Ghost in the Shell (2017) surprised me. It isn’t perfect, but it ended up being way better than I thought it would be. A lot of “hard-core” GitS fans were disappointed apparently, but, considering the quality of other film adaptations of anime, they were being unduly harsh.

“The ancient Jews always blamed themselves when things fell apart. They acted as if God’s goodness – the goodness of reality – was axiomatic, and took responsibility for their own failure.

A discussion on maturity with one of my reviewers. The initial question on maturity was: Q: On Byleistr, is he older than Loki? If so, he acts less mature, and I’m wondering if the way Jotuns normally mature is different from Asgard? or was it because Loki had to deal with so much that he […]
