Parable of the Sower [book, audiobook]

 Parable of the Sower [book, audiobook] YEAH, I'M READING THIS FOR THE SAME REASONS EVERYONE IS. IT'S A BOOK FROM 1993 ABOUT THE FALL OF THE US FROM 2025-2028 AND IT'S BASICALLY SPOOPY SIMPSONS PREDICTED IT STUFF WHERE THE 'PREDICTIONS' ARE JUST NAMING THINGS THAT WERE HAPPENING AT THE TIME AND SAYING "WHAT IF THIS HAPPENED MORE?" WITH PRESIDENT DOND PROMISING TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN BY PRIVATIZING EVERYTHING. IT'S BARELY EVEN ABOUT THAT THOUGH, THEY NEVER EVEN MENTION HIM AGAIN AFTER THE FIRST FEW CHAPTERS.  PS. I FELT PRIMED TO BE REALLY ANNOYED BY THIS BOOK, IT HAS SOME REALLY ANNOYING CONCEPTS. PYRO, SHARING, EARTHSEED. BUT I FEEL LIKE THIS BOOK IS HONESTLY QUITE GOOD.  I FEEL LIKE PYRO ESPECIALLY FELT REALLY DUMB BUT HONESTLY WORKED BECAUSE THE BOOK DID THE WORK TO JUSTIFY THE FIRST TOWN SLOWLY DECAYING IN A REALISTIC WAY THEN HAD PYRO TO GO "GOT IT? THAT ALL HAPPENED AGAIN, BUT FAST THIS TIME OFF SCREEN" SO THE BOOK COULD TAKE PLACE...

Companion [movie]

 Companion [movie] THIS MOVIE IS FRUSTRATING. IT'S NOT REALLY BAD, BUT IT'S KINDA NOTHING. IT FEELS LIKE IT WAS WRITTEN TO BE A SMART SCI-FI THRILLER, THEN GOT BOUGHT TO BE A CHEAP GOREY HORROR COMEDY AND IT JUST ENDED UP BEING NEITHER REALLY WELL. LIKE THERE IS A COUPLE SCENES I'M MAD ABOUT, BUT MOSTLY THE ENDING PART WHERE HE DROPPED THE SORT OF QUIPPY FANTASTICAL RACISM TYPE BEING MEAN TO HER AND JUST LIKE, DID ACTUAL ABUSIVE THREATS THEN THAT JUST ENDED WITH HER DOING A QUIP AND SOME GORE. IT JUST SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SMARTER MOVIE OR A DUMBER MOVIE AND IT'D HAVE BEEN FINE! PS. I'M ALSO ANNOYED THE MOVIE KEPT THE 'TWIST' AS A TWIST FOR LIKE 25 MINUTES OR SOMETHING. IT'S NOT JUST THAT IT'S IN THE TRAILER, IT'S THAT IT'S THE CONCEPT OF WHAT THE MOVIE IS AND I CAN'T IMAGINE A CONTEXT SOMEONE WAS WATCHING THIS MOVIE AND DIDN'T ALREADY KNOW WHAT MOVIE THEY WERE WATCHING. LIKE, IS IT A TWIST SOLELY FOR PEOPLE THAT WATCH THIS ON AN AIRPLAN...

Ku-Kin-dza-dza [movie]

 Ku-Kin-dza-dza [movie] IS THIS A REPEAT REVIEW? NO! THAT WAS KIN-DZA-DZA, THIS IS KU-KIN-DZA-DZA AND THIS RULES SO MUCH. LIKE THIRTY YEARS AFTER THE ORIGINAL THEY REMADE IT AS A CARTOON AND IT'S SO GOOD. THEY ADDED A WEIRD LITTLE ROBOT, THEY MADE LIKE FIVE NEW WEIRD LITTLE SONGS (TUMBA WOMBA, CHI CHU), THEY MADE THE SEXY SPRING MOUTH GIRL AN OLD LADY BUT MADE THE CRIMINAL LADY A WEIRD TUBE BOOB GIANT AND MADE THE LITTLE PERSON RASPBERRY PANTIES GUY INTO A GUY WITH BOOB FACED LADIES. ALSO THEY COMMITTED BETTER TO THE POLICE MINDREADING AND ALL THE NEW ADDED POINTS WERE GREAT. ALSO THEY MADE ALL THE STRUCTURES LOOK LIKE MACHINARIUM. I LOVE THIS!   PS. IT'S WEIRD THEY MADE HIM REALLY A VIOLINIST AND AN UNCLE.

