Star Trek: The Motion Picture [movie]

I THINK THIS IS THE ONLY STAR TREK MOVIE I REALLY HAVE NOT WATCHED EVEN A LITTLE, ALTHOUGH THERE IS SEVERAL I HAVEN'T WATCHED IN YEARS OR NEVER WATCHED END TO END. THIS JUST REALLY DIDN'T FEEL LIKE STAR TREK, NO ONE LIKED THIS MOVIE, RIGHT? IT JUST HAD A WEIRD TONE AND THE TECHNOLOGY ALL SEEMED WRONG. ALSO OF COURSE I HAD THE BIG TWIST SPOILED.
 
 
PS. SO SO MANY LONG LINGERING EFFECT SHOTS OF EFFECTS THAT WEREN'T VISUALLY INTERESTING.

The Coffee Table [movie]

 The Coffee Table [movie] EH, THIS IS ANXIETY BASED HORROR MOVIE AND THAT IS A GENRE THAT ODVIOUSLY WORKS WELL ON ME, BUT THIS GOT TO VERY THREE'S COMPANY LEVELS WITHOUT THERE BEING ENOUGH TO IT. I DIDN'T DISLIKE IT BUT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER. PS. I FEEL LIKE IT WAS DRIVING ME CRAZY THAT I COULD NOT AT ANY POINT ENVISION WHAT HAPPENED. LIKE, 'WHAT HAPPENED' IS VERY OBVIOUS AND BRUTAL. THE WHOLE ENTIRE MOVIE IS ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES, BUT IT WAS MAKING ME CRAZY THAT I CAN NOT ENVISION EXACTLY HOW THE EVENT WENT. LIKE, SOMEONE NEEDS TO DRAW ME A VECTOR DIAGRAM OF HOW IT WORKED. LIKE, I KNOW THEY WANTED THE MOST GRUESOME THING THEY COULD THINK OF TO HAPPEN, BUT LIKE.... HOW. WHAT MOTION WAS HE DOING? I FEEL LIKE THIS QUESTION TAINTED MY ABILITY TO WATCH THIS ENTIRE MOVIE!

Wizard of Earthsea [book, audiobook]

 Wizard of Earthsea [book, audiobook] I READ THIS BOOK WHEN I WAS LIKE 13 AND HATED IT, JUST *HATED* IT. BUT IT'S CLEARLY A BOOK I SHOULD LIKE BY AN AUTHOR I LOVE SO I DECIDED TO GIVE IT ANOTHER CHANCE TO AT LEAST UNDERSTAND WHAT RUBBED ME SO MUCH THE WRONG WAY.  I THINK A LOT OF IT WAS JUST NOT RELATING WELL TO THE TEEN CHARACTER AND HIS WRONG DECISIONS FRUSTRATING ME SINCE EVERYTHING HE DID SEEMED SO UNFORCED.  I THINK THE LARGER REASON WAS I REALLY HATED FANTASY BOOKS AT THE TIME AND LARGELY HATED READING THEM BECAUSE OF FANTASY NAMES AND THIS BOOK IS ABOUT NAMES SPECIFICALLY SO EVERYONE HAS 30 DIFFERENT STUPID FANTASY NAMES AND I THINK I HYPERBOLICALLY LATCHED ONTO THAT AS THIS BOOK BEING THE SPECIFIC EXAMPLE OF WHY I HATE FANTASY. READING THIS DECADES LATER IT'S NOT SO BAD AND I'LL PROBABLY CONTINUE THE SERIES.  PS. THIS BOOK *DOES* HAVE GEB FROM GONT WHO IS FIGHTING A GEBBETH WHO IS ALSO NAMED GEB SO I CAN'T TOTALLY SAY I WAS WRONG ABOUT THE NAMES OF EVERYTHING...

Deck the Halls [movie]

 Deck the Halls [movie] A PAINFUL EARLY 2000S CHRISTMAS MOVIE WITH A PAINFULLY EARLY 2000S PREMISE. LIKE, DANNY DEVITO CAN SEE HIS NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE ON GOOGLE EARTH BUT NOT HIS OWN SO HE NEEDS TO LIGHT IT UP SO IT CAN BE SEEN FROM SPACE. BUT LIKE, WHAT? WHY CAN THEY SEE THE NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE? THEY HAND WAVE WHY IT'S LIVE BUT IT'S SUCH A EARLY 2000S "I HEARD ABOUT GOOGLE EARTH AND WANT TO MAKE A MOVIE WITH THAT BUT I HAVEN'T LOOKED OR THOUGHT ABOUT IT MUCH" PS. IT'S SO HARD TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE MOVIE THINKS THE RELATIVE MORALITY OF THE TWO CHARACTERS ARE. THEY ARE BOTH BAD AND LEARN THAT LESSON IN THE END BUT LIKE, THE APPARENT "GOOD GUY" IS SO CLEARLY A THOUSAND TIMES WORSE AND IT'S SO UNCLEAR IF THE MOVIE KNOWS THAT
