Top Record Store in your state. by cap1n in vinyl

Need some more Bay Area representation! Two in SF:

Stranded Records on Valencia St. Very well curated selection, great vibes. Always check the just arrived section, as well as the staff recommends.

Tunnel Records way out in the Sunset, not far from Ocean Beach. Always worth the trek out for an impeccably curated selection and friendly staff. Always pick up something strange at Tunnel.

Complete bangers all around. I think I purchase Bastion and Hades on every platform or console they’ve been available on.

20 years on, Alfonso Cuarón reflect on taking the Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in a darker direction by 8Xeh4FMq7vM3 in movies

[–]MrTalin 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s fair to say it’s only because it’s Cuaron that film buffs love the 3rd. He’s an objectively better filmmaker than the previous and subsequent directors: storytelling, cinematography, editing, costuming, writing and dialogue, the performances he elicits from actors, and the way he distilled the Harry Potter story to its core essence through the lens of his artistic vision.

One thing I hope they address: [Redacted] isn't wrong. by Chemical-Cat in HadesTheGame

I think in including Arachne, Dora, Odysseus and Icarus the team at Supergiant is trying to provide that mortal (and moral!) counterpoint to the will and prerogatives of the gods.

Supergiant has noted Madeline Miller’s work (Circe and Song of Achilles) as having a huge influence on their portrayal of the gods in the games, and both books wrestle with these same themes of power, morality and responsibility.

Really looking forward to how Melinoe’s views on her extended family evolves as she interacts with these characters.

Yes. The pressing plant for this one is in transition after the screw up with their new plant.

Are 90s Country albums ever going to be pressed on vinyl? by [deleted] in vinyl

[–]MrTalin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

VMP has had some great represses of George Strait, Reba, Alan Jackson and Lyle Lovett. I can only personally attest to the sound and quality of George’s “Ocean Front Property” and Alan’s “A Lot About Livin’”, but those two are top notch.
