Update Blog - 3/20/21 (Patreon)

It's been quite a week where reality kicks in to make you realize that time is a very limited resource, especially when you have to commit to other priorities in your work and your life where you have no choice but to delay your main plans to fit everything in. It's either I  underestimated the amount of work needed on my big project or the other things that needed my time (or most likely both). But with that said, this is what happened this week with my videos.

- Released my review of Gumby: The Movie: It's honestly been a little while since I did the review on this one, so there are already a bunch of things that I forgot about it. And yet, it does say a lot about the movie that the only memorable thing about it is that it is unpleasantly slow. Some people say that there is a "Director's cut" out there that tried to improve the issue by cutting the running time to 70 minutes, but even that won't solve many of the other problems that are in this movie that makes it pretty dull where even the simplistic charm wears off quickly. I think the most shocking part about the movie was when I thought it was almost over, but I was just on the 30-minute mark. Maybe there are better ways to watch Gumby, but this is not one of them. Thankfully, the next movie will be a palate cleanser to get a better experience with stop motion with James and the Giant Peach. Definitely a nostalgic classic for many, so this will be more fun than non-Eddie Murphy Gumby.

- Editing the finale of AL: Walt Disney Animation Studios +: I'll be honest, I was not expecting this week to get so busy with so many different plans, both scheduled and unexpected. Not only was this the week I had to talk to Patrons for the Discord Chat at different times, but I also had issues with my car I had to deal with (which thankfully got resolved) and spend some time with friends and family (mostly online). Because of all these events, I didn't have as much time as I thought to be working on the finale. Not to mention that this ended up growing to become bigger and more elaborate than I thought. In fact, as you're reading this, I only ended up finishing the 2nd segment and about to get into the 3rd. This is why you'll be the first to hear that I'm going to be delaying the video by a week to give myself more time to finish everything up and have this be the finale worthy of this series. I'll think of something else to do for next week in the meantime, but I think this is the best thing I can do for what can possibly be my biggest video I've done yet. 

- REMINDER FOR PATRONS $50+/MONTH: This month's Discord Chat will be happening on Sunday the 21th and at 3pm EST. (It could be later also, but I will update on Discord to give you the heads up because I will be a little busy in the afternoon). Let me know if you're not available for either so I'll organize a quick chat.

And that's been my week of surprises and catching up with time. Hopefully, I'll be able to catch more time with this new little plan I got and hope this can pay off because I"m excited to show you what I have in store with the finale, but want to make sure it's perfect before it comes out. Let's see if time will be more on my side next week, so until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
