Movie/Show Round UP

I haven't done one of these in awhile. As always, my thoughts are short and to the point. I don't go in depth. I'm not a professional reviewer, just my thoughts.

Under the cut there are reviews for Fly Me to the Moon, Inside/Out 2, Despicable Me 4, A Quiet Place: Day One, Dune Part 2, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, Bad Boys: Ride or Die, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, The Fall Guy, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Civil War, Madame Web, Argylle, Abigail and The Bikeriders. TV shows: Legend of Fei and Halloween Baking Championship.

Fly Me to the Moon: I saw this movie during a three show day at the theater. It was the middle movie and the biggest question mark. Turns out, the whole 'did they or didn't they' land on the moon theory was actually interesting. While I have zero interest in a rewatch, definitely worth attempting for first time viewers.

Inside/Out 2: This movie was exactly the same as the first. There's nothing new here except for possibly children experiencing new emotions. As an adult, I was bored.

Despicable Me 4: Cute. This film added nothing.

A Quiet Place: Day One: I thought it was nicely done. Still, didn't knock my socks off like the first one. My spouse wanted to know exactly how people learned to be quiet. I tried to tell him that they showed it in the second movie. He wanted more of a show. He was also annoyed that we know nothing about the aliens and it's the third movie. Slight spoiler, I wish we didn't know something about a certain character because it would've made the ending decision so much more impactful.

Dune: Part 2: Well, he tried to warn them about what would happen. I like the action that happens even though it all folds into a pretty box.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire: I barely remember this movie. It was sort of reminiscent of the previous one. A typical unite to defeat the super evil blah blah blah.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes: Disturbing T!k T0ks regarding the leads aside, this movie was enjoyable. Although, I had no idea a new movie series was starting. There were quite the few holes left so I'd see the second one.

Bad Boys: Ride or Die: I saw this before the previous one so I was quite confused in certain parts. All in all it was enjoyable. There are some funny moments. I've had the urge to watch again.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire: I haven't seen this in awhile. From what I remember there's a side character hero in here that's pretty funny. Pretty textbook, you know what's going to happen before it does.

The Fall Guy: I've heard people talking about this one and disliking it. I thought the whole purpose was to have an outrageous fun movie showing crazy stunts the doubles do. Is it the best movie? No, but if you like action it's worth a watch.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga: I'm an action girl. I highly valued the first Mad Max. This movie is obviously character based therefore slower to catch the stages of development (it's even told in chapters). I was bored. All the story shows in the normal character faced adversity, lived a hard life, finally goes for their revenge. Zero interest in a rewatch. I'll turn on the first one again.

Civil War: A weird movie full of numerous holes. A waste of my time.

Madame Web: I thought it was okay even though this movie was review bombed. There's nothing special about it, but it's not the worst movie that people complained about. Then again, to each their own.

Argylle: Another movie that was review bombed. I also guessed the likely story in this one. I think this movie suffers mostly from trying to be too many things. It goes for serious, yet wild and fun, yet logical. I think if the movie with the effects stayed 'out there' then people would've found it more enjoyable. Maybe.

Sidenote: My husband is always surprised that me (comedy hater) loves Rat Race and Joe Dirt. My response is always the same. Both movies are unapologetically insane. They don't take themselves seriously at all. I think Argylle should've done this as they had moments before deciding to become a serious spy movie.

The Bikeriders: First of all there's a narrator to this movie. Threw me off a bit at first, I normally don't watch those type of movies because i feel it leaves off clues. The movie's okay. Practically a drama in a bikerider setting. There isn't much mystery so another one that's easy to read.

Abigail: I enjoyed this movie until the ending. Not much I can say without spoiling.

Legend of Fei: I finally finished this show. Took me forever as it has good episodes, and others I cared less for (admittedly skipped scenes). Some characters were so annoying. Thankfully, Fei stopped passing out which was killing me. Xie Yun is my absolute fave. I might be biased, but all his scenes were so much fun except for the ones where he's sick :( . I've read reviews where people say they can watch this repeatedly, I'm not one of them. One and done. Sort of reminded me of WoH main storyline.

Sidenote: I love the one scene where he's reminiscing the past in his dreams and he no longer has money. The way this man kept opening up his pouch and dumping it over to make sure there were no coins. So relatable in my younger days.

Halloween Baking Championship: An era has come to an end or at least caught up in the seasons. I really like this cooking show. I hope people have some out of the box creations in the new year coming up.

