  House of Games 1987

  Rewatched 03 Dec 2023

  Lindsey Crouse's fascinating and basically non-existent performance keeps me coming back to this. She is the blueprint for so many of these purposefully disaffected stilted performance that have become commonplace this century.

  Twilight Q 1987

  Watched 25 Nov 2023

  Both halves were vibing in different ways.

  The first half was basically a mini version of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time crossed with Ocean Waves, kind of a relaxing nostalgic feeling (I mean, as relaxing as it can be with all the references to the climate collapsing).

  The second half was minimal and clearly blew its entire animation budget on the first and last 30 seconds (which were awesome). The rest was noir-ish narration over some bizarre multi-media imagery. Much more subdued and abstract, but that shouldn't surprise you if you know Oshii.
