@artschooldrop Its basically a video game or like a theme park simulator ride video. All action, flat characters, lots of cameos, lots of neato spaceships. Its the best movie you could make without the average Disney Movie Watcher throwing a fit.
A tentative announcement - the pre-launch page is now active for a new book @stefantosheff and I have been working on. Expect a kickstarter SOON! (link to the pre-launch page below)
I've updated of the 1st chapter of my on-going dark fantasy comic, TIME WILL DEVOUR HIS CHILDREN, - 20 new pages - 3 reworked scenes, and visual and dialogue tweaks throughout for better flow.
PWYW, with a free update for ppl who already bought the file:

Haven't kept up with Chainsaw Man but every few months it seems like Fujimoto just decides to create another terrible woman and every time it goes over like Dragon Ball introducing a new level of Super Saiyan.
In one of the first scenes a character casually mentions she rides motorcycles, to set up a big motorcycle sequence at the very end. Nothing is a throwaway, everything is a Chekhov’s gun. The Rian Johnson school of unsubtle filmmaking.
Thinking about how Nope does that annoying Save The Cat thing where every single detail has to be set up and come back to be important later. I wish it was a little messier lol.
Trying to watch a bunch of horror movies in the lead-up to Halloween. Watched "Skinamarink" and "Nope" so far, I enjoyed both but wish each of them was like 15% more upsetting.
@boring_person3 I'll look into those. Maybe "upsetting" is the wrong word because searching for upsetting horror just brings up gore/torture-porn stuff, which isn't necessarily what I'm looking for. I want something emotionally upsetting, miserable, or intense.

@boring_person3 Most of the promising new series the past few years have been cancelled prematurely, its pretty much just Sakamoto Days and Akane-Banashi worth reading now.
(Though if you count Jump Plus there's Chainsaw Man, Dandadan, and maaayybe Kindergarten Wars too)
@artschooldrop Everything else aside I think it’s nice knowing that the Ghibli theme park stuff let Goro use his actual experience as a landscape designer. Something had to work out for that guy lol.
