So, they finally posted the Sonic 3 trailer. I'm impressed! I can tell this is gonna be even better than Sonic 2.

If anyone's looking for a good movie to watch, here's the trailer for Stalker from 1979. Based off the 1972 novel Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, and directed by Andrei Tarkovsky, it's a Soviet sci-fi movie about a character known only as "The Stalker", who ferries people to a restricted area known as the "Exclusion Zone", where there is a room that supposedly grants people their deepest desires. It was also the inspiration for the video game S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl.

OK, enough about current events. Personally, I'm STOKED that Keanu Reeves has been chosen to play Shadow in the third Sonic movie! Now, if only Rouge was in that movie as well...

Are you tired of running out of shows/movies to watch? Don't feel like blowing money and space on DVDs/Blu-rays because a certain streaming service doesn't have what you want? Well, have I got just the tool for you! Go to Justwatch.com, type in the name of any movie/TV show, and it'll tell you where you can stream, buy or rent it. Best of all, it's completely free to use! Spread the word!

OK, so I've been looking up Nimona fan art on DeviantArt, and it's somewhat difficult to find art of this because I'm getting so many results that appear to have nothing to do with Nimona. Can someone please explain this to me?

So, I finally got around to watching Nimona, and IT FUCKIN' ROCKED SO HARD! For me, it was like all of my favorite metal bands getting together and playing a song at the same time. I can see why everyone here is talking about it! Expect a fanfic from me at some point.

Last Saturday, I saw Godzilla Minus One in the theater, and not only did it rock HARD, but it also revived my interest in the Godzilla franchise and gave me a Godzilla fic idea. Probably the most interesting thing about the movie was that it seemed to have a theme of redemption not only for the main character, but also for post-war Japan. Granted, I'm not sure if that's what the filmmakers were going for, but that's how I saw it.

I don't know if anyone else can relate to this, but sometimes, I have movies/shows/games/whatever that I really love, but I'm not particularly motivated to write fanfics/do fan art for, and then I have those where I really love and inspiration for fan works just won't shut up.

Hey, if anyone's looking for a good Japanese action movie to watch, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the 1975 movie The Bullet Train, starring Ken Takakura and Sonny Chiba. Basically, it's about a terrorist group who's planted a bomb onboard a bullet train, and the bomb will go off if the train goes under 80 km/h (50 MPH). So yeah...it was Speed before there was Speed.

HOLY CRAP! I haven't even finished MHA Season 6 yet and they're already announcing a new movie! They even have a trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhdkLN_dYTE

(Sorry, the video posting feature isn't working for me at the moment)

Usually, whenever I have "movie night", I tend to watch 70s-80s action/exploitation/grindhouse movies. However, this month, I've been doing something a little different, what I call "Jeanuary". Basically, I've been watching the movies of the late Jean-Luc Godard, and the most recent one I watched was Alphaville, starring Eddie Constantine as secret agent Lemmy Caution. I thought it was a very good movie because not only did it have elements of film noir, but it even used a couple of tropes from the 70s-80s movies I like so much. I would DEFINITELY watch again!

So, I just had a thought: I think it would be cool if there was a My Hero Academia movie that was a completely original story that was disconnected from the storyline of the manga. I mean, I know the current crop of MHA movies are technically original stories, but those have definitive places in the storyline of the series, for example, My Hero Academia: Two Heroes being sandwiched between Seasons 2 and 3. I'm talking something more akin to Golgo 13: The Professional. Hell, while we're at it, this movie should have elements of 70s and 80s action movies.

I'm one of those guys who comes across the STRANGEST things on the Internet without really meaning to. This here is my latest example. It's apparently from an anime film called Penguin's Memory, produced by the Suntory beer company.

So tonight, I watched the movie Joker, and having seen it, it made me more grateful for who I am and what I have. I’m not trying to put anybody down for any reason; I’m merely saying that after seeing what Joaquin Phoenix’s character went through, I took a brief assessment of where I’d been in life, where I am now, and where I could be going, and overall, I’d say I’ve been doing all right.

On a somewhat-related note, I’d like to share something that I’ve been doing ever since 2014: I’ve been keeping what I call a “gratefulness diary”. Here’s how I do it: every night, before I go to bed, I write down a list of good things that happened to me that day. They can be things such as: getting enough food to eat, getting through the day without being the victim of a crime, getting to talk to my loved ones, being hugged by someone I like (there’s NOTHING more cool), or even just still being alive. Even if it sometimes feels like an arbitrary thing to do, it’s really helped me to take stock of life.
