He combines thoughtful chords and composition, innovative and quirky showmanship, and deep personal care in mixing, mastering, and general sound crafting. He’s about as original as they come in the electronic scene and probably a major inspiration to the last decade of new artists. His album titles are things like “while(1<2)” and “W:/2016Album/“ and he’s stuck to that theme for as long as I can remember.
Blade Runner: 2049. Considering how highly regarded the original 1984 movie is it didn't seem possible for the sequel to nail it. Not only that but it managed to improve Blade Runner's (original) films story along the way.
I agree with you, Blade Runner 2049 explored more in depth the philosophical the older movie brought up. I was very hyped for the movie, and was really satisfied with the result. Same director is doing Dune, are you looking forward to that as well?
Arrival is another well done flick by him.

The Wire. I'd tried to watch it a few times, but only a few months ago actually got past the first two episodes. I think it helped that I quite quickly saw it as a morally ambiguous discussion of the institutional ineptitude of conservative western cultures in mitigating the effects of crime, rather than a typical 'good vs bad' cop show. With that mindset, the possibly-underwhelming finale of S1 is much more effectiv…
I suspect a lot of it flies under the radar because The Wire purposefully used a style that wasn't overly pretty, was closer to verite than visually stunning. But there's some great ideas there. The utter commitment to diagetic sound (barring one scene in the first season). The use of complex camera movements and an Altman-esque zoom to provide a documentary or even voyeuristic perspective.
You could make an argument that The Wire is more innovative in filmmaking than a lot of the typical prestige TV, who simply mimicked Hollywood big budget artistry.

How does it compare to Satisfactory and Shapez.io (which is sold as a minimalistic factorio). I bought shapezio on steam some time and realized just yesterday i already collected 60h playtime on it... Now I'm thinking about digging sonewhere deeper.
Factorio is the direct inspiration for both those games.
It doesn't matter anyway. A good copy can be better than the original.
I saw contrarian opinions, but I believe Avengers: End Game pretty much delivered the insane hype cultivated for 10 years.
Not for me. Too much quantum time travel hand-waving just magically solving problems.
- A lot of people watch it with no background knowledge and subsequently don’t quite understand the “best film ever” label, but Citizen Kane is indeed a fantastic film. Just read about Orson Welles first. - Most religious books that have stood the test of time have lived up to the hype. The Bible (especially certain books like Ecclesiastes or Proverbs), The Quran, The Upanishads, to name a few. Again, don’t just go i…
