jetpack_monkeyStarted the week out of it after my second vaccination jab. Had to take Sunday off of work.
I spent most of the week playing through Disco Elysium a second time. This time I went in on physical attributes. It's unlocking a lot of weird monologue asides, but not a lot functional. It is also locking me out of a lot of options I took for granted in my charisma/intelligence playthrough.
Then Friday came and it was all Mass Effect all the time baby! Which was somewhat dampened by a depression wave that hit hard Saturday. I'm playing female Paragon Infiltrator, romancing Liara (but you bet your sweet butt that I'm dropping her like a hot potato for Garrus in ME2).
Movies I've seen before are in italics
Ginger Snaps (2000)
The Raven (1935)
Godzilla vs. Spacegodzilla (1994)
sol_se hadn't seen Ginger Snaps, so I was into it. Still a great werewolf film with a lot of fun layers. The faux suicide aspect is... a lot, though.
We tried to watch The Strange Case of Dr. Rx (1942) but there was such a horrifically racist depiction of one character's servant that we just noped out. We switched over to the other classic horror movie Peacock had on offer: The Raven, featuring Bela Lugosi at his most unhinged. Poor Karloff is wasted, though.
Godzilla vs. Spacegodzilla is one of the most inept kaiju films I've ever seen. Bad editing, bad writing, a clear angle at toy sales. It underutilizes both Mothra and BabyGodzilla, which is a crime in my book.
