My current rage and interest in burton continues.

$

This is continued from my previous journal titled "Just realized something about "ünderland"

Well folks, back to insite and rage about the newest dissapointment coming into my skull but hopefully a glimmer of hope of some-originality. Please ignore the whole Addams Family news and just read down.

Otherwise, let me give you a quote of what bothered yet interested me:
Burton is also one of those guys with about a million things on his plate, so anything could be next. There's his long-talked-about adaptation of the TV series "Dark Shadows," which many had thought would be next, for one. And in the stop-motion realm, there's the remake of his 1984 short film "Frankenweenie." Burton is also rumored for a villain-focused telling of the "Sleeping Beauty" villain in "Maleficent" and he's attached, along with "Wanted" director Timur Bekmambetov, to produce an adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith's excellent new novel, "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter."

Rage:What I said earlier about crying into my palms about a remake of Disney's Sleeping Beauty just got worse. Just like the stupid lesbian villain-sue origin story fiction and Broadway musical "Wicked", Burton is going to be taking another Disney classic and raping it by focusing on a interesting character but possibly have Jhonny Depp- er, I mean Helena Bohem Carter as the main role. Also, expect Deviant Art to state the characters in the film as "iconic" as Square Enix. I'll get to that at the end of my soap box.

Burton, please stop taking already written scripts and just original characters like you used to. Does "Stainboy" ring any ears? Batman might be a good Tim Burton movie but it isn't a good Batman movie. Not even that Cartoon Network wants to admit that... Strange having such a violent movie on a kids station but then again, I'm not the same idiots that brought my children into the theaters to see Hayao Miyazaki's "Princess Mononoke" on the impression that every cartoon is by Disney.

Despite the onslaught of already filmed reboots by the hack-master, one glimmer of hope is "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter". Seeming that this is a good chance that I'll be actually raising my hands into the air and say "Hallelujah, thank you god for beating him with a 'inspiration stick'", and actually laugh through it like I did with Mars Attacks. This might be the live action equivalent of "The Amazing Screw On head"(Please check Google video if you haven't seen it yet, see it now!). Seeming that Burton has teamed up with the director before on 9, this might look good for the better. The reason I like Acker's 9 in both short and film is that both Acker and Burton was due to expanding what the original had but not being in your face about it. That where "Charlie and the Fudgepacker factory" and "Joan of Ark in Underland" went wrong.

I'll be going all day about it if I wanted to talk about "Penumbra Shadows" and "Franken-reboot". Only thing I'll give credit is that Frankenwienie might be stop motion animated. Thus, my hope for it is slightly improved.Stop motion will mean effort on Burton and it's actually been a dream of mine to direct a stop motion version of "the Scarecrow of Romoney Marsh". Different is that it's like Dracula, each version is different and is public domain. The only problem is that Disney is releasing comics of the scarecrow in Disney Adventures magazine which might mean a possible movie by Jerry Bruckhiemer in the future except that it might be once again made in live action to my chagrin. What made me chose the medium for the film, if I do make it, is that I saw the film "the Perry-Wig" maker on Atom films(before the company raper Viacom took it over and removed the beautiful artistic concepts for comic drivel). The short was very beautiful in my opinion, and you can check it out on Youtube to see what I'm referring to.

Well, seeing some really great Tubers out on that site, I figured I should point some out that maybe you'll like them as I do. I'm posting this to get this out of the way so I can get to submit my latest art.

First is A Fan Fiction Critic.

Found her through ThatGuyWithTheGlasses site, and found it a treat to see her insight on bad fanfiction. Back on the Glasses site, someone complained that Sage might complain about her taking his gig. In fact, the way she presents is her commentary rather than reading the fiction. This is rather like Linkara except that he focuses more on the art than the presentation but he also does some commentary on the writing as well.

From the point that I'm typing this, she has two episodes. In Youtube-wise, she has several videos for each episode. First episode was seven videos, while the second had two. You can see her commentary on here.

Second Tuber is Hellsing920.

Found this one through ED(Deviantart won't let me say the name of this wiki since they either consider it spam or porn). What is great is his open mind, even though he swears a lot, he's just trying to explain about the pros and cons about being a "fanboy", "consols", and just other things in general. What makes him interesting is the fact that he likes criticism and wants more rather than people kissing up to him like I would.

