 Bad Biology [movie] TOO BORING TO TALK ABOUT PS. SEVEN CLITORISES, ~THAT I KNOW OF~

 The Marvels [movie] IT FEELS LIKE THEY TOOK A PIECE OF PAPER AND WROTE DOWN IDEAS THAT COULD BE IN A MOVIE THEN JUST FILMED THAT OUTLINE INSTEAD OF MAKING AN ACTUAL MOVIE. LIKE, THE POSITION FLIPPING STUFF WAS AN AWESOME IDEA AND I CAN IMAGINE HOW YOU'D MAKE AN AMAZING FIGHT SCENE OUT OF THAT, BUT THEY JUST KINDA NEVER DO? (ALSO THE WHOLE SETUP WITH THE BRACERS FEELS LIKE THE SWITCH SHOULD BE MARVEL, KAMALA THEN THE BAD GUY, IT FEELS SO SET UP FOR THAT AND THAT'D BE AN EVEN COOLER FIGHT) THEN THEY GO TO A PLANET WHERE EVERYONE CAN ONLY SING AND IMMEDIATELY GO "OH, THIS GUY DOESN'T SING" AND THEN NEVER SING AGAIN?   LIKE EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS FEELS IMMEDIATELY DROPPED. ALSO THE BAD GUY FEELS LIKE THE GOOD GUY IN THE STORY AND IT FEELS LUCKY THIS MOVIE CAME OUT JUST LONG ENOUGH AGO AND FAILED ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF PUBLIC CONSCIOUSNESS TO NOT BE 6 MONTHS OF CONSTANT ARTICLES ON IF MARVEL OR HAMMER LADY REPRESENTED PALESTINE OR ISRAEL MORE.  PS. CAT EGGS

 Prey [game] THIS IS A FIRST PERSON METROIDVANIA. THIS IS THE ONLY FIRST PERSON METROIDVANIA GAME I CAN THINK OF? EVEN THE FIRST PERSON METROID GAMES WEREN'T METROIDVANIA GAMES AS MUCH AS THIS WAS? WHY ISN'T THAT MORE OF A GENRE? THIS GAME WAS NEAT AND FUN.  PS. I NEVER PLAY 'CONTROLLER GAMES' ON THE PC, SO THE STEAMDECK IS MAKING ME PLAY ALL THE GAMES I GOT FOR FREE OVER THE YEARS FROM STUFF SO I'M GONNA RUN THROUGH THE HITS OF LIKE 6 YEARS AGO.

 Gory Details [book, audiobook] THIS BOOK IS AROUND 20 NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC BLOG POSTS EXPANDED OUT INTO BOOK FORM. ON TOPICS THAT ARE GROSS/TABOO/DARK/ETC. IT'S A NEAT BOOK. IT'S THE SORT OF TOPICS YOU HAVE SEEN A MILLION TIMES BUT YOU CAN TELL THE CENTRAL THESIS IS THAT BOOKS LIKE THIS USUALLY GO THE ANGLE OF BEING EITHER REAL DUMB AND MAKING IT A TOTAL JOKE OR FOR KIDS. THIS WASN'T ANY SORT OF PUBLISHED JOURNAL LEVEL SERIOUS OR ANYTHING BUT IT WAS NEAT EVERY STORY FELT ONE CLICK MORE INTO TAKING IT AS SERIOUS SCIENCE THAN MOST THINGS DO AND TALKING ABOUT HOW REAL ACTUAL SCIENCE GETS NOT DONE BECAUSE IT'S COUNTED AS GROSS OR BAD.  PS. THIS ONE DOES FIT 'NATURAL HISTORY' OKAY, BUT IF I'M STREACHING CATAGORIES LITERALLY EVERY TIME SHOULD I EVEN KEEP DOING THE LIBRARY THING?
