Update Blog - 10/26/19 (Patreon)

It's gonna be Halloween soon, so it's time for me to make an extra SPOOOOOKY Update Blog to tell you my week with a fright! ...Okay, so I didn't have much prepared for that bit, but I can say that this was a week where I let out a lot, like a lot of new info that's coming up and a lot of steam.

- Released my Review of Maleficent: Mistress of Evil: I know it's not the worst movie of the year, nor is it the worst I've seen this year. And I'll give it credit that it's great to look at with great sets, nice costumes, cool makeup and awesome visuals, along with some good performances from some of the actors. But even with the score I gave and the positives I marked, the bad stuff in this movie made me had enough with this kind of crap. As it does count in the Disney live-action remakes collection, it offers some of the worst examples of the usual problems these films commonly have. The script is hopeless that fails to justify its own existence and shocking how any studio would consider this writing to be passable and while there were some good actors, there were also some pretty bad ones who obviously show that they just don't care. Probably the one I blasted the most in the review was Elle Fanning, whose dull and talentless acting made the experience even worse now that her role is more prominent in the sequel. And I just had to let out that I'm sick of hearing the comparisons of how she's better than the animated version (when she clearly isn't) and giving her too much credit than she ever deserves. If Emma Watson doesn't get a pass for dragging herself through the  Beauty and the Beast remake, then neither should Fanning. But I think the best way to put it is that it may not be the worst movie, but the real frustrating part is the problems themselves.

- Released the Fall Update Vlog: Well, there wasn't a whole lot to fully report in terms of what's happening for the rest of the year. You'll be getting your reviews and more future parts of AL:WDAS+, but the big reveal was the upcoming videos for December. In case you haven't seen the update vlog, I announced that I will be making several Top lists related to this year and this decade, including the Top 10 Worst Animated Films of the Decade, the Top 10 Best Animated Films of the Decade and, of course, the Top 5 Best & Worst Animated Films of 2019. The big challenge will be to work with that while also managing other videos as the same time like plenty of reviews that will come and some of the big releases of animated films (especially Spies in Disguise. That's good be tough to figure out what to do with that Christmas Day launch). I forgot to mention as well regarding what am I gonna do about AL:WDAS+ during that time, which I am possibly thinking there is a change that there might not be a part in that month and will have to wait until January to continue. I haven't started on those lists yet, but I know that will be a big thing to work on soon. I'll let you know when I'll be at work on them here.

- Finished working on a Special Review: I've had this review on hold for a while and several things like events in my personal life or other videos like reviews had to take priority. But funny enough, there was one night where I found all my energy and sped through the rest of what I need to do for the editing and the end result came out as a very satisfying video. This is something that people are entirely split on, but what I'm happy the most with it is that I've made my points clear and I believe I did well on the entertainment factor. There are times when I have to push myself to get through this, but I'm happy I finally got it done with great quality. Now I'm able to jump onto the next big project and start fresh with a new video to work on.

- Writing a new part of AL: Walt Disney Animation Studios +: I've put this one on the side for a bit, but now I'm back to continue Walt Disney's story. Right now, I'm going through the whole writing process and doing all the necessary research I need and it's so far been interesting to go through this part of Disney's history, especially I can add in a whole lot more of knowledge that I've kept for a long time and finally have a place to display the trivia of some of these movies. I've been going at a strong pace with this one and could most likely have the script be finish by the end of this week and will jump onto the recording and editing process in the week coming up. So far, it feels nice to be back in the world of Disney, especially with some of the films I'll be talking about in this part.

And that should be all that I got to report. And remember, regardless if you go trick r' treating or not, you can still have one heck of a night filled with candy and spooky movies, so until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
