Jason watches RISK

Laura Poitras, director of CITIZENFOUR, now takes a candid look at Julian Assange and his organization, Wikileaks. Oh, and also Jacob Appelbaum, one of the creators or the Tor project...and for a time during the film, Laura's lover. That's mentioned, but the implications of this connection aren't really explored. The film is very well made, and takes a long-ish view, filming for over 6 years (I love long form documentaries.) Your reaction probably depends heavily on your opinions of Assange and Wikileaks, and I have friends who would definitely take exception to how critical it is of him and other friends who would take exception to the hero-worship parts of it. Which is probably why I came away with the reaction of "that's interesting, but I don't know whether to think better or worse of him afterward." But it was super weird when Lady Gaga came to visit him while he was hiding in the Ecuadorean embassy.

Yu-Gi-Oh VRAINS Episode 29 & 30

Man, Ghost Girl is in deep deep trouble. I was pretty much screaming at my screen, “GET OUT OF THERE!!!” There is no way she is getting out of there “alive! If she does fall here, the fault lies in her greed and desire to play with fire. In fact it would be rather an ironic, yet fitting way for her to fall. The woman is a cocky trickster, and it was only a matter of time before she would get burned. But I will give mad props just seeing for once, a character actually recognizing the situation is too dangerous, and their best option would be to retreat. Unfortunately for Ghost Girl, Revolver knows how to make his place secured, trapping her inside where her only option left is to defeat him. Revolver ain’t gonna fall for your cutesy tricks Yet at the same time, Ghost Girl also very well ma...

'Manos Returns' Teaser #2

The good news is a new teaser for Manos Returns has been released and it looks and sounds creepy, thanks to a spooky rendition of Row Row Row Your Boat . The bad news is it doesn't look like the sequel will be ready in time for the 50th anniversary of Manos: The Hands of Fate , as originally planned. I think the new plan is for Manos Returns to premiere sometime in 2017. Don't worry though. To paraphrase Torgo, "It will be done soon."
