Black Mirror: Bandersnatch [game?]

Black Mirror: Bandersnatch [game?] I FELT LIKE I WANTED TO LIKE THIS A LOT BUT I KINDA JUST DIDN'T. LIKE IT WAS A REALLY COOL IDEA FOR A NETFLIX EXPERIMENT BUT EVERYONE WAS SUPER UNLIKEABLE AND THE PLOT WAS TOO PRECIOUS AND ALL THE CHOICES SEEMED ARBITRARY AND RANDOM, ALSO THE PACING WAS BAD AND THE CHOICE POINTS WERE EXACTLY RARE ENOUGH TO COME AT THE EXACT POINT I HAD STOPPED BEING READY TO MAKE A CHOICE. LIKE I GET THE MESSAGE WAS ABOUT FREE WILL BEING AN ILLUSION BUT I RARELY WAS PICKING CHOICES I WANTED TO PICK OR SEEING HOW THINGS WERE PLAYING OUT AND IT ALWAYS FELT LIKE IT WAS A GAME OF GUESSING WHAT THE RIGHT ANSWER WAS OR GETTING PUNISHED WITH HAVING TO WATCH 5 MINUTES OF NOT MUCH HAPPENING AND IT RESETTING. SO MEH? PS. THE ONLY REALLY GOOD PARTS WERE THE NETFLIX PATH, THE PART THE TV GUY SAYS LIKE A MILLION ADJECTIVES ABOUT HOW BAD THE GAME IS AND THE PART WHERE THEY COOL HACKER IS MAKING THE MOST REALISTIC BRITISH 1980S COMPUTER GAME ABOUT A GUY FALLING DOWN A BUILDI...

Nebula Award Stories Six [book]

Nebula Award Stories Six [book] SLOW SCULPTURE: OH MAN, THE AWARD WINNING NEBULA AWARD BEING A STORY ABOUT A TOTALLY INACCURATE UNDERSTANDING OF BREAST CANCER IS PERFECT NEBULA AWARDS. IN THE QUEUE:THE BEST PART OF THIS ONE IS THAT HIS LUNCH WAS A "VERY DRY HOTDOG AND A PAPER CUP OF WARM MILK", BLECH. THE ISLAND OF DOCTOR DEATH AND OTHER STORIES: OH MAN I MISINTERPRETED THIS AT FIRST AND IT WAS SO MUCH BETTER MY WAY. IT'S LIKE, A KID IN A WHIMSICAL FICTIONAL CHARACTER WORLD THEN IT SNAPS TO THE END WHERE IT'S JUST A SAD KID READING BOOKS AND HIS MOM IS ON METHAMPHETAMINE WHICH MADE HIM SAD. BUT THEY DROP THAT WORD FIRST IN THE FICTION AND I FELT 100% SURE THE TWIST WAS THE KID WAS ACTUALLY ON METH AND HALLUCINATIONS AND THAT WAS HILARIOUS. ILL MET IN LANKHMAR: I COMPLAIN THAT THE NEBULA AWARDS ARE JUST ALL FANTASY NOW INSTEAD OF SCI-FI BUT THIS WAS A FANTASY STORY AND TOOK UP LIKE HALF THE BOOK AND ALSO I ENDED UP SKIMMING IT SO BADLY I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHA...

Absolutely Anything [movie]

Absolutely Anything [movie] I REMEMBER SEEING AN ABSOLUTE TRILLION ADS FOR THIS MOVIE THEN ABSOLUTELY FORGETTING IT EXISTED AT ALL. WHICH IS GOOD BECAUSE THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BRITISH SCI-FI BRUCE ALMIGHTY. PS. LIKE EVERYONE FROM MONTY PYTHON WAS IN THIS THEN ALSO ROBIN WILLIAMS WAS IN THIS? LIKE WAY WAY AFTER HE WAS ALREADY DEAD.

The Lobster [movie]

The Lobster [movie] THIS MOVIE IS GREAT AND YOU SHOULD WATCH IT. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HOW CLEARLY IT'S AN ALLEGORY FOR *SOMETHING* BUT NO ONE KNOWS WHAT, AND LOOKING IT UP EVERYONE JUST VAGUELY SAYS 'RELATIONSHIPS' AND 'THE PRESSURE TO DATE' AND STUFF THAT SEEM OBVIOUSLY VAGUELY CORRECT BUT IT'S SUPER UNCLEAR WHAT IS WEIRD FOR WEIRD SAKE AND WHAT ACTUALLY WAS MEANT TO CONNECT UP WITH SOMETHING. LIKE I HAVE NO IDEA HOW ANYONE RELATES TO ANYTHING. PS. I LITERALLY LOOKED UP IF DAVID FIRTH MADE THIS MOVIE OR WAS INVOLVED IN SOME WAY (HE ISN'T, THE DOGTOOTH GUY MADE THIS), EVERYTHING FROM THE SPEECH PATTERNS TO THE WEIRD GRUESOME IMAGERY TO THE 'IT'S OBVIOUSLY A METAPHOR BUT NO ONE KNOWS FOR WHAT" MADE THIS FEEL LIKE A DAVID FIRTH CARTOON.