Yes, I'm the kind of person that would agree with him, no matter what things I like and he hates, I'll still like him for it. In point, criticizing about things that I like from his view makes me feel better for myself in realizing why I like something.

He has three types of videos: "Fanboy Chronicles", "Epic Rant", and "Console Wars". Let me explain.

"Fanboy Chronicles" is his explanations on fandoms. Me, calling myself a votary, would be considered a "sane fan" by people who'll possibly just pass by this or other accounts on other websites. The fans he's referring to are the really vehemented types. Ones who will threat and even kill in the name of their fandom(One video explained about the Nolan Batman faboys who threatened critics who rated the "Dark Knight" poorly). Here's a video that can give you more of a glimpse on what he explains on "fanboys.

"Epic Rant" is his personal soapbox on he things he hates. He more freely to speak things about anything he wants to talk about and then also include things that could inspire to make another video. Nothing much to say here, but you might want to take a look anyways.

Last, we have "the Console Wars", his personal opinions on what each console has and not to offer in gaming. I pretty much just summarized it, but here's his explanation on the first console in the series.

That's basically the Tubers that I wanted to share, maybe you'll enjoy them as much as me, but I have one other thing that I want to talk about that I've never really got to talk about before. Dream covers. Songs and compositions that might be done well in the hands of other musically capable people.

First off, When I mean musically capable, I don't mean this.

This version was the very reason that made me think of this list that I wrote down for covers by professionals. So to start of by the same song I just linked, Jack's Obsession from the Nightmare Before Christmas. Very much the reason I like this song is due to the protagonist questioning of his ethics and occupation and deriving into madness at the same time.

Commentary on the new Terwilliger episode.

Seeming that almost all Terwilliger votaries and fans are going to speak about the episode, I might as well as share my thoughts as well.

First of all, rather nice character development. Sure, it's no Brad Bird episode, but any Terwilliger episode is a dose of detail that I enjoy it whether or not a certain director is on board.

I'm similar to :iconvioleta960: on the fact that his wife, Francesca, and child have not been seen in this episode which might have brought wonderful tension to enhance the plot as well bring a message of families that stay together, such shown in in his wife's first appearance. In my opinion, why not just have a different voice actor so she could appear? Otherwise, just do another episode being a focus on Gino missing his father giving more development with the son.

One of the things I've been pining now for a while is just a appearance of Niel. Certainly, I know people on NoHomers who would go absolutely ballistic if another family member appeared, but this is a already stated character in the comics, even if he only had two pages. Technically, this episode borrowed a storyline from the comics, so would that be any different? Just the thought of a non-criminal minded of the family even though he was incarcerated into juvenile hall for winning tickets(it makes sense in the context of the comic he appeared in).

The real scene that bothered me was not anything that offended me but mirrored real life. Over here in Temecula, due to taxing and other things, friends and neighbors of my parents have been moving out of state. People we known for years vanishing due to the economy, it just struck harsh that reality and relevance came into the episode. Me and my parents will soon end with the same fate of moving out of state, I'll be talking about that when the time actually comes.

I probably haven't said enough, but that's all on my mind at the moment for this episode. Good bye for now, and I'll possibly type something relevant to my life in the near future.

Tagged... Well... Okay.

Write 10 facts about yourself, then tagg 10 users but you can't tagg the one who tagged you.

1. I play videogames while waiting for things, mostly Pokemon. Professor Layton is another one I like to play.

2. Whenever I'm interested in something, I try to emulate that person or thing. Last year it was Kelsy Grammer, now it's Tom Waits. If you skype me, expect me laid back with a voice you can't hear very well. I'm not drunk, I just sound like I do.

3. If you haven't followed me already, I'm a votary of surreal works. This invokes my love of horror since the world of monsters is more colorful and wide than romance.

4. On of the things I hate is pairing. I won't stop anyone, if it's something you like to do, then do it. I'm not forcing anyone with my beliefs. The reason I don't like it since I just focus on the plot rather than two characters getting it on. If it's a character alone, it's the fact that I see something in the person and I like to focus on the character's philosophy.

