It’s still a fun movie, but it’s basically the same thing as the first one but with worse pacing and felt a bit too forced.

Pretty fun watch all around. I would have loved this movie as a child, but somehow never got to watch it.

One of the many incredible places surrounding Lake Como, in northern Italy.

Picturesque medieval-like italian village on the shore of a huge blue lake. The houses are very colorful and there's a lot of pine trees on the slope. A small boat floats on the lake, and in the background sit the snow-capped Alps.

Always wanted to take a long exposure shot like this, with the water all smooth and fluffy. Taken just downstream of the Grotte delle Busserailles near Cervinia, in Italy.

Can’t believe I’d never watched the extended editions before. This movie is just timeless, a perfect introduction to a wonderful world, amazing pacing, acting, environments and practical effects.

It’s almost 4 hours long but I wanted to start the next one immediately after it finished.

Amazing game, probably the best souslike that’s not made by From Software.

Lies of P is a dark retelling of Pinocchio, and the Belle Epoque with Puppets setting really grows on you. At some point it goes bonkers with that and it’s awesome. The Bloodborne inspiration is obvious and very welcome.

The final third of the game suffers from a steep difficulty wall, but doesn’t ruin it. There’s a difficulty setting that can help if a boss gets too difficult.

The snow made the Resegone Mountain even more picturesque than usual.

Snowcapped mountains slightly obscured by clouds, with a gray sky. Some houses appear on the foot of the mountains.
