Warren Spector speaking some truths here. They were quite happy to rerelease the game and make more money off it recently. Some wider acknowledgement of Epic Mickey's contribution to Disney history is deserved.

Oh, this looks COOL.

Hi, we're a new video game oral histories site. Want to read the story of Shadow of the Colossus, as told by 11 people who worked on it? Or hear what Will Wright has to say about Spore in retrospect? Or see previously unreleased footage of Nintendo's Sound Fantasy? Check us out at designroom.site

For @aftermath.site, we're in a boom period for fan translations of unique games that we never made it to the west. I focused on four: Kamaitachi no Yoru, Kowloon's Gate, London Spirit Detectives, and Innocent Tears, and spoke to the people behind the projects. aftermath.site/kamaitachi-n...

I'm still upset that the first Radical Japan set on Oshima came out and *I somehow didn't know about it* and missed out.

UK: Japan’s premiere iconoclast Shohei Imamura is showcased in our new edition of RADICAL JAPAN: SURVIVAL AND DESIRE. This box set brings together six films by Imamura - including three UHD world premieres - alongside new interviews and a 120-page book.

And I think this frame right here is exactly why I love the look of 70s anime: it's sketchy but precise, realistic but obviously still drawn and cartoonish--it just feels so unique to the art form I guess, without the limitations of the 60s and the complexities of the 80s

The NC-17 stamp on a NEW one-sheet from a major studio...we are so back.

Still thinking about how Oshii's Innocence vs episode 4 of Science Saru's fairly strict adaptation and how interesting his take on it is. What Batou walks away with is so different. When he tells the girl "do you realize what you did?" he's speaking primarily about the androids and how she-

I think it is best that people remember that a company and the people that work for said company are practically two different things. I love the people who make FF games and other JRPGs, but I don’t trust Square Enix the company at all.

New essay. Noir is often about men accepting a life lived alongside the darkness of the world. The Kid Detective is about one such case that has resulted in a deeply broken leading man. It also happens to be a very funny film. www.patreon.com/WyethLeslie/...

I've no desire to watch the Sex Purge movie, but the ungloving scene in Scorsese's THE AGE OF INNOCENCE or so much of Wong Kar-wai's work shows that you can make movies without nudity or sex sensual, romantic, and horny as all hell too. A lot of modern mainstream movies just feel glossily insensate.

Really great interview that breaks down the cores of the series and makes it all so much fun to think about:

Playsense interviewed me about Hyrule Interviews! I shared the video, but it had issues, so here's a transcript. It was a great chat! We touched on my history with Zelda and game dev, why the I do the project, game preservation, and how it's impacted my game dev work.

One of my favorites was when Potemkine posted this video of the 4K restoration of Three Colours, which some of the usual suspects were accusing of revisionism, that showed in exacting detail just how hard they worked to make them look like the theatrical premieres youtu.be/waMMm6FZNYo?...

They’re not always allowed to include them but any time Criterion or any other label puts a restoration demo on a release it’s a must-watch. It’s impossible not to be inspired by the work people do.

Matthew Dessem@matthewdessem.bsky.social · 2w ago

If you have the Criterion “His Girl Friday,” you should watch the special feature about the restoration of “The Front Page” even if you don’t care about watching “The Front Page” because it is genuinely uncanny.

I'm trembling while writing this: Kamaitachi no yoru—not the PC remake, not the iOS port, but the actual original SFC version—has been translated at last by ButThouMust, who graciously brought us an English patch for Otogirisou in the past. This is HISTORICAL.
