I'm in the middle of being charmed/suckered by a new show, and I just had to share it with all of you Skyrim/Dragonborn/Dragonblood fans:

Dragons: Race to the Edge

Watched the new Disney Pixar film, Inside Out.

It follows the story of a young girl, but through her emotions (Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness) which are personified as little people working in her mind. It explores the human mind as the young girl goes through a stressful time in her life. The way things like memory and personality are shown is really fun and the whole concept is great.

The way it deals with things such as depression is really really well done, as it doesn't just try to make light of the whole situation, and you can really see where they put the effort in. During the film's design and writing they consulted psychologists to help them get these things right, and it really shows.

Fun, cute, one of the best animated films I've seen for a while. Definitely recommend it.





Also watched Jurassic World. It was ok.

The idea is that some fancy corporate types splice some DNA together and make a super dinosaur, which of course breaks loose and starts killing everything in sight. Why they didn't make a super herbivore to start with, I have no idea.

Enter Chris Pratt, the military-man-turned-dino-trainer who dashes around saying cool stuff and being a badass. Accompanying our hero is a corporate lady whose only notable feature is the ability to run in heels, and two children - One of whom is more interested in girls than dinosaurs, whilst the other is very excitable and annoying. The entire film is a big game of hide and seek with the big scary dinosaur, and we see very little of the park itself.

Special effects were good, fight scene at the end was quite good, first 3/4 of the film was average. I was looking forward to it so much, but I just prefer more dinosaurs with my dinosaur films

Well the whole story for Jurassic Park was that they mixed in frog DNA to complete the dinosaur but ended up being a mistake since the dinosaurs changed sex like the species of frogs they used to complete the DNA strain... Dr. Wu should've learned that. It was a good movie... Especially seeing some old faces from film.

Watching a documentary on Netflix called Earth: Power of the Planet. Quite good so far. The first episode is about volcanism and plate tectonics. In talking about what happens when two plates collide, they showed mountains. I immediately pointed at the tv and exclaimed: "That's Middle Earth!" A moment later they were showing the eastern gates of Moria, and the Dimrill Dale. I may have even seen a Ranger and a few hobbits sprinting across the landscape. But that might have been my imagination. Then the narrator said that it was the New Zealand...

That is where the movies were filmed. 100% Pure Middle Earth.

Gods is that film terrible.

Is there a "Guilty Pleasures" thread here? (If not, there should be).

Ultraviolet is one of my guilty pleasures (Æon Flux is another). I admit it: I've watched it several times. It's one of my go-to movies for when I'm sick and my brain is running at half speed.

I don't take it seriously. I don't think it was meant to be taken seriously. I think part of the film's problem is that it didn't communicate this very well.

And somehow they managed to fail to make Mila Jovovich look hot. That's almost a crime from where I'm sitting

Husband and I started watching Dr. Who. right now we are sitting through the atrocity that is Matt Smith's eyebrows.

I miss Nine. Ten was alright. I'm definitely an Amy Pond and Martha fan. Not too fond of Eleven, though he's a fan favorite, apparently.
