There are some great films playing this weekend, but almost all of them seem to be at film festivals. The latest iteration of Murder on the Orient Express looks like the best option to me, but while the book was a masterpiece and the cast is world class, it really isn’t science fiction or even fantasy. I think I will probably spend the weekend binging on season two of Dirk Gently and other equally silly things like the latest Red Dwarf Season 12 episode.
The band Gesu no Kiwami Otome, or Guess’ Extreme Maiden in English, is an Indi/Alternative band from Tokyo who got together in 2012. The first song is I will not lose to you, and since it was posted online on October 9th it has received over a million views. The second track is Darumasan, with Daruma’s rolling around all over the playing area. That one is more of a song fragment it is so short, there is a longer version available but I really like the visuals so I went with the fragment.
Polkadotstingray uploaded the song REM (extended name Lem meets Yogurina & Suntory natural water) this past Monday, and by Tuesday it had crossed the quarter million views range. This art rock band continues to create some amazing music.
The obvious genre release this week is Geostorm, with weather used as a weapon of mass destruction, controlled from a huge orbital facility like the IIS on steroids. But the trailer reminds me all too much of the disaster films of the 1960s through the 1980s, which I tend to consider formulaic and boring. The live action Tokyo Ghoul hit theaters today and will run until Sunday the 22nd, that one I am really looking forward to. Wonderstruck looks very interesting, but is only in New York and LA this week; it will be out everywhere on the 10th. If you feel like streaming your entertainment this weekend, Red Dwarf Season 12 is currently playing, and BritBox just got it.
This is one of the most amazing musical mixes I have found this month, so good I had to repost it here. Samurai☯ Trap & Bass Japanese Type Beat ☯ Lofi HipHop Mix is one of a series of Dub Step related remix treats that I have to appreciate for their style and creativity. Enjoy!
This is ONE OK ROCK doing their hit Taking Off, the Tomoya Drum Version from the album Ambitions, recorded during the JAPAN TOUR 2017. Always good music from this group.
