Movie Review: Zootopia
[QUOTE=Anna;bt104701]there were a lot of fish shops and stuff and like only mammals seem to be sentient so carnivores probably eat all that[/QUOTE]
Good point! Now that I think about it, that's probably it since there weren't any reptiles or anything.
[quote=Pendraflare]So on a scale of 1 to 10, how funny did you find that sloth scene at the DMV?[/quote]
Probably around a nine. I thought it was hilarious, but also counter-productive, since the whole movie was about breaking stereotypes, and all of the sloths took FOREVER. Still, a really good scene.Posted March 18th, 2016 at 7:12 PM by Nolafus

Movie Review: Zootopia
[QUOTE=Klippy;bt104699]It's a fantastic movie in every way in my eyes. One of the best Disney's done. The setting is great, characters great, themes great, and background characters great. Each mammal feels like it was specially crafted with care. Just soooo good. :D Glad you liked it too, buddy.[/QUOTE]
Definitely one of the best movies Disney has ever done.Posted March 18th, 2016 at 12:24 AM by Nolafus

[QUOTE=gimmepie;bt104697]I think my biggest issue though, is what exactly do the animals eat if even the carnivores are sentient, anthropomorphic beings?[/QUOTE]

I'm yet to actually see this movie and it will probably be a long time before I do, but it sounds excellent.

Series Review: Mr. Robot
All television shows start to deteriorate at some point, but let's hope the writers know what made the first episode so good, and continue to build off of that. If they're lucky, they'll hit a stride and the series will prosper. It's off to a very promising start, but only time will tell.Posted June 8th, 2015 at 10:12 PM by Nolafus

Series Review: Mr. Robot
this is a really good review, i like how you managed to dissect it so easily, good job.
As for the show itself,I pretty much love anything that doesn't come of as boring and predictable, and at the same time isn't like mindless hack n' slash. The balance is there is quite visible. The protagonist ticks all the boxes and i really hope they are able to keep up the momentum they managed to achieve with the pilot, since that's where most shows like these fail. they show so much in the beginning that later on it just becomes too repetitive.
it was a great watch none the less, and i am really looking forward to it.
you are great, keep up the great work.Posted June 8th, 2015 at 9:10 PM by -
Movie Review: Chappie
[QUOTE=Pinkie-Dawn;bt101914]This movie has gotten a very low percentage at Rotten Tomatoes and is being bashed at /tv/ for it and compares Blompkamp to Shamalan. From what I could understand, only Chappie's body has five days to live after getting hit in the chest by a bazooka early in the film. It saddens me that the same people asking for more original films (ones not based on books, comics, shows, and real stories, and ones that are not sequels/remakes/reboots) are bashing this film despite being what they demanded.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, Chappie is a weird movie. He took some risks, and even though I liked it, a lot of people didn't. I watched someone else's review after posting this one, and he made a very good point that this movie focuses on the wrong characters, which leads to some left out potential.
I gave it a C+ rating (as that's I imagine a 7.5 would be), because of the flaws within the movie. I think it's a step in the right direction for Blomkamp, but he needs more experience to hone down his unusual style.Posted March 8th, 2015 at 10:01 AM by Nolafus

Writing, a love hate relationship...
What pc my post was more than 1 character >:[
Anyways, aw, looks like it was a good conference then! Good read, where's that like button :V It is important that what you do is something that you enjoy, more so than pay and whatnot, really.

That gave me happy chills ;-;
It may be a tough business, but it is what you love then you'll manage. Novel writing is something I've tried, and failed miserably at, but you're right - if you want something then you just have to deal with the hurdles and keep going.Posted March 1st, 2014 at 6:32 AM by Mana

Why I want to be a garbage man when I grow up
Okay, I think I'm just thinking about it too much. This pretty much summed it up:
[quote]Isn't the Bachelor's degree the new high school diploma: the standard for a proper job?[/quote]I think you just hit the nail on the head with that one. With a knowledge based economy it is necessary, just like you said.Posted February 14th, 2014 at 6:50 PM by Nolafus

Why I want to be a garbage man when I grow up
I doubt that you're hitting on what they mean. People can pursue a comfortable standard of living without "revolving around making as much money as possible". Isn't the Bachelor's degree the new high school diploma: the standard for a proper job? That's what happens when you're hurtling towards a knowledge-based economy - more and more jobs will require the skills that a college degree provides. I see it more as survival than acquisition - people go to post-secondary because they don't want to get screwed ten years down the line, not because they want to be the next billionaire. America might have its fair share of greed, but I daresay that most people just want to live better.Quote:Yes, money matters a lot. It's pretty much what makes the world go round. What I was trying to get at is that it's not the only thing. When I asked people why going to college is important, the most popular answer, by far, was so that you can make more money. When your entire existence and everything you've worked for revolves around making as much money as possible, it just doesn't seem like a good life to me. Some people thrive off of it, but not me.
Perhaps it's more so:
... to pay the bills, have a car, have a house, raise a child, go on vacation, get the iPhone X, finally renovate the garden shed, and on and on and on. Your middle class, American Dream lifestyle.Quote:When I asked people why going to college is important, the most popular answer, by far, was so that you can make more money...Posted February 14th, 2014 at 4:36 PM by Kanzler

Why I want to be a garbage man when I grow up
True, very true.
Denmark also has the government pay for a lot of stuff, hence why the taxes are so high. Denmark also doesn't get a lot of immigrants, so the citizens are happy (happy being a relative term) to pay the taxes knowing that the money is going to fellow Danes.
I think I got a little off track of what I wanted to say with my last post (serves me right for posting while tired), so let me just clean up my thoughts a little.
Yes, money matters a lot. It's pretty much what makes the world go round. What I was trying to get at is that it's not the only thing. When I asked people why going to college is important, the most popular answer, by far, was so that you can make more money. When your entire existence and everything you've worked for revolves around making as much money as possible, it just doesn't seem like a good life to me. Some people thrive off of it, but not me.
What I was trying to get at with my dream, is that I'd much rather be happy and poor, than sad and rich. You're correct though when you say that if your dream doesn't pay the bills, it's probably time for a career change.
You're right when you say that I take people and reality as it is. I don't want to change people to fit society's box, but rather work with how the people are and find a place in society where they can excel and drive the society forward. In other words, I'd rather play the hand I'm dealt and make it work.
That's an interesting idea though, with changing reality and not just expectations. I don't think schools are doing the best job at preparing for college. Quite frankly, our education system in the US sucks. If we want to change the future, it has to start in the schools. If we focused more on the student, and less on the tests, I think students will be a lot more successful.Posted February 14th, 2014 at 3:58 PM by Nolafus
