Futurama (Hulu Series) [televison]

 Futurama (Hulu Series) [television]

I LIKED ORIGINAL RUN FUTURAMA WELL ENOUGH. I KINDA ACTIVELY DISLIKED THE MOVIES AND THEN THE COMEBACK SERIES WAS KINDA ACTIVELY BAD (ALTHOUGH IT STILL MANAGED TO HAVE SOME GOOD EPISODES, LIKE LATE PHILIP J FRY AND THE TIME STOP FINALE WERE BOTH SOME OF THE BEST EPISODES OF THE WHOLE SERIES). THIS IS THE THIRD COMEBACK. IT'S AMAZING HOW PERFECTLY THIS REPLICATES THE ORIGINAL IN A WAY THE OTHERS NEVER DID. THE ORIGINAL IS JUST OKAY SO THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S AMAZING, BUT IT'S AMAZING HOW MUCH THIS FIGURED OUT THE CORE OF EVERY FUTURAMA JOKE IS SOMEONE SAYING A WORD THEN SOMEONE ELSE SAYING THE SAME WORD ("LETS GO TO THIS EXPENSIVE RESTAURANT".... "THAT SOUNDS EXPENSIVE"). LIKE YOU DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT BUT THAT WAS LIKE 75% OF THE JOKES IN THE ORIGINAL THEN TOTALLY WENT AWAY. NOW IT'S BACK AND IT'S SO OBVIOUS HOW CORE THAT WAS TO THE FUTURAMA FEEL.

PS. FOR SOME REASON I REALLY LIKE THE WHITE HOLE EPISODE. IT WAS JUST REALLY GOOD 1950S SCI FI. THE WORST EPISODE WAS THE BOAT EPISODE BECAUSE IT WAS JUST DULL, BUT THE ACTUAL WORSE EPISODE WAS THE MATHLAND ONE, YOU CAN JUST SO TELL THEY WERE ALL PROUD OF THE MATH FAME FROM THE BODY SWAP STUFF SO THEY TRIED TO WRITE A NEW MATH THING, BUT YOU CAN JUST ABSOLUTELY TELL THE GUY WHO TRIED TO WRITE THE ORDERS OF INFINITY STUFF DIDN'T UNDERSTAND IT AND TRIED TO JUST COPY THE WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE BECAUSE IT JUST DIDN'T FIT AT ALL IT'S SAD BECAUSE THAT IS EVEN A REASONABLY GOOD PREMISE FOR SOME DUMB FUTURAMA EPISODE.

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?

Dear Ijeawele, or a Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions [book, nonfiction]

 Dear Ijeawele, or a Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions [book, nonfiction] I DON'T KNOW, THIS WAS RELATIVELY INTERESTING. I WANTED A NEW BOOK AND WALKED BY A LITTLE LIBRARY AND GRABBED THE ONE THAT FELT DIFFERENT THAN WHAT I'D NORMALLY READ. THIS IS A LETTER ABOUT RAISING A DAUGHTER IN A FEMINIST WAY AND IT ISN'T ANYTHING TOO WILD, BUT THE AUTHOR IS NIGERIAN AND WRITING TO SOMEONE NIGERIAN AND I REALLY LIKED THE POINTS WHERE  A CONCEPT WAS BROADLY RECOGNIZABLE BUT THE SPECIFIC EXAMPLE WAS UNIQUE. LIKE "USING EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY TO JUSTIFY SOMETHING SEXIST" IS DEFINITELY A THING HERE, BUT I LIKE THE EXAMPLE WAS "THAT IS WHY MEN HAVE TO PICK DAUGHTER'S FIRST NAMES" WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY NOT A THING HERE. MOSTLY PRETTY STRAIGHTFOWARD OTHERWISE (MOSTLY STUFF LIKE "DON'T JUST BUY A GIRL DOLLS, GET HER A HELICOPTER TOY IF SHE WANTS") PS. I LIKE THAT THIS IS ACTUALLY JUST AN EMAIL THEY WROTE PUBLISHED INTO A BOOK. I GUESS THERE IS NOTHIN...

 There Is No Antimemetics Division [book, audiobook] THIS IS THE SCP BOOK AND I GOT RECOMMENDED IT ONE TRILLION TIMES AND EHHHHH, I GET WHY, I CAN IMAGINE A BOOK THAT IS 90% LIKE THIS THAT I LOVE BUT THIS JUST RUBBED ME THE WRONG WAY.

BUT THEN THE IDEA WAS..... A BIG SPIDER THAT EATS YOU. AND THAT SUCKS. IT SUCKS IT KEPT INVENTING LEGITIMATELY INTERESTING SITUATION THEN SOLVED LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE ONE WITH A NEW DRUG. THE DRUGS EVEN HAD SEQUENTIAL LETTERING SO WHEN THEY SOLVED ONE PROBLEM WITH 'DRUG W' YOU JUST KNEW THE NEXT PROBLEM WOULD BE DRUG Y, AND THE FINAL SECRET DEUS EX BEING THEM USING DRUG Z IS JUST STUPID. BACKROOMS HAS A THING WHERE THE PO...