Dont do that

“I can afford to be immature. I can wake up and say, ‘What do I wanna’ do today?’ Imma’ make a t-shirt with flames on it…ooo I want a matching go kart. I can go spend my money and do that because I worked hard enough to go do that.” -Tyler

[bumblequinn]

on a more personal note: death grips were and are a pretty major source of inspiration for my own music. not in the sense of "i like this sound so i'm going to ape it," but in the sense of "oh i can get this weird with it if i really want to."

a decent chunk of the music in SLARPG would have been a lot more restrained and self-conscious if it weren't all the death gripses out there. sophie, knower, joanna wang, wednesday campanella, KKB, lemon demon... these artists and countless others helped to show me that it's okay and even extremely cool to get weird with it.

i'm reminded of this comment on one of my tracks in particular:

and look, part of me thinks this is more or less harmless, right? i even pinned it, because it made me chuckle. it's all in good fun! (seriously, don't go causing any trouble over a comment like this. i do not condone that kind of harassment.)

and yet - if i stop to think about it a second longer, i start to ask: what is this kind of joke really saying? "this sucks." "turn that shit off." and... i dunno, that feels bad, you know? i was bouncing in my seat grooving to that track when i was making it. i like what i made. that's why i made it.

every time i make music, i'm making something i want to hear but that doesn't exist yet. i'm incredibly, stupidly lucky that i get to do that, and that other people connect with it. but when the end result of that effort is a "joke" like "this is so weird omg, put something normal on," well...

even as a joke that's enough to make me second guess myself the next time i make music. it's enough to make me change the preview track for the album to something a bit tamer so i don't "scare off" first-time listeners. that feels like capitulating, and capitulating is the opposite of authentic self expression.

i have much, much weirder, more difficult and challenging ideas that i have yet to explore and put out there because i already feel like enough of a pariah just as a trans woman in the world.

i'd like to find the inner courage and esteem to create that art without softening its edges, trying to appease, or apologizing for myself. i think i'll get there. i'm already closer than i used to be. but seeing more people respect weird art, rather than quip about about its strangeness, would be a start. a girl can dream.

Feynman's Sprinkler Solved

In graduate school, my advisor introduced us to a particularly vexing fluid dynamical thought experiment known as the Feynman sprinkler. After observing an S-shaped sprinkler that rotated when water shot out its arms, physicist Richard Feynman wondered what would happen if the device were placed in a tank of water with the flow reversed. If the sprinkler was sucking in water, would it rotate and, if so, in what direction? (Image and research credit: K. Wang et al.; via APS Physics) Read the full article

i-N conversation: A$AP Rocky, march 1, 2012

living by the self-penned mantra “always strive and prosper”, or “always stackin’ and paper-chasin’”, or perhaps “accumulate status and power” rocky, along with his harlem-based crew, is busy carving his own one-of-a-kind niche in the rap game. after dropping the free to download mixtape LiveLoveA$AP late last year as well as releasing his co-directed music videos for hits ‘purple swag‘,’ peso‘ and most recently ‘wassup‘, rocky officially has the internet going nuts. In an age where it can be all about the music video, he’s got all the boxes ticked: a dope ass green-haired chick by his side, gold teeth by the ton, and lots of yohji yamamoto x adidas cameos. 10 million plus views on youtube don’t lie. ending 2011 off right, A$AP Rocky signed a 7-figure record deal which will allow him the freedom to further explore various personal creative projects. quite the charmer, i-D online had a quick chat with the rapper during a recent visit to toronto.

iD: you kind of just came on the scene out of nowhere and immediately generated a lot of buzz, what do you think caught peoples’ attention? 

AP: i’m this dude from new york talking about this high fashion lifestyle stuff, ignorant stuff and positive stuff all at the same time. it’s just leaving people confused. i like to leave people in a state of mind where they don’t even know what’s going on.  people think I’m illuminati or a devil worshiper because of the ‘wassup‘ video.  people don’t even get the message. so it’s cool. i like people to just wonder, that’s my thing.

iD: who are your five favourite designers right now… 

AP: this guy right here (points at his jacket) raf simons, of course rick owens, jeremy scott, alexander wang and i want to say ksubi.

The 30M Download Campaign has finally come, and Oberon is the representative for it. (Really? A third Avalon Servant? 😒)

Here's the rundown, besides the usual rewards:

A x3 Super/Great Success when leveling up Servants, all Dailies are open and their AP costs 1/3.

Some more event CEs have been made available in Da Vinci's shop, along with some more event Command Codes.

The amount of Pure Prisms are doubled from completing Part 1, Part 1.5/EoR, Part 2, and OC.

Along with that, there's a way to refill PP stock, with a special kind of ticket (right now it's only restricted to three, so choose wisely).

Two more Mystic Codes (Anniversary Blonde and Sōya High School Uniform) will be free to get after clearing the LB prologue* (currently unsure if it is the LB prologue).

Three more CEs, those featuring Kayneth, Sola-Ui, and Kirei. Their effects respectively are: self invincibility for 3 times and buff removal resistance by 10%/20%, gain 4%/5% NP per turn, Quick, Arts, and NP gain by 3%/5%, and self star weight up by 100%/200%, Quick, Arts, and Buster up by 8%/10%. (Color coordinated for easier reading)

The next free SSR ticket is here as well, this time including the story-locked SSRs. The permanent ones included this time are: Dioscuri, Tametomo, Vritra, Odysseus, Taigong Wang, Nemo, Kashin Koji, Galatea, and Nitocris Alter. If you were expecting Bhima or Marie Alter, sorry but the cut off is Koji.

The requirements to permanently add them is leveling up your chosen pick to level 60 and bring them up to Bond 5.

Also, Oberon gets his own CC.
