    Thoughts on Harakiri (1962)

    Wow. This was a masterclass in buildup and tension. I knew about Masaki Kobayashi's movie before - a scathing indictment of the samurai and the honor code that they profess to live by - but all the same, watching the movie had me hooked from start to finish. :scootangel:

    Thoughts on Galaxy Quest

    Finally getting around to writing up my thoughts on this one. I had heard plenty of good things about it from my parents, though I had yet to see it. Finally, we rung in the new year by watching "Galaxy Quest" with dinner.

    I watched Godzilla x Kong yesterday

    And all in all?

    It was fun. Good mindless monster mash of a film. Funny how much some of the stuff with Kong in the movie made me think, just a little, of Primal. If only for the lack of dialogue and the importance of character through action and expression.

    Happy Sunday to everybody

    Hello all. Just wanted to check in this Sunday (Easter Sunday, for any churchgoing types out there) and wish you all well.

    Hope that the year has been okay for everybody. March wasn't the best month for me, I was sick at the start of it and only around the last week have I really felt 100% again, but I'm hoping for things to pick up going forward from here.

    Best wishes, eh?

New Year, New Start · 10:34pm Jan 1st, 2023

Hello all. Here we are in the first day of the new year.

I hope that everyone found a good way to celebrate the passing of the previous year. 2022 was something of a mixed bag for sure. Some nice ups - I got to go visit my sister, and see her in person for the first time since before the pandemic - but some major downs as well; see, everything to do with my father's medical crisis through October and after.

Christmas this year was nice enough. I got some good books out of it, plus some new shirts, and a copy of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. Definitely looking forward to that when the time comes :yay:

New Year's was a busy time due to preparing for my aunt (and her dog) coming down to stay with us. But I have to say, looking back, or looking forward, I'd like to think I'm hopeful for what's to come this year.

Lord knows, 2022 had a lot of bad things happen throughout. But all the same... the world still spins onward. Time moves ever forward. And maybe it's just me, right now, but I'm trying to keep some spirit of hope towards making things get better, as we move further onward into this decade.

Take care, everyone. Have a happy new year, and stay safe out there.

Happy New Year. Here's hoping that it's a good one.

Happy New Year! ^^

Hey, glad you were able to get the Skywalker Saga. Hope you have fun with it. ^^

Here we are in the first day of the new year.

Where do they keep coming from? :applejackconfused:

2022 was one of those weird years where I remember more bad than good, and yet I come out of it feeling optimistic. :pinkiesmile: Although that owes more to what I feel I personally learned from it, so take that with a pinch of salt.

Happy New Year to you too. :) Take care as well.