5. Once every few days, I check Encyclo Drama for critiques. Sometimes it to laugh at the stupid people, other times I pity the human race. Don't worry about me, I'm not writing any entries. No, I am not a troll.

7. Don't expect me to make a whole list of fandoms, I have way too much time on my hands when I do. That doesn't mean that my life is empty. I actually have a lot of things I need to do that I can't finish at the moment, this includes requests.

8. When I go to Gaia, it's only to see if anyone wants art of their character. I'm always interested to try a different character.

9. I eat less and drink more. Usually when having a meal, it's too much for me to eat. Drinking is much more light and it doesn't affect me much.

10. Last, I'm probably the only one who has a belief in God and believes that he uses the stars to make the astrology work combined. It's just a theory I have. If Regan believed in the stars and it saved him, why couldn't it be god who was trying to save the president? To athiest's like my friend, :iconall0hallows0eve:, it's alright if you don't believe in god. I'm just stating a theory.

Thanks to :iconeddie-lou-fan: for tagging me. It's nice you want to know more about me, but let me put it this way, I don't tag anyone after I've been assassinated(tagged in my terminology). Consider me dead by the point I've been tagged, this way I don't have to tag anyone else with a meme. Like I said, it's terminology, nothing to attack or offend anyone.

Sorry for that Asterix reference, I just love that gag! Seriously, I want to note a few things.

First, :iconkrittykat: made this for me. I need to ask her if I need to still pay gaia gold for her, since I think I bought it from her with the fake currency.

Second, even if I'll still be in contact with this site, I'll be going to Anime Expo once again! Surprisingly, even with what money me and my parents are losing since the city we live in has the city counsel against us, my uncle has been kind to have me as a employee at his booth once again. I'll be able to see the film version "Detroit metal city" and his kitty, Night Fury, that he's been talking about.

I'll be gone but still on this site for July first through the fourth. Before I had to lift one of my two caskets into the 59' Cadillac hearse(which weighs several tons, believe me on this), father woke me to say the news. Boy, I didn't think it was possible. Thus, ergo, what I said in the previous paragraph.

I'll have to check the website again to make sure which artists I need my books or merchandise signed. Other than that, I was thinking about dressing up as Eric Powell's the Goon since I found similar gloves around the house and my father has a cap, but I just don't have that striped shirt... Well, seeming that I mostly cosplay as Hoenhiem, Edward Elric's father, most of the time at conventions and anime related events, I'll be him again. Last year, I was no one but just in my suit, but people asked me if I was Hoenhiem before they photographed me to my confusion.

Funny thing about me cosplaying, whether it's dressing as a pirate or just Hoenhime, the clothings right there. No purchasing, since I can wear makeshift clothing since I never dress the present styles anyway. I even won a costume contest at Barnes and Nobles, the last Harry Potter book party as Argus Filch. My father won as well since he was dressed as the "minister of silly walks". Pretty clever that he mixed Monty Python with the wizarding series.

To end, my father's back in the census business, meaning some income into our house before we move.


Any watchers who want a feature, please note or comment, the recommendation meme won't let me show any more thumbnails anymore on that journal, so ask away any questions when the journal is up. Though, I'll only make a sequel if people ask. The already-made recommendation page will give you a good idea of who I am.

Well, back from Anime Expo and stupid stuff. Just saw Toy Story 3, made cry manly tears. It was that depressing. This Crack article speaks my sympathies: [link]

Back to Anime Expo, it was fun but made a little disappointed. I worked three days straight on a entry for the art contest, and the judges decide to choose something that didn't fit the requirements. Since the rules said "4 panel comic" I decided to do a comic by making the punchline be a pun derived from the word. Not only did it not win, the winners were mostly pencil drawings.

Hard work does not pay? Is that what the moral is? I tried for a whole day thinking about the workings around a comic, showing the difference between japanese and my style, by also trying different mediums in the comic, and they choose five to fifteen panel pencil-drawn comics? Why?

What's wrong with your face....

Hey guys, I just relooked into my Anime Expo shwag bag. This one flyer that I had attracted my attention compared to what earlier was at the booth. Sure, I liked the booth since it seemed like the version of Jack Skellington was closer to the puppet than most of the merchandise, but this is merely directed toward.... Woody. The sheriff from the Toy Story trilogy.

Why am I bringing this up: Here. Here's the [link] .

