And some, like myself, just get older. I don't really feel like typing away as much as I used to anymore, or spending time on the internet in general, it has become quite an awful place.

Couple that with the fact that social media has effectively devastated forum mentality, which means next to no fresh blood income to rejuvenate this place, and there you go. Times have changed. The memories made will stay fond ones forever though; no one can take that away from me.

All of this exactly. I do wish that the admin group had passed the keys to folks who could be more active in running and updating, but at the same time there'd be a likelihood of someone taking over that was entirely too invested in trend-chasing and clickbait articles.

We're not what we were ten years ago but at the same time, there's nothing wrong with a nice, quiet corner of the internet to chill and yak about spandex and rubber. There's not a lot of quiet spots left anyway...

Last night I watched I saw the TV Glow.

I have not been able to stop thinking about it since.

I've been wanting to watch that with friends lately, would it count as a horror movie for like, a Halloween marathon?

Also I've never given a shit about Transformers but I saw that new movie on a whim and goddamn, that was sick, what the hell

IMHO, I wouldn't say so. First of all, this is a drama, also with a strong dose of art house. Very David Lynch style. You can watch it for general development, but as a horror marathon and shared viewing, it's better to choose something more lively.
P.S. I hope I haven't wandered into spoiler territory.

Does it count as a horror movie? Yes, absolutely.

For a movie marathon? No, not at all.

It isn't a movie where there's some scary monster stalking people or a murderer on the loose, or the typical horror tropes you'd want out of a horror movie marathon. It is... deeply personal and atmospheric. It's the kind of horror movie where everything is up to interpretation while having a clear purpose and reading.

All I'm going to say is that it will hit people like us right in the heart.

Yep, that's a good way to put it.

I saw Indiana Jones V The Dial Of Destiny the other day.

It was an OK movie but it was one they didn't need to do a 5th movie but it was one that turned out to be good surprisingly.

I liked it actually.

That's about what I've heard everywhere else.

Happy October 1st.

I watched Ultraman Z for the first time since our Geats watch party tapped out during episode 2. The dub was better than I thought it would be, Z's line delivery is what sold me alongside Sevenger's entire existence.

Now I'm having a crisis of faith on if Kamen Rider is for me anymore. Rider in general feels like a chore, new or old season. With how much merch is pouring out and with Ultraman being easier to watch without sailing the internet seas, I'm twisting myself into knots thinking about children's shows. Has this happened to anyone else? Or am I just crazy?

On the plus side, I saw my first glimpse of Gridman and it put hearts in my eyes.

Don't worry, this is a perfectly normal feeling. People's tastes change all the time. Two years ago I got sick of watching Kamen Rider and took a break from toku altogether and got into visual novels. I just got back into toku like a month ago to watch Gavv, but yeah, hobbies should be something enjoyed on your own terms.
