's amazing so far) and will be taking that with me as well to finish it up by the pool. The Juxtaposition of a destroyed Chicago and poolside at a resort is not lost on me, believe me. -

The Birthday Cake Incident: Update
Wife bought a pack of 6 cupcakes...the only cupcakes the store had were Superbowl cupcakes. Which made me laugh. I do not like football and the only relevance the Superbowl has for me is movie trailers.
Fine, So I had a cupcake last night. It was good.
The kids wanted a cupcake...one of the cupcakes had a football shaped plastic ring on it, none of the others did. My son laid dibs. I figured that was fine....so I let him have that.
Daughter comes down for a cupcake from her room...first thing she says when I open the pack so she can select one.... "Who took the ring?"
.....
WHEN I TELL YOU THIS SHIT NEVER ENDS YOU UNDERSTAND WHY....
