I am loving the absurdity of Manhunter's Brian Cox explaining who's throwing who into volcano.

But I guess dysfunctional family theme suits Logan Roy.

Also I'd be furious if Tekken 8 doesn't have anyone being thrown into a volcano

In the season finale of Succession, Logan Roy threw all his children (and cousin Greg) into a volcano.

I normally use yt-dlp to download youtube videos, but sometimes I'd go and visit homepage to see if there's anything interesting.

Then I kept seeing this guy showing up. I don't think he placed all the ads, because one of the entities that placed the ad seem to be based on India. Anyway, there are many variations to this ad (mostly in term of the money they earned), but the video content is always the same.

I reported the ads many times, Google can't decide whether it's a con, because they told me they can't find anything wrong with one of them, and then told me they have actioned on the other one.

Anyway, just out of morbid curiosity, anyone knows who that guy is?

MEV is another crypto thing btw.

It's a tweet from user PC_Focus_ that states:

First of all, Meowwy Quismois and Happy Meow Year 2020 everyone.

Here are some movies that I watched:

• Anatomy of a Fall (2023)
  • 2.5 hours is a bit too long. But this is a great movie. I read that there is an American movie, Anatomy of a Murder that seems to have similar setup / feel, aka clinical, doesn't have excessive melodrama. Maybe I should watch that too. Also the prosecutor is an asshole.
• Identity (2003)
  • This is not as bad as I thought. I truly enjoyed this movie, it's a fun mystery thriller. The twist is not amazing, but it's okay
• A Separation (2011)
  • It's a good movie but it feels frustrating at parts. The focus should be on the children being torn apart between adults separating / fighting.
• Top Secret! (1984)
  • I watched this when I was a kid, and I'm still liking it. Probably not as much as other Abraham & Zuck's works. Somehow this version that I watched doesn't have the scene involving Val Kilmer crawling out from a rhino.

The TV shows that I started and dropped halfway:

• Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness S01
  • It's not that it's atrocious, it's just that I like Resident Evil when it's B-movie awkward lines movie. This mini-series is just bit too serious
• DuckTales S01
  • I remember having really good memories of this show. But now it feels like the show is probably geared towards young children.

Shows that I've been watching:

• The Ministry of Time S01
  • Finished the first season. The show started off fun, especially when there are anachronistic scenes (people in the past using contemporary tech gadgets), but halfway thru the season, it veered into soapy telenovela melodrama which I dislike (the reason I dropped La Casa de Papel). But by the end of the season, chef's kiss
  • spoiler

    That character who kept clinging on his dead wife, ended up as the person who caused her death
• Review S02
  • This season is definitely better than the first. I like the overarching story where Forrest's commitment to the show completely destroys his family relationship. Interested to see what's gonna happen in the next season
• The Simpsons S04
  • Still okay
• The X-Files S02
  • I'm halfway thru the season now and I'm loving the Mulder's family's arc
• Fringe S05
  • I can see why this season is not as good as others, largely because of the abrupt change of setting from season 4. So far it's still good.
• Killing It S02
  • I like the first season largely because Claudia O'Doherty's delivery of absurd lines are hilarious. This season seems to focus too much on side characters that aren't too funny.
• Record of Ragnarok S01
  • This is great. Wasn't expecting to be hooked by it. It's basically Celebrity Deathmatch, but between gods from various mythologies and .. historical humans. And every fight is like Super Saiyan over the top battles with power creep and bombastic moves. I'm loving it.

So, what have you all been watching?

It was buggy and not updated for quite sometime after Apple switched to Mac silicon.

Maybe I can finally go back and play Saturn games on my Mac

Merry Christmas everyone.

Here's the TV shows I watched last week:

• Archive 81 S01
  • Finished it, this is a solid horror show. Bummer that it's canceled after 1st season
    spoiler

    I like how it became more eldritch horror involving time travel and alternate universe
• X-Men Evolution S01
  • This just doesn't grab me, the whole season seems to be aimed at high school students. X-Men The Animated Show is better in every way. Heard that S02 fixes some of the writing though
• JoJo's Bizarre Adventure S05
  • I read Stone Ocean years ago, and it's great to see it in motion. The ending hit me hard, was not expecting it.
• The X-Files S02
  • I enjoyed this season more than the first one, especially the ones involving extra-terrestrials.
• 30 Rock S02
  • Finished it. I really enjoyed how absurd some of the humors are.
• The Ministry of Time (El ministerio del tiempo) S01
  • I dislike the melodrama / soapy parts, which I find bit common in Spanish movies / shows. What I really like is the fish out of water part, where people from other era uses contemporary tech items. There's this one scene where the man is in 18th century, and he whipped out a Toshiba-like notebook and a scanner. Somehow reminds me of Beforeigners, which I really like.

Some of the movies I watched:

• The White Storm 2: Drug Lords (2019)
  • This is worse than the first one. Too much melodrama
• Gangs of Wasseypur - Part II (2012)
  • I like part 2 bit more than first part, but they definitely need some trimmings. The 2nd part is bit more brutal than the first one, however I find some characters might be under-developed, e.g. Definite.
• The Creator (2023)
  • The story didn't grab me. The visuals are amazing though.

What have you been watching last week?

A screenshot of a tweet from user ShinraArch (Shinra Archaeology Department) that says "FFVII Rebirth Director Naoki Hamaguchi says that Cait Sith's name is pronounced "Cat Shee." (Game Informer Shows, 12/21/2023)". Attached on the tweet is a 3D model of Cait Sith from FF7 Rebirth on a black background

I am hoping someone, just someone, maybe Cid or Red XIII would call him Cat Shit.

I believe Insomniac were hacked / ransomwared last week or something. Apparently here's the leak of all their upcoming titles.

a horizontal timeline chart showing the possible release year of Insomniac upcoming titles: Spider-Man 2 around end of 2023, Marvel's Venom around end of 2025, Wolverine around end of 2026, Spider-Man 3 around end of 2028, Ratchet and Clank around end of 2029, Marvel's X-Men around end of 2030, and tentative new IP between 2031 to 2032

So, what have you been watching last week?

Edit: I always forgot that I watched some movies too:

I don't have a lot to add to, still watching the same TV shows:

• Fringe is still good
• What We Do in the Shadows is okay, got me some chuckles, but no laugh out loud moments yet
• Amazing Stories (1985) is still boring
• JoJo's Stone Ocean arc is still great
• Love, Death, & Robots' tones are still all over the place

The only other thing that I watched is David Fincher's The Killer. While I don't dislike it, I am just not feeling it, unlike other Fincher's works.

Edit: I forgot that I did watch 2 other movies, Predators (2010) and Bad Boys II, I barely remembered anything happened in Predators, on the other hand, I find Bad Boys II ok, it suffers from Michael Bay's excessive cuts without breathing moment.