Now, I'm going to just show the image so you don't have to waste scrolling to the problem with this toy.



What's wrong with this picture? Why is woody looking like he's going to murder someone with those slitting eyes?

Just yesterday, I got a pez toy of Jessy and Woody, and they were just fine. Now, I know this is for more mature collectors... Though, would you really give this toy your child with a face like that? Now, I was surprised when I got to the website itself to find the face, and the first face of Woody they showed was not that terrifying. Though, as I clicked onto the toys information, that is what I found.

Now, I don't blame you if you are frightened, but I do have to give this toy company some recommendation. If you really want some good toys, Check out these ones:
Buzz lightyear
Jack Skellington
Batman Er... Not so much, but if you leave the mask on, he's awesome!
Xenomorph alien

So, you'll see what I mean. The company just happens to make scary looking characters when they aren't supposed to me.

The Mary-Sue quiz stolen by :iconsnow22:

1) What is the name of your character?
I'll choose Camoflauge, since I feel that he's not my author avatar, but I like to explore more to expand on his character.

2) Does your character's name have some kind of special meaning? [2 points if yes]
Well, it's his ability... So yes. Then again, it's a code name given from his employer since that code name will be important to whatever happens to Hiel.

Fandom:

3) What is/are the main fandom(s) your character is in? [3 points if in more then 1]
None, he's my character, my story.

Appearance:

3) Is your character unusually attractive? [3 points]
No... There's not much. He's a human blob that can change shape but not pattern.

4) Does your character have some type of unusual characteristic? (ie. Cat ears, cat tail, unusual eye color, Unusual hair colors [fiery red, blue, white, green, rainbow, purple and pink all count]) [4 points. 5 extra for Cat features if the character is in anime fandom]
He's a superhero? Being a blob? Yeah.

5) Does your character's clothing resemble any canon character's? [2 points]
No, he's from my story.

6) Does your character have animal characteristics? [Bat wings, animal ears, animalistic body ect...] [2 points]
Um... Chameleon, I guess...

Race/powers:

7)Is your character from a place that the fandom doesn't take place in? [3 points]
Uh, he's from Britain, so I guess he's not a familiar in America except he lives in America after the lab incident, so I suppose so.

8) Is your character a demon? [3 points]
Well... Would immortality of power make one a demon? I don't think so...

9) Is your character related to a demon? [2 points]
Bob is possessed by one, and Camoflauge is his friend, but not related by blood.

10) Is your character related to a supreme being? (ie, god/goddess, Satan, angels ect...) [6 points]
No. He's a human being with a scientific organic curse/malfunction. Nothing theologian or mythological, yet he does fight against demons of world mythology like a Abiku or a Baku(except I might have to make that Baku possessed or persuaded due to a villain since a baku is actually a benign demon).

11) Is your character a supreme being? [6 points]
Wow, themes of theologian power. I say, no.

12) Does your character practice witch craft? [2 points]
He's a doctor for crying out loud! Reason comes before magic. Yet he finds magic fascinating since having friends of different races and skills. One is even a merman(kind of like Abe Sapian)!

13) Can your character change form? [2 points]
Sure, that's his power. It depends what form, but that's basically what he does.

14)Is your character in love with a canon?
Huh. Tough. He loves one of his friend scientists, Jamie Hewlit(A woman, just shares the name of the male Tank Girl artist), who got cursed along with him of the nanonites. Now they can't get close or they'll die within a close radius. It gives a chance to focus on what can be hard between the couple but gives them strength since it means they'll find a way to work with their gifts.

15) If so; who?
Jamie Hewlet. Invisibility power and force fields. I don't know, Violet from the Incredibles and Susan Storm both have those powers... Besides, even her main form is almost hard to see to begin with. I'll explain more in the story, and hopefully give her another power to not make her a clone.

16) Are they romantically involved? [4 points]
Yes. They just can't get close. It will kill them.

17) Do they end up having kids? [4 points]
Seeming that having nanonites will never make them human again, I'd say no.

18) Did they get married? [2 points]
You love repeating yourself, don't you?

3)
19) Do they have flaws in their relationship? [Not worth any points]
Yes, they'll die if their close. I consider that their strength. It's not because I'm against romance, it's just part of the story. Another one of Camoflauge's lab partners is a male who fell into the vat as well, which gives him the power of water and mercury. He could kill himself if he got...

