I mentioned In Bruges last week in the Q&A, so I better recommend it here! in Bruges is a terrifically funny film that never the less, has a darkness to it that many films wouldn't dare cross.

There's lots of depression surrounding the gaming industry. Derivative designs. Exploitive business practices. Exploitative work practices. Middling sequels. Etc.
So let's dive into something that's kind of cool.

What are some of your favorite movies?
Guy Richie's my George Lucas, and Snatch is my Star Wars. So I'll watch almost anything he does (I've not seen Swept Away).

I love Civilization! I hold so many fond memories of multiplayer matches with friends and personal campaigns. However.. it's been a long time since I've played Civ, purely because of the time commitment. I've heard so many matches of Civ be started by friends and left unfinished, it's become some...

While I might've recommended this film in my Metro Exodus video, Ukraine's sadly fallen under far worse circumstance since then. Obviously, you can't watch a documentary about history that's being made right now, but you can watch vital events that've ultimately led to this.

I was originally planning to recommend Squid Game, which I still will at some point, as I think it's a program worth watching, irrespective of the hype attached to it.

So, this isn't always true, but typically, if I'm still thinking about scenes in a movie 5+ years after watching, it must've done something right. That's Lord of War for me. While I've not watched Andrew Niccole's most famous films like The Truman Show or Gattaca, Lord of War is fantastic.
