#This movie is really good

[justkeepwalkingnothinghere]

Hey. Hey you. You wanna hear about one of my childhood favorite movies that isn’t a masterpiece but is still really good? No? Well too bad! You’re gonna hear me ramble on about it anyway!

Go. Go watch this.

I present to you: An icon from my childhood, since I was 5 years old.

It’s got everything! Action! Adventure! Betrayal! Romance! Secret evil schemes! Musical numbers set to famous classical pieces with cheesy lyrics, and Rob Paulsen as a singing turtle!

It may be a cheesy straight to video Disney movie from the early two thousands, but I don’t care! This movie is really really good! Solid plot, lots of cliches (inevitable), and gets surprisingly dark by the end.

It ain’t for everyone, but give it a shot!

Look, all I’m trying to say is this is still I favorite of mine, I love it a lot, I’m obsessed with it as of late, and I’m doing all I can to make more people aware of its existence.

We good? Good! Now go, it’s on Disney+.

Biggest twist in climax (2018) is that the girl who was set on fire is still alive at the end?!? I thought she was toast

Happy 16th anniversary TMNT 2007 movie!!

This movie helped me get into TMNT at a young age (even though I could not fully do anything with TMNT franchise until about 7 years later, 2014, but eh whatever.)

If you have not seen this movie I recommend it! It is a really good TMNT movie, so for all you turtle fans it is a perfect day to watch this movie!

The thing I really like about the Rocky/Creed franchise is that they play really well into the myth of the hero in a hyper masculine sense that doesnt play into patriarchy. Like they're ultimately narratives about regular people pushing themselves to their limits and succeeding despite everything. Moreover it uses violence that these men commit in a very positive way, for the most part the films don't show the ultimate opponent as malicious or personal in their drive to fight rather it's an expression of pure force of will and enduring through the hard parts of life rather than flexing their power.

Furthermore one of my favourite scenes in the original is right before the big fight Rocky curls up in a bed with Adrian wracked with self doubt and fear while she gives him a pep talk, it's a really good example of positive masculinity because he's not afraid to be weak, not afraid to be emotionally open, that ultimately the two things Rocky is an expert on is boxing and love and he's not diminished by the narrative for being emotional.

It really does rouse the soul and make an arguement for the endurance of the humans spirit.

this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.

good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.

sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.

so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.

one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.

IT WAS ERIC AFTER ALL!!!! I'm so glad we got to meet him (before Vil snaps him away with those Infinity Gauntlets) (can't wait to see what happens when we get the matching Infinity Tiara to go with them, there will be no survivors)

(sorry to be so slow/rough lately, just got a lot of stuff on the ol' brain at the moment! alas, if only I could spend all my time drawing incredibly stupid characters I mean I do but)
