The Promised Neverland’s premiere shows a lot of….promise. That could have been more eloquent. The Promised Neverland (2019), an adaptation of the Manga of the same name currently running in Weekly Shonen Jump, has premiered and I want to talk about it because man, I liked it. I liked it […]
Kyoko: Life is dissappointing, isn’t it? Noriko: Yes, it is. I am not old, but I am now old enough to appreciate Tokyo Story (1953). When I had watched Ozu’s revered Magnum Opus, I was 18, I had not yet moved out of my parents house, and I hadn’t truly grown […]

Goddamn, Steven Wilson knows how to write a melody. Though he’s better known for crafting intricate prog-music, having a million side projects, and making sure that you forget what joy feels like (don’t watch this if you want to be happy ever again), and being the modern equivalent of every […]
