Bliss Montage [book, audiobook]

 Bliss Montage [book, audiobook] GAHHHHHHHH. I HATE THIS. LIKE ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO I READ THE FIRST BOOK BY THIS AUTHOR AND IT STARTED OUT AS THIS RICHLY TEXTURED MULTILEVEL THEMATIC METAPHOR ABOUT A DISEASE THAT MADE YOU FALL INTO SIMPLER AND SIMPLER ROUTINE UNTIL YOU DIED, AND IT WAS LIKE A STORY ABOUT THE SURVIVORS ACCIDENTLY RECREATING THE SAME WORLD THEY LOST, AND LIKE, IMMIGRANT PARENTS WHO TRIED SO HARD TO AVOID CLINGING TO THEIR OLD LIFE SO HARD THEY WERE DOING EVERYTHING BY DOING IT'S OPPOSITE AND IT WAS THIS REALLY GREAT BOOK THAT SUDDENLY AT THE HALF WAY MARK GAVE UP ANYTHING THEMATIC AND JUST BECAME THE BLANDEST ACTUAL ZOMBIE BOOK IMAGINABLE. I HATED IT SO MUCH.  LIKE THE BASE SCI-FI PREMISE OVERTOOK AND PUSHED OUT THE THEMATIC SYMBOLIC STORY. THIS IS A BOOK OF SHORT STORIES BY THE SAME AUTHOR, ALMOST EVERY STORY ALSO STARTS WITH A MAGICAL REALISM SCI-FI PREMISE AND THEN BASICALLY EVERY STORY SEEMS TO EJECT THE THEMATIC PREMISE AND GO TO A TOTALLY MUNDANE STORY.

Evangelion Broadcast 30th Anniversary Special Performance [anime]

 Evangelion Broadcast 30th Anniversary Special Performance [anime] AH, THIS WAS CUTE. IT WAS JUST A SERIES OF COMEDY SEGMENTS BUT LIKE, THE CORRECT SORT OF COMEDY. LIKE STICKING IN RANGE OF HOW WACKY THE SHOW ACTUALLY WAS INSTEAD OF BEING SO OVERWELMINGLY SILLY. I FEEL LIKE THE BEST JOKE IN THE WHOLE THING WAS SHINJI ROTATING UP FROM THE GROUND THEN ROTAING BACK INTO THE GROUND. PS. I FEEL LIKE THE INTENT OF THIS WAS KINDA TO MAKE AN OFFICAL VERSION OF ASUKA ENDING. I FEEL LIKE I NEVER LIKED EVANGELION BEING A SHIPPING SHOW. I KNOW 1990S FANS WERE BIG ON IT BUT IT FELT WEIRD AND BAD EVEN AT THE TIME. LIKE SHINJI SHOULDN'T BE DATING ANY OF THESE PEOPLE AND IT'S NOT LIKE, HARUM ANIME. PLUS EVERYONE IS HIS MOM.

Apparently, Sir Cameron Needs to Die [book, audiobook]

 Apparently, Sir Cameron Needs to Die [book, audiobook] THERE WAS A TUMBLR OF LIKE, SOMEONE'S WEIRD DAMP LOOKING CAT WHICH I HAVE FOLLOWED FOR LIKE 15 YEARS AND THEY WROTE A BOOK SO I GOT A COPY. IT'S KINDA GOOD AND ALMOST REALLY GOOD? THE BASE PREMISE IS LIKE, A FANTASY ROMANCE MAIN CHARACTER LIVING IN LIKE, A FANTASY WORLD THAT IS NOT THAT. AND IT EVOLVES INTO LIKE, A SEXUAL ROMANCE BETWEEN HIM AND AN ELDERLY EVIL WIZARD. I FEEL LIKE IT'S GOOD, BUT DOES KINDA STRUGGLE CHAPTER TO CHAPTER TRIANGULATING BETWEEN "THIS IS A PARODY OF A ROMANCE NOVEL", "THIS IS A ROMANCE NOVEL ACTUALLY" AND "THIS IS THE INTERACTION BETWEEN A ROMANCE NOVEL CHARACTER AND A TRADITIONAL FANTASY EVIL WIZARD". PS. I LIKE THAT A LOT OF THIS NOVEL IS UNFOCUSED BUT BECAUSE I FOLLOWED THEM AND THEIR WET CAT IT'S SUPER OBVIOUS WHY THERE IS LIKE 5 CHAPTERS THAT SOMEONE IS DEALING WITH GENDER ISSUES AND A STUCK IN PREMISE WHERE SOMEONE DEVELOPS SENSORY ISSUES THAT BARELY CO...

