Blade Runner (Ridley Scott, 1982) X "The Big Clapper" (Two Lone Swordsmen, 1998)

My favorite cut of the cyberpunk classique mixed with this jittery yet groovy cut from Two Lone Swordsmen's incredible & underrated album, Stay Down. While Philip K. Dick's book has so many cool elements the film lacks such as kipple, Mercerism, and the whole electric sheep thing, Ridley Scott's version works too and has some of the greatest practical cinema aesthetics of all time.

There's a bunch of things I love about this video.

It highlights just how HUGE the architecture in Elden Ring (and From Software games in general) really are.

The camera angles on several shots here gives off the impression of an obscure late 90s-early 00s isometric RPG.

Alternatively, the choppiness to the animation gives it a stop motion vibe, like we're watching little animated figures moving around scale models.

OMG guys check it out, this is so cute!!

People really do assume the FromSoft formula is just "super hard boss fights" but really it's Tall Ladies, Hidetaka Miyazaki's barely contained masochistic death fetish, incredibly hard but usually fair boss fights, community graffiti, annoying rat, even more annoying dog, walk walk fashion baby, poison swamp, bottomless pit, Large Jovial Dad Figure, jolly cooperation, Berserk Reference, and slapstick comedy.

Pixy Junket by PURE

One of those oddities of the early 90s manga boom, originally released in six issues and later collected in trade paperback form. The mangaka known as PURE is allegedly a former assistant of Masamune Shirow, which makes sense as there's definitely some early (pre GITS) Shirow vibes in this one. There's not much information on PURE and they seem to have faded into obscurity after releasing a few short manga in the early-to-mid 90s, Pixy Junket being the only one to get an English release.

Twatter cropping really did a number on Birdy's magnificent peri mural style fanart. Surely tumblr will do it justice. https://twitter.com/90sGraphics/status/1764210760194883601
