The Wishing Pool and Other Stories [book, audiobook]

 The Wishing Pool and Other Stories [book, audiobook]

THIS IS A BOOK OF SHORT STORIES BY ONE AUTHOR. IT'S WEIRD, BECAUSE I WAS PRETTY MEH ON IT EARLY ON. A LOT OF THE STORIES WERE HIT OR MISS WITH A COUPLE GOOD ONES AND A BUNCH OF MEH ONES, THEN LIKE HALF WAY THROUGH THEY STARTED ALL BEING PRETTY GOOD AND I LIKED THE LATER ONES. I REALLY LEGITIMATELY CAN NOT TELL IF THE LATER STORIES GOT BETTER, OR MORE MY TASTE, OR JUST IT REQUIRED GOING THROUGH ENOUGH OF THEM BEFORE THE STYLE CLICKED OR SOMETHING. 

PS. THE LAST FOUR WERE INTERESTING BECAUSE THEY WERE LIKE,  A SERIES OF STORIES THAT HAD ALMOST THE SAME SETTING BUT SEEMED UNCONNECTED, LIKE FOUR SEPARATE TAKES ON A CONCEPT INSTEAD OF FOUR STORIES SET IN A CONNECTED WORLD.

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.

Oddity [movie]

 Oddity [movie] MAYBE I JUST WATCHED THIS ON THE WRONG DAY OR SOMETHING? IT'S MY KIND OF MOVIE, IT'S SHOT BEAUTIFULLY, IT'S HIGHLY RATED, AND MOVIE STUFF I TEND TO AGREE WITH HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THIS AND I JUST DID NOT VIBE WITH IT. LIKE I COULD WATCH IT AND UNDERSTAND IT'S GOOD BUT JUST COULD NOT CARE ABOUT ANY OF IT.  PS. TOO FACEBLIND TO TELL TWO PEOPLE ARE THE SAME ACTRESS PLAYING TWINS.

Day of the Animals [movie, mst3k]

 Day of the Animals [movie, mst3k] THIS MOVIE RULES. IF YOU WANT TO WATCH A BAD MOVIE THIS IS A GREAT BAD MOVIE. IT'S LESLIE NELSON IN A 1977 MEDIUM BUDGET MOVIE WITH BASICALLY THE SAME PLOT AS BIRDEMIC BUT ALL ANIMALS. IT HAS A LOT OF EXTREMELY SILLY SCENES WHERE THEY THROW RATS AT A GUY OR A BIRD DIRECTS SOME PANTHERS TO ATTACK. ALSO SOMETHING FEELS EXTREMELY WRONG WITH THE DIALOG, LIKE EVERYONE USES THE WRONG WORD A LOT? A BEER AND A SIZE, BEAR SNAKE, HOTSHOT, IT'S REALLY WEIRD! PS. I THINK THEY ARE ACTUALLY HURTING THE ANIMALS IN SOME SCENES AND THAT MAKES IT A LOT WORSE.