Boy... Can't believe what I forgot in my childhood that things like Anime-Thumbilina/Maya, FR07(Ben Kingsly as a frog), Atnhropormorphic Daivd Copperfield with cheese zombies, Twice upon a Time, a magic paintbrush distributed by McDonalds, and... Well, I'll be looking at the Brave Frog(a.k.a. Demetan Croaker) next.

It's great to see my childhood again on youtube, but, man, I must have zoned out a lot on what I saw. Pretty cool stuff though.

I'm going to review the film(well, 26 episode anime that got constricted into a 80 minute film like Fugitive Alien) just to explain how I kept questioning the plot as I went through childhood lane...
Thumbilina- [link]

To begin, the protagonist's mother deicded since her daughter, Maya, is such a bother to her, she went to a good witch. Huh. I guess people just know by their business card... Anyways, the mother is invited into the witches house, with the witch looking into her crystal ball to evaluate. Apparently dress-tugging, sleeping in fields, and playing with frogs means this is a hard case. How is that supposed to be bad?! Well, anyways, the witch hands Maya's mother a magic fairytale of "Thumbilina" which brings the title drop. The only clause to this case is that the mother has to push Maya into wanting to read the story herself. Once Maya finishes the story, she will appear to be a better behaved girl than before(I'm trusting that means Stepford).

Mother brings the book home, and Maya brings a frog, which causes the mother to have a panic attack with her stew churning spoon. The mother tricks Maya by making Maya interested in the story leading to the drug-induced fantasy of being shrunk, a almost-wed interspecies marriage that is done with magic, almost eaten by a witch, and other things, all by giving her mother a coma... Yeah. Though, it's due to Maya having to wake her mother up by going on a three man pilgrimage for character development to break the spell. Also, to add, there's gender viewer confusion, huckster frogs, hobbits, a sugar imp(which I was afraid that this was a version of the sugar character from the Bluebird where he rips off his fingers to feed his friends... :wtf:), and a prince that has a shadow that's better than him... Then there's parts that go into Sailor Moon territory with a evil witch that turns out to be a good guy!

Please note to have MST3K Mantra when watching the film or you'll be wondering "what's with all these blue animals and why aren't they at the end of the film?" or "did that frog have to whip Maya's behind with his toungue?". Note to people who want to see it, the dub is pretty bad as well as the inserted songs. It's kind of how I had to deal with Anthro-David Copperfield. That was actually worse than this, so consider yourself lucky I'm not reviewing that.

Besides anime-weirdity, I saw "We Are the Strange", "The Fearless Four", "Help! I'm a Fish", and "Tom Thumb Meets Thumbilina". Trust me when I say the fish film is the one you should see, especially in English due to Alan Rickman's voice. He actually sings! That's all for now, I'll be giving more reviews to films and books you should see and read in the future.

The Very Depressing Frog

Welcome to another review of "See or read it: Childhood edition".

As I said on my previous review of "Sailor Thumbelina: In name only"



That was interesting but made we wonder how I forget so much. The film I just watched, the Brave Frog, makes me think the same but adds more as to "why didn't i cry when I first saw this...". Yeah. It's one of those films.



Just to get this out of the way, I loved frogs as a kid. That's why all these frog related films are being looked into at the moment. So, yeah.

Well, to start off, it begins with a family massacre. leaving only the protagonist and his parents. Yeah. Don't worry, there's more death in this film! It gets....

Better.

Yeah, they survive and the protagonist, Jonathan Croaker(Yeah... Puns. Just like the deaths, the puns keep coming as well), meets his love interest, Pookie. No, it's not the bear from Garfield. Anyways, the two hit it off but then, a social caste system allegory tears them apart due to her mafia leader father, Leopold. This isn't just about dealing with death, it's also the director from the Evangelion series attempt to give a allegory about the Japanese social caste system, which rather threw me off as to disturbing. This is a kids show... Right?!

:iconstaresplx:

The "king", Leopold, tells his daughter not to stay with him since he's a tree frog while the leopard frogs are apparently have the higher power, which means that Jonathan can't go to school. Instead of listening to Pookie, Jonathan decides to stay along with her, until her father bruises his father and demolishes their home. That's not the best part! Jonathan becomes emo and decides that he should just die.