Kin-Dza-Dza! [movie]

 Kin-Dza-Dza! [movie] THIS RULES. IT'S A SOVIET SCI FI COMEDY FROM THE 80S.  IT'S TWO RUSSIANS TRANSPORTED BY ACCIDENT TO SOME SORT OF MAD MAX PLANET AND THEY JUST KIND OF BUMBLE AROUND A LOT AND NOT MUCH REALLY HAPPENS. BUT IT'S GREAT AND ALL THE SET AND TECHNOLOGY DESIGN RULES SO MUCH AND ALL THE MUSIC AND SOUND EFFECTS AND WEIRD ALIEN CULTURE STUFF IS PERFECT. PS. WATCHED WITH YOUTUBE AUTO TRANSLATE WHICH REALLY TURNED THINGS UP TO 11 WITH THE HIGHEST STATUS IN SOCIETY CHANGING FROM "MAGENTA PANTS" TO 'RASPBERRY PANTIES"

Star Trek: Section 31 [movie]

 Star Trek: Section 31 [movie] HONESTLY MY FIRST THOUGHT FROM HEARING ABOUT THIS MOVIE IS HOW RANCID IT IS TO MAKE A SECTION 31 MOVIE, SINCE THE WHOLE DS9 IDEA OF SECTION 31 WAS IT GOING "UMM ACTUALLY YOU NEED THESE TOUGH REAL MEN TO DO THE DIRTY WORK TO KEEP YOUR LIBERAL UTOPIA" AND SISKO KICKING THEM IN THE FACE AND SAYING "NO YOU DON'T" AND THE IDEA OF MAKING A SECTION 31 IS COOL FEELS REALLY AWFUL. BUT THIS MOVIE AVOIDS THAT BY BEING THE MOST "UMM, THAT HAPPENED" WRITING IMAGINABLE TO THE POINT IT COULDN'T HAVE ANY MESSAGE.  PS. I'M GLAD ALMOST EVERYONE DIED SO THEY CAN'T MAKE MORE OF THIS

Beau Is Afraid [movie]

 Beau Is Afraid [movie] THIS IS A MOVIE I PUT OFF WATCHING FOR A LONG TIME BECAUSE IT SEEMED SO MUCH LIKE A MOVIE I'D BE WAY HYPED ABOUT. IT'S TOTALLY FINE BUT I THINK BEING 3 HOURS REALLY RUINED IT. NOT JUST BEING GENERICALLY TOO LONG BUT IT REALLY FELT LIKE IT LET IT JUST MEANDER WAY TOO MUCH. LIKE THERE WAS SO MANY PARTS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO IMPACTFUL IF THEY DIDN'T FEEL THROWN ON A HEAP OF LIKE 30 DIFFERENT LITTLE SEGMENTS. MEH? PS. I DO FEEL LIKE THE ONE THING THAT MADE ME LIKE THE MOVIE BETTER WAS LOOKING UP REDDIT REVIEWS AND SOMEONE SAYING "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH ARI ASTER" AND THEN SOMEONE POINTING OUT THAT IS WHAT THE MOVIE WAS ULTIMATELY ABOUT, TURNING SOMEONE'S TRAUMATIZATION INTO BEING A PERSONAL PROBLEM WITH THEM. THAT WAS A REALLY PERCEPTIVE POST AND DID SOFTEN MY ORIGINALLY MORE NEGETIVE REVIEW.

Balatro [game]

 Balatro [game] I HAVE BEEN PLAYING THIS GAME ON AND OFF FOR WEEKS AND MONTHS, I AM SURE IT WILL BE THE GAME I KEEP ON MY PHONE FOR YEARS TO PLAY RANDOMLY WHEN I NEED TO WAIT OR SOMETHING SO I'LL DO THE REVIEW NOW. HERE IS THE REVIEW OF WINNER OF ALL GAMING AWARD BALATRO: BALATRO IS GOOD. PS. ON THE BOAT TO ANTARCTICA I TRIED SO HARD TO BE MORE SOCIAL THAN I NORMALLY WOULD BE, INSTEAD OF HIDING AWAY ALONE I TRIED TO SPEND ABSOLUTELY AS MUCH TIME AS POSSIBLE SITTING SOMEWHERE PUBLIC, LIKE THE LOUNGE OR THE BAR, BUT I'D END UP JUST AWKWARDLY SITTING THERE PLAYING BALATRO FOR HOURS INSTEAD OF INTERACTING WITH ANYONE. AT ONE POINT SOMEONE ACTUALLY DID COME OVER AND WAS LIKE "WHAT ARE YOU ALWAYS DOING HIDING IN THIS CORNER" AND I SAID "PLAYING POKER" AND THEY ASKED "ARE YOU ANY GOOD" AND I SAID "ABSOLUTELY NOT" AND THEY SAID 'OH' AND LEFT IMMEDIATELY. AND THAT IS ALSO MY REVIEW OF BALATRO.
