    then again it's still 5:18 PM so it could turn into a phenomenal day or an abysmal day the last 6 and a half hours

    Hoo boy I just slightly scratched someone's car at the pool, I want to get finding out how much it costs OVER WITH but I've been handling the situation calmly and stuck around to tell the person about the situation and exchange numbers
    I hope in Kirby and the Forgotten Land the cutesy mouse character ends up being a good guy like they claimed to be just because that would be more interesting than them being a twist villain at this point in the series

    Hey Will, what did you think of "Moana 2"? I just watched it a couple weekends ago, and it was surprisingly refreshing for a sequel; I think it was as good as or better than the first movie. Personally to me the latter.
    Hey Will, are you a "Terminator" fan? "Terminator: End Of War" is coming out in cinemas this summer and I think it'll be the last movie, because the franchise is over 40 years old now and the woman who plays Sarah Connor who showed up in "Dark Fate" is getting old and so is Arnold Schwarzennegger. I've seen all the Terminator movies up to this point and I plan to watch it but because of all the shootings lately (at least in the last year, although there's probably a lot happening now too), including some movie theater shootings I heard about, I'm too scared to go to the cinema right now and see ANYTHING, so I'm going to be watching it on Amazon Video or Paramount+ or something at home. It might be good or it might be "meh" or it might be crap but at least I get to see how everything ends and I'll at least be satisfied with that, which is how I felt after I watched the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Well anyway, do you plan to see it? I heard the fans thought "Dark Fate" really sucked but surely it can't get any worse than THAT, right? (Famous last words.) Well-nothing I don't think will ever be as bad as "Terminator 3" and "Terminator Salvation" and all that. I think the fact those were so bad is why the franchise really doesn't count those films as being "canon" anymore (which is why Sarah Connor showed up again in Dark Fate when she was supposed to be dead between Terminator 2 and 3). I kind of think they're bad, too, actually. I really hope End Of War won't end the franchise on a sour note for me like what happened with Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny. I'm not feeling very hopeful though given how people think a lot of the stuff Hollywood movie and TV has put out lately has been awful, at least last time I checked. That was a year ago, though.

    I'm honestly perfectly cool with getting long messages, and can even find them more interesting, but yeah one's gotta check if the sources they see are legitimate. To answer the question I was asked I don't plan to see anything new that Terminator comes up with as I am not currently into the series, although I have heard extremely good things about the first two movies. I'm happy other people like them a lot
    sigh things in February seem to be taking hits compared to one aspect in which they were good in 2024. i'm not saying what but am happy other people have it better in that aspect currently

    Hey Will Solace, you said something in that Student Six Hurt & Heal game you were playing about liking Galluss's sarcastic humor. I actually really like that about him too. He can be really funny sometimes and I'd say when he's acting like that he sounds like one of those "angsty teenager" stereotypes LOL. Also I think when he originally showed up in FIM, he WAS a teenager.
    Will Solace
    Will Solace
    Yes, I believe he was a teenager then, and it made sense to his character that he would put himself in a shell and use that humor considering
    he was abandoned and did not have a family
    and thus he wanted to not show vulnerability. I enjoy how the episodes show he has caring moments too instead of only making him mean-spirited.

    What if somehow both Sonic 3 and Mufasa: The Lion King manage to be good movies and liking one doesn't mean you have to constantly talk about how the other is terrible in order to not be disloyal to it. As someone who hasn't seen either movie

    I'm a big kid at heart and I always will be and I'll always love Disney, but seriously, I wish they'd stop making these awful live-action remakes because they ruin the magic of the original cartoons and clearly fans aren't liking them. I mean live-action Pinnochio did terribly for example. Personally for some reason I don't mind the live-action remakes (I don't know, maybe I'm just immune to cringe?) but most people aren't liking them-at all. I do admit that even though I liked the live-action Mulan movie, I was disappointed there was no singing in it like the original cartoon; all the music including the "My Reflection" song from the original was disappointedly just instrumental including the songs and I was really really let down by that. Come on, seriously, what's a Disney movie without singing? It's one of the things people love about them! Ugh....God.......also, live-action Pumbaa is SO ugly compared to his original animated cartoon depiction. Also one other thing I heard one thing one critic criticized about how the CGI was done was that the facial expressions weren't as expressive and memorable as they were in the original cartoons. I think I agree with that, even though I haven't seen the live-action ones.