Hopefully, a father figure comes in. It's... Uncle Remus? No, a friendly leopard frog by the name of Goliath stops two of Leopold's henchmen from beating up his daughter(What parenting skills!) and Jonathan. Goliath's act of bravery makes Jonathan determined to follow in Goliath's footsteps, which even those actions cannot stop Goliath from living. This is only the first half!

Now, I want you to look this over before you show this to your children or younger siblings since it's a good film and seems like it has the look made for children, but it's very depressing. Over all, it's a interest film, to say the least.

Things you should take note in "annoyance" meter is the lines: Great Frog, and "Ribbit: To the limit...". Great Frog apparently is the Brave Frog's way of pulling a fast one by not using the term "God". Yeah... As for the "ribbit" part, it's the narrator's way to motion that he has a rhyming Aesop to say. Just ignore these, and you'll be fine.

First part is here: [link]

Now I don't want to give much as I already said, but I swear that the biggest big lipped aligaator moment is in the last part:
[link]

So, that's Kerokko Demetan. This is actually rather funny since it's kind of like Thumbelina, which is actually a 39 episode series rapped up into one film. Makes me wonder if a distributor will pick it up and properly dub it.

Besides the review, I forgot to mention earlier that I watched Angel's Egg. It's a pretty good film and I'm surprised people are theorizing what's going around in the film. In my opinion, if you watch the film by thinking simplistically, you won't have trouble watching it. Very beautiful animation too. Also, I'll be doing a review on Felix the Cat the movie, so just wait.

Felix the Annoying Cat.

Back to "See or Read It: Childhood edition", I was curious into seeing this film again since it hasn't been years. I think I actually saw this back-to-back with the Jetson's movie on Cartoon Network when that channel was all about showing films and Hanna Barbara/Looney Toons.

Here's the movie, Felix the Cat... Who I feel is just a fake clone of a great character.



The cat is back... indeed.

There's nothing enjoyable about this character. He breaks the rule of "Show; Don't tell" by explaining his emotions, reading off signs when the audience can perfectly read for themselves(Unless the director and script writer thought their audience was stupid or just a bunch of babies). Felix's laugh makes Mickey Mouse sound manly.

Long time ago, in the mysterious world of 1988/1991, a disembodied head tells what will happen before we get into the film. Remember what I said of "show; Don't tell". This is the first problem. Felix is giving a spoiling exposition before we get into the film, while scaring children in the audience.



After we get through that vat of no enjoyment of storytelling, we finally get to the plot... Politics from the resident damsel in distress, Oriana! Who's named after her kingdom for some reason. Strange... Maybe she is the kingdom but they didn't expound the difference. That would have made the film better and add depth to it, but I'll explain later as to why. She's busy explaining her situation with her vizier, Grumbert. Out of panic, her royal "fortune teller" runs in telling her the dangers of a "black duck on a green planet". Yeah... What?! Does this mean that Daffy Duck is taking over the earth. Should Bugs Bunny be notified?

Err... Uh, anyways, the princess get kidnapped by her uncle Myster- Er, Zil. Which leads her to drop a magical teardrop that works on it's own to be just as annoying as Felix by trying to pass off as Navi from the Legend of Zelda games. The princess's tear was heading for the "dismenporter" machine that Oriana was heading for to find her savior of her ego-named kingdom. After her tear ends up in... Whatever dimension Felix is from, we get to meet the annoying cat-clone himself who ends up chasing her while almost being road kill by a service truck and lands ourselves into a short musical number about foxes... It's kind of like how in Thumbelina: A Magical Story had a song about a snake and then it's not important for the rest of the film/series(well, the scene was important in that case but the song was pointless there as much here). In fact, by the end of the song, it's implied that one of the foxes want to urinate but give up which I find jarring as to what they're hoping that would apply to...

Speaking of music numbers, the only one you have to fast forward through is the two scenes with the Mizzards. Their first and second appearance is absolutely pointless that by fast forwarding will leave you happy. Just be careful by not fast forwarding when they're in the prison cell with Felix, that's the plot. That show's the sign of a bad film when you have the ability to find out that it's so annoying that you have to fast forward through scenes(like that bad anthropomorphic version of David Copperfield). One reason why Disney won the box office with Beauty and the Beast that year.

