So I actually saw a new movie this week, and it was none other than mech kino. I'm not sure how to talk about this move without sounding like an r-slur but I think it was actually pretty good
First of all, even though the movie is 3D animated and not a Michael Bay blockbuster, it's still visually appealing. It's one of those few movies coming out these days that doesn't feel like it was made that way because the animation was cheaper. The 3D animation here is solid, on par with How To Train Your Dragon or the greatest Pixar hits in regards to how they compared to their contemporaries. Tron lines really glow. Metallic surfaces look reflective and lustrous. Scenes of the environment have an actual sense of scale and perspective. There's plenty of action too and the movie gets away with a lot on the grounds that the characters are robots and it's okay for them to lose limbs and explode.
It's not as "kiddy" as I was afraid of and the story takes itself seriously. Could be pretty funny too. At the risk of darnation by faint praise, it's the best written of the Transformers films and actually focuses on the characters. Plus there's not a single squishy human in sight.
In the manner of its production history, it reminds me of Shrek. Apparently Shrek was in production heck for many years and being sent to work on it was a corporate punishment. But eventually the movie was staffed with enough people who cared to come out not only great, but intentionally different from other animated movies of the time.
TF One was also in production for a long time and it's kind of niche so I'm surprised it got made. It was a good fan movie though, made by people who really cared about their product. People who weren't just using an IP to shove in their own half-baked screenplay and social commentary
Anyway, good movie Good robot action

I rewatched Dark Harbour with Alan Rickman. It's a nice thriller that relies on the actors, not exceptionally good but interesting. I think this site would appreciate the plot twist too

I watched All Hallows Eve last night.
It's a few short stories from the guy who made terrifier before anything he did was famous.
It was pretty good, really had the mid 2000's vibe and was still shocking enough for a terrifier Film.
Art the clown especially hates women in this one, the director is absolutely a chud.

I watched Kaos (so you don't have to). I'm not going to go into detail on how shit this show was. Just going to share the only moment that made me laugh.
They changed Caeneus's story. He was no longer changed into a man after getting railed by Posidon. He was an FtM amazon

I'm not denying it doesn't happen, but to assume all people who wear mascot costumes, or are furries, smoke crack and frick all day in costume is a massive fallacy.

The first episode of penguin was dope. I'm optimistic.
My girl put on that menendez brothers miniseries. The fifth episode was a forty minute monologue by one of the brothers graphically describing how he was molested. Everyone is saying it's the greatest television ever, but it was the cringiest shit I've ever seen and you can feel how contrived it was.
And I know the director was sitting there with a hard on while filming and most likely jerks off to that scene all the time. I looked up the director and sure enough, he's gay. I turned that shit off and told her she can finish the series on her own.
