- i've been going through the filmography of dominique abel and fiona gordon.[1] in their first film, iceberg, the manager of a fast food restaurant accidentally locks herself into a walk-in fridge. after escaping, half frozen and barely alive, she develops an obsession for the cold.
- thanks to a particular dance scene[2] in another of the above directors' films, i've been listening to la revancha del tango.
- greaser is an atmospheric interactive fiction piece about a girl, her motorbike, and some grease.
- it's always fun to revisit a film you think you remember, then realize while watching that you've completely forgotten the second half. this happened recently with the talented mr. ripley.
- just a few days after i finished disco elysium for the first time, the creatives behind the game announced the dissolution of their cultural association,[3] and an ongoing, hard-to-follow dispute has followed. this, along with the recent high of completing the game, has led me to my current state of: I'm Still Thinking About Disco Elysium Two Months Later. thankfully, i'm not alone: the 2021 article a year later, i still can't stop thinking about disco elysium is a promise that i, too, will still be thinking about this game well into the new year.
