What’s Up Danger

Into the Spiderverse was good, you guys.

Into the Spiderverse was really, really good.

It’s been an hour since I got home and my feet are tapping to the beat of the soundtrack. Images from the movie play through my mind. The thought of the stinger sends me into hysterics. The sheer transcendent style of the movie still bows my mind and I am physically angry with myself for not taking a picture at the theater.

I don’t know what the long term impact of this movie will be, but if it doesn’t mark a fundamental shift in western animation then mistakes were made.

Jet Set Squid Kids

Sorry for the giant delay, school’s been pretty busy, I’ve been dealing with minor medical issues (Fucked up a knee), and I’ve generally had a hard time finding time for the blog. This post’s gonna be pretty short, and I’ve got half-done stuff on Zeta Gundam and Dragon Age Inquisition in the pipe, as well as most of a post on the less-than-stellar Two of Swords Part One by KJ Parker.

So the Splatoon Global Testfire started yesterday and I was one of those fortunate enough to participate. It was the first large-scale demo of the game, basically meant to stress-test the servers, and was relatively limited. It did, however, provide enough content to solidify my first impressions of the game.

And let me tell you, this thing is gold.

Please Look After This Bear

My dad read me Paddington books when I was young. Tales of a young bear in a strange land with a love for marmalade as he went through a series of basically harmless adventures. They were fun, adorable, and something I rather enjoyed in that age range they were meant for. When I heard there was going to be a movie I was…less than thrilled, especially because the trailers looked like the standard fare for Hollywood deciding to go ahead and slaughter another batch of precious childhood memories with a badly written silver screen adaptation.

I am wondrously happy to say that I was oh so very, very wrong. Paddington the movie is as adorable and fun as it was when I was about six, and it comes with pro-immigration and anti-colonial messages that are great to see on the big screen as well as a truly excellent sense of narrative economy.

Say it Aint So, Bernie!

So it turns out kicking off the blog on a Thursday night with an update due Friday, nothing written, and a plan that involves spending a couple days on major updates is a terrible idea. I apologize for the delay, and without further ado let’s get started.
