Update Blog - 12/11/21 (Patreon)

Now this is a week where I feel ahead of the game! Managed to make some good progress so far on my projects and I"m even getting ready to begin with the videos for next year. All that and I'm still able to balance it well with organizing for the holidays and preparing everything one by one. I think I'll be capping the year off pretty well for myself. So, with that said, here's the week I had.

- Released my review of Diary of a Wimpy Kid: I knew that there are some fans of mine who also enjoy the Diary of a Wimpy Kid franchise. It's always one of those things that I keep underestimating the size of its cultural impact and, eventually, I knew I gotta start somewhere. Luckily, Disney gave me an option with the new Disney+ movie and I find that my first experience was...fine. Not really good, but I guess it isn't terrible. I wasn't expecting anything as spectacular as Encanto and it makes sense with its quality that it's meant more for streaming than on the big screen. It's a big mix of things that I do like with the story's goal of highlighting childhood during the start of middle school and things that I did not enjoy like how Greg is just an unlikable version of Charlie Brown. Apparently, fans of the franchise say that it's okay and maybe a bit better than the live-action films, so I guess my start with this isn't a bad choice. I wouldn't say that it was a great experience, but I can at least say that I tried something new.

- Editing the Top 5 Best & Worst Animated Films of 2021: I am happy to say that the video is officially done...mostly. My big accomplishment of the week in terms of work is that I finished what I can do for now with making the Top 5 and edited everything together. However, not all the pieces are put together. All that's left to do is wait for the rest of the 2021 movies to be released and put them in their place accordingly, which I'll do at the same time as I'll be working on their respective reviews. But, at the very least, I did have the main part of the video finished and I'm sure that this will be quite an exciting way to end the year that I think we can all enjoy!

- Currently working on my review of Back to the Outback: I'm not sure what to expect with this movie. I'll be honest, the trailer really did put my expectations low on this one, so I'm not coming in expecting it to match the standards of some of Sony's movies that they provided to Netflix this year. Granted, I could totally be wrong and maybe it's just a bad trailer not doing justice to what this movie truly is. Either way, I'm going in regardless and see what this is all about. At the very least, it can't get worse than the last movie by Netflix Animation.

- REMINDER FOR PATRONS $25+/MONTH: I will have my first episode of the Super Secret Patreon Exclusive Q&A Show ready and released for Monday the 20th. If you have a question you'd like me to answer for the show, message me and mention that it's for the Secret Q&A Show.

- REMINDER FOR PATRONS $50+/MONTH: This month's Discord Chat will be happening on Tuesday the 14th, and Thursday the 16th and both at 2pm EST. Let me know if you're not available for either so I'll organize a quick chat.

And that should be it for my week here. I got the ball rolling now and I'll be keeping the momentum up until we finally make it to 2022. I was nervous at first, but I think I"m getting the hang of handling all my responsibilities. So, until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