Anyways, after the pointless fox number, we get exposition from the two professors, the "Professor"(We'll call him Professor Larry just to make more human through the review) and Poindexter. They seem actually the least annoying characters since they don't break the "show; Don't tell" rule by having Professor Larry act as the audience while Poindexter acts as a explanation as to why this is apparently a science fiction adventure story. It fills plot holes but not by much. They follow Felix for his magic bag of "ticks that do tricks" and decide to go in his direction to try capturing it.

The four characters, Oriana's tear, Felix, and the two professors end up in Oriana's dimension which makes the audience end up in "Big lipped Aligator Moment" land. With the trouble of his magic bag, a pseudo-fish-musical-number, and the disemporter room, Felix makes it through into a wasteland. The wast...

Better than my Terwilliger bust.

Before I start writing my next entry in the "See or Read it" reviews with a certain pink dinosaur, I had to share this gem as a Sideshow Bob fan. Nothing scary, nothing terrible, just a fan sharing something with fans.

I've been cleaning out my e-mail box today, and with something that had "Simpsons" on the address bar, I was curious if there was something in my own interest. I was right. craftvillageuk.com is selling these to fans with a interesting twist. They're made in Africa!



This looks pretty good. Besides my main favorite, they have the rest of the main ast including Krusty and Chief Wiggum. If you already got this message in your email, mind you telling me what you thought?

Drabble-Matic Camoflauge fanfiction

Last journal before the review, I was looking at Encyclopedia Dramatica on their thoughts on fanfiction. It was rather interesting since they hade a link to a fanfiction generator that I never heard of before. So, I tried it out on Camoflauge and his love interest Jamie(I didn't want to give him a love interest in the generator, but the generator pushed me to).

It actually fits and doesn't fit at the same time to hilarious results.

Spotted Love

Camoflauge finished packing. Ever since Jamie, his own true love, had been lost at sea, Camoflauge had been zalgo-like.

There was nothing left for him anymore, nothing shaped him, all was scary. So today, Valentine's Day, he was going over the building to become a tall hat.

Just then, there was an angry knock at the door. Camoflauge opened it and stood there working for a moment, before falling to the floor in a swoon and bruising his neck.

When Camoflauge came to, Jamie was holding his finger and looking green. "My love," Jamie said Shifting, "I'm sorry for the wooden shock. I've been shipwrecked on an accented island for the last ten years, living Like that bad fanfiction I once read. I was only rescued last week." She paused. "I lost my head in the wreck. Can you still love me?"

Camoflauge could hardly believe his Jamie had returned. "I will always love you, head or no head. Besides, you can cover it up with a taxes."

They embraced punching and vowed to never be parted again.

And all was hairy.

See or Read It: Serendipity

Sorry about those two journals. but I wanted to keep them up here rather than on my facebook account. well, let's get on with it, shall we..



Hey... Look at that. A logo. Well, this will be the default logo of my reviews meaning I'll be doing this review often. Hope this gets everyone who's been reading a chance to think of ideas of films for me to watch and review. Just please! Please. Please. Please... Do not request anthro David Copperfield. I do not want to see that film again, I'm already trying to get it out of my head. The sad thing is that I already have the film on vhs, so I went on youtube to watch it from there. It's terrifying. If you don't believe me, the cheese monsters they put as a subplot should make Dickens turning in his grave!

Anyways... To the review.



This is not from my childhood. I found it while looking at the Brave Frog. Figuring that I should give it a look through as another review, I stored it along with other films I needed to review. Now that the wait's over, let's get right on to it.

Serendipity is another series compilation made into a lengthy film. While Brave Frog was compiled and dubbed by Harmony Gold, boht Thumbelina and Serendipity are dubbed and compiled by Celebrity Home Entertainment. Harmony Gold is the winner in better voice casting, since the voices from celebrity can be rather grating as heard in Thumbelina.

Before I start, I really need to talk about the music group "Bullets". Back when I was watching Thumbelina: A Magical Story, I noticed that group in the opening credits making me wonder if they're some heavy metal group that didn't realize what heavy metal was. Apparently, no information can be found their group, so I'm left as to wondering why a bunch of people that are singing like their from the Wonderful World of Disney chose "Bullets" as their title?