    The one thing I'll give Mufasa: The Lion King is that it seems like at least it is trying to do something new in tackling a prequel story in the Lion King universe, but it just should blatantly have been animated instead of had the live-action look. I do have positive memories of seeing the Cinderella and Jungle Book remakes but I've heard that most people agree those are two of the only good or decent ones.
    Part of me is morbidly interested to see Surf's Up 2 Wavemania just because of how utterly Schaffrillas hates it to pieces. I know he'd say "it's not the type of movie that loops back to being interesting" but that wouldn't change that, I'm curious just how throughly abysmal the writing is, unfunny the jokes actually are, et cetera

    I'd only see Surf's Up 2 because I saw the original as a kid growing up and I'm a completionist when it comes to franchises I watch so I have to watch all of them no matter how bad they are LOL.
    When I saw all the posts about "Zhen" I was wondering if they were using the Kung Fu Panda character lol
    I like how a lot of politicians treat abortion as the single most important issue in the U.S. these days even over issues like political corruption or global warming. Meanwhile I'm just sitting here, never going to have kids including biologically so the issue will never have the slightest bearing on my personal life, one way or the other even a smidgen

    The Roe v. Wade repeal is an extremely important issue simply *because* it undermined over 50 years of legal precedent and protections and people have died precisely because it was repealed. The reason that it's focused on as much as it is (as opposed to something like the economy and environmental degradation) is simply because it's a frankly easy thing to fix for voters to digest: ensure everyone has ready access to abortion.

    By the way the equivalent of what you're saying is pretty similar to GOP talking points against protections for LGBTQ+ people: why should we focus on their rights and representation and diversity? Don't we have much more important things like the housing crisis? Only a small percent of the population is gay, I don't know who is personally gay, global warming is a much more pertinent issue to fix than ensuring LGBTQ+ people have safe working environments.

    I think it's valid to express deep concern why climate change, biodiversity loss, political corruption, and income inequality didn't figure in the national political discourse as often as abortion despite hurricanes having killed literally hundreds of people (disproportionately poorer communities which includes black neighborhoods) and causing billions in damage, the ongoing CO2 emissions that have been done little to stop, and the constant biodegradation that threatens all sorts of organisms, but on the other hand, I think the landscape is a give-and-take.

    Most voters don't rank climate change or political corruption or income equality OR abortion as their top issue unfortunately. "The economy" is. Despite this economy in the U.S. being one of the best in the world by most metrics and having recovered the best from COVID and inflation. While income inequality may be a component of the nebulous "the economy", in reality voters are more concerned about the price of groceries and gas than the fact billionaires are allowed to exist and coexist with the housing crisis; no one cared that heat waves killed homeless people but everyone perked up when eggs cost slightly more). And immigration is another top issue for voters despite its issues being massively overblown in reality and neither side really wanting to loosen draconian immigration restrictions to reduce the amount of undocumented immigrants as well as punishing businesses who exploit these workers for lower pay. Abortion tends to rank juuuust after those two though, because people losing rights is kinda fresh on their minds and it tells good, colorful stories of people losing access and dying terribly, and in a way that's entirely preventable. It's worth thinking deeply why those stories make national news and not the fact record heat waves, hurricanes, flooding have killed records amount of people.

    But evidently, due to the amount of staggeringly disappointing sit-outs this election (and with abortion winning down the ballot in several states somehow), voters are clearly not ready to have that conversation.

    It does bother me that Biden apparently did so much to fix the economy and people just

    Don't even give a shit

    You'd think that if economy was the issue they cared about the most it'd be the one they're most bothered to educate themselves in

    Hey Milo-I like Mulan 2 and Brother Bear 2 and don't think they were bad-but there IS one Disney animated film that came out in 2004 I never liked even as a kid when I rented it on DVD from Blockbuster one time-"Home On The Range". Oh my God..........have you heard of that one? It's so infamous. And it was also made back when Michael Eisner was in charge of Disney-yikes. I didn't really like anything about it, especially the garish art style.

    BTW I talked to MiracleDinner recently and she thought that Toy Story 4 was just "decent". I personally enjoyed it myself, but I do admit Woody leaving the rest of the toys to join Bo Peep-I don't know-felt kind of out of character for him. I probably would have liked the ending more if Bo Peep and that Polly Pocket police officer toy (whatever her name is; I forget) and the sheep and all that had joined the rest of the toys and gone home with them. It wasn't bad, but it could have been better. I enjoyed it anyway, but hey, again, that's just me. Despite my enjoyment of Toy Story 4, I remember being REALLY disappointed with "Lightyear". It was set in kind of an alternate universe and-I don't know-just really didn't because of that feel like a Toy Story-related movie. It was just...kind of weird. One of the things about the plot that really puzzled me was that Emperor Zurg wasn't actually a person-a villain-but this suit of armor floating around out in space aboard this spaceship that the villain of the movie somehow just found. What?! I don't know-"Lightyear" was just a really bizarre spin-off animated movie. It was just really really strange and honestly didn't feel at all like a Toy Story movie and THAT was my biggest disappointment with it. I mean I didn't like the fact that it didn't go with the original story and lore of Buzz Lightyear's character-well-the character the toy version of him was based off of. To be honest, if the story of the movie had stuck to the original lore and been faithful to that and set within that same universe, I think it would have done a lot better because it would have been what people were expecting. Like-we never once saw Star Command in the Buzz Lightyear movie-not even once! And what about Booster and Commander Nebula and XR the robot and Mira Nova from "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command" TV show? They were nowhere in the movie either. I would have liked to see them too. I loved that show growing up.

