Wizard of Earthsea [book, audiobook]

 Wizard of Earthsea [book, audiobook]

I READ THIS BOOK WHEN I WAS LIKE 13 AND HATED IT, JUST *HATED* IT. BUT IT'S CLEARLY A BOOK I SHOULD LIKE BY AN AUTHOR I LOVE SO I DECIDED TO GIVE IT ANOTHER CHANCE TO AT LEAST UNDERSTAND WHAT RUBBED ME SO MUCH THE WRONG WAY.  I THINK A LOT OF IT WAS JUST NOT RELATING WELL TO THE TEEN CHARACTER AND HIS WRONG DECISIONS FRUSTRATING ME SINCE EVERYTHING HE DID SEEMED SO UNFORCED.  I THINK THE LARGER REASON WAS I REALLY HATED FANTASY BOOKS AT THE TIME AND LARGELY HATED READING THEM BECAUSE OF FANTASY NAMES AND THIS BOOK IS ABOUT NAMES SPECIFICALLY SO EVERYONE HAS 30 DIFFERENT STUPID FANTASY NAMES AND I THINK I HYPERBOLICALLY LATCHED ONTO THAT AS THIS BOOK BEING THE SPECIFIC EXAMPLE OF WHY I HATE FANTASY. READING THIS DECADES LATER IT'S NOT SO BAD AND I'LL PROBABLY CONTINUE THE SERIES. 

PS. THIS BOOK *DOES* HAVE GEB FROM GONT WHO IS FIGHTING A GEBBETH WHO IS ALSO NAMED GEB SO I CAN'T TOTALLY SAY I WAS WRONG ABOUT THE NAMES OF EVERYTHING BEING EXTREMELY ANNOYING.

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.
