Agof the pope of narratology

My dad liked the first film, and was always saying that the sequel sucked. When i was little i just accepted that as his opinion. But after i played Fallout and was indoctrinated into the followers of post-apocalypse i doubtful. How a post-apocalypse film which was so influential can suck? When i finally got around to watching it, i was going into it after playing and watching many…

The Panther gets itself a panther-sutra book at a hippie store and goes home to enjoy a wank. It’s a slap-stick with a focus on abstract humour, but The Pink Panther cartoons were always pretty abstract. So it’s not that different. And the Panther’s nose is black.

I have no previous record of this film, but watching it now i instantly remember a lot of it, including the ending where the villain tried to jump in time, sat in that prototype time machine, but got smashed into the concrete block. Which means i just saw it recently. And “recently” narrows it down to the last 20 years, with a big probability of 2006-2009. Yet even when i played BroForce i still…

aMAZE 2 is a maze game. And not a walking simulator maze, but a kids’ newspaper maze. Most of the classic mini-games from magazines and newspapers got ported to the digital realm. Jigsaws are outright thriving, overshadowing even nonograms, and sell like cakes. Besides the simple lazy ones, there are even some innovative ones, with cool shaped pegs, animated ones, ones with additional mechanics.…

Randy “The Squirting Wizard” Pitchford advertised this band by featuring their absolute muz’ika Starburster so i gave that album a spin to discover it’s just poorly done suicidal off-key wailing. This time i went for the debut release.

The Pink Panther reached the point where it is are tackling the ancient storyline of unwanted overbearing gratitude. And wife bad. A random dude helps Panther to pull out a thorn from its foot, and now the panther tries to help the dude with everything. Then when the dude comes home, it flips into a wife bad joke. But, like, with the classic wife bad jokes structure, where she actually is not…

This ComiColor animated short is based on the legend of Dick Whittington and His Cat. I never heard of it, and it’s so old i doubt many other people did. The film opens with the anglo-saxon obsession of drowning cats. But a kid saves it by sending it abroad instead. There the cat helps some king with the rodent infestation, one way or another, and being rewarded repays the kid. The core of the…

It’s a low budget cop vs robbers action film. It’s funny how many movies about pigs portray them not being able to charge known gang bosses with no evidence, and evil lawyers and court system making their work moot. Meanwhile in real life acabs just throw innocent people who are unable to defends themselves in jail for absolutely no reason and even after the false accusations are exposed they…

A frenchman wrote a very european and french fairy tale probably vaguely inspired by a tale made up by a probably existing christian local. And then that tale was adapted to soviet sensibilities where women, at least on paper, dared to have any rights. Tankie union was an extreme anti-liberal anti-woke empire, so several of the leading roles are played in “blackface”. As tankie union didn’t have…

It’s a great short musical comedy film with stop-motion special effects. And it’s also closer to Švankmajer’s work, where frames are removed from a normal film to create an illusion of stop-motion in post. The song is pretty great too.

ArmA: Cold War Assault Remastered doesn’t really add anything to the game… What is ArmA: Cold War Assault you ask? Well it is a game which doesn’t actually exist. Because it’s just a legally distinct rename of Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis combined with Operation Flashpoint: Resistance. Even with nothing much changed about, this remaster was absolutely necessary. Usually you would want to…

The panther is impressed with kites, so it wants to make one. Then it runs around causing increasing levels of chaos. Yeah, this is a pretty funny one. A good short. I had a kite kit once, it never worked, so to this day i have no idea what it is supposed to be, and what are the rules of the game.

It’s a crime drama talkie about an event. As in it doesn’t have an overarching story. This is a story about unions. Also known as gangster-created protection rackets. A gangster steals from “china town”. But once he gets into hospital after an assault, his underling steal more from “china town”. After years of allowing all that, cops decided to jail everyone, the end. Sidney Toler plays Dr.…

It is a Gogol-Shostakovich themed multi-art multi-meta multi-media semi-historical semi-opera art-house formalist nonsense from the creator of Steamlyannaya Hamonika, oh i mean Steklyannaya garmonika. In the live-action part they watch black and white film without pillarboxing on wide screens. One of the extra is F’odorov from Aukts’ion with his wife. And here’s a moviergeobbels for you, another…

слушай экзорцист is one of the last remaining active musicians of the googlecore wave, and last year he finally dropped another album. расклады таро для рэперов время пришло мигалки велком ту В.О. делай дела в этих лесах мягкий грув он шёл ветром пагна под деревом уборщица вайс This is a less esoteric and memorable release. The lyrics often more or most serious. There’s even an eulogy for a…

I think this short story takes place somewhen during Halo 6. But it’s hard to pinpoint the precise moment. And the fan wikis will not help. They are more obsessed with the fake hundred-times-retconned lore, than to be of any use to real people. No, after playing most of Halo games, and reading, and watching a lot of low-quality Halo fluff, i still did not memorize the fake dates. More than that,…
