Thanks! I've got a little bit of editing left to do, but I'll try to post it later today then.

Hey, I just finished writing about some shitty movie from the 90s. Would anyone actually care to read my thing if I posted it here? It's supposed to be the first entry in a series of posts, but I've only done the first one so far.

My mind rolled over the images of Crash Bandicoot and Five Years for a moment too long, and now it's stuck on the thought of Crash Bandicoot going crazy and hitting children. Help.

I agree on the visuals, certainly, and I even like the theme of alienation that he deals with so often; I guess I just don't like his scripts and how he handles themes. He has vocal supporters and decriers. I don't think there's one consensus opinion on him (not like there has to be, just that his canonicity is more…
