Random Review/Rant?: Despicable Me 2 *spoilers*

So apparently the crew behind Despicable Me made the atrocities we know as Hop and The Lorax . And they've decided to make a sequel to their original hit. What is with these companies that try to be as good as Pixar was? Dreamworks, Disney, and this company among countless others seem to vie for dominating the animation industry. Let's not waste any time and plunge right into this new movie that they made. But first, let me address the stupid love thing that they decided to add that was every bit as cliched and tasteless as the one in The Lorax . I was somewhat okay with how they handled the one between Groo and Lucy but then the eldest daughter had to go and fall in love with El Macho's son. I see a growing trend in our media today about how we focus primarily on appearances when judging love. Is this necessarily a bad thing? No, because it is true despite best intentions. But when you have this cliched cliche that just feels so cliched in young love, I just tear out my ...

Random Movie RANT: The Lorax

This movie is the epitome of everything that is evil in this world. I've never seen any form of media take everything I hate in cliched plots and combine into this garbage heap only to label this as "The Lorax." This is my all-time least favorite film. Let's start out with the story, if you could call it that. So there's this kid who's played by Zac Efron who falls in love with a girl played by Taylor Swift. If that isn't a cliched recipe for disaster I don't know what is. Basically, the girl demonstrates another cliche by wanting to see a real tree and will marry anyone who can present her with one. You see, they live in a town full of plastic and there are no living organisms. So, the kid, called Ted, goes on a cliched quest to find a tree because he is too infatuated. But the plot is more "complex" as there's this evil organization who made the town that wants there to be no living things. Why? Because they want money. That's rig...

Random Rant: Facebook

All right y'all, it's balls to the walls. I'm gonna explain why I hate Facebook. You are entitled to your own opinion but this is just my rationale. Before jumping in, I want to say that I don't have a huge problem with the design or anything that the programmers of Facebook has implemented. This is mostly about the people who lurk on Facebook. But I do have a small problem with the design. Who else has a problem with the search bar? Like I tried looking up Chuggaaconroy a few times. Most of the time, I can find his page just by the first three letters but sometimes the name just doesn't want to pop up. I don't know if that's just a problem on my part, but it pisses me off. Anyways, my main gripe is that Facebook is very degrading. There are multiple ways it degrades us but let's look at our grammar and our time first. People on Facebook feel like they can scrawl an unreadable message half the time. Even if they know they misspell a word, they don...
