Merzbow

I heard it's on Stormfront these days.

If it's not AI, there's some major airbrushing into uncanny valley territory there either way.

Call me when they sign Shera for fifteen million, then we can talk contracts.

Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragon Ball has passed away at 68.

This one hurts, I've spent literal days upon days watching his shows since I was a teenager first catching DBZ on Cartoon Network.

It probably set Chinese - American relations back by twenty years but yeah that still gets a chuckle from me.

Mustard man is still my fav related song, Brandon freestyles all the Gnarkill stuff too. I need a copy of the album!

I bought a bag of these and they're so good, it says fruit but they're far more savory although you can tell they're also full of sugar. Got quite the kick with all the spices in them.

Wish it never looked so good, it’s gonna be extra disappointing when it disappears up its own arse. 

Yeah, it's the Westworld lad isn't it? I'm sure Amazon want this to be a mainstream hit though.

Hello-oooo, they knew what they were doing showing off Kyle there.

I'm waiting for a second hand copy but it's sitting at a solid 82% on Metacritic so far, it still looks to be on the bones of a PS2 engine but it looks like they've added enough glitter to cover it and make it fun.

I know he acts like he hates being called one but he's been a promotor since getting that little roster of podcasts, it was just a different kind of wrestling product.

Surley it will Conrad promoted just like the last match of Ric Flair. He does the podcast with him it just seems like the kind of thing SuperMark Conrad would do. 

Yeah and he's got enough mates all over the place that it'd be one big crossover deal again, wrestlers and production from AEW and everywhere else.

So Jungle Boy Jack Perry is now in House of Torture and is saying that he asked for his release from AEW but it was turned down, I'm pretty sure that's just in character but yeah he's back wrestling again.

I'm currently on volume 26 of Berserk and it's one of the best so far, it never really dipped but this one really kicks things off again with some of Miura's best art yet and great character development for a couple of my faves. You can also tell he really enjoyed drawing a certain member of the God Hand...

Spoilers but also nsfw.

His greatest hits & misses DVD also had a match with "Jack" and Les Thornton vs The British Bulldogs and there's this which was recorded the night after.

This came out of nowhere, some of the best and jankiest Eurojank ever made, I'd expect a million bugs but they're worth playing.

Edit: Playstation, too. They messed up the PS4 price and had the trilogy up at £15.99.

Yeah, it's magnificent. Now I know how LOTR fans felt about The Two Towers.

I think I'm going to have to watch it again before it leaves the cinema, might even pay a little extra and go with an IMAX screening.

I'll have to give that a listen, I'm currently all over the new Toadliquor album which seemingly came out of nowhere after decades without a 2nd album. It's killer old school sludge, heavy as all hell in that Eyehategod style but more so. There's also some electronics and other weird bits in there every now and then..

The Faculty

I think that may have genuinely been my fav film ever for a few weeks when I was a teenager, until I saw Go.

Affliction (1997): Back to the topic of depressing, dark and bleak cinema, this might now be my fav Schrader film after Mishima. Nick Nolte was perfectly cast in it, playing the long winding dive of his mental state without making a mockery of it and James Coburn is a magnificantly horrible piece of shit.

Lisa Frankenstein: It's not great and feels really disjointed with a fair few odd production choices making it seem a little sterile or even dull at times but I can't say there's zero charm there, I can see this getting a bit of a cult following especially among goth girls.. Still better than any recent Tim Burton shit, which it kinda wants to be.

The new look of The Crow is being mocked by the younger generation more than anyone, it's pure "how do you do, fellow kids" with a style that cloud rappers were doing a decade ago.

Onita is still going, if Mick has to have a last match I'd like to see him involved in it. Go full (explosion) smoke & mirrors so I'm not having to watch a broken man take many bumps.

A tiny thing but when will they ever decide to update that AR model of Roman during the entrance? It still looks like shit.
