Proceed carefully. We still dont know who the organizers are. They seem to be active on reddit and discord.

Newsweek tried to reach out to them.

I watched the #Megan 2 teaser.

Umm. lil worried. I liked that movie for the message of techno-fedishism and tech reliance and hubris. As well as the relationship the of the aunt and the niece that developed. The dancing was amusing, within the context of the murder scene.

I ummm... *wasnt watching for the "dance party, murder queen" aspect.

Again, teaser. No real telling how the actual movie will be. But.. not hyped from this.

Scott's review of All the Ways to Go - BookWyrm

This was a good book. Very much written for kids. But still smart, and well made. If you can read it as your kid self, you can get much out of it. Or just learn where kids are now.

The characters are well done. Even some of the more ancillary ones. It does a good job of presenting annoying characters. Then humanizing them. It doesnt do this by...

Gorillaz presents: NOSTALGIAZ

Speaking of the Gorillaz, they announce the 25 anniversary of their first album. It will be an ongoing event called Nostalgiaz. The official website only says "25 piece capsule collection".

Not sure what that means, but more info comes Feb 25.

[#]Wolfman could have been better.

I like this take on a werewolf story. It's an interresting direction. And the movie is worth a view if you're interested in a new take.

Now, alot of this was not executed as well as it could be. Some better setups, more characterization, & a bit better edit. Acting needed help too. So much -just- a step away from very good.

Still scary. Still about something. Still new. Still worth a look. Allllmost there.

Making the Video That Made Gorillaz

The Clint Eastwood music video is a masterpiece. It was a HELL of a way to introduce Gorillaz. And *part of which was animated by a talented animator named Pete Candeland. And that doesnt get enough attention. Here, Animation Obsessive does an interview with him looking back on how it was made.

The 15 Best Animated Movies of 2024

I prob should list the Oscar noms for Animation, and will. But first, I came across this Discussing Film best-of list for animation in 2024 that I thought was quite complete. And has some great recommendations. I dont agree fully with all of them, didnt see all of them. But by and large, this is a stellar list.

Animation had a good 2024 at the cinema.

I watched #Suzume during my show day. A story about a girl must save her home from a mystical worm that will cause devastating earthquakes.

Gorgeous. Gorgeous movie. So much meticulous detail in every frame. This is a big reason to watch this movie in the first place.

But also watch it for the story. There is alot tht happens. With a well balanced pace. And it's worth following. So well told.

I dont know how to say it better. It is work a watch.

Scott's review of Inside Out : A Memoir - BookWyrm

Demi is very honest & generous. For a woman who has been hounded by tabloids, she gives alot of herself here. Even bad behavior on her part. Even moments some might consider embarrassing. And she tells it unflinchingly in the audiobook. I think she tries to explain rather than give excuse. She willingly accepts blame for the things she did.

She also offers the hope...

I live in Louisiana. And I just experienced 9 inches of snow. And I had the day off. And I have gone buck wild making snow ppl. These are the first I have ever made. I am so proud of my dudes.

I cant mention enough how rare snow is in my area. And this much snow is really rare. And most of the times it has snowed in the last 30 years, I couldnt play. But I reeaally got to today. And I had so much fun. I am so glad.

Super Cafe - I Have A Dog Now

Superman meets Batman at their usual cafe hang to discuss their current lives (on screen). Like Aquaman is Lobo now. Guy Gardner has a haircut. And Supes Has A Dog.

But Batman is his usual self. Dodging Alfred's texts, and predicting doom for the dog. Not joining in Justice League fun.
