A ★★★★ review of Hercules (1997)

First movie i watched in this list that I enjoyed as much as I respected it. The colors in the animation are beautiful. The songs are really catchy. And Hades (James Woods aside) is one of the funnies...

A ★★★★ review of Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025)

Took my niece and nephews to see this. They had a great time, and so did I. This just a really fun movie. Made me jump a few times, made laugh other times. I recommend this one.

A ★★★★★ review of Home Alone (1990)

This is my favorite Christmas movie. I watch it every year, preferably Christmas night. It ends the holiday on a perfect note for me. Happy holidays.

My sister got me this Sonic Chia Pet. While this is cool of my sis. Sonic's head is a really annoying shape to spread seeds on. Lol

A ★★★★ review of Miracle on 34th Street (1994)

Haven't seen the original in a while, so i cant compare this to that. But on its own, this is very cute. Richard Attenborough as Kris is especially great. He's so whimsical, I started believing in San...

A ★★½ review of Frosty the Snowman (1969)

Doesn't hold up from childhood well, unfortunately. I like the magician. Thats about it. Also the kid who's voice gets really deep when suggesting names.

A ★★★ review of Mickey's Christmas Carol (1983)

This was my introduction to a christmas carol. And its still a decent one. Im impressed they got most of the heart into a half hour special. Admittedly, I do kind of wish it was longer, as its pace is...

A ★★★★ review of A Christmas Carol (2009)

One of my favorite versions of the Dickens classic. The animation holds up surprisingly well. And I can never say no to Jim Carrey.

A ★★★ review of The Sword in the Stone (1963)

This really feels like a movie the teacher would put on near the end of the school year. In that context, this would be fun. Otherwise, this films okay... I like Merlin as a character, and its funny h...

Tumblr user nocryptographer:
I talked with someone who works in book publishing, and they mentioned they get a lot of AI slop these days. I asked how they know what's human-written, and they said that there's one thing that will reveal AI slop without error, and that's the author not knowing their own creation.
A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written.
AI slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence.
Someone who generates their story with AI will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same.
There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that.
I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it.
If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene...
then it's real.

Meh... the spaghetti scene is really good. Otherwise bland and weirdly racist.

I used to think this movie wasn't as good as the others. Turns out I was just wrong.
