Berserk: The Golden Age Arc I - The Egg of the King [anime, movie]

I HAVE TRIED TO WATCH BERSERK LIKE 50 TIMES BECAUSE THEY KEEP MAKING IT AND IT'S NEVER ESPECIALLY GOOD AND I GUESS THEY MADE THIS ONE SUPER HOMOEROTIC? IT'S WEIRDLY HOMOEROTIC. PS. THE TITLE IS TOO DAMN LONG.

Wild Kratts: Christmas Creatures [television]

AT SOME LEVEL ALL TV FOR CHILDREN IS JUST VARIOUS LEVELS OF TOY COMMERCIALS BUT JESUS CHRIST PBS HOW GOD DAMN FAR DID YOU HAVE TO GO IN LISTING EVERY ANIMAL LIKE 50 TIMES BY NAME UP TO INCLUDING THE FINAL DEFEAT OF THE VILLAINS BEING ACCOMPLISHED BY LISTING EVERY SINGLE STUPID STUFFED ANIMAL YOU ARE CLEARLY SELLING. PS. IT TOOK ME A MINUTE TO FIGURE OUT HE WAS LOOKING BEHIND THE CURTAIN TO LOOK AT UNWRAPPED PRESENTS, NOT THAT THE YOUNG GIRL WAS CHANGING BACK THERE OR SOMETHING.

Welcome to Night Vale [book]

I THINK THEY MADE A VERY GOOD CHOICE BY LARGELY MAKING THIS NOT ABOUT NIGHTVALE RADIO OR THE NORMAL CHARACTERS. I THINK CENTERING IT LARGELY ON A STAND ALONE CAST AND GOING TO A STAND ALONE TOWN WAS REALLY WISE AND MADE THIS GOOD. IT'S WEIRD, I LOVE NIGHTVALE AND LISTEN TO IT ALL SO I KNEW WHERE EVERYTHING WAS COMING FROM BUT I ALMOST WISH THEY HAD DROPPED DOWN A NOTCH ON NIGHTVALE BEING SO TOTALLY BONKERS TO HIGHLIGHT MORE THE WEIRD THE BOOK FOCUSED MOST ON SINCE ALL THAT WEIRD WAS METAPHOR AND THE OTHER WEIRD WAS MOSTLY JUST NORMAL WEIRD. PS. I LIKE THE TRAFFIC AND I LIKE THEY REMEMBERED THEY DID THAT FOR THE BOOK BECAUSE THEY NEVER DO IT AT ALL ENOUGH IN THE SHOW.

The Hundred-Foot Journey [movie]

I GUESS  THE ANSWER WAS RACISM AND I GUESS IT WAS A PRETTY SECLUDED RESTAURANT SO THAT MAKES IT A LITTLE WEIRDER BUT CONCEPTUALLY A LOT OF THIS MOVIE SEEMED BASED ON THE IDEA THAT OPENING A RESTAURANT NEAR ANOTHER RESTAURANT IS SOME HUGE DEAL AND THAT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THAT IS HOW THAT WORKS AT ALL, ESPECIALLY IF THE RESTAURANTS ARE NOTHING AT ALL ALIKE.   PS. THE PART WITH HIS HANDS GETTING BURNED USED EFFECTS THAT WERE SO HOKEY THAT THAT SERIOUS SCENE WAS JUST AMAZING AND UNINTENTIONALLY HILARIOUS.

I Am Ali [movie, nonfiction]

I GUESS I DIDN'T REALLY KNOW A TON ABOUT MUHAMMED ALI? SO NOW I KNOW A LITTLE MORE I GUESS? OKAY?   PS. FOR EXAMPLE: I HAD NO FRIGGIN IDEA HE WAS A PERSON THAT WAS STILL ALIVE?

Donyatsu [anime]

OKAY, SO WHAT IF THERE WAS A NUCLEAR(?) WAR AND EVERYONE ON EARTH WAS DEAD AND THE ONLY THING LEFT WAS A CAT WHO WAS ALSO HALF CHOCOLATE DONUT AND HIS OTHER CAT FRIENDS WHO ARE BAGELS AND STUFF? PS. THIS WAS ACTUALLY MOSTLY NOT VERY GOOD BUT THE WHOLE SERIES IS LIKE 25 MINUTES LONG AND THE PREMISE IS SUPER CHARMING.

Genius Party Beyond [movie]

BASICALLY THE SAME AS THE OTHER ONE: IT'S STORIES WRITTEN BY ANIMATORS TO GET TO ANIMATE THE MOST COOL STUFF SO NONE OF THE STORIES REALLY MAKE A TON OF SENSE. DIMENSION BOMB HOWEVER FEELS LIKE IT MAY BE THE PIECE OF MEDIA THAT I UNDERSTAND THE LEAST OF ANYTHING I'VE EVER WATCHED.   PS. I FAST FORWARDED THROUGH THE KID ONE, IT FELT TOO BORING, MAYBE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WONDERFUL BUT I DIDN'T LIKE LOOKING AT THE STYLE EITHER.

Genius Party [movie]

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE THEY LET THE ANIMATOR WRITE THINGS SO ITS JUST A BUNCH OF ABSTRACT NONSENSE THAT BARELY IS COHERENT BUT MAN I LOVED THIS AND A BUNCH OF THESE WERE HELLA GOOD. PS. ONE HAD THE CONCEPT HUMANS WANT SYMETRY HORIZONTALLY BUT NOT VERTICALLY OR IN DEPTH AND IM HAVING A HARD TIME IMAGINING WHAT DEPTH SYMETRY WOULD EVEN BE OUTSIDE ORBS OR SOMETHING. 

The Quiet Earth [movie]

WELL THAT CERTAINLY WAS AN ENDING I GUESS?   PS. I'M RUNNING OUT OF 1980S APOCALYPSE MOVIES TO WATCH AND HYPE MYSELF UP. I CAN'T FIND 'WHOOPS APOCALYPSE' ONLINE ANYWHERE EITHER.

Jazzpunk [game]

THIS GAME ISN'T FROG FRACTIONS BUT THIS GAME IS TOTALLY FROG FRACTIONS. PS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kcUjuXBFA8

Life is Strange [game]

THIS GAME IS GREAT, THE BEST PART OF THIS GAME IS THAT THE EARLY EPISODES HAD ACTUAL BAD ATTEMPTS AT GAMEPLAY LIKE THE BOTTLE PUZZLE BUT THE GAME CAME OUT SO SLOW OVER SO MANY MONTHS THAT BY THE END THERE WAS NO MORE GAMEPLAY AND JUST A BUNCH OF JOKES ABOUT HOW BAD THE BOTTLE PUZZLE WAS IN THE LATER CHAPTERS.     PS. THIS GAME IS 100% JUST HEAVY RAIN BUTTERFLY EFFECT DONNIE DARKO TWIN PEAKS DAWSON'S CREEK BUT IT IS ALSO 100% SAD AND GAY SO I LOVE IT WITH ALL MY HEART.
