Update Blog - 10/19/19 (Patreon)

It's almost unbelievable that it's already been 10 years since I first opened my YouTube channel and uploaded my first video...and look at where it lead me. Not too shabby, if I do say so myself ;) Went through a hectic week for it, but I think the conclusion made it worth it!

- Released the 1st Part of AL: Walt Disney Animation Studios +: I'm not gonna lie, it was a struggle to put it on YouTube. For several hours, I tried to rearrange and upload it without getting hit with a copyright claim. It was a tough battle, but it wasn't until I decided to say screw it and then upload the original and dispute the claim...it turned out Disney released it a few hours later. Should've done that to begin with, but I guess lesson learned. Anyways, I finally put out my first part of my most ambitious series and I'm glad to see that it's been getting some great praise. Even if the first part is about 5 times longer than the original video, everyone seemed to have loved the update and the new animations done by the awesome Logan Miller (ToucanLDM). So far, I'm happy to see that we're off to a great start and can't wait to continue making the show and show you what's coming up in the next parts.

- Released my review of The Addams Family (2019): Not gonna lie, I wanted to support this movie. I remember enjoying The Addams Family as a kid and I was hoping that this can give it new life in a fun way that they can only deliver. I guess the animation is good (especially with just a $40 million budget) and the voice actors did well with their performances, but that writing was a serious disappointment. In fact, not only would I consider this one of the worst movies I've seen this year, but also one of the most disappointing and bland animated films I've encountered. It sucks because, technically, half the job is already done with the family's already established personalities and dark theming, but somehow, this movie found a way to completely mess that up to feel boring, unoriginal and feel like any other mediocre-at-best animated kids flicks out there. I know some are shocked that I even went as far to give this the AniMat Seal of Garbage, but it wasn't one that I was happy to give. It had some great potential, but it is shameful to see all that wasted. I do hope they don't mess that up again for the sequel in 2021.

- Working on an Upcoming Review: Admittedly, I didn't get this finished as soon as I thought. I'm good with my energy, I'm back to normal with that, but it was a unique week where AL: WDAS+ took more priority with uploading and its premiere along with other stuff I had to do in my personal life. This week was pretty crazy for me and it was the only thing that delayed a bit of the production on this. However, I will say that this is going well and should have this done soon with a few more things to edit. I'm sure once I get the next review done, I'll be able to finally get this over with and I can move on to the next big project. I'll tell you a little more about this review in the next blog, but first, I'll have to pay a visit to the mistress...

- Currently working on my review of Maleficent: Mistress of Evil: I'm honestly not very excited for this one. I am not a fan of the first Maleficent movie (in fact, I find it to be one of the weakest of the Disney live-action remakes) and the trailers I've seen don't impress me all that much to find any improvement from before. The only thing that I guess I can look forward to is Angelina Jolie's performance and maybe some cool visuals for the action scenes. But if the early reviews are an indicator, then this is gonna be my 2nd Friday in a row where I'll have to deal with another crappy movie for me to review. 

- REMINDER FOR PATRONS $50+/MONTH: This month's Discord Chat will be happening on Sunday the 20th at 2pm EST. Let me know if you're not available for either so I'll organize a quick chat.

In a span of less than a month, I managed to get over 100K Subscribers and celebrated by YouTube channel's 10th anniversary. Here's to 10 years and many years more of my personal brand of craziness! So until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
