Mockingjay, Part I

Guuggghhh

Depression porn, starring Sadness Everdeen; though I personally never felt depressed, because I don't really care about Katniss, because she's not a human being. I can't relate to her at all. In fact, Haymitch and Finnick may well be the only humans in this movie. So I just felt bored, and frustrated. There were maybe five minutes in the movie where Katniss was not the focal point, and those were the best minutes.

So...

Cool, Herc! I watched the doc last night and very much enjoyed it. I almost lost it at the pre-show voice exercises. "PED-O-PHI-LI-A IS AN OP-TION IF YOU HAVE THE GUMP-TION."

I'm a big Community fan and listen to Harmontown here and there, so before viewing I already felt like I knew Dan, in a way. I'm curious as to what people who are new to his world think of the film. I have a feeling that people unfamiliar with Harmon won't find it particularly compelling as far as documentaries go, but I could be wrong. The narrative felt kind of all over the place, but I didn't care because I knew what I was in for and, as you said, it's very watchable.

I can't say I'm in love with Dan Harmon. His ego and douchery get on my nerves sometimes, but his extreme honesty and wit make him a very captivating and challenging person to listen to. I'd definitely like to catch a live show if they were ever to come to my area.

Is it? Never seen My Name Is Earl.

Very scary news, really rocks your perspective. Prayers go to Mike and all you guys.

Don't worry Mike, I'll donate too.

I get the feeling that Jackson's personal edit wouldn't be that different.

Welp, I was nominated for the ice bucket challenge, and I hadn't done any video work in a long time, so I decided to try something weird. I really can't say that I captured the Fincher style, but it was sort of the idea behind it. Hey, I used a song from a Fincher movie, so that's something. All done in a day, of course, with zero regard for copyright law.

Nice, I'm digging it.

It's entrancing. I can't say I have one favorite movie, but if we're playing desert island, GWH would likely be on my list.

I liked it a lot. It pulled off that great Ratchet and Clank vibe.

I do see where Praxus and sellew are coming from. I had a lot of those same thoughts, but I was having enough fun that I could sort of ignore them. Probably not my favorite of the year, but I'll definitely appreciate this movie before I criticize it.

I just rewatched the original a few nights ago (never saw the Burton remake). I think they'll need to make some big changes in the next one in order for it to work for audiences today. In the original, Heston thought he was in a far off solar system the entire movie, even though there were humans and apes and English. That worked okay in 1968, but they can't get away with that nonsense these days at least without giving him a decent theory behind his thinking. I'm interested to see where they'll go with it.
