Hi. I'm AshenArcanist. I am devout disciple of the screen's flickering gospel. Cinephile of the highest (and most unapologetically opinionated) order. Tend, on occasion, to mistake verbosity for profundity. Absolutely convinced that enjoyment begins only where the mainstream ends though not above a covert Jurassic Park rewatch. Refined my palette on the likes of Kubrick, Hitchcock, and Scorsese. Have a deep reverence for the golden age and a contempt for the algorithm-driven drivel of the present. Watch not to escape reality, but to dissect it one frame at a time.
