For this edition of Saturday Anime Night, the people demanded more Sailor Moon, and so, we’re continuing on, with episodes 181 through 186 of the 1992 series, the definitive magical-girl anime. This is the completely unabridged, unexpurgated, uncensored, Japanese version of the show, including everything that the English dub butchered, altered, and/or cut, which is quite a bit. Tonight’s episodes see the continuation of the Sailor Stars arc, which features a brand-new theme song and a slew of new sailors.

After that is A Scanner Darkly (2006), a rotoscoped sci-fi thriller from Richard Linklater, based on the Philip K. Dick story of the same name and made in similar style to Linklater’s earlier Waking Life (2001), which we previously watched. A future cop, played by Keanu Reeves, takes a new drug that causes him to lose his grip on reality. A whole bunch of weird and surreal encounters ensue, largely involving one-sided conversations with various eccentric characters. Looks cool; let’s watch.

We’ll start 8PM EST on Hextube right here: https://live.hexbear.net/c/movies

    The pain, so unexpected and undeserved, had for some reason cleared away the cobwebs. I realized I didn’t hate the cabinet door, I hated my life: my house, my family, my backyard, my power mower. Nothing would ever change; nothing new could ever be expected. It had to end, and it did. Now in the dark world where I dwell, ugly things, and surprising things, and sometimes little wondrous things, spill out in me constantly, and I can count on nothing.