Trigun: Stargaze [anime, television]

 Trigun: Stargaze [anime, television] I DON'T KNOW, THE FIRST ONE WAS LIKE, KINDA BAD BUT HAD HEART AND WAS CHARMING, I THINK I JUST ACTUALLY DISLIKE THIS ONE. IT JUST FELT LIKE WOLFWOOD FIGHTING AN ENDLESS SERIES OF WEIGHTLESS BOSS FIGHTS AND ALL THE IDEA OF ANY SORT OF THEMES OR MEANING FELT GONE, AND EVERYTHING FELT DUMBED DOWN. LIKE GOD, THE CONVERSATION ABOUT THE MECHANICS OF HAIR COLOR FELT LIKE IT WENT ON FOREVER AND WAS LIKE, OVEREXPLAINING THE MOST STRAIGHTFORWARD VISUAL STORYTELLING POSSIBLE. THE ENDING WAS ALSO OFFENSIVELY BAD. LIKE THE MARVEL MOVIE THING WHERE THE VILLIAN IS SO ABSURDLY OBJECTIVELY CORRECT ON SOME POINTS  THEN THEY MAKE HIM A GIANT MONSTER SO IT DOESN'T MATTER. MERYL BEING LIKE "OH MAYBE OUR DECENDENTS WILL FIX THIS" AND THE WHOLE "THEY LOVE BEING SLAVES, THEY WOULD DIE OF LONELYNESS IF THEY DON'T" IS STRAIGHT TRASH WRITING.  PS. ON THE OTHER HAND A BATTLE SAXAPHONE IS EXTREME EARLY 90S WRITING AND I LOVE THEY KEPT THAT ONE P...

Project Hail Mary [movie]

 Project Hail Mary [movie] IT'S FUNNY, THE BOOK HAD A THING WHERE IT WAS CLEARLY STARTING OUT BEING ACTUAL HARD SCI-FI BUT THAT WAS TOO HARD SO IT TURNED INTO LIKE, A COMPUTER ADVENTURE GAME WHERE EVERY CHAPTER WAS SOLVED BY KNOWING EXACTLY ONE MIDDLE SCHOOL SCIENCE PRINCIPAL, THEN THE LAST THIRD WAS LIKE, BUDDY ACTION ADVENTURE. IT'S FUNNY THIS CUT OUT THE HARD SCI-FI AND THE ADVENTURE GAME STUFF, BUT ALSO CUT OUT MOST OF THE ACTION SCENES AND WENT JUST FOR ROCKY BUDDY MOVIE. IT WORKED REALLY WELL. THIS WAS A V. CHARMING MOVIE. PS. I KINDA FEEL LIKE THIS WOULD BE A REALLY WEIRD MOVIE TO SEE IF YOU DIDN'T READ THE BOOK, THEY GLOSS OVER LIKE 90% OF EVERYTHING BUT THE BUDDY STUFF. WHICH IS GOOD, BUT I WONDER IF THE PLOT IS EVEN COMPREHENSIBLE IF YOU DON'T ALREADY KNOW?

Trigun: Stampede [anime,tevelvision]

 Trigun: Stampede [anime,tevelvision] I WATCHED MOST OF THIS ON THE PLANE, IT'S SO ALMOST GOOD. LIKE THE 3D/2D ANIMATION DIDN'T REALLY WORK BUT IT ALMOST DID AND LIKE THE ORIGINAL HAD A BIG ISSUE WHERE IT WAS A BUNCH OF EPISODIC SILLY STUFF THEN IN LIKE THE LAST TWO EPISODES WAS LIKE "I DID NOT KNOW YOU WERE A COWBOY ANGEL FROM OUTER SPACE" AND THIS ONE MADE THE STORY INTEGRATE WAY MORE FROM THE START, BUT THEN MESSED UP THE EPISODIC PART SO THINGS WOULD JUST START AND STOP MIDEPISODE. SO PEOPLE JUST BECOME FRIENDS DURING COMERCIAL BREAKS AND STUFF, MEH? PS. I WAS REALLY MAD THE PLANTS DIDN'T LOOK LIKE LIGHTBULBS ANYMORE THEN THERE WAS ONE SCENE WHERE "MILLIONS KNIVES" USED A MILLION KNIVES TO FULLY LIFT OUT THE MECHNISM AND IT LOOKED LIKE A DIFFERENT KIND OF MODERN LIGHTBULB AND I LIKED THAT

Five Nights at Freddy's 2 [movie]

 Five Nights at Freddy's 2 [movie] THIS MOVIE FELT WAY MORE INCOMPREHENSIBLE THAN THE OTHER ONE. USUALLY EVEN IF YOU DON'T KNOW DETAILS OF THE *LORE* YOU CAN JUST KINDA FOLLOW ALONG BY VIBES, BUT THIS FELT LIKE A REAL 'NO, WAIT, WHO IS THAT" MOVIE. I GUESS I'M ALWAYS A FAN OF "CALLING FOR HELP AND NO ONE ANSWERING" HORROR MOVIES AT LEAST. I ALSO REALLY LIKE THE "IT'S ET BUT THE THING IS TRANSPARENTLY MONSTEROUS AND EVIL" TYPE PLOT THIS HAD FOR LIKE 5 MINUTES AND WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT MOVIE.  PS. THIS HAD THE ANNABELLE PROBLEM. THE ORIGINAL FREDDY CHARACTERS MAKE SENSE, THEY ARE CLEARLY TOO SCARY TO BE REAL BUT ARE ON THE SCALE OF THE CHUCKY CHEESE ANIMATRONICS THAT ARE THEMSELVES INHERENTLY CREEPY. LIKE HOW RAGGIDY ANNE IS A CREEPY LOOKING DOLL. BUT THEN LIKE, WHY WOULD ANYONE EVER MAKE MARIONETTE LOOK LIKE THAT? LIKE IT WORKS FOR A HORROR THING TO BE "WHAT IF A CREEPY REAL LIFE THING WAS ACTUALLY EVIL" MORE THAN "WHAT IF THI...
