Gate of Hell Foresaw The Incel
Today we’re talking about Gate of Hell, a 1953 jidaegeki (period drama) film. Set in 12th Century Japan, the movie focuses on a samurai Endō Morito, and his obsession with a lady-in-waiting Kesa. It’s not a classic love story. It’s actually a painful and scary love story, mainly because it’s so realistic.
Rap Snacks Review: Nicki Minaj Nocho Nachos
Like many things in life. the Nicki Minaj Nocho Nacho is an allegory for the profound disappointment that will eventually overtake us all.
The New York Times “Book of Movies” Is A Cinephile’s Dream
What makes this book great, is I would recommend this book to almost everyone. If you don’t like movies, this will keep you on a path of good ones. If you love movies, there will be absolutely be some cool ones you haven’t seen in here. If you’re just a normal person who enjoys a flick every once in a while, this is a great reference book.
Returning To Elden Ring: Rivers of Blood Edition
After a few months off, I finally made my glorious return to the Lands Between, eager to make some new builds for the upcoming DLC which…remains upcoming.
Cruising: A Review Pt. 1
A cruise ship is a very strange place. There’s unlimited food, unlimited drinks and pretty much everything to do. The ship I was on had a waterslide, hot tubs, swimming pools, a basketball court, like 15 bars…I mean it was basically a floating city block.
Dear Clowns: Here’s To 2023 (And What to Expect in 2024)
Dear Clowns, when we meet again, it will be 2024. The last few months writing for Ego Clown have been truly strange and adventurous. But there is more fun to be had.
New York 9s: Subnautica
The darkness beneath me seems to go on forever. The sonar pings and outlines the world in red. Technically, I can’t see anything. But I know where everything is. And I know at the top of the mountain is a Reaper Leviathan. The rules are simple: stay away.
Rap Snacks Review: Master P Bar-B-Quinn with my Honey
Master P’s “Bar-B-Quinn with my Honey” chips are the greatest BBQ chips of all time. There’s nothing close.
Rap Snacks Review: Snoop Dogg O.G. Barbecue Cheddar Chips
The top of the bag reads "Stay Focused and Be Relentless.” And this is a relentless chip. It will battle your tastebuds all day. But I think it is an excellent chip.
Christmas Classics: Exmas
With Hallmark movies you know what you’re gonna get. Some bad acting, puzzling writing at times and some very predictable arcs. Exmas, for the most part has none of those things.
Brew Review: Montucky Cold Snacks Are Just Ok But At Least They Look Cool
Montucky Cold Snacks is a really cool looking and sounding beer. It is. But it’s not that great.
Subnautica Below Zero Review: A Fragile Peace
The East Artic is sparse and empty. Glow whales sing and dive gently about 50 meters below the surface. All types of alien fish swim around my sub as it plows through the frigid waters of Sector Zero.
Hawkeye: Really Fun, Really Weird
I love dark, ugly superhero movies but it’s hard not to appreciate some good pastiche. What makes Hawkeye a joy to watch is that it is fully aware that its tone is all over the place, it’s plots are sporadic and occasionally unserious and its characters are extremely zany. It just doesn’t care.
B.J. Novak’s “Vengeance” Is A Mystery That Leaves More Questions Than Answers…In A Good Way
A dead girl, a fake relationship and a New York Jew in West Texas.
Rap Snacks Review: Master P’s Creamy Chicken Gumbo is Uncanny Valley Food
When I initially opened my cup of Rap Snacks Icon Ramen Noodles, Creamy Chicken Gumbo (flavored), I noticed little discernible difference from your average Maruchan Instant Lunch. I filled the cup up (use hot water) to the line that read '“There’s No Limit To Success" and let Master P cook.
In 2023, Retro Bowl is America’s Greatest Mobile Game
Retro Bowl is the best mobile football game since football was invented. It’s not perfect but it’s very fun and deliberately addicting for football fans like me.
I Don’t Like Mech Games but I Loved Armored Core 6
As someone who never liked mech games, I was very tentative heading into Armored Core. I loved the other From Soft games but what I loved about those games (the detailed open-ish worlds and the dark fantasy setting) was definitely not going to be present in this one. The game dropped and I downloaded it and sortied into my first mission, not knowing what to expect.
What Did I Just Watch?: Italian Film “Something New”
Young men of 19 dream about women, but often in the abstract, a singular of plurals. Rarely does a love triangle, or God blessings be, two at the same time, occur. But Luca, in Something New has it all figured out.
