predator_badlands : 2025-10-11
So, this is a review of a new Predator movie by Dan Trachtenberg. Basically, it tries to humanize the Predator, which is kind of a weird move, but the action's decent and the visuals are nice enough to keep it from being a total waste.
magic_in_the_air : 2025-11-07
This is a story about a mall security guard who deals with a surge in thefts by well-dressed teens, only to find himself enchanted by a beautiful woman named Marcy, who turns out to be a manipulative force behind the thefts. As he tries to regain control and break her spell, he embarks on a chaotic adventure filled with magic, theft, and self-discovery, ultimately realizing the importance of his role in protecting the mall and himself.
imposition_booklet_problem : 2025-10-27
I've been writing some short stories about a mall cop in a mixed-up universe and decided to self-publish them in a compact, DIY booklet format. I figured out a convoluted algorithm for printing the pages in the right order, learned a bit about book imposition, and now I'm ready to make some chunky little copies.
the_spy_who_loved_me_ian_flemming : 2025-10-26
I read "The Spy Who Loved Me," and it's basically Ian Fleming trying to switch things up by telling the Bond story from the Bond girl's perspective, but it just ends up being more of the same old sexist nonsense. The plot's weak, there's no real villain, and Viv's character is just there to serve Bond's narrative, which makes me question why this was even published.
sofa_so_good_totorro : 2025-10-22
Totorro's new album, *Sofa So Good*, is a vibrant comeback after nine years, blending joyful math-rock with cinematic vibes. It's a fun ride with energetic tracks and some quieter moments, making it a solid addition to my playlist.
one_battle_after_another : 2025-10-05
This is a review of Paul Thomas Anderson's new film, which takes a broader approach than his usual style, mixing humor and tension while delivering captivating performances, particularly from DiCaprio and Penn. It's a satirical take on Hollywood and societal issues, and it somehow manages to be both a thrilling action flick and a laugh-out-loud comedy, all while poking fun at both conservatives and liberals.
taylor_swift_life_of_a_showgirl : 2025-10-03
So, Taylor Swift dropped her 12th album, and it's basically just more of the same content that her fans eat up, but the music itself is a mix of cringe lyrics and bland production. As a non-Swiftie, I'm left wondering why the hype is so massive when it feels more like a personal brand than actual music.
geese_getting_killed : 2025-09-29
This is a review of Geese's album *Getting Killed*, which dives into themes of personal struggle and rebellion through eclectic rock tracks. The music is expressive, and the narrator's journey from confusion to self-acceptance is both chaotic and engaging, earning it a solid 8.5.
write_club : 2025-09-28
I built a website called Write Club to gamify creative writing with daily prompts and voting, and I'm pretty satisfied with it. I learned a lot about Django, Docker, and the joys of dealing with bots.
tress_of_the_emerald_sea : 2025-09-24
This is a review of Brandon Sanderson's *Tress of The Emerald Sea*, which is pretty much what you'd expect from him: light on depth but cozy enough to enjoy. It's a quick read that feels like a practice run for his trademark style, complete with familiar magic systems and no real surprises.
projects : 2025-09-23
This is about my need for personal creative projects that aren't about making money, just for the sake of making stuff. I'm juggling a bunch of ideas, like writing a book or making a video game, and I'm using a Pokemon badge system to keep myself motivated.
paris_texas : 2025-09-19
This is a movie review for "Paris, Texas." It's a visually stunning film about a guy piecing together his life and family after trauma, and it's apparently a big deal for indie cinema.
critical_brain : 2025-09-20
This is a reflection on writing and the nature of creativity, emphasizing the balance between order and chaos in both writing and brain function. I was feeling inspired by Virginia Woolf's ability to capture beauty with simple words as it relates to recent neuroscience research.
reinstating_the_king : 2025-09-19
This is a wild story about a mall cop who gets roped into rescuing a kid named Ralph from a creepy fast-food play place, only to find himself in a bizarre battle against a youth-sucking clown and some old mascots. It's a messy mix of nostalgia, absurdity, and unexpected stakes, but at the end of the day, he just wants to trade for a toy.
more_testtinggg : 2025-09-17
It's just some random phrase about spaghetti. Not much to it, really.
the_wicker_man_2006 : 2025-09-18
This is a take on the 2006 remake of *The Wicker Man* with Nicolas Cage, where a cop gets lured to an island for a ritual sacrifice tied to bees and chaos versus order. Basically, it's a horror flick that's more insightful than you'd expect, blending themes of gender and sacrifice with a side of honey metaphors.