A Golden Christmas 2: The Second Tail [movie]

 A Golden Christmas 2: The Second Tail [movie] CAN YOU IMAGINE IF THIS HAPPENED TO YOU? IF YOU WERE PROPOSING TO YOUR GIRLFRIEND AND YOUR EX CAME AT YOU WITH A BUNCH OF DOGS, WHO THEN RAN OFF WITH YOUR FAMILY HEIRLOOM RING? THEN LATER WHEN YOU BOUGHT A NEW RING CAME TO YOUR HOUSE AND HAD THE DOGS KNOCK IT INTO THE SINK? LIKE HOW MUCH NOT A CUTE STORY THAT WOULD BE AND HOW MUCH YOU WOULD BE CALLING THE POLICE TO GET A RESTRAINING ORDER, INSTEAD OF DUMPING YOUR FIANCE TO DATE THIS EX? PS. I LIKE MOVIES LIKE THIS WHERE THE WORLD SEEMS TO CONTAIN EXTREMELY LIMITED NUMBERS OF PEOPLE SO LIKE, THE CHRISTMAS PARTY EVERYONE IS AT IS BY THE OLD MAN YOU MET TWICE AS A BASKETBALL COURT AND EVERYONE IN THE MOVIE IS THERE

Birdbox [movie]

Birdbox [movie] IT IS REALLY WEIRD HOW MUCH THIS MOVIE IS OPPOSITE QUIET PLACE. IS THAT INTENTIONAL? DID THEY WRITE THIS TO BE THAT? I MEAN, SEEING ISN'T THE OPPOSITE OF HEARING BUT YOU GET WHAT I MEAN. THIS DOESN'T SEEM LIKE A GENRE THAT EXISTED MUCH UNTIL TWO CAME OUT IN QUICK SUCCESSION. PS. WAS THERE ANY NARRATIVE FUNCTION TO THE DOCTOR SURVIVING? IT FELT LIKE A OUT OF LEFT FIELD TWIST OR SOMETHING TO THE POINT I WAS SAYING 'OH, THEY JUST LOOKED AT THE THINGS AND THIS IS THE BEAUTIFUL THING THEY SEE BEFORE GOING INSANE" BEFORE THE CREDITS ROLLED. LIKE SHE WAS A MINOR NOTHING CHARACTER WITH LIKE ONE LINE THAT SHOWS UP RIGHT AT THE END FOR SOME "I'M HERE TOO!" MOMENT. I EXPECTED THE HORSES TO SHOW UP LIKE A MILLION TIMES MORE THAN THE DOCTOR.

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip [movie]

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip [movie] I KNOW IT'S HOW ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS ALWAYS HAS WORKED BUT IT FEELS VERY STRESSFUL THAT LITERALLY EVERY BAD SITUATION IN THIS IS CAUSED BY THE CHIPMUNKS AND THERE IS AND LIKE, THEY AREN'T BEING UNFAIRLY PERSECUTED, LIKE THE GUY HAS A GRUDGE AGAINST THEM BUT THEY LITERALLY DID FORCE A PLANE DOWN AND STUFF. PS. SKUGGS LIFE IS THE ONLY FUNNY JOKE

Freaked [movie]

