 Scavenger's Reign [television] EVERYONE SAID THIS IS AMAZING, AND YEAH, IT'S TRUE. I FEEL LIKE THIS GENRE EXISTED A LOT IN THE 70S THEN WENT AWAY. I LEGITIMATELY LOVE HOW YOU CAN TELL THEY HAD SOME BIG DESIGN DOCUMENT SHOWING THAT GREY BUGS HAD SHELLS AND WERE MORE TRADITIONAL AND WHITE BUGS WERE MADE OF MEMBRANES AND WERE MORE ALIEN AND THEN OTHER CREATURES WERE JUST 'YEAH, THIS ONE JUST WORKS BY MAGIC' LIKE LEGITIMATELY THAT WORKED. PS. KAMEN IN MY MIND IS JUST RUSTY VENTURE. 

 Beetlejuice Beetlejuice [movie] I REALLY EXPECTED TO HATE THIS (IF ONLY BECAUSE IT'S NOT BEETLEJUICE GOES HAWAIIAN) BUT NAH, IT'S GOOD. THIS WILL SOUND SARCASTIC BUT I REALLY LIKE HOW DEDICATED TO MAKING THE EFFECTS LOOK BAD THEY WERE. IT FEELS LIKE THE REAL MEMORAL PART OF THE ORIGINAL LOOK IS HAVING VERY GOOD ART DIRECTION ON NOT GREAT ACTUAL EFFECTS WORK. THIS DID OBVIOUS THINGS LIKE HAVING STOP MOTION RUNNING AT WAY TOO LOW FRAME RATES, BUT THERE IS ALSO SCEENS WHERE SOMETHING IS ON A GREEN SCREEN AND THE TRANSPARENCY IS ALL SCREWED UP OR THERE IS BIG MAT LINES AROUND THE ACTORS AND LIKE, YEAH! THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT BUT THEY CORRECTLY IDENTIFIED THAT IS WHAT A BEETLEJUICE EFFECT LOOKS LIKE.  PS. IS THE BEGINNING PART WITH THE FUSSY FRENCH ARTIST JUST AN ORIGIN STORY FOR JACQUE? IT IS RIGHT? THERE WAS NO OTHER REASON FOR THAT LITTLE SEQUENCE. 

 Lamb [movie] I DON'T KNOW, I REALLY EXPECTED TO LIKE THIS MOVIE AND I'M JUST NOT FEELING IT. IT HAD SOME EXTREMELY STRIKING MOMENTS TO MAKE A GOOD TRAILER BUT THE ACTUAL MOVIE JUST FELT LIKE SOME OTHER MOVIE THAT HAD BIG STEWART LITTLE HANGING OUT MOSTLY SLIGHTLY OFF CAMERA, THEMATICALLY IT BASICALLY NEVER FELT IMPORTANT LAMB WAS THERE. UNTIL THE VERY END, WHICH FELT LIKE SOME OTHER STORY STARTED 96 MINUTES INTO THE MOVIE. MEH? PS. I FEEL LIKE THEY DUBBED IN A LOT OF WET MOUTH NOISES ON THINGS. EVERY TIME THEY SHOWED THE CAT IT WAS JUST MAKING GOOPY NOISES WITH IT'S MOUTH 

 Death's Gambit: Afterlife [game] IT'S A GAME THEY RELEASED AND IT WAS SO BAD THEY RERELEASED IT WITH A NEW NAME THEN IT WAS GOOD AND IT IS GOOD, BUT IT'S A SOULSLIKE METROIDVANIA THAT ISN'T CALLED HOLLOWKNIGHT SO MY JUDGEMENT OF IT WAS ALWAYS LOWER THAN IT SHOULD BE.  PS. I PLAYED UP TOWARDS GETTING THE GOOD ENDING, BUT THEN GOT THE BAD ENDING BECAUSE I MADE A GIMMICK LIGHTNING BUILD THAT WAS VERY STRONG BUT VERY MISERABLE TO PLAY AND I JUST COULD NOT FACE FIGHTING ANY MORE BOSSES.
