IMPORTANT

If you criticize something aimed at children for being "childish", perhaps reconsider if it's the thing that's at fault or if it's you.

I apologize

I realize I came off as confrontational and rude, and I now see the error of my ways. Ninjago is not, in fact, as bad as I said it was. I watched , which made several excellent points (and I highly recommend you all watch it as well), and concede that I was wrong.

How should a story make you think?

(This is related to the latest in S&T arguments, but reading the argument is not necessarily a prerequisite for understanding this entry. Additionally, while it was sparked by something bonesiii said, this entry isn't necessarily directed at him.)   I've heard that Bionicle was supposed to take some work to understand a few times now now, and it just doesn't click with me. When I think of a story that requires work to understand, I think of Snowpiercer, with its rich, deep-running themes tha

Have I complained about Jurassic World here yet?

You groan. "No," you grouch, "and I was hoping you never would." However, you clicked on an entry about Jurassic Park by me knowing full well what that entails, so chances are you're going to read the whole thing anyway.   Jurassic World is the latest in a series of movies that have probably done as much harm to public perception of dinosaurs as they have good. However, its impact will be worse than the previous three, almost entirely because of when it's being released.   Jurassic Park, for all

Guardians of the Galaxy

just went to see it today. it was a fun, entertaining movie with some nice emotion to it. I had my quibbles (as always) but I was able to put them aside to enjoy the movie. I definitely recommend it for those who haven't seen it.

Giraffes

imagine your favorite animal is giraffes. You adore giraffes, and have dedicated a sizable chunk of your life to learning everything there is to know about giraffes. You are a giraffe expert.   Now imagine that there was a highly influential movie about giraffes released a couple decades ago, one that spawned an entire giraffe franchise. People would expect you to be ecstatic, but you can’t be. Why?   Because the giraffe movie made giraffes thirty feet tall, purple monsters with rams horns and b

Fun With Wings

messing with LDD some more. This started as an attempt to make a character from a game I'd played recently but the wings grew increasingly frustrating so I decided to let it rest like this for now.   This design is only really practical in LDD; the massive amount of hinge plates would make it sort of shift shape. Still, I did manage something wing-like. If I'm going to finish the character, though, I need to keep extending inward to almost a tapering point to match the wing shape. Also, the fles

Fossil Museum Update #1: Updated Spinosaurus

A concerned commenter on LEGO Ideas said they couldn't help but question the scale of the dinosaurs. To help people better gauge the scale, I made this size chart. The sizes aren't perfect, but Deinonychus, Stegosaurus, and Apatosaurus all fall reasonably close to accurate scale to a minifigure. Spinosaurus, however, was small enough compared to what it should be that I felt the need to fix it.   Along with fixing the scale to a minifigure, this build also fixes the wonky legs and sparse spine

Evongelion

(i'm well aware that it's more Pacific Rim than Evangelion by this point but that won't stop me)   so I picked up the Evo XL Machine a few days ago. Oddly, unlike Dragon Bolt, I don't have a lot of negative things to say about that. However, having dedicated myself to negativity in all aspects of my life, I did find quite a few flaws that stood out. Flickfires. Even worse, they feel tacked on, and trying to flick them makes the joint they're on move at least 50% of the time. The back is hideous

Evolution Please Stop

Okay, so birds are flying dinosaurs. Dinosaurs have had their chance at flight and took it, and became wildly successful.   What we have just learned, however, is that dinosaurs made another foray into flight that looked decidedly more ridiculous.   Say hello to Yi qi, the bat-winged theropod. Look at it. It even has feathers and isn't even bothering to use them to fly. What a weirdo.   (The fossil did come from China, which spawned the infamous Archaeoraptor that idiots continue to insist prove
