To try and make up for how often I've left reviews either unfinished or unwritten lately, this year's #NewYearsEve listicle also promotes some Asian- or Latin-led movies released last year. www.manic-expression.com/2025/12/05/r...

He should just stop.
Not just Disneycember, just stop in general.

I'd like to point out that Doug Walker chose to end this year's "Disneycember" with three movies that were neither produced nor owned by Disney.
One of them has CHARACTERS currently owned by Disney, but that's it.
I think Doug might be straight-up losing his mind.

I wrote four times as many blog posts as in '24, including a review for a movie that doesn't exist in our timeline.
Quote this with what you have accomplished in 2025, no matter how big or small
Reading & writing has kept me alive this year.
Somehow, it’s been my most productive year as an author.
Here’s a guide to what I’ve published in 2025, in case you’ve lost track.

This week I replayed two Charles Dickens-based dramedies in which the characters don't look like how one typically imagines Dickensian creations, but the period and heart still feel true to his writings.

Unironically agree, I mean we’ve been calling those mfers “anti-choice” for years now anyway
The way anti-vaxxers and conservatives have carelessly thrown away children’s lives has unironically made me feel we should reclaim the “pro-life” label and start yelling at these people for killing kids

Last night's viewing of #TheWizLive often made me want to cry; usually for the creatives' intended reasons, but also because of the same Obama-era optimism that people say dated "Hamilton".

"If you combine both #Wicked movies, #TheWizLive remains the best screen-based, Oz-themed musical with a black female lead."
"Isn't it fascinating that we have enough (at least 4) to choose a best?"
"Only if you don't mind putting TV specials & movies on equal footing."

Good job, guys. See if you can't make similar results happen for No Game, No Life and Vinland Saga.
Getting close to time to start asking for the same kind of fervor for AI generated closed captions as well. You can fight this, it CAN work.

Sometimes I need to remind myself that William Asher directing both #ILoveLucy and #Bewitched doesn't necessarily mean that Lucille Ball and Elizabeth Montgomery met backstage on either show, considering Montgomery didn't marry Asher until after "The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour" ended.

![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:

Our takeaway from election night: Hate was not a winning strategy.
Throughout the election cycle, Trump and his allies terrorized our cities, disappeared our immigrant neighbors, and fueled racism and xenophobia. Meanwhile, candidates like Andrew Cuomo weaponized Islamophobia for political gain.