Freaked [movie] I FELL ASLEEP AT LIKE 6:30 LAST NIGHT, THEN WOKE UP AT 2AM AND HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF AND SOMEONE SAID THIS MOVIE WAS THE MOST 90S MOVIE EVER MADE AND LOOKED LIKE IT WAS FILMED INSIDE A SUPER SOAKERS COMMERCIAL AND SO I WATCHED IT AND HOLY CRAP THIS MOVIE IS SO GOOD. I LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH. IT REALLY IS THE MOST 90S MOVIE AND THE WAY YOU KNOW THIS IS TRUE IS BECAUSE I LITERALLY HAD THE THOUGHT "OH! THIS IS THAT MOVIE FROM THOSE POGS" AS A TOTALLY SERIOUS AND NON-IRONIC THOUGHT. THE MOVIE FROM THOSE POGS, IS DEFINITELY OFFICIALLY THE MOST 90S MOVIE. ALSO I ACTUALLY DID LIKE THIS, I LAUGHED OUT LOUD AT A BUNCH OF THE JOKES AND I ALMOST NEVER ACTUALLY LAUGH WHEN I'M WATCHING MOVIES ALONE. I "HEH". PS. FOR BEING THE MOST 90S MOVIE IMAGINABLE I AM SHOCKED AT HOW NON-TRANSPHOBIC IT MANAGED TO BE WITH THE MR-T/BEARDED WOMEN STUFF. LIKE THEY WERE STILL INHERENTLY THE JOKE BUT YOU EXPECT IT'S JUST GONNA BE JOKE AFTER JOKE ABOUT IT O...

Tomorrow is Already Here [book. nonfiction]

Tomorrow is Already Here [book. nonfiction] OH MAN, THIS WAS THE PERFECT BOOK TO READ WHILE PLAYING FALLOUT. (I MEAN, LITERALLY AT THE SAME TIME AT POINTS, THAT GAME CAN BE REAL BORING). IT'S LIKE, A NONFICTION BOOK WHERE A GUY ESCAPED NAZI GERMANY THEN CAME TO AMERICA AND THEN WROTE A BOOK ABOUT HOW TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED THE US IS IN THE EARLY 50S. IT IS ACTUALLY A BIT LESS STUPID THAN I HAD EXPECTED/HOPED BECAUSE EVERYTHING WAS PRETTY GROUNDED, BUT THE OFFICE ROBOTS WERE 100% PROTECTRONS AND IT SEEMED EXTREMELY CASUAL ABOUT RADIATION AND GOING OFF ON BEING SOUR AT URANIUM MINERS FOR GETTING 'YELLOW LUNG' AND TRYING TO STEAL SOME TRITNITE UNTIL THE GUARD MADE HIM PUT IT BACK AND ACTING LIKE THE GUARD WAS JUST BEING MEAN. PS. THE BEST PART WAS THE THING HE SEEMED MOST OUTRAGED BY WAS POLLINATING BEES. LIKE ALL THE ADVANCED WEAPONS AND LIE DETECTING MACHINES THAT WILL KEEP LOOSE WOMEN FROM BEING HIRED AND A THING WHERE YOU COULD JUST TAKE PICTURES OF NAKED WOMEN THAT ...

Fallout 76 [game]

Fallout 76 [game] MAN, THIS GAME IS EXACTLY AS BAD AS YOU HEARD IT WAS. I PUT ABOUT 80 HOURS IN (IT DOESN'T TRACK TIME DIRECTLY BUT I GOT THE 'PLAY 76 HOURS' ACHIEVEMENT) AND NOTHING IS RIGHT ABOUT THIS GAME. LIKE IT'S WEIRD HOW MUCH IS GOOD ABOUT THIS AND HOW IT FEELS LIKE THE GAME JUST DOESN'T EVER FINISH LOADING OR SOMETHING. LIKE THERE IS A WHOLE HAND CRAFTED JUMPING PUZZLE WITH A HOUSE THAT HAD A GIANT MUTANT TREE UNDER IT, IT'S REALLY NEAT. BUT GAMEPLAY WISE? YOU GET TO THE TOP AND ALL THAT IS THERE IS LITERALLY A NOTE THAT SAYS "I CAN'T WAIT TO PISS OFF THIS" AND LIKE THE GAME IS OBSESSED WITH HAVING JOINABLE FACTIONS LIKE IT'S ALWAYS REALLY CLEAR YOU AREN'T STEALING KEYCARDS OR SOMETHING TO GET ACCESS TO THINGS, YOU PERSONALLY ARE IN THE FACTION, BUT EVERYONE ELSE IS DEAD AND THERE IS LIKE 3 CHARACTERS IN THE WHOLE GAME AND EVERY QUEST ENDS WITH YOU WALKING IN A ROOM TO MEET THE PERSON THE QUEST YOU WERE DOING AND THEN "OH NO...

