Smiling Friends almost lost me
20 June 2024
I've been following PsychicPebbles since I was a homunculus, so I was really stoked for this show. The whole first season was amazing and now Zack and Michael are running biggest show on adult swim. I loved the first episode of this season, but I gotta say episodes 2-5 really missed for me. I was beginning to think the spotlight had gotten to the writing and the show was losing its magic.

But no I was a stinky doo doo poo poo head for ever thinking that. This episode (and the last one) was an explosion of undeniable creative and comedic genius. Way to go guys.

THEY HIT THE PENTAGON, THEY HIT THE PENTAGOoOon.

A masterful metaphor of war
20 September 2014
I give this movie a 10 for a number of things: A surprisingly believable and realistic storyline, amazing cgi, an amazing soundtrack, believable characters, and a powerful metaphor and message. Before I begin about the metaphor, I must say that this movie, as well as the prequel (Rise of the Planet of the Apes) really drew me in emotionally. I found myself becoming attached to the characters and and feeling their every emotion as something joyous or tragic would occur. At times I would even find myself at the verge of tears, and I don't cry much. Now for the metaphor. I believe this movie was so believable because of the realistic situations apes and humans had to deal with. They were so afraid and foreign to each other that their fear led to war. This is why many wars in the past have occurred. From fear and differences. Why were the apes and humans afraid of one another? Because they wanted safety for their families and themselves, as does everyone in the world today. By the end of the movie, Caesar realizes that apes and humans aren't so different after all. He thought apes were better at first, but found that both apes and humans share a similar culture and similar values. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes communicates a beautiful and powerful message that makes this film very unique and unforgettable. I would definitely recommend you watch this movie if you haven't already. :)
