False Positive [movie]

False Positive [movie] OH NO, I CAN SEE WHAT THIS WAS GOING FOR, I IMAGINE THE PERSON THAT WROTE IT PROBABLY WENT THROUGH A REAL PREGNANCY AND SAW THE HORROR POSSIBLE AND TRIED TO MAKE A JACOB'S LADDER STYLE MOVIE ABOUT IT BUT BOY OH BOY THIS DID NOT WORK. THIS IS NOT A GOOD MOVIE. HOWEVER PEIRCE BOSMAN DOING THE ABSOLUTE WORST ACTING IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAS LEGITIMATELY THE BEST AND ABSOLUTELY SOLD HIM AS SHITTY EVIL DOCTOR. I COULD NOT GET ENOUGH OF WATCHING HIM SUCK AT ACTING NORMAL.  PS. THE MOVIE SHOULD HAVE GONE TO CREDITS THE SECOND THE BABIES STARTED FLOATING AWAY. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A MOVIE THAT HAD A MORE OBVIOUS CHICKEN OUT FROM THE ENDING IT WAS BUILDING TO. THE ENDING THEY DID WAS NOTHING, IT WAS SO CLEARLY SUPPOSED TO BE TWINS START TO FLOAT AWAY, SCREEN FADES OUT, PETER PAN MUSIC PLAYS. SHOCKING ENDING, BUT I WOULD HAVE REVISED MY WHOLE OPINION OF THE MOVIE IF THEY HAD GONE FOR IT.  

Undermine [game]

 Undermine [game] I THINK MY DEFAULT OPINION IS TO LIKE ALL ROUGELIKES, SO I KINDA LIKED THIS AND PLAYED IT ENOUGH TO BEAT IT BUT I KINDA DIDN'T LIKE IT AT ALL, IT FEELS LIKE IT'S OVERALL FINE BUT HAS THIS VERY SPECIFIC FEELING THAT THE CONTROLS AREN'T QUITE GOOD ENOUGH AND THERE WAS JUST TOO MANY TIMES I DIED FROM NOT QUITE LINING SOMETHING UP QUITE RIGHT. LIKE IT WASN'T REALLY EVEN THAT FREQUENT BUT IT DEFLATED THE GAME SO MUCH EVERY TIME I TRIED TO WALK AND WENT OVER AN EDGE OF SWUNG THE AXE AND WAS A FEW PIXELS OFF HITTING. JUST MADE THE WHOLE GAME MEH. PS. ALSO I HATE THE FICTION. I LIKE GAMES THAT JUST IGNORED THE PREMISE OF RUNNING THE GAME OVER AND OVER OR GAMES THAT MAKE A GOOD STORY, THIS GAME'S HALF WAY OF MAKING YOU DIE AND IT BE JUST A DIFFERENT DUDE BUT THEN THE GAME FORGETTING THAT AND ACTING LIKE IT WAS JUST ONE PERSON FELT SO MUDDLED. 

How It Is [book, audiobook, amazing]

How It Is [book, audiobook, amazing] GOD, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS BOOK. I'M USING IT AS MY 'NOVEL IN VERSE' AND IT'S NOT WRITTEN IN VERSE BUT IT ALSO CLEARLY IS. LIKE IT'S PUSHED THE HUMAN CONCEPT OF WHAT A SENTENCE IS SO FAR BEYOND ANY REASON THAT IT'S CLEARLY A POEM MORE THAN A NOVEL. I PICKED THIS UP ONE TIME AND LITERALLY THOUGHT THE GIMMICK WAS JUST UNINTELLIGIBLE GIBBERISH. BUT HEARING IT AS AN AUDIOBOOK ACTUALLY MADE IT CLEAR IT REALLY WAS ACTUALLY A STORY. I CAN NOT IMAGINE WHAT SORT OF DIRECTION THEY HAD TO GIVE THE READER GUY TO GET HIM TO MAKE ANY OF THIS MAKE ANY SENSE. BUT IT'S REALLY GOOD! IT'S JUST THIS BARELY COHERENT NARRATOR VAUGELY DESCRIBING BEING TRAPPED IN SOME SORT OF ENDLESS MUD FILLED PURGATORY WITH A BUNCH OF EVENTS THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE ACTUALLY HAPPENING WHERE HE DRAGS HIMSELF ALONG FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS THEN SUDDENLY TOUCHES A BUTT STICKING OUT OF THE MUD. PS. THE WORST STORY ARC IN NGHTVALE WAS THAT STUPID THING WITH THE SA...