Aggretsuko: We Wish You a Metal Christmas [television]

Aggretsuko: We Wish You a Metal Christmas [television] THIS SEEMED REALLY WEIRD, DO PEOPLE IN JAPAN EVEN USE INSTAGRAM? DOESN'T EVERYONE JUST USE LINE? ISN'T THAT THE THING? DID INSTAGRAM MAKE THIS EPISODE? PS. IT'S WEIRD HOW MUCH THE SUBTITLES AND THE DUBBING ARE ENTIRELY DIFFERENT. I GUESS A LOT OF ANIME IS THAT WAY BUT NETFLIX LEAVES SUBTITLES ON BY DEFAULT.

Prince of Peoria: A Christmas Moose Miracle [television]

Prince of Peoria: A Christmas Moose Miracle [television] WHAT IF THE SUITE LIFE OF ZACK AND CODY WAS PERFECT STRANGERS? PS. "BOX OF HUMAN ORGANS"

Santa Paws 2: The Santa Pups [movie]

Santa Paws 2: The Santa Pups [movie] I KNOW IT'S BECAUSE I SKIPPED WATCHING THE FIRST ONE BUT I LOVE HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL NONSENSE MYTHOLOGY SANTA HAS IN THIS, LIKE NOT KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT THE FIRST ONE IS THE BEST WAY TO WATCH THIS, LIKE OF COURSE THERE IS A SECOND DOG SANTA AND OF COURSE ALL CHRISTMAS MAGIC IS STORED IN A GIANT ICE CRYSTAL IN A CAVE TEMPLE THING. PS. MOSTLY ALL I THINK ABOUT WITH AIR BUD MOVIES IS "AIR BUD DIED OF PAW CANCER" AS THE WORST FACT POSSIBLE

City [book]

City [book] DID YOU KNOW THE HUDDLING PLACE, IS JUST CHAPTER TWO OF A NOVEL ABOUT THE FUTURE HISTORY OF PSYCHIC DOGS TAKING OVER THE EARTH? BECAUSE HOLY CRAP I DIDN'T! AND READING THE FIRST CHAPTER MY FIRST ACTUAL THOUGHT WAS HOW I HAD NEVER READ ANOTHER STORY THAT TOOK THE HUDDLING PLACE TYPE IDEA ABOUT THE FUTURE, THEN CHAPTER TWO COMES AND HOLY CRAP IT'S JUST LITERALLY THAT STORY. I HAD NO IDEA! I ALSO LIKE THAT THEY ACTUALLY MAKE UP SOMETHING FOR JUWAINIAN PHILOSOPHY TO BE SINCE IT WAS SO STUPIDLY VAGUE AS A MACGUFFIN IN THE STORY (IT WAS A TRICK TO ACCURATELY VIEW SOMEONE ELSE'S POINT OF VIEW). I REALLY DO LIKE THIS BOOK, THE HUDDLING PLACE WAS A BIG DEAL STORY I READ A LONG TIME AGO AND THOUGHT ABOUT A BUNCH AND I FEEL LIKE THE "IF A LION COULD TALK YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND IT" MORAL OF THE REST OF THE BOOK IS LIKE, EQUALLY A THING I'M GOING TO MENTION AND REFERENCE A BUNCH AND THAT IS GREAT. PS. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE WEIRD 1940S SCIENCE TO UPLIFT...

Santa Claws [movie]

Santa Claws [movie] A BUNCH OF KITTENS MURDER SANTA THEN FOLLOW 'THE SANTA CLAUSE' RULES SO THEY HAVE TO BECOME SANTA (BUT THEN SANTA IS JUST BETTER LATER ANYWAY) PS. MOSTLY THIS WAS JUST REALLY BORING AND DULL AND THE GIRL AND MEAN SPIRITED.

The Christmas Chronicles [movie]

The Christmas Chronicles [movie] THE ONE THING I LIKED ABOUT THIS WAS THAT THE HOOLIGAN BROTHER WHO DIDN'T BELIEVE IN SANTA SEEMED TO FRAME IT AS 'DON'T BE STUPID, NO ONE CAN GET SANTA ON CAMERA' LIKE THAT WAS THE ABSURD PART, INSTEAD OF SANTA BEING UNFILMABLE BECAUSE THERE IS NONE. THIS MOVIE OTHERWISE SEEMED SO UNSENTIMENTAL IT SEEMED CUTE TO DO THAT. PS. THIS MOVIE SEEMS LIKE IT'D BE UNWATCHABLE WITHOUT THE SUBTITLES ON. ALL THE ELF TALK SEEMED NEAR GIBBERISH IF YOU COULDN'T READ IT.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse [movie]

