Birdbox [movie]

IT IS REALLY WEIRD HOW MUCH THIS MOVIE IS OPPOSITE QUIET PLACE. IS THAT INTENTIONAL? DID THEY WRITE THIS TO BE THAT? I MEAN, SEEING ISN'T THE OPPOSITE OF HEARING BUT YOU GET WHAT I MEAN. THIS DOESN'T SEEM LIKE A GENRE THAT EXISTED MUCH UNTIL TWO CAME OUT IN QUICK SUCCESSION.

PS. WAS THERE ANY NARRATIVE FUNCTION TO THE DOCTOR SURVIVING? IT FELT LIKE A OUT OF LEFT FIELD TWIST OR SOMETHING TO THE POINT I WAS SAYING 'OH, THEY JUST LOOKED AT THE THINGS AND THIS IS THE BEAUTIFUL THING THEY SEE BEFORE GOING INSANE" BEFORE THE CREDITS ROLLED. LIKE SHE WAS A MINOR NOTHING CHARACTER WITH LIKE ONE LINE THAT SHOWS UP RIGHT AT THE END FOR SOME "I'M HERE TOO!" MOMENT. I EXPECTED THE HORSES TO SHOW UP LIKE A MILLION TIMES MORE THAN THE DOCTOR.

 Encanto [movie] I FEEL LIKE THIS WAS A GOOD MOVIE THAT WAS WAY TOO UNFOCUSED TO BE A GREAT MOVIE. LIKE THE WHOLE OPENING SONG WAS A JOKE THAT THEY WERE INTRODUCING TOO MANY CHARACTERS THEN IT FELT LIKE ALL THE ISSUES EVERYONE WAS HAVING WAS SUPER LIGHT BECAUSE THERE WAS TOO MANY CHARACTERS. LIKE THE WHOLE "I HATE MY SISTER/OH I'M SO MAD I MAD A CACTUS/ACTUALLY I'M HAPPY NOW" ARC IS LIKE A MINUTE OF SCREEN TIME FOR NO REASON.  PS. I FEEL LIKE REWRITING IT SO ANIMAL KID WAS HIDING UNDER THE BED MORE SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE GRANDMA WOULD HATE HIM IF HE DIDN'T HAVE A GOOD POWER WOULD HAVE MADE THE CONFLICT SEEM LESS PULLED OUT OF NO WHERE. LIKE A GRANDMA HAVING TOO HIGH EXPECTATIONS IS REASONABLE BUT IT'S NEVER REALLY ESTABLISHED AS A PROBLEM UNTIL IT'S A PROBLEM.

Magicats! [book]

 Magicats! [book] Space-Time for Springers : This is just "my cat is sad" but wacky. A kitten convinced it will grow up to be human.  The Game of Rat and Dragon : This is some real extreme nonsense 1970s sci-fi. Things from the dark eat you if you travel through warp space, but human brains are too slow to react to the millisecond attacks, so they have to make psychic entanglement with strong hunter cats. There is vague romantic undertones to this.  The Cat from Hell: Oh, it's that stephen king story.  It's that thing from the tales from the darkside movie. The one king doesn't know how cats or mouths work.  Out Of Place: I don't remember anything about this story and have just reskimmed it right now and still can't tell you anything about it.  Schrödinger's Cat: I absolutely love Ursula K Leguin, but oof, this book just didn't work. It has a strong feeling of a metaphor based on some not quite right 1970s pop understanding of physics. Maybe it'
