I just finished bingeing Dad of Light, a Netflix original series. It's a short (8 episodes, each less than 30 minutes long) Japanese series about a young man working in an office and living at home with his parents. He is flummoxed when his workaholic dad suddenly quits his job, but is unable to ask him why since they haven't had a close, or even a speaking relationship with each other in quite some time. This young man plays Final Fantasy XIV every night after work, so he gets the idea to introduce his dad to the game. He buys his dad a PS3 (or was it PS4, I can't recall) console and hooks him up into the game. Then he runs upstairs and secretly logs into the game and meets his dad's character in game, only Dad doesn't know Akio plays the game too.
It's light, it's enjoyable, and fun because so much of the show takes place inside the game. The sense of camaraderie shared by online players remind me so much of ESO that I had fun watching it. When Akio finally discovers the real reason his dad quit, I wasn't too surprised, as I've seen that trope before - it seems quite prevalent in Korean and Chinese dramas as well. But I thought it was well handled.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

My latest spooky film was Flatliners, which I have not seen in ages. It was good, but not great. The premise seems a little wonky. Scientists want to flatline and be revived to learn the Truth About Death. Given that people had certainly technically died and been revived before this, and came back with no world-changing revelations, why would Kiefer Sutherland and Kevin Bacon think they were going to do anything different?
But it is still a fun ride, as the characters face their inner demons, and have to find forgiveness, or give them their own forgiveness. So it has a nice human element, and is not really about spooks and scares, but rather atonement. What I liked about it was that none of it was necessarily supernatural. It could be. Or it could just all be in their heads, and the ghosts be metaphorical ones.

QUOTE(Dark Reaper @ Oct 28 2019, 02:06 PM) I got finished watching a new IP on YouTube called Hazbin Hotel and for an indie adult cartoon its a really great show hope they make more of it.
Just realized Hazbin=Has been...good one.
I'd post a link but the shows uses a lot of "colorful words". Just go to YouTube and search for Hazbin Hotel, I think you'll guys will like it, specially if you like the old Beetlejuice cartoons.
It looks interesting!

Watched Curse of the Blair Witch today, along with a special on Amazon called Creating Modern Ghost Stories: The Blair Witch Project. Curse was a faux documentary created from footage that was originally going to be in the film. But the creators decided that the found footage stuff of the trio in the woods worked better on its own. So they released Curse on the Sci Fi Channel a week before the movie came out. It is basically a companion piece/publicity for the movie. It is created as a documentary about the Blair Witch, and does give a lot of the background folklore about what is going on in the movie. Back in the day I saw this on tv before I went to see the film, and it really did add a lot to the experience.
Creating Modern Ghost Stories is an interview with 3 of the filmmakers and talking to them about the creation of the film. I must confess to crushing on the woman who was the historical fabricator for the movie (that was a real title) She talked about how she invented the documentation used in the film, and the varying grades of real fakes, fake fakes, and actual legit documents they used to create the mythology of the Blair Witch. That includes creating fake sources to make citations off of, knowing that most people will never follow up on those citations and see that they are fake. It was all about creating an air of verisimilitude to draw the viewers in with the premise that this could be real. I knew it was not when I saw it of course. I was a sketpic even back then. But I really appreciated the effort, so I leaned into it for all the extra fun it created.
She even talks about how for years people would try to contact the Maryland Historical Society asking for a book created by the movie, that the mythology claims they have. The Historical Society of course tells these people it isn't real. So the people insist that they are covering it up and refusing to let people read it.
I am not sure if I want to watch the actual Blair Witch Project now or not. I have been planning on doing a Castlevania marathon to end Spooky October, and I have already watched the first episode of that. I might just finish that first and save the Witch for the weekend.

I love the Netflix Castlevania series. Hope they release season 3 soon!
