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, is it pretty much sets the typical prepper shit on its head. Disliked most of the movie until the very fucking end.

Still, most of it… sucked.

Also, there’s a psychic girl? Lot of sequel bait going on. It was based on a book series, so I’m not surprised, but… eh.

Soundtrack wasn’t bad, though.

Also, it’s going to bother me— damn near everyone went to hell in a handbasket and one dude shows up like nothing bad happened, holding fucking Starbucks. You’re telling me Starbucks was open after nuclear strikes? Bro. And all those people lived almost a month out of their cars, just hanging out there. What?? On what???

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.
