Megalopolis [movie, amazing, garbage]

 Megalopolis [movie, amazing, garbage]

I CAN NOT EXPLAIN HOW SPECIFICALLY THIS MOVIE IS IF YOU GAVE NEIL BREEN 150 MILLION DOLLARS TO MAKE "THE POWER BROKER". LIKE EVERYTHING FROM THE PROTAGONIST BEING A GENIUS SAVIOR TO MANKIND THAT HAS SUPERPOWERS FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON TO THE MOVIE ENDING WITH HIM GIVING A NONSENSICAL SPEECH IN FRONT OF A GREEN SCREEN THEN EVERYONE CLAPPING AND EVERYONE KILLING THE BAD GUY AND THE BANK GIVING HIM ALL THE MONEY.  JUST EVEN SMALL THINGS LIKE NEWS REPORTS SAYING HOW EVIL SOMEONE IS OR LIKE, THE MAYOR'S PARADE THAT IS SHOT SUPER CLOSE SO IT'S ONLY 4 PEOPLE AND THE WHOLE CROWD IS BOOING, THE CRATER BEING LIKE TEN FEET ACROSS,  AND LOCATIONS BEING STILL PHOTOS OF THE OUTSIDE OF BUILDINGS WITH TEXT PHOTOSHOPPED ON TO TELL YOU WHAT THE PLACE IS. I MEAN, A GENIUS WORKING ON ARCHITECTURE BY RUBBING A PRISM ON AN ORB IN FRONT OF A WEIRD CGI POLYGON THAT IS SHOWING PHOTOS OF YOUR DEAD WIFE IS THE MOST NEIL BREEN THING IMAGINABLE. IF A DIRECTOR SELF PRODUCES A MOVIE DO THEY JUST AUTOMATICALLY MAKE THIS EXACT MOVIE?!?

PS.  THE PART WHERE HE TAKES DRUGS THEN THE VOICE OVER TALKS ABOUT TINY HOTDOGS.

Encanto [movie]

 Encanto [movie] I FEEL LIKE THIS WAS A GOOD MOVIE THAT WAS WAY TOO UNFOCUSED TO BE A GREAT MOVIE. LIKE THE WHOLE OPENING SONG WAS A JOKE THAT THEY WERE INTRODUCING TOO MANY CHARACTERS THEN IT FELT LIKE ALL THE ISSUES EVERYONE WAS HAVING WAS SUPER LIGHT BECAUSE THERE WAS TOO MANY CHARACTERS. LIKE THE WHOLE "I HATE MY SISTER/OH I'M SO MAD I MAD A CACTUS/ACTUALLY I'M HAPPY NOW" ARC IS LIKE A MINUTE OF SCREEN TIME FOR NO REASON.  PS. I FEEL LIKE REWRITING IT SO ANIMAL KID WAS HIDING UNDER THE BED MORE SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE GRANDMA WOULD HATE HIM IF HE DIDN'T HAVE A GOOD POWER WOULD HAVE MADE THE CONFLICT SEEM LESS PULLED OUT OF NO WHERE. LIKE A GRANDMA HAVING TOO HIGH EXPECTATIONS IS REASONABLE BUT IT'S NEVER REALLY ESTABLISHED AS A PROBLEM UNTIL IT'S A PROBLEM.

Magicats! [book]

 Magicats! [book] Space-Time for Springers : This is just "my cat is sad" but wacky. A kitten convinced it will grow up to be human.  The Game of Rat and Dragon : This is some real extreme nonsense 1970s sci-fi. Things from the dark eat you if you travel through warp space, but human brains are too slow to react to the millisecond attacks, so they have to make psychic entanglement with strong hunter cats. There is vague romantic undertones to this.  The Cat from Hell: Oh, it's that stephen king story.  It's that thing from the tales from the darkside movie. The one king doesn't know how cats or mouths work.  Out Of Place: I don't remember anything about this story and have just reskimmed it right now and still can't tell you anything about it.  Schrödinger's Cat: I absolutely love Ursula K Leguin, but oof, this book just didn't work. It has a strong feeling of a metaphor based on some not quite right 1970s pop understanding of physics. Maybe it'
