I study cinema in university, so it's safe to say I'm a movie nerd. My current hyperfixation is more of the video game variety though (namely, Resident Evil 7, 8, and the DLC Shadows of Rose) lmao

RockaBillie's bio
Hey there, welcome !! My name's Billie and I'm a French guy who's trying to become an artist (emphasis on trying). Always looking for someone to chat with ! :3
Heyyy I'm late as hell and haven't posted in a while but how do we feel about the Resident Evil movie ? :3
Spoilers ahead!
Personally I absolutely loved it, and that's coming from a guy who usually hides in the face of gore (weird considering my love of the games, I know, but oh well). Bryan is an amazing and relatable little guy!
However, it felt more like a blend of Silent Hill/The Thing to me? Like the monsters were really a specific experience related to Bryan's fears (parenthood + blending in a faceless crowd) and they felt,,, well. Thing-y X')
But I loved the telltale dry humor and the (very scarce) Resident Evil references :D I'm glad it's nothing like the old movies omg
Been having a debate with an acquaintance of mine, and I wanted to know if other people have been thinking of this too!
He believes the sentence "art should disturb the comforted and comfort the disturbed" is an absolute truth.
As a person who's (I think) mostly in the "comforted" side of things, I'm so glad art can bring comfort to the ones that need it the most, but isn't it also really reductive to say art "must" be anything? Am I being hypocritical for saying art is but an expression of an emotion or an idea, and reducing it to two categories goes against its universal purpose? Also, does that saying mean that "comforted" people shouldn't find comfort in art?
No judgment here!! I'm just confused and asking a genuine question and would love you guys' insight :')
Just watched a friend play Assassin's Creed Black Flag (resynced) and I was wondering...
Do you guys enjoy remade games (like Resident Evil) or would you rather we stop remakes to focus only on new games? Do you feel nostalgia about old games compared to their remakes?
