Dark Tourist - Wikipedia. Dark Tourist (also known as The Grief Tourist) is a 2. American psychological thriller film directed by Suri Krishnamma, written by Frank John Hughes, and starring Michael Cudlitz, Melanie Griffith, and Pruitt Taylor Vince. Cudlitz plays a bigoted security guard who engages in dark tourism. It premiered at Filmfest München on July 3, 2.

A temporary Independence Day celebration in Watch Dogs 2 was suspended early on July 4 because it was enraging too many people who still play Ubisoft’s late 2016.

Phase 4 Films released it theatrically on August 2. Jim Tahna, a quiet and solitary man, explains in voice- overnarration his hatred of society and his employers, though he enjoys his work as security guard, as it allows him long periods of solitude. On his vacation time, he engages in dark tourism, the visitation of murder sites. His current subject is Carl Marznap, a mass murderer and arsonist. He leaves Yonkers, New York, to visit Carl's home in California.

His neighbor at the cheap motel in which he stays, Iris, turns out to be a prostitute. Nervous, Jim fumbles in conversation with her, then states in voice- over how much he hates prostitutes. At a local restaurant, he meets Betsy, a friendly waitress.

Jim introduces himself to her as Carl and falsely claims that his sister has been diagnosed with cancer. Betsy and Jim draw closer over their difficult lives, and she invites him to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. On his tour of Marznap's home and crime scenes, Jim becomes increasingly disturbed by hallucinations and vague flashbacks.

Eventually, Jim hallucinates Marznap himself, who urges him to teach the world what it feels like to be a victim. Once tortured and gang- raped in juvenile detention, Marznap explains that he sought revenge by burning down a church, as he blamed those people for doing nothing to help him while his father abused him. After the Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, Jim and Betsy bond further, and Betsy invites him to dinner at her house.

Betsy offers him marijuana, and he reluctantly accepts. When she tries to kiss him, he becomes agitated and demands that they have sex without any affection. When she asks him to slow down, he berates her and leaves.

Marznap encourages him to visit Iris. A trans woman, Iris has anal sex with Jim, and he flashbacks to a childhood gang rape. Jim and Carl discuss their shared experiences, and Jim expresses his belief that he is broken beyond repair.

The next day, at the restaurant, Betsy apologizes to Jim, and he calls her disgusting. She runs away crying, and Jim returns to his motel. Jim breaks into Iris' room, scares off her client, and beats her savagely.

After he berates Iris, God, and the kids who raped him, he takes Iris to the church, where he strangles her. Marznap and Jim then discuss what to do next; Marznap counsels him to commit suicide, and Jim slits his own throat.

In the epilogue, the police reveal that Jim has killed six trans- women prostitutes on his various dark tourism trips, and a young man visits Jim's house as part of his own dark tourism. Around a hole in the wall in Jim's house, a message reads, "From this void, no one returns!"Production[edit]Production was originally to take place in New Orleans but moved to Los Angeles after a money dispute.[2] Cudlitz and Griffith were drawn to the film because of the writing.[3]Release[edit]Dark Tourist premiered at Filmfest München on July 3, 2.

Square Enix Gave Sweet, Fake SNES Carts To King's Tale Staff. Square Enix gave a pretty nifty thank- you gift to the developers of A King’s Tale: Final Fantasy XV—a replica Super Nintendo cartridge with the game’s art and logo. It even includes the box. It’s a thematically appropriate gift, since A King’s Tale is a (free) game for Xbox One and Play. Station 4 that’s styled after a Super Nintendo game. It’s a side- scrolling beat- em- up with pixel art and a chiptune- esque soundtrack that tells an early story of King Regis’ adventures. No, the cartridge doesn’t actually do anything.

A King’s Tale may be a retro- styled game, but it wouldn’t play on an SNES. This is purely for decoration, and for staring at while dreaming of a past that never happened. While only a few of these were produced and only shared with the game’s development team at San Diego- based Empty Clip Studios, the copy pictured was obtained by game publisher Limited Run Games’ CEO Josh Fairhurst, and shared on Reddit.

I was gifted this by the guy who owns the studio,” he wrote. Fairhurst, who confirmed the cart’s veracity to Kotaku on Saturday, added on Reddit that attempts to buy the cartridge from him would fall on deaf ears. This isn’t for sale by me nor will it ever be,” he wrote. Can’t imagine any of the game’s developers would give theirs up, either.