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse [movie] THIS MOVIE IS VERY EXTREMELY GOOD. THE SUPER LOW FRAMERATE ART LOOKS REAL BAD A COUPLE TIMES OVER THE MOVIE BUT IS MOSTLY THE BEST AND MOST STYLISH THING TO COME OUT IN AGES AND THE WHOLE THING IS JUST GREAT. ALSO IT HAS A CALL OUT TO THAT ONE MEME OF SPIDERMAN SITTING AT A DESK AND ALSO I'M PRETTY SURE JFK FROM CLONE HIGH WAS ON A BILLBOARD. THIS MOVIE WAS JUST FLAT OUT GREAT. PS. DID MILES ALWAYS HAVE ELECTRICITY POWERS? WHAT EVEN IS THE DEAL WITH THAT? DO THE CEOS OF MARVEL AND DC THINK BLACK PEOPLE ACTUALLY HAVE ELECTRICITY POWERS? THERE IS LIKE 50 EXAMPLES NOW. SPIDERS DON'T HAVE ELECTRICITY POWERS.

Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas [movie]

Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas [movie] AT SCHOOL THE KIDS WERE DOING SOME FAKE HOLIDAY THING CALLED STORYBOOK DAY AND THEY WERE GOING TO WATCH THIS IN THE CAFETERIA AND THERE IS SOME AWFUL DRAMA WHERE THE CAFETERIA HAS A SOUND SYSTEM BUT IT'S FORBIDDEN TO USE IT BECAUSE NONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT KNOW HOW TO USE IT CHAPERONE THE DANCES, SO THE TEACHERS THAT DO ARE REALLY ANGRY AND FUSSY IF ANYONE CHANGES THE SETTINGS TO CONNECT ANYTHING ELSE SO IF WE SHOW A MOVIE OR SOMETHING IN THERE WE HAVE TO LUG IN OTHER SPEAKERS AND SET THEM ALL UP CUSTOM SO THIS WAS PLAYING REAL FLAKEY AND SO I JUST SAT IN THE BACK OF THE ROOM AND WATCHED THIS WHOLE MOVIE, ALTHOUGH ALL THE KIDS GOT HOT CHOCOLATE AND I DID NOT, SO 1 OUT OF 5 STARS. PS. I KNOW THEY HAVE MADE THIS JOKE BEFORE BUT I LIKE THAT SANTA KNOWS WHAT ROAST DUCK SMELLS LIKE IN A WORLD WHERE MOST OF THE POPULATION IS DUCK PEOPLE.

A Very Special Mad Horse Holiday Variety Revue! [play]

A Very Special Mad Horse Holiday Variety Revue! [play] MY ALL TIME FAVORITE ANIMAL INVITED ME TO THIS PLAY, I HAD TO DRIVE STRAIGHT FROM WORK TO SOUTH PORTLAND, AND IT WAS SUPER WORTH IT. IT WAS A VERY GOOD 1960S CHRISTMAS SPECIAL PARODY THING, FRAMED AS A DREAM A VERY FUNNY BUT VERY MEMEY AND DATED DONALD TRUMP IMPERSONATION WAS HAVING. I REALLY LIKE THAT A BUNCH OF THE ACTS WERE LEGITIMATELY GOOD, LIKE THE VAUDEVILLE GUY COULD HAVE BEEN A JOKE OF HIM BEING TERRIBLE BUT HE WAS ACTUALLY SUPER GOOD AT PHYSICAL COMEDY AND AT PLAYING AN ACCORDION.  ALSO I LOVE THAT I HAD NO IDEA THAT BING CROSBY HAD A REPUTATION AS AN ANGRY MAN SO THAT SEEMED LIKE SUCH A RANDOM CHARACTERIZATION, WHERE HE WAS SO MAD THAT I WAS ACTIVELY AVERTING MY EYES WHEN HE WAS GESTURING AT THE AUDIENCE JUST SO HE WOULDN'T POTENTIALLY YELL AT ME. PS. THIS PLAY HAD A BUFFET! OF 1960S GOOD HOUSEKEEPING STYLE FOOD. AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEY PLAYED IT SUPER STRAIGHT INSTEAD OF MAKING IT LIKE HALLOWEEN FOOD THAT EXA...

