I must be getting that age where I complain about everything. . . But why are films so dark and desaturated now? I feel like it goes well beyond a stylistic choice. It's like we have forgotten how to light scenes and use colour grading effectively.

ALT: Games 2026 ruled, I'm glad I made time after missing out last year. What a good vibe.