Luca [movie]

 Luca [movie] BEFORE THIS CAME OUT THE INTERNET LABELED THIS AS THE 'GAY MOVIE' AND IT'S SO FUNNY BECAUSE MORE THAN NOT THAT IS READING A LOT INTO THE RELATIONSHIP BUT IT'S STILL 1000% THAT ANYWAY. LIKE IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO THINK WHAT THE METAPHOR EVEN IS BEYOND THAT BUT THE IDEA IT'D BE THE TWO BOYS SPECIFICALLY IS SORT OF VAUGE. (ALTHOUGH IF IT WAS A BOY AND GIRL THAT HAD A SCENE OF HOLDING HANDS WHILE A TRAIN DROVE AWAY I THINK PEOPLE WOULD TAKE IT AS UNAMBIGIOUS).  PS. I LIKE THE WHOLE LUCA FAMILY, THE MOM PLAYING SOCCER, EXTREMELY OPENLY BUTCH GRANDMA, THE CREEPY UNCLE. 

Wish Dragon [movie]

Wish Dragon [movie] YOU KNOW, THIS WAS ACTUALLY SUPRISINGLY GOOD. I PUT IT ON AS BACKGROUND NOISE BUT IT IS A LEGIT DECENT MOVIE. LIKE IT HAD SOME ACTUALLY FUNNY JOKES AND STUFF LIKE THE LEGS ONLY KUNG FU GUY WERE REALLY WELL DONE. I'M A FAN OF THIS MOVIE. PS. THE AMOUNT OF DIRECTLY RIPPING OFF DISNEY ALADDIN WAS PAINFULLY HIGH BUT EVEN THAT WAS SORT OF CHARMING SINCE THE CONTEXT WAS SO DIFFERENT. GENIE WAS MODERN REFERENCES IN AN ANCIENT SETTING, THIS WAS AN ANCIENT GUY IN A MODERN SETTING. 

Our First Ten Years [Book, Nonfiction]

Our First Ten Years [Book, Nonfiction] IT'S FUNNY, THIS BOOK IS KINDA GOOD BECAUSE IT'S SO LAME. IT'S A HUSBAND AND WIFE (THE NIGHTVALE GUY AND THE PROVERB LADY AT THE END OF NIGHTVALE) TAKING TURNS TELLING THEIR VERSION OF EACH OF THE TEN YEARS OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP. AND LIKE, PREMISE WISE YOU THINK LIKE, THERE WILL BE SOME RASHOMON STUFF OR LIKE EACH SIDE OF THE STORY OF FIGHTS, OR SOMETHING TO MAKE THAT PREMISE NECESSARY, BUT THEY BASICALLY GET ALONG AND AGREE ON EVERYTHING, WHICH IS VERY FUNNY FOR A BOOK LIKE THIS. LIKE IT'S JUST A BIG NERD AND THEIR BIG EX PARTY GIRL GIRLFRIEND AND AT MOST THERE IS A FEW TIMES THEY USE A CERTAIN WORD IN A STORY WHERE YOU CAN TELL THEY TELL THAT STORY A LOT AND THAT WORDING IS THE OFFICIAL PART OF THE STORY. BUT IT'S KIND A CUTE THAT A BOOK FORMAT MADE FOR RETELLING CONFLICTS OR DISAGREEMENTS IS JUST A PERFECTLY NICE AND NEARLY CONFLICT FREE RELATIONSHIP. THEY MORE OR LESS TELL THE STORIES THE SAME OR ELSE USE THE CHAPTER TO WRI...

Cruella [movie]

 Cruella [movie] I DONT KNOW, THIS MOVIE WAS KIND OF GOOD? OR THIS MOVIE WAS TERRIBLE IN ALL WAYS BUT THAT MADE IT GOOD? I DONT KNOW IF THIS WAS EVEN GOOD BAD OR ANYTHING, IT WAS KINDA GOOD? BUT NOT GOOD AT ALL?  PS. JOKER FOR GIRLS IS RIGHT 

Awake [movie]

Awake [movie] I HAVE SUCH MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT THIS. IT REALLY FEELS LIKE A MOVIE THAT HAD REALLY ORIGINAL IDEAS THEN JUST MADE SOMETHING REALLY GENERIC OUT OF IT. ITS THAT THING WHERE IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING STOLE A GOOD IDEA SO NO ONE CAN USE IT AGAIN FOR A WHILE.  PS. LIKE THEY JUST MASHED LAST OF US AND 28 DAYS LATER STUFF WHERE THE BEST PART OF THE MOVIE WAS THEM GOING TO A LIBRARY 

Bo Burnham: Inside [movie]

 Bo Burnham: Inside [movie] THIS WAS GOOD, IT WAS, I LIKED IT. I DO FEEL LIKE IT GOT HYPED UP AS SUCH A BIG THING IT MADE IT HARD TO WATCH FAIRLY. LIKE I DON'T FEEL LIKE I WANT TO EVEN SAY WHAT PARTS WERE GOOD OR BAD BECAUSE PEOPLE TOOK TO THIS SO HARD WITH HEAVY EMOTIONAL RESPONSES. A BUNCH OF THEM WERE REALLY GOOD, SOME OF IT WAS REUSING THE SAME JOKE TOO MANY TIMES.  PS. I DO LIKE HOW GOOD HE DID WITH LIGHTING THE ROOM DIFFERENT AND I LIKE AT THE END YOU SAW THE DISCO BALL/HEADLAMP SETUP.