Beethoven's Christmas Adventure [movie]

Beethoven's Christmas Adventure [movie] THIS MOVIE DRAGGED ON A BUNCH AND WAS SORT OF TOO BORING BUT AT SOME POINT I THINK I MIGHT ACTUALLY HAVE LIKED THIS NON IRONICALLY. LIKE IT'S DUMB AND BAD BUT AT SOME POINT THE SHEER NUMBER OF WEIRDLY FAMOUS PEOPLE IN THIS SHOWING UP TO OVERACT TO ABSURD AMOUNTS ACTUALLY WAS GREAT. ANY SCENE WITH ROBERT PICARDO BEING AN OVER THE TOP VILLAIN WAS LEGITIMATELY GREAT. THE PLOT WAS STUPID AND MOST OF THIS WAS DUMB, BUT ANY OF THAT STUFF WAS GREAT. PS. I LIKE THAT I HAD THE THOUGHT 'BEETHOVEN USED TO BE SO MUCH BIGGER WHEN I WAS YOUNG' AND IT FELT LIKE SOME SORT OF GROWING UP TYPE THING BUT NO, THIS MOVIE JUST USES A DRAMATICALLY SMALLER DOG IN THE ROLL.

Free Rein: The Twelve Neighs of Christmas [movie]

Free Rein: The Twelve Neighs of Christmas [movie] IT'S THE TIME OF YEAR TO WATCH ALL THE BAD CHRISTMAS MOVIES. IT'S 12 DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS AND I'M GOING TO WATCH 12 CHRISTMAS MOVIES BEFORE THEN. I FEEL LIKE ALL THE PLOTS RESOLVED LIKE 45 MINUTES BEFORE THE PLOT ENDED. I GUESS THIS WAS A NETFLIX TV SHOW THAT I HAD NEVER HEARD OF, WHICH EXPLAINS MY CONSTANT CONFUSION WHO ANYONE WAS OR WHERE THEY WERE EVER. PS. THIS IS THE WORST TITLE ANY MOVIE HAS EVER HAD IN HISTORY. ALSO I DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW I'LL WATCH AN ENTIRE CHRISTMAS MOVIE EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR ALMOST 2 WEEKS.

Blindsight [book]

Blindsight [book] I REALLY REALLY LIKE THIS BOOK. I ALWAYS LIKE THIS SORT OF BOOK, WHERE THE AUTHOR HAS SOME DEGREE OF ACTUAL SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE AND THEN JUST WRITES SCI-FI WHERE THE WHOLE BOOK IS JUST PEOPLE FLYING SOMEWHERE THEN LOOKING AT IT WHERE THE ACTUAL STORY IS MINIMAL. LIKE EVERYONE IN THIS WAS IQ OF 1 MILLION TYPE TRANSHUMANS AND THE WAY THEY SHOWED ANYONE WAS SMART BY THEM JUST LOOKING AT SOMETHING ONCE AND THEN DESCRIBING AN ESSAY ON HOW EXACTLY IT WORKS AND IT'S ENTIRE HISTORY AND IT'S SO STUPID AS WRITING BUT I LOVE IT 100% OF THE TIME. THIS BOOK WAS REALLY REALLY GOOD. PS. ON THE OTHER HAND IT'S WEIRD AS FRIG THAT DRACULA VAMPIRES EXISTING WAS JUST A THING THAT HAPPENED TO BE TRUE IN THIS VERY HARD SCIENCE BOOK. LIKE, IT DID AN AMAZING JOB, GIVING MEDICALLY PLAUSIBLE REASONS FOR EVERY SINGLE ASPECT, RIGHT DOWN TO ESTABLISHING THAT HUMAN EYES HAVE HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL LINE DETECTORS IN OUR EYES AND A VAMPIRE THAT OVERGREW THE NUMBER OF EYE CELLS TO S...

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs [movie]

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs [movie] EVERY SINGLE SEGMENT I DECIDED THIS WAS THE SEGMENT I WASN'T GOING TO LIKE BUT THEY WERE PRETTY MUCH ALL GREAT, BECAUSE THE CHARACTER WRITING WAS GREAT, THE ONLY ONE I DIDN'T REALLY LIKE WAS "THE GIRL WHO GOT RATTLED" AND I LOOKED THAT UP AND IT'S A SHORT STORY, AND IN THE SHORT STORY HE FALLS IN A PRAIRIE DOG HOLE INSTEAD OF CLOSE RANGE FIGHTING SOMEONE AND THAT FEELS LIKE THAT MAKES A MILLION BILLION TIMES MORE SENSE AS A TRAGIC ENDING. PS. I ALSO FEEL LIKE THE GOLD MINING ONE WASN'T GREAT STORY WISE BUT THERE ISN'T ENOUGH CRAZY OLD PROSPECTOR REPRESENTATION IN MEDIA ANYMORE SO HIM JUST SAYING "GOOD NIGHT MR POCKET" WON ME OVER.
