Arcane - Review - 10/10

 

Mean Face!

I just got done watching this one with my niece, Charles.

It's my show of the year. A high recommend for all people, not just SFF fans or animation fans. 

You don't need to have played the video game to enjoy it, I didn't, and it's the best thing I've seen all year. Hell, it beats any book I've read this year as well.

Dune 2021 Movie Review

 

An Incomplete Movie

I had no idea this wasn't a full movie. Was I supposed to surmise that from the "It Begins" bit on the poster? What a huge let down. The movie just ends, but the story does not. 

So I can't recommend this to anyone without watching the whole thing, but from what I saw, it's okay. Hopefully they can make the rest of it, if this first part does well. 

Jason Mamoa is great in it. I could watch an entire movie about his character. The Adventures of Duncan Idaho. Get on it, Hollywood.

Masters of the Universe: Revelation - Teela's Quest

This advertises a He-Man v. Skeletor show.


Despite being advertised as a He-Man show, this is a Teela show.

It's not even a good Teela show, as this Teela is a whiney child who runs away from responsibility.

I'm not sure I can recommend this to any audience. It's neither for Teela fans, nor He-Man fans. 

Hugely disappointing. Skip it. Watch Arcane.

Lorna Shore - New Band I'm Liking

Holy crap look at these guys. They didn't have bands like this when I was a kid. Not that I ever heard anyway. Check out the last minute or so of this song to see what I'm so intrigued by.

Topical Tuesday - Kindle Vella

So it looks like Amazon is trying to start up a serialized fiction platform, call Vella. Basically, you get the first 3 episodes of a story for free, then you can use tokens to unlock later chapters.

It sounds interesting, and there's going to be a 50/50 royalty split with the authors. 

I don't know if it's going to be viable long term, but we'll see. I know some authors who are seriously considering jumping in. 

Who knows, I might put up a story or two. I've not put anything out in so long, it's well past time to jump back in. 

This article here delves more into the specifics:
