I just watched How to Train Your Dragon and I thought it was excellent.
But then I read reviews. People have said it ruins the books and turns them into a generic coming-of-age plot, and also if you liken Hiccup to an autistic person, it describes how society shits on autistic people and glorifies them when they exhibit savant like moments.
I havenβt seen this movie or read this book, however I enjoy other perspectives on art. It actually helps solidify your opinion in some cases or it can open your eyes to ideas you might not have considered.
Absolutely!
was this the life action or the cartoon?
But also; fuck the reviews. Your experience is your experience and what you take away is just that.
Cartoon!
Seconded on fuck the reviews.
Our entire world is run on and infinite treadmill of criticism. Your subjective experience is the only voice that matters when it comes to art and media.
If you enjoyed the movie then it was a good movie. Don't listen to the naysayers, your opinion counts. π
Checks the clock "oh shit it's almost 9:30!" Feels very, very old suddenly.
Iβve been struggling to stay awake since 7.30, so think Iβve done pretty well lasting this long. Am also feeling old
yep, I'm going to do a little end of day tidying and then it's watching some tv time
Iβm now nocturnal and kind of withdrawing from everyone. I think Iβm getting really depressed.
What the others said! We are here for you β€οΈ
Updates about melbcat are sweet, but I find it sweeter to read what you're up to, even if it's nothing at all. I care about you.
Fixing sleep is hard, and lack of vit d wouldn't help (I mean just even the sun on your skin, not even necessarily vitamin d)
Sending you my love and good vibes π
15 more sleeps until the solstice. Then the sun starts to come back. Keep posting. We are here
Keep posting here, we care about you.
so many hugs
There's a lot of good in you Melba. I don't think anyone else would've shown Melbcat the commitment and love that you've shown. Your care for her embodies the ideal of every being deserving a loving chance at life. Not many people can say that.
Stick with us, Melba. We care about you!
very windy, house creaking π«₯
Our house backs onto a reserve and it's pretty open and north facing.
When it's windy, it's windy.
If not for roller shutters, our windows would have caved in several times now.
π§
I'm probably exaggerating, but them shutters rattle like the devil on days like today.
Probably sounds worse than it is.
The wind seems to have died down a bit here. The feels like temp is now 0.3^o^ which is the warmest I've seen it all day!
Had to go outside to throw some stuff away.
That wind out there is quite strong.
I'm so tired but I don't want to waste my Friday night. I haven't even had the weekly doughnut fries.
Might take a longer nap with Fluffball.
Resist, try and stay up!
The new soft mattress topper calls to me lol.
I've got dessert on the way, went for a wake up walk and now I'm settled in for the night.
I want to play Claire obscura but I don't want to start till I finish doom. I'm one of those "one game at a time" people.
Iβm going to try a double movie tonight. Accountant 1 and 2 though the footy is on at the moment so watching that.
If youβre headed off soon I hope you have a good night!
