You don’t have to take my word for it that Christian Nationaism isn’t real Christianity and that it gives the religion a bad and shameful name. I’m sure you’ll listen to what the creator of VeggieTales has to say about why people who practice CN don’t belong in the church.

It's already bad enough that they got Jared Leto starring in the feature, whose presence alone will be a big reason to the film's failure at the box office, but the addition of teaming up with Twitter and its AI garbage should have Ares to get more backlash than they did for the Snow White remake.

At the Tron: Ares premiere, Disney partnered with the self-proclaimed MechaHitler to promote the picture...I'm sorry if this sounds mean of me, but this movie deserves to be burned to the ground because whatever Disney lost during the Jimmy Kimmel controversy, it's not enough.

While I haven’t read it myself, I do know that there literally is a book by Matthew Hahn all about the obsession that cartoons have with Peter Lorre.

I liked when James Baxter used to do occasional guest spots on animated TV shows. I assume studios had a bat signal for him, except instead of a static bat it was a horse running in perspective towards the camera while the camera rotated around it

Does that mean James Baxter had to animate his own signal? I mean, who else could make that so effortlessly? XD

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Thank you everyone for the well wishes for my birthday yesterday. I had a nice time and the love you sent played a big part in making it all the better :)

On top of today being my Birthday, it's also been 20 years since the release of Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. Sure it's more of a coincidence, but I feel honored to share the same anniversary as this masterpiece. And since we're in Halloween season, it's a great time to watch it!

Today's my Birthday, and now I'm officially part of Club 33...in terms of age. I don't mean that I joined Disneyland's Club 33, even though that would be amazing.

Gosh, I’m not on his good side? What ever shall I do? Considering how he can be, I think I must be doing good if he doesn’t like me.

I won’t say who specifically it is, but it’s not him. I’ve been quite lucky to not be in his crosshairs (that I know of). This is actually how they explained their Patreon request to me.

I know that I'm not perfect as a video creator, bu I'm pretty confident that not being an absolute Nostalgia Critic clone and spending too much time talking about movies that I think are good and that I enjoy are not among my problems.

And what's more, they also told me that me not regularly reviewing live-action movies is a missed opportunity to review more bad movies more frequently...I'm honestly as confused as you are with this logic.

Someone sent me a message saying that, in order for me to gain my reputation, I need to...review more bad movies?

After beating Sonic Adventure 2: Battle and seeing this In Memoriam picture of Shadow after the credits, I'll admit that felt this rare kind of satisfaction, like I've finally completed something that I never knew I needed to be accomplished for a very long time.

A screenshot of Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, showing the Earth in a pinkish or Bi-colored glow. And in front of the Earth is Shadow the Hedgehog crossing his arms. This is scene after beating the story mode of the game, meant to be presented as an In Memoriam picture to honor the fallen hero who saved the world from a dinosaur attached to a giant satellite.
