The Fully Automated Love Life of Henry Keanridge [book]

 The Fully Automated Love Life of Henry Keanridge [book] THIS IS A 1971 PLAYBOY MAGAZINE SCI-FI ANTHOLOGY BOOK. I EXPECTED THIS TO BE BAD, I EXPECTED IT TO BE LIKE, OFFENSIVE OR SEXIST OR LOW BROW OR TRASHY OR SOMETHING. I DID NOT PREDICT IT WOULD BE THIS *BORING*. ALMOST EVERY STORE SIMPLY WENT NO WHERE. LIKE THE TITLE STORY IS JUST, A GUY WORKING IN A SHIPPING DEPARTMENT AND HAS ACCESS TO A SCHEDULING COMPUTER SO HE USES THAT TO DATE MULTIPLE WOMEN. FINE ENOUGH PREMISE, BUT IT JUST GOES ON FOR A WHILE THEN THE PLACE THAT FEELS LIKE A TWIST OR PUNCHLINE WOULD COME, HE JUST KINDA STARTS A BUSINESS IT'S LIKE EVERY STORY HAD TO BE AS ANTICLIMACTIC AS POSSIBLE. I GUESS THERE WAS ONE STORY WHERE A HOUSE HAD MAGIC WANDS AND TURNED THE LADY INTO A CAT THEN THE LADY MARRIED THE HOUSE.  PS. EXTREMELY WACKY COVER

The Gate of the Feral Gods [book, audiobook]

 The Gate of the Feral Gods [book, audiobook] THE THING ABOUT THIS SERIES IS EVERYONE HAS SO MUCH PLOT ARMOR AND DEUS EX MACHINA STUFF, BUT LIKE, IT'S DIEGETIC SO YOU CAN'T BE MAD?  I AM A LITTLE MAD AT HOW DUMB THE ICE AGENT AND WIFE PLOT ENDED UP BEING. LIKE, I AM SURE THE PVP RING WILL BE THE PLOT OF THE WHOLE NEXT BOOK, BUT FOR ALL THE BUILD UP IT TOTALLY SUCKED. LIKE IT FEELS LIKE IT HAD SO MANY LEVELS OF GIVING UP ON WRITING THE PLOTLINES.  PS. THESE ARE 'AUDIO BOOK +" ON AUDIBLE WHERE THEY ARE LIKE, SUPER PRODUCED WITH MULTIPLE ACTORS AND VOICE EFFECTS AND SOUND EFFECT AND STUFF TO THE POINT I FEEL BAD EVEN LISTING IT AS A "BOOK" ON CAPITAL REVIEWS. AT THE END OF EVERY ONE THEY DO A LITTLE IN CHARACTER AD FOR THE SITE THAT DOES IT. WHATS THE ORDER THESE CAME OUT VS THE BOOK RELEASES? THE SECOND BOOK SPOILED/FORSHADOWED STUFF FROM THIS BOOK. WAS THAT INTENTIONAL, OR WAS IT JUST THE CONCEPT OF THERE BEING DONUT MERCH AND IT BEING CHEAP AND BAD IS JUST SU...

Elio [movie]

 Elio [movie] I FEEL LIKE I CAN MAKE UP A BUNCH OF EXTREME READINGS OF THE MESSAGE HERE BUT LIKE, WHAT IS THE GOOD FAITH READING? IT REALLY SEEMS IT'S "IF YOU ARE DIFFERENT YOU MIGHT LITERALLY RUIN YOUR FAMILY AND THEY MIGHT BE DISGUSTED OR HATE YOU BUT THEY WOULDN'T WANT TO LOSE YOU" PS. I LIKE THE CLONE PARTS BEING ACTUAL HORROR

Aztec Batman: Clash of Empires [movie]

 Aztec Batman: Clash of Empires [movie] THIS IS A SPANISH LANGUAGE DC BATMAN FILM THAT ONLY CAME OUT IN MEXICO? IT'S KINDA GOOD? IT FELT VAGUELY RACIST BUT I THINK I DON'T KNOW THE NUANCE OF HOW MEXICO FEELS ABOUT AZTECS? PS WHY SO SERIOUS YOKA? (THAT WAS BOTH THE BEST AND THE STUPIDEST PART OF THE MOVIE)

Carl's Doomsday Scenario [book, audiobook]

 Carl's Doomsday Scenario [book, audiobook] IT'S WEIRD, THESE DO THE BAD WRITING THING OF EVERY SINGLE THING BEING TELEOLOGICAL. WHERE LIKE, IF THEY FIND A RANDOM ITEM, IT'S PAINFULLY OBVIOUS HOW THAT WILL PAY OFF LATER. BUT LIKE, THE NATURE OF THE STORY GIVES ENDLESS DIAGETIC EXPLANATIONS OF WHY IT WOULD BE THAT WAY.  ACTUALLY THIS LOVES DOUBLING UP ON THINGS. LIKE THE LAST BOOK ENDS WITH THEM GETTING A MANAGER AND THIS ONE STARTS WITH THEM GETTING A DIFFERENT DOUBLE MANAGER. PS. FOR SOME REASON I REALLY LIKE THE EXTREMELY MINOR DETAIL THAT THEY MENTION 3RD FLOOR ALWAYS HAS SOME VINE PLOT BECAUSE THE FICTIONAL ORIGINAL STORY HAD THAT. LIKE THAT IS EXACTLY HOW VIDEOGAME WRITING WORKS. IT ALSO PULLED IN 'FREAKS' TO LIKE, BE THE SAME THING

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple [movie]

 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple [movie] THIS MOVIE IS QUITE GOOD, I LIKED IT A LOT. BUT I'M GONNA BE HONEST, IT DID NOT IN ANY WAY PAY OFF THE MOST WACKY ENDING TO ANY MOVIE EVER MADE CLIFFHANGER. I DON'T THINK YOU COULD MAKE ANY OF THE MOVIES THE ORIGINAL WAS SETTING UP SO I GET IT, BUT HOW SAD.  PS. I LOVE HOW READY HE WAS TO HAVE A HEAVY METAL CONCERT. IT SEEMED STUPID, BUT LIKE, HE MADE A BONE TEMPLE, IT ACTUALLY MAKES WAY MORE SENSE THE AMOUNT HE WAS GOOD AT MAKING A HEAVY METAL CONCERT ON THE FLY IN A SINGLE DAY.
