Does science text books count for atheists? In all seriousness, I haven't, and I do feel bad about not exploring other religions as much as I should. I do want to read the Quran and look up any holy text that exists on things like Hinduism, or for Buddhists, or those other Eastern religions.
Whenever I write reviews, I always keep in mind the thing about spoilers. If a trailer doesn't show a major plot point to a movie, I'm not going to spoiler it in a review because that's part of the fun. To go with that, as a general rule, I don't talk about anything in detail that is past the first act (usually the first 30 minutes of the movie). That's where you get the basic plot and characters shown and done with. Now, discussing spoilers is two sided. It's one person's job who saw the show to tell vague details as possible to what happened. Reactions are okay, as long as it doesn't go too much into detail. However, it is the job of the person who hasn't seen it to avoid it if it's really that important. If I didn't see the latest episode of Bates Motel, I'm not going to look it up on tumblr or twitter because I don't want to be spoiled. Being spoiled does such though. I remember when Captain America: Winter Soldier was first announced and I was listening to a film podcast that had a lot of comic book fans in it. They said who the Winter Soldier's identity was. When trailers came out, they made it clear that they wanted his identity to be a surprise. It kinda sucked because I wouldn't have known if I didn't listen to that one podcast on that certain day or seen certain fan art on tumblr. I would say that when it comes to adaptations, it's polite to not go in detail about what happened.
I'll have a truth as well.
You know what; I'm already dead anyway. The 90s aren't that great. All these people who are overly proud about growing up through that decade need to really get over it. Everyone who says "we got all the good stuff" aren't realizing that there was a bunch a crap in between all of that. We don't remember it because we always remember the best of each decade. Every generation has its good, but it also is loaded with a lot of crap. It's just no one chooses to remember the crap.
In all honesty, I can applaud it for style. I'll give some modern shows points for looking different. But if I had to be honest, Kill La Kill had great moments, but they weren't consistent. It's just an okay show. But I'm willing to bet the fans didn't even read a word of that. Might as well ride this out! Kill La Kill isn't the savior for anime guys! it didn't need a savior in the first place.
No, I said good animation come at me plums
Ehh, it seems okay. I read some comments of people saying "Yes, something to hold us until the next season of Log Horizon", to which I think "you don't really get the point of Log Horizon, do you?". I would more compare it to Problem Children Are Coming From Another World, Aren't They? which is a fun anime that doesn't require much though. Like I said, No Game No Life is very Madhouse: Amazing animation, but obnoxious fan service.
I know what you mean. It's a double edge sword. Watched the first episode of No Game No Life, going in knowing that it was done by Madhouse thinking "hey, at least it'll be well animated". Then five minutes in, they swoop in on eleven year-old stripped pantsu. I thought to myself "Oh right, this is a Madhouse anime".
http://kh-vids.net/threads/jayn-my-friend.145418/ Done!
Let me tell you a little bit about my friend @Jayn! She's someone who I had admired for a long time with all the work she put in. She ran RP Idol, does her own music channel, and tackled a whole bunch of music related things for the site! It helped bring a lot of us together, and the fact that she was able to do a lot of that was absolutely amazing. She's also an amazing friend as well! She was there for me when I was at an emotional low point, trying to help me whenever she can. When I was going into my surgery, I knew I could put my trust in her to keep everyone updated. She always knows the right things to say, and doesn't ask much in return. Jayn, you're are one of the best people I know! I only wish that I was a better friend. Thank you!
Yo man. Couldn't do the dare. Wasn't able to get home to watch it. Do you have any other dares?
Will do, but be warned that I haven't seen any of the episodes past episode 3 I think (the last episode I watched was with the Samuel L. Jackson cameo at the end. Been wanting to see it since Winter Soldier though. And it'll probably be through text. Do you think that something can be well written, but everything else about it (characters, plot, etc.) can ruin it?
I'll take a dare. Truth or dare below?
Why do you think I suggest eating what is described as a "party pizza" by yourself. Rude.
Whenever I spend a day home alone, I usually get myself one of those Tostinos party pizzas. They're relatively cheap and can last for a good amount of the day for yourself.
Enjoyed all of these. My pick is going to have to go to number 2 though. Many personal reasons related to the song, but I liked the arrangement of it and how it was sung fit with it.
What are five songs you want played at your funeral and why? Ohh, pretty flower! I find it as a very pretty flower, but not one that I necessarily connect with love, romance, and all that gushy stuff. I kind of see it as life, very pretty on the outside, but can quickly fall apart if not taken care of.
I'll take a truth Truth or dare below?
Usually, I feel very opposite. One thing I'm really good at is BSing an essay, especially if the subject doesn't interest me at all. Even if it's something that I'm totally interested in, I usually end up quickly doing something, send it in, and usually get a good grade. For example, I did a paper talking about the connections of Harry Potter with Christianity, making an argument that it's good for Christian kids to read it and blah blah blah. There was so much I wanted to put into it, but by the time I actually wrote it, I just put in some stuff that seemed to fit. I've learned to use that to my advantage though; spend a lot of my downtime researching, so I don't completely go in blind when I write it the night before.
Okay; finished the book earlier today. Everything I've said still stands. A very well written book, but I just can't get myself to like it. The characters had absolutely nothing to like about them at all, and the plot was pretty meh. My biggest complaint is that it didn't feel like these people were living with a terminal disease; it only popped up when it was convenient for the plot, but other than that, it didn't feel like they were "sick kids". It's not a book I would really recommend to anyone, and that's kind of depressing because the writing is good. It just feels like it navel gazes too much. Spoiler And the stuff at the Anne Frank House; both the kiss and Hazel talking about "Oh, Anne was like this, and I know this because blah blah blah" was really out of place, and really unrealistic when you think about it. And when she replied to that post on Gus's wall; that's just not right. Like hell no one would reply; she'd be flooded with messages saying that she's wrong, and she shouldn't be trying to start fights when all the guy was doing was mourning and paying respect. That leads to another problem with the book: they either shy away from consequences, or don't show them at all. Gus died because he chose to go on the trip. He shouldn't have taken the trip in the first place; the doctors should've stepped in and said he wasn't healthy enough to go, which would cancel the trip via the Genie Foundation. They don't make that point clear enough. And then with Hazel's comment, she doesn't get told anything at all for it, or any other time that she is rude to other people who are only trying to help.
