Update Blog - 7/10/21 (Patreon)

Those reviews from last week were enough to give me quite a workload, but now that I got those done, this week was about putting myself back to bigger projects and getting those steps done so they could be ready for later this month. I still had to step aside for other factors like being with my family & friends and talking to patrons, but I can verify that it was a week where I did work hard.

- Released my review of The Boss Baby: Family Business: Out of all the surprises coming from this year, I did not expect that the Boss Baby sequel...would not suck. Granted, it's not a really good movie and there are parts that are pretty formulaic and I can understand if it's too chaotic for some, but there's something about it that kind of makes it an improvement from the original. If the problem of the first is that it's frustratingly forgettable, then why not make it more memorable by going crazy? And even if it can cause some problems, there are ways that it does benefit as well like the animation really taking advantage of its 1950s style and Jeff Goldblum at his...Jeff Goldbumiest as the villain and there is an effort to put in some heart with the theme of family. I can see where the people at DreamWorks wanted to do more with this sequel and try to up themselves from before. Not by an effective shot, but they still kind of, in a way. I'm not really gonna rush my way to go see this again, but I"m still pretty shocked of the fact that I actually did not hate this one.

- Editing the next History video: As I returned to making this video after last week's batch of reviews, I was surprised to find that this became more of a challenge than I thought. The biggest problem was trying to find the right clips for certain moment and some of them are just...gone. Some would either be privated on YouTube or are just deleted on social media. Even when looking into all the resources that I can and using the Wayback Machine to bring it back from the dead, I wasn't able to get turn them into a usable file for me to edit. It sucks, but it's fine. I can work my way around it anyways and still continue the project to make sure it'll be ready for this month. As you're reading this, I should be almost done and just need a little more time to finish it all up. From the looks of things now, even if I can't get all the clips I wanted for it, I think this video will be a legit event that will grab a lot of attention, but my focus for now is to make it worth it as a "video event" and make it the best it can be.

- Finished watching all the episodes for the next Series Review: After a few weeks of watching a bit at a time during my work days, I finally finished all the episodes for the series I'll be doing a review on. It was quite a journey going through all that (and it was a lot of episodes and even a TV movie included), but I'm glad that I've finally made the step where I don't have to worry about fitting the time to watch some episodes. I won't immediately get to work on this one just yet. Once I get the History video finished, that's when I'll hop into this project and start the script on that. I'll definitely have a lot to say on this one, so I'm ready to let it all out in the review.

- REMINDER FOR PATRONS $50+/MONTH: This month's Discord Chat will be happening on Sunday the 11th and at 2pm EST. Let me know if you're not available for either so I'll organize a quick chat.

So that was my hectic and busy week with work and socializing. It was a lot, but I'm just thankful now to have it all done and done it well. There's still more to do for next week, but I'm just hoping that I won't hop as much from one thing to another. Let's stick to working on one thing at a time, okay? ;) So, until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
