Mini Frustrations #1 - Mean Girls Vs Tsunderes

Christopher Hart thinks Mean Girls and Tsunderes are the same thing in his drawing book. They really aren’t. Tsunderes have tough outside and soft inside, Mean Girls are simply that, mean. There is rarely anything beneath the surface, and certainly no development or change. Tsunderes on the other hand are complex, and often show their softer side as their relationships develop. Their behaviour is also often linked to them crushing on the person, if they are displaying mean behaviours.

The Breadwinner - Less To Complain About Than Usual!

When I realised this movie was Nora Twomey (simplifying for clarity) my heart sank. Secret of Kells, Song of the Sea, My Father’s Dragon, and Wolfwalkers are great films in theory but by goodness are they slow and boring. Considering all the factors that should make them brilliant, none of these films seem to come off nearly as well as they should – I supposed I would call it somehow drained of interest, as that is how they make me feel. I prepared myself for another disappointment, however, The Breadwinner actually got it right! It is really good, but I should warn you, brutally real. Some people might be disturbed by some parts. The only thing I have to complain about it is yet another movie that ends without really ending. I could do a whole post on this topic in general. It really feels like there ought to have been another scene or two to finish it off. On a side note just for interest really I tried to get work experience with Cartoon Saloon back in the day (had no chance!) b...

Miraculous World was a Pain, then I realised I don’t think much of the series either!

The Miraculous Ladybug Movie was brilliant, and corrected many of the issues and questionable things that were in the show. Miraculous World on the other hand . . .  It was boring. It has interesting things in it but somehow they don’t come off as interesting. This show always felt unimaginative and formulaic – as opposed to Phineas and Ferb which is formulaic, but it isn’t a downside and doesn’t feel tired. Miraculous feels tired after three episodes, and feels the same whatever episode in whichever season you watch. World is worse, though, as it feels like one really dragged out episode.  The characters are flat and uninteresting. I mean, you’ve had quite a while to put in some character development. Why are any changes only due to bad writing? The show is like a western animated series mixed with an anime but not using any of the good parts of either, ending up with an uninspiring and unoriginal show that doesn’t seem to be trying to be anything at all. It feels mediocre, a...

A Moany Introduction

 Like many British people I spend much of my time complaining. It can be anything. Waiting in a queue, the fact of the queue exists, the shower water running out, or burning the toast yet again. Don't worry though, most of the time you won't be hearing about how you always get one tiny stain of tomato sauce on you every time you eat it, or stuff like that. While I will talk about a few more real-life things, here I will prioritising posts about movies, series, and books. Am I the only one finding the Blogger settings hard to find? Took me half an hour to delete an ancient blog I found on here when I arrived. I keep having to go on Google and type in Blogger settings to get anywhere! Might just be me. Took me forever to set up my Wix website when it was only a few clicks in reality! I swear Wix is some sort of cleaning product.  Oh, well. Place your bets now as to how wrong I am going to get the labels. I seem to have a curse when it comes to social media! And what does permali...
