🎶 "Unlimited... my future is unlimited..." 🎶
For years, I managed to avoid hearing songs from the Wicked musical simply because I wanted to experience them in context on stage, with an official live recording or adaptation. This proved to be tough, given it's my wife's favorite musical, and she forbade me (lol) to first experience the musical through a film adaptation; however, I managed to do it and, among two other shows, snagged tickets on Broadway for her birthday…
Rebirth of Mothra >>>>>>> UPGRADE
Rebirth of Mothra II >>>>> FUCK GO BACK

The moment we have a scene of a caterpillar being flicked into a kid's mouth who coughs it into the air to fly into his teacher's cleavage, I knew we'd have a stinker.

"What the fuck?! This isn't real. This isn't real. This isn't real."

That being said, this will be removed eventually. I will keep a record of…
“Who's got no rizz now?”
Eat your heart out Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse; this is the real best animated film of 2023 with comic book-inspired style animation! After years of not caring for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and after marathoning a good portion of the movies, I can finally say I saw something that lives up to the concept’s potential.
I hope that older fans aren’t off-put by the movie, as it is the first to truly embrace the…
