Alice isn't Dead [audiobook, book]

Alice isn't Dead [audiobook, book]

I SHOULD BE CLEAR THAT I LIKE ALICE ISN'T DEAD QUITE A LOT BUT MAN, OOF. I FEEL LIKE THE PODCAST GOT REALLY MESSED UP BY IT'S TOO MANY EXTENSION AND FORMAT CHANGES AND WASN'T VERY GOOD IN THE END BECAUSE IT DID GET TOO MUDDLED UP AND A BOOK REWRITING IT SEEMED LIKE THIS PERFECT THING TO REALLY FOCUS THE STORY DOWN AND SMOOTH OVER HOW MUDDLED UP THE PLOT GOT, BUT IT FEELS LIKE THE BOOK WAS LIKE 5X MORE MUDDLED UP.

LIKE THE CORRECT STORY IS THAT KESHA HAS ANXIETY, THE THISTLE MEN ARE THE PEOPLE THAT TURN THEIR FEAR INTO HATE, THE POLICE COVER IT UP BECAUSE THE POLICE DON'T REALLY DISLIKE RACIST MONSTERS KILLING MINORITIES AND LOVE BEING ABLE TO TURN MONSTERS ON PEOPLE. THE GOVERNMENT TURNS A BLIND EYE. OFFICER CLOCK/KNOCK/TABLE IS A SPOOKY GUEST STAR WITH NO FURTHER EXPLANATION. BUT ALL THE OTHER ELEMENTS THEY ADD MAKE IT SO MUCH WORSE, NONE OF THE BAY AND CREEK STUFF HELPS, THE MILITARY BASE STUFF GOES NO WHERE, THE ORACLES ARE JUST "THE MATRIX" FAN FICTION AND PRAXIS IS POINTLESS AND WINNING BY HAVING A BIG FIGHT WITH KNIVES IS JUST A DUMB DIRECTION. LIKE THE MESSED UP CREATION OF THE PODCAST MADE THE STORY HAVE SO MUCH POINTLESS FLUFF AND THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD CHANCE TO FOCUS ON THE PARTS THAT WORK. BUT EH.

PS. LIKE 'PANIC ATTACK AS BERSERKER RAGE" LIKE 1/3RD OF THE WAY INTO THE BOOK WAS CLEARLY THE CLIMAX OF THE WHOLE BOOK BECAUSE IT WAS THE FINAL CLIMAX OF THE STORY WHEN THE PODCAST WAS GOING TO BE ONLY 12 EPISODES SO IT'S JUST THIS WEIRD OUT OF PLACE CLIMAX TO THE ENTIRE STORY RIGHT NEAR THE START THAT JUST GOES ON TO A BUNCH OF WEIRD FRAGMENTED SUB STORIES. LIKE, GUESS THEY WERE DERELICT BOMBERS FOR A WHILE IN A CLOWN MOTEL.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always [movie]

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always [movie] I DON'T KNOW. THIS MOVIE RULES. IT'S ONE OF THOSE MOVIES THAT IS DEFINITELY A PARODY BUT THE KIND OF PARODY WHERE THEY LITERALLY EVER MAKE A JOKE OR TRY TO BE FUNNY AND IT'S JUST LIKE THE MOST SPOT ON FULL HEARTED LEGITIMATE VERSION OF HOW STUPID POWER RANGERS ALWAYS WAS. LIKE ALL THE POWER RANGERS ARE 40 AND YOU THINK THEY WOULD MAKE JOKES ABOUT THAT, BUT THEY REALLY DON'T. SO YOU THINK THEY WOULD EXAGGERATE HOW BAD THE WRITING IS, BUT THEY DON'T DO THAT EITHER, OR YOU THINK THEY WOULD GO THE OTHER WAY AND TRY TO MAKE POWER RANGERS ACTUALLY COOL AS IT THOUGHT IT WAS AND THEY DON'T DO THAT THEY JUST WRITE EXACTLY WHAT EVERYONE WOULD HAVE SAID EXACTLY IN THE ORIGINAL AND JUST LET HOW STUPID IT IS STAND. IT RULES. LIKE HE JUST BREAK DANCE FIGHTS AND THE MOVIE NEITHER TRIES TO MAKE IT ANY LESS LAME THAN IT WAS NOR PLAYS UP HOW STUPID THAT IS. IT JUST DOES IT.  PS. JESUS CHRIST, YELLOW RANGER DIED IN REAL LIFE.

The Green Knight [movie]

 The Green Knight [movie] YEAH, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE MOVIES THAT I KNEW I WOULD LIKE SO MUCH I COULDN'T GET MYSELF TO WATCH IT BECAUSE OF THE PRESSURE. BUT YEAH, IT'S GOOD. I LOVE HOW CLEAR IT IS THEY JUST OWN ONE BIG SPOT LIGHT AND DECIDED TO MAKE EVERY SINGLE EFFECT IN THE ENTIRE MOVIE TURNING ON AND ON THAT LIGHT AND USING GELS. IT'S LIKE LEGITIMATELY GREAT.  I WOULD SAY LIKE 75% OF SCENES INVOLVE CAMERA LOOKING AT SOMETHING, SPOTLIGHT BEHIND A WALL DEAD CENTER TO THE CAMERA THEN SPOTLIGHT COMING ON AT SOME POINT TO SHOW THE MOOD SHIFTING AND IT LOOKS *SO GOOD* PS. I DO NOT THINK "MY SISTER QUEEFED YOU OUT" IS A REAL PHRASE FROM THAT TIME PERIOD OR THIS TIME PERIOD OR ANYTHING ANYONE HAS EVER SAID EVER. WHY DID HE SAY THAT?

Hypertrophy Genital Girls [movie]

YOU KNOW, I'VE KNOWN THIS MOVIE EXISTED FOR YEARS AND NEVER GOT AROUND TO WATCHING IT, ON ONE HAND NOBORU IGUCHI IS JUST ABOUT THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED BUT ON THE OTHER HAND THIS ONE IS JUST A FLAT OUT POROGRAPHY THAT JUST HAPPENS TO HAVE HIS INSANITY MAKEUP INCLUDED. I THINK MAYBE I HAD HOPED IT WOULD BE MORE NOBORU AND LESS PORONO BECAUSE REALLY IT WAS JUST 4 RAPE SCENES IN A ROW THEN AN HOUR LONG SCENE WITH THE TWO GIRLS HAVING 'SEX' AND PRETTY MUCH NO STORY. ALSO THERE IS NO TRANSLATION SO MY KNOWLEDGE OF JAPANESE WAS ALL I COULD USE TO FOLLOW THE STORY, LUCKY I KNOW "ALIEN", "CUNT", "WEIRDO", 'WHAT?' AND "STOP!" AND THAT IS REALLY ALL THERE WAS. PS. THE ONLY TWO PARTS THAT HAD THE MAGIC OF HIS REAL MOVIES WAS THE ALIEN PUNCHING THE GIRLS SUDDENLY WITH NO BUILD UP AND ALSO THE FACT THE VERY LAST SCENE IS THE GIRLS KISSING IN A SHOWER OF BLOOD COMING OUT OF THE GIRL'S GIANT PAPER MACHE VAGINA. WHAT?
