Well, I mean, prior to that one only The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable were generally considered to be good, and only Signs and The Village were considered by anybody to be good (I like the former quite a bit and detest the latter). Lady In The Water, The Happening, The Last Airbender, Devil, and After Earth are all…

For the record, he's kinda great in Jimmy Neutron. He's so hammy that he manages to get his voice to break at least once per word.

Finished showing my dad season two of Steven Universe last night. I'm glad he bought Peridot's conversion; a lot of people at the time felt that it was a little rushed, but I always liked it. She had been receiving a kind of personal validation she had almost certainly never gotten from Gem society for a while, and…

That was almost certainly not fake. Netlfix's statement was carefully worded to avoid explicitly denying that they had anything to do with it, and its production value was ludicrous for a fan-made thing. It's a typical Snicketesque marketing tactic.

Not much for recording, as I'm no technical wizard, but I've had one standard piece of advice for writing for a while now: listen to as much music as possible. All day, every day, every free minute. All types and genres, but especially whatever it is you like to make. It's necessary to absorb the structures and…

My man!

Something something "Recorded as many good full length albums" something. Eh, I'm not in a self-deprecating mood. I'll come back tomorrow and make a proper joke at my own expense.

You're awesome, SG!

Oh, absolutely the former. To the point where I was a bit disappointed when production news was starting to come out and Bryan Fuller's name was nowhere in sight. It would have been a match made in heaven.

Alrightty, I don't like using this place to hock my own shit, but I did just record a full-length album, which is something I've dreamed of doing since I was twelve, so I feel like I get a bit of a pass.

Ooh, maybe I shouldn't have said that. Oh well, I'm sure it will still make an impact when it comes; it'll probably wow me, and I've actually read the scene it'll be based on.

They bring tears to my immigrant eyes, of course.

They sound sort of like a really, really insufferable version of Citizen Radio. And Citizen Radio does not have a 100% smug-free stamp on it to begin with.

True enough; I think that's why this had to be done as a Netflix series. It would very tiresome to have almost the exact same cliffhanger four times, if the show had seemed to think that it would be legitimately keeping you in suspense for a week, rather than the four seconds before the next episode starts. Also, as…

It was my avatar on a few other sites beforehand. I've been a big fan of Magritte since I was twelve.

I guess officially still Cowboy Bebop. I only really started watching more over the past few months; of those I probably loved Wolf's Rain the best, although Evangelion and Baccano! are hot contenders. I've still watched so little though, so my ten favorite animes are probably shows I haven't even started yet.

I also think the question is a lot easier for anybody who isn't a straight white male Christian; I'm a member of pretty much the only demographic for whom receiving bodily harm just for existing in my country during any time period before the sixties isn't a guarantee.

I don't think I would live any time before the present, given the choice. There's a lot of culture, technology, and societal advancements that I wouldn't want to miss out on, and I really do believe that the tide of history tends towards freedom and equality, in a general sort of way and not discounting certain…

That one.

I remember that. I had slightly more trouble taking you seriously during that period; I read all of your comments with that soft-spoken, vaguely clueless inflection of his.
