The Electric State

An orphaned teen hits the road with a mysterious robot to find her long-lost brother, teaming up with a smuggler and his wisecracking sidekick. Sometimes I’ll be chilling in the living room and someone turns a movie on and I end up watching it. It’s a rather surface level morality movie that says that maybe

The Witch

With suspicion and paranoia mounting, each family member’s faith, loyalty and love are tested in shocking ways. Karen has been wondering about the Witch

Happy Gilmore 2

Happy Gilmore, mourning the loss of his wife and without the funds to provide for his daughter’s opportunity to train as a ballet dancer in France, returns to golf and fights surgically modified super-golfers in a high-speed golf tournament while struggling with his alcoholism and self-hate. That’s the best summary I got and it’s really

The Minecraft Movie

We decided to fuck around and have a Minecraft-themed party that encapsulated Father’s Day, my birthday, Remy’s birthday, and his kid’s birthday. Honestly, it was unexpectedly fun? Hammy, dumb, B-movie quality with AAA budget. Did you know that it has like 6 writers??? I was fascinated by this movie. It’s bad, for real, but it’s

The Descent

I’ve seen this one a few times, actually, so I rewatched it because I don’t think I ever saw the Descent 2 and wanted to revisit it. I remember young me, 12 years old, thinking, oh god. Juno is hot. It’s a good movie, led by an all-female cast. I love cave creature movies and

Homestead

I did not care for this movie. It was overacted, overdone, corny. Lot of masculine games going on until Ian gets shot and Jenna lets them all in and there’s, like. Faith stuff. Basically criticizing the need to hoard materials and prepper culture in the face of WWJD and stuff. That’s the good part, actually,

Welcome to the Menagerie.

Here is where M logs their media activity. Partly because Goodreads is forgettable and keeping physical logs is harder. Sometimes M writes a lot. Sometimes M doesn’t write enough. It doesn’t matter. This is just a for-fun little blog so that M can remember what they thought about whatever they watched or read or played or. Whatever.

What is M?

I read. Voraciously. I have subscriptions to those book things on digital retailers. I consume books at nearly all hours. The hours I don’t spend reading? I’m writing. I’m drawing. I have a problem. I have a problem in that I love to read things that are in the same vein repeatedly. Book journals don’t work and as much as I text my friends screenshots of book passages, it doesn’t scratch the itch. Now I’m going to be doing… tiny… tiny book reports.
