Let's take 10 minutes for coffee and ideas
Introduction: The Relief of Quitting I’ve just watched the credits roll on Outlast. My heart rate is slowly returning to a standard resting rhythm, and my palms have finally stopped sweating against the controller. I made it. I survived the corridors of Mount Massive Asylum, I dodged lunatics wielding cleavers, and I spent an embarrassing… Continue reading Why I Quit Outlast: Escaping the Locker to Survive Raccoon City
You’ve heard the buzz. It’s impossible to ignore. Paul Thomas Anderson’s new epic, One Battle After Another, has landed with the force of a cultural comet. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, and a revelatory Teyana Taylor, the film has been hailed as a masterpiece. Critics are throwing around 10/10 scores. It’s been declared an early… Continue reading The Exhaustion Is the Point: Why I Appreciated, But Didn’t Enjoy, “One Battle After Another”
Some films entertain. Others educate. A rare few, like Steve McQueen’s 12 Years a Slave, perform something akin to a cultural exorcism, forcing us to confront a historical trauma so profound it remains etched in the soul of society. The film’s unflinching portrayal of physical violence is a necessary and harrowing education in the horrors… Continue reading The Architecture of Hell: Deconstructing the Psychological Brutality of ’12 Years a Slave’
A Deep Dive into Crafting House Rules for a More Narrative Saga To answer the call of the Kai is to arm oneself with the simplest of tools: a pencil, a pair of dice, and the Adventure Sheet that holds the very soul of our hero. We hunch over the pages, our world shrinking to… Continue reading Beyond the Book: Forging Your Own Path in the World of Lone Wolf
We live in a paradoxical age. We have instant access to infinite information, tools to connect with anyone in the world, and opportunities our ancestors could never have dreamed of. Yet, a creeping sense of anxiety, overload, and powerlessness seems to be the soundtrack to our lives. We feel at the mercy of external events,… Continue reading Stronger Than Anxiety: How to Use a 2000-Year-Old Philosophical Dagger for the Modern Mind
There are films you watch, and there are films you inhabit. Stanley Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon unequivocally belongs to the latter category. Watching it for the first time is an almost otherworldly experience: you step into an art gallery where 18th-century paintings suddenly come to life. Every frame is a canvas, every movement a choreography, every… Continue reading Living Inside a Painting: The Cold, Tragic Beauty of Barry Lyndon
There are films that entertain, and then there are works that, almost without asking permission, install themselves in our consciousness, becoming part of our emotional landscape. These are films that do not merely tell a story, but aspire to define the spirit of an entire generation, to mirror a nation, to weave a tapestry so… Continue reading The Best of Youth: Living History Firsthand, Without Exclamation Points
Uscito da qualche tempo non esattamente apprezzato, tanto da essere stata cancellata la seconda stagione, ma prima di un mio personale commento vediamo cosa ho scoperto in rete. Netflix ci credeva tantissimo In produzione un uscita di quattro numeri del fumetto basata sulla serie, già in prevendita prima della serie e ancora acquistabili su Amazon,… Continue reading Cowboy bebop by Netflix
Guardatelo nonostante sia fatto a caso. Premetto di non aver letto i libri, quindi il mio è un giudizio limitato alla serie in quanto tale. Come la prima stagione la narrazione risulta molto confusa e molto "spinta" dal volere degli sceneggiatori, non sempre le scelte dei personaggi sono comprensibili ed è complicato farsi un quadro… Continue reading The Witcher – Stagione 2
A dicembre è stato pubblicato su Amazon "Il segreto di Silver city", un romanzo breve (non scritto da me), tratto da una sessione di ruolo autoconclusiva da me masterizzata. Che potete trovare qui. Il romanzo è una storia di avventura in un ambientazione fantascientifica post-apocalittica, per descriverla autociterò la mia stessa recensione da cliente Amazon… Continue reading “Il segreto di Silver city” – Il libro
