Update Blog - 8/21/21 (Patreon)

It's been 2 weeks of intense binging for 2 different projects, but I finally gone through all of them and ready to get started on some actual filmmaking for those new videos. However, there are still some other reviews that are need to be done in the meantime, so I gotta plan out my steps before moving forward next week. Here's a little more of what I"m talking about and other things going on.

- Released my review of Ratatouille: If there was ever one Pixar movie that I needed a refresher of how it is, it's honestly Ratatouille. Of course, I am glad that I did because it's a very good movie, but it also proved to be quite a challenge because this one is quite different compared to the usual linear narratives that these films typically have. It's not really about some adventure or a pursuit of reaching a goal, it's about indulging in the life of French cuisine. To see the masters at work as they prepare the finest and fanciest meals imaginable while two underdogs rise to the top and become culinary legends. I personally say it's not a perfect movie, but still an amazing feature nonetheless. I've went through a lot of movies about food (most of which are terrible), but Ratatouille is undeniably the best of them all. So, now with that one done, it's time that we move on to the next feature and look at something very interesting, the animated feature released after Snow White, Gulliver's Travels by the Fleischer brothers. I remember looking at their other movie, Mr. Bug Goes To Town, years ago, so let's see how the 2nd American animated feature holds up in this day and age.

- Started writing a new Top 10: After viewing several movies at a time and doing some hard research just to find them, I've finally seen enough of them to finally get to work on the video itself. However, with all the other projects I have to work on, the most that I did was only start the production. I've officially made the list and I started writing the script with just the intro and the list itself in place to write them down one by one. But with those reviews taking a higher priority, I might have  to just put this on the side for now until they are taking care of, and if I have time, I'll be thinking of ideas of what to do on this Top 10 because this will be the one where I will be a lot more playful with my creativity. It'll have to wait, but I'm sure I'll be back to it with something strong in mind.

- Watched the episodes for the next Series Review: Episode by episode, day by day, I made a little habit of checking out every episode and going at my own pace while working on other projects. After two whole weeks of binging, I'm finally done checking out every episode of this series. I can't say my thoughts on them here just yet, because I know that next week's big project will be to make the review. However, I may have a lot to say with this one because, at least for me, this is a series with a massive mixed bag, so we'll have to wait and see if that means a big length on the review as well. But this week, I'm glad to have that complete and turn that binging into something.

- Currently working on my review of PAW Patrol: The Movie: Before I can even get into any of the big projects that I have in store, there is one new major movie that I have to go and talk about. Yes, I'm about to make a review on PAW Patrol. There is a part of me that does feel a little ridiculous to critically analyze a movie aimed for a target audience that's even younger than the typical family film, but then again, that could give me ideas to have fun with it and really play out on the absurdity of a grown childless man making a review of PAW Patrol. I won't be expecting the year's best in animation, but at the very least, it will make for an interesting video.

So that was my week of finishing a bunch of research and watching cartoons and the moment I can start actually making videos again. A lot of hours went into seeing what I've seen and gaining the knowledge of what they are about, but starting next week, that knowledge will be put to good use by turning them into informative and maybe even some fun videos. So, until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