    I admit that with Brother Bear 2 it might have helped with it being my second least favorite Disney DTV sequel if it wasn't for that, while I don't dislike it, Brother Bear is my least favorite of the original Disney movies where I've seen their DTV sequels, that list being
    Aladdin, The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Cinderella, 101 Dalmatians, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Lilo and Stitch (only seen Lilo and Stitch 2: Stitch has a Glitch here but including this), The Emperor's New Groove, Bambi, Brother Bear
    and I also felt like Brother Bear 2 had some flaws that were present in the first movie, like the comedy not always being too good, for example I don't care for the moose in either movie.
    I like Indiana Jones but I'm not as massively into the series as some people are, I've only seen the first movie and Temple of Doom.

    I remember being decent with Toy Story 4, but don't remember it that well. I know some people on YouTube who want to closely analyze the movie really don't like it, and I remember being okay with Ralph Breaks The Internet when watching it without hearing criticisms, including liking it slightly more during rewatch, but thinking I should maybe rethink that when watching one video slamming it into the ground after both times I watched the movie.

    I just have mixed feelings on Lightyear; almost everyone agrees that it's the weakest of the movies Pixar's made in the 2020s and I agree too, but I remember originally mildly liking it when watching it six months ago and my mother liked it decently too, but yeah, when rethinking it I wouldn't go as far as to call it good. Some things it did I actually did like as I thought the beginning where Buzz keeps trying to steer the ship to change the timeline and how time progresses was really cool and well-written, and I thought it did an okay job making the alternate timeline feel bleak. I also liked Sox and that the movie had a bit of heart. That said the elements people criticize such as it not feeling like much of a Buzz Lightyear movie, that some of the side characters aren't funny (especially that Mo character) and that Zurg is a serious villain when he should be hammy plus that he's not Buzz's father like Toy Story 2 said are all problems. One other flaw that annoyed me was at the end where Buzz refuses to have trained soldiers help him in his defense force and instead chooses to keep ONLY his team. Despite that his team spent the whole movie mostly sucking badly, so that seems like just a selfish decision that could endanger everyone.

    I saw "Bambi II" was on that list. Bambi II-I liked it, but yeah vastly inferior to the original cartoon. Aladdin The Return of Jafar, personally I thought was really good, but that's just me. I liked both the Aladdin sequels. The live-action Aladdin, I haven't seen it yet, so don't have an opinion on it, but generally people aren't liking the live-action remakes because by making them realistic it kind of ruins the magic-people like the original animated versions more-too bad Disney still isn't getting that. Given that, people probably thought it was bad. But me-I don't have an opinion on it because I haven't seen it. By the way I really like Lion King II and most fans seem to agree with me that it's good. Lion Guard TV series is set betwen Lion King I and II and I've heard it's really good and I'm going to give it a try sometime. Lion King 1 1/2-I don't know whether it's "good" or not but it's at least really really funny and I liked that a lot, plus seeing the backstory behind how Timon and Pumbaa became friends and met and raised Simba.

    I like how the Flynn Rider unpopular opinion/swords meme makes it look like he's consistently standing his ground despite others intimidating him, when in the actual movie he's just in the split second of not having processed the threat yet and then fully caves in the instant after.

    @Milo Thatch Oh ok. By the way since your user picture is Milo Thatch that reminds me-one thing I wondered about as a kid was-Commander Lyle Rourke-he has gray hair and looks old-how is he so buff?! I mean I think he's, like, sixty something-he at least LOOKS old to me. How is he so physically fit and powerful as an old man?! His muscles are, like, huge! 😆

    Oh you were referring to me taking a while to respond, Stats work baby

    I mean, to work his way up and lead a mission like that he has to have well above average muscle for his age. Though some people get gray hair more on the quick end to be fair, so maybe Rourke is not quite that old and more like early 50's

    @Milo Thatch Oh yeah; that makes a lot more sense LOL. Mrs. Packard (the cranky old lady who smoked) was really old though. I think she was the one on the submarine that manned the radio and stuff. LOL she would be talking to one of her friends and then something bad would happen and she'd be like "Hang on Margie; I'm getting another call..." XD She was such a pessimist too, which also was funny, like that one time she sarcastically said "We're all gonna die." I mean Dr. Sweet and Milo and Vinny and Mole and Audrey Remirez were my favorites but Mrs. Packard was pretty funny. I also remember when she read over the intercom that note she found somebody wrote as a prank that said "Attention! Tonight's supper will be baked beans-musical program to follow!" and she basically was like "Who wrote this crap?" That's one of the lines from the movie I remember the most as a kid actually-it was so darn funny. That and the L removed from the Motor Pool sign prank.
    It seems really rare that I'm one of the people more excited for that there are new Percy Jackson books coming out than for the TV series. In particular that there's going to be a sequel to Nico's book released last year is really exciting for me as I loved the novelty in ideas and character development of that book a lot even though a couple parts of it could have been executed a lot better like its pacing. But even then, the silver lining to the first book having those flaws is that the second book improves on them and keeps the great parts of the first book that will likely make me appreciate it even more. That there's going to be an eighth book solely focused on Percy is cool too.