On to the story, the story isn't even about or starting with it's titular character, but the human boy, Bobby. His parents who are scientist went on a artic exhibition to do some study at Antarctica. Bobby tagged along to understand their study as a way to join the business, which the parents thought the travel would give him character development. Few minutes in and we get to see Bobby's superpower(apparently he doesn't know and they don't explain further as to why this is possible), which is talking to animals.

The first animal we get to hear from is the bird, Peela Peela, which the cast can't seem to say if that character is a guy or girl. Anyways, the bird explains that he/she was captured and wants to go home, but when Bobby, releases her/him out of the cage Peela was in, the rascal makes a run for it into another cabin. Bobby tries to tell the captain that Peela can speak which makes the captain laugh out of thinking Bobby was playing a trick.

A scene later, Bobby is on the ice outside enjoying the wonders of everything and he meets singing penguins! No. He does meet penguins, but he straying from the boat to meet those penguins causes him to kill his parents and ship(well, it's implied, he doesn't seem to question about his family looking for him...). Out of the debris, the glacier he sits on drifts all the way to the South pacific.

As the glacier melted, a oval shape came from it, which immediately transcends upon these foretelling Moai heads which will make everyone wonder who dropped something into the animators and writers drinking water. They foretell of Serendipity's coming, which is that she's the savior of the island. Elsewhere, Peela has escaped to the island to meet her friend, Lord Winston(the mermaid princess Laura's Dolphin adviser).

Serendipity is hatched from the egg which brings her to the story. The princess doesn't want Bobby on the island since humans are forbidden. Bobby and Serendipity both prove their worth by saving Winston. So we get back to the princess with her Aquanaught-things(they look like pre-toy story L.G.M.s and sound like them). Then we get a subplot about a village of... Things that takes interest into bobby since he has human knowledge, while they're only clones of Lisa Simpson. Before they could ask him about human machines and etc., they ha...

:iconaumbresuai: just notified her deviants(which includes me) about the news of a deviant using a script bot to watch and favorite deviants at random quickly. I was one of those people.

The deviant who watched me is :iconakoye:. I don't want to let anyone do this out of "popularity", I want people to watch me so they can learn from my work, and the watchback to learn from them. I'm sorry I gave a watchback to this person, if that person won't contribute knowledge or friendship.

Thanks to :iconaumbresuai:, I learned about scriptbots.

Here is the news article :iconmarikbentusi: wrote on the subject:
~akoye is an account that was created 3 days ago. Since then, 15.000 (Update: 17'000 and growing, it's active again) people were added to their watchlist. During some hours, there is no activity at all, but during some hours, a bot (little program for simple routine tasks) kicks in and adds random deviants to their watchlist, at the pace of roughly one deviant per second. That causes the profile page to explode with "Thanks for the watch" comments, naturally.

So what is all of this good for? Why would someone automatically add random people to their watchlist, what's the gain? Is it a prank?

There's an interesting (and for me stupid) behavior on dA. I'm talking about "backwatching", watching a person that just added you to their watchlist, even if you're not interested in anything that person has uploaded. Although the account was completely empty a few hours ago, hundreds of people backwatched. Those people will comment and fav the account just like real watchers. It's a real audience you can gather with the help of this bot.

Then however, a journal in which the creator begged for deviantART points was created and a submission uploaded. Loads of favs and responses ensued. This account got the popularity and visiting of a full-fledged dA account someone average works on for years in a matter of 3 days.

Here is an argument between ~MarikBentusi and ~akoye [link]
ALSO! ANOTHER SPAMMER/HACKER/BAD PERSON!!

~CawkBlawk is a hacker. They watch you, and then steal your art! Block them immediately!

Block both of these people immediately!

PLEASE DON'T DISREGARD THIS! BOTH OF THESE ARE VERY REAL AND VERY SERIOUS!

Here are the journals talking about each troll/hacker/mean person:
~akoye
~CawkBlawk

Please post this stuff in your journals! Everyone needs to know about this!


Looking back on ~akoye's reply to my question on why he watched me, I was confused as to this whole "bot" business. Now I see the harm.
