Grand Media Log: Day 19

Starting today unless they are someone I expect to be referring to multiple times I am not going to add their name as a tag thing, it was really tiring and I’m surprised I kept it up for so long. There are ~180 files and like 130 of them are just for the tag pages with a single result lol. Not going to remove the previous ones though.


Incredible Kung Fu Mission

Written and Directed by Chiang Hsin-Yi

Film

A bonus film on my Blu-Ray of “Thrilling Bloody Sword” that with a few caveats is a great cheesey martial arts time. Those exceptions are the limited foley options, particularly noticable when the dual wielding swordsmen arrive, a “we need you to cross dress as a disguise” type of bit that I loathe whenever it appears and it went on for too long, and some fights over staying their welcome. Outside that, the action is kinetic enough and keeps the film moving at a brisk pace throughout. There are some surprisingly good jokes, but I don’t know if they are due to the kinda trashily-enjoyable dub. One of the dub people sounds like the guy from Monty Python and the Holy Grail who questions Arthur’s right to rule which is fun.


The Legend of Grimrock II

Almost Human Ltd.

Video Game

I really liked this. I don’t know what to say but the combat and puzzles were both great, though maybe leaned more towards puzzles than I would’ve prefered. Non-descript plotting like the first nonetheless provides a bit of flavor to the playtime with the island keeper. Hated that gnome bastard though >:(


Kept reading East of West and it’s still great. Wowie this was so much easier without having to do all the tag shit.
