After almost 40 years I decided to re-watch Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
What a crappy movie, jeez.... I cannot believe that back then people liked it and found amazing.

There are some really great alien abduction movies from around that time. I never got Close Encounters, always thought it was so stupid.
Have you ever seen Fire In The Sky? That's a good one.

It's above average, fun if you like alien movies with Greys. But there is one specific part of the movie that will really stick with you, and is super well done. You'll know it when you get there, no spoilers.

Kights of the zodiac.

Now, if these dudes have such righteous upbringings, why do they start half these movies, with them fighting in some sort of underground bloodsport casino ?

Shouldn't someone with their' pure heart be found in a soup kitchen, or African village installing solar ovens.

Hrrrm.. IDK, movie might not be the right format. It's not horrible as far as Live-Action adaptation goes, but the scales just aren't right. Every operational element is too much and not enough at the same time.

Overall, Knights of the Zodiac, I don't hate it.

Avatar 2009 out in 4K.

It's weird, cuz alot of the scenes have kinda bad CGI, and other scenes have really good ones. This also happens in a few places in the new Way of Water movie.

And every cgi scene has this weird grain simulator algorithm that makes everything fuzzy, or maybe that's part of the upsampling algo they've used.

Dragon Ball's green tint.

For years people have been complaining about this. It really only amounts to +10 G on the rgb value of the brighter grey/whites.

Which isn't that much. I suspect this is deliberate to reduce the overall brightness of white colors because of how much it's used throughout the show, it's pretty blinding/ glare like on most tv-sets/ bright animes.

There aren't good options otherwise, because if you reduced the blue channel, it'd be a yellow tint, if reduce green, it'd be magenta (pinkpurple) tint, if reduce red, it'd be cyan (blueish) tint. green tint is better than all other options including blue/red tints.

Dungeons and Dragons: Honour Among Thieves
That was really funny, great effects, interesting, they mentioned all my favourite games in it, I mean places from D&D - Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter, Icewind.

There was other Dungeons and Dragons movie in the past, 2000 or so, it wasn't good as this one, maybe someone watched it?

I think this franchise has alot of promise, They need at least a few non-silly actors to balance out the cast though.

It' can't be 100% nonsense.

So freaking good. A bit ago I saw the one where they had experimented on Vietnam soldiers during the war, making them unable to sleep. I loved that one.

I want to be careful here. I recall the pace being pretty slow, alot of these don't age well, and cause resentment later on.

With this one I'm ok, I know power of my nostalgia, the force is strong with this one, it will be fine

I know that cinematography of 90s might be weird, silly at times, but I love x-files so much that nothing will destroy my feelings.

I never watched this when it was on, but went all the way through during my TV binge in the pandemic.

Overall, it was OK but only about 1 episode out of about 4 was actually "good" in my opinion and only about 1 out of 10 was "excellent".

The "alien" subtext was weak and poorly handled, and it grew in significance but not quality as time went by and it became more and more implausible.

Lastly, the unrequited "romance" was continuously fumbled - over and over again.

Spy x Family, it's a really an anime for children, but extremely well made. One can see why it's highly recommended on anime of the year lists.

Although clearly most audiences would be too old to watch this.

Will say that oddly modern animes have taken up debanding filters too heavily, whereby all textures and lines look too soft. They went from none-at-all to over-the-top debanding.

I watched it after everyone was saying it was the best thing ever. I thought it was alright, kinda boring at points there was one episode where they had to do an interview to get into the school that was really boring which was easily the worst episode of what I watched. I never watched past episode 12, just didn't get why everyone enjoyed it so much. Which is a shame cause that premise is really cool, just it wasn't executed the best.

Just started Isekai Ojisan, the premise is pretty hilarious.

So you've all seen Iseknimes, it's the same thing but in reverse, the weird uncle goes to the other world, but wakes up from the coma, and now uses his magic powers in the real world.

Give it a go.

Been enjoying the new season of Always Sunny. It feels like a return to form after they jumped the shark last season. You can tell all the main characters are actually friends outside of the show, the chemistry is effortless.

IDK I thought it was fine, my dad as well, though there was nothing of substance, it's exactly what you expect and you only get what's in the title. To be fair it probably wasn't as boring because I tried to make some gyoza during the film and failed really bad lol, I will make a decent gyoza eventually though.
