    A Revelation

    By Hordaki,

    The SpongeBob episode Squeaky Boots is just a child-friendly adaptation of 'The Telltale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe.
     
    It's amazing what things you realize in the middle of the night while deprived of sleep.

    I've always been a fan of the books and I liked the movie, so I was really excited for the Netflix adaptation of A Series of Unfortunate Events. If you've never read the books, it's about three recently-orphaned children who are pursued by a villainous actor who wants nothing more than their family fortune told through a strange blend of mystery and black comedy with a lot of witty narration by the titular author Lemony Snicket. The show itself does a great job of capturing the tone of the books, with Patrick Warburton as the perfect Snicket and Neil Patrick Harris as a funny yet despicable Count Olaf. While it doesn't follow the books perfectly, most of the changes are additions to serve the ongoing mystery (which is understandable, the mystery in the books didn't start until around 5 and the show goes through the first 4). The show isn't for everyone, but if you have Netflix I would highly recommend checking it out. It's a very fresh debut for the new series.
     
    If you saw it, what did you think?

    A Thought

    By Hordaki,

    I've already done four 'Penny Thoughts' posts, but I have no idea how to do another without possibly reviving a blog fad.
     
    Also I would say not to use this post to start another one, but that would inevitably start another one.

    Almost Time

    By Hordaki,

    SpongeBob v Patrick: Dawn of Splatfest is about to begin, and here's my contribution to the Miiverse festivities:
     

     
    There are more posts at the Splatoon Tumblr, if your interested in stupid SpongeBob quotes like I am.

    Ask Some Stuff

    By Hordaki,

    I'm bored, so I'm doing an AMA. Ask away.
     
    (Also I'm still looking for a new display name, so if you have any ideas pitch them here. I'll pick one after the weekend)

    Bats and Supes

    By Hordaki,

    I saw Batman v Superman today. I've always liked DC, but their movies haven't really wowed me like Marvel's have. It was pretty good, but not great. I get where the criticism is coming from, but a 30% on Rotten Tomatoes is way too harsh. I'd give it a 7, maybe 7.5 out of 10. The cast was good, so I still have hope for Wonder Woman and Justice League to turn it around and give Marvel a run for their money.
     
    Speaking of Wonder Woman, I'm just gonna put her theme here because it's pretty awesome.

    In honor of the impending release of Captain America: Civil War, whose side are you on: Captain America (the Avengers should have the freedom to do what needs to be done) or Iron Man (the Avengers should have accountability for their actions and answer to a governing body)?

    Cars 3

    By Hordaki,

    Um, Pixar... are you sure about this teaser? I get that everyone thought Cars 2 was too dumb and childish, and that you want to prove it can be serious. But are you sure the best way to do that is to disturb and potentially traumatize the kids who liked it?
     
    For the record, I do like the first Cars and I think Cars 2 was okay. I'm sure the movie itself will be lighter, and the teaser doesn't really have bearings on if Cars 3 will be good, but this is a surprisingly dark trailer for a film series most known for selling brightly-colored die-cast cars to small children.

    Fifteen

    By Hordaki,

    Happy early birthday, BZP. Here's to fifteen more.
     
    Also those with blogs should use their time wisely, as there's a free premier storm brewing...

    It's funny how three years ago, hardly anyone knew about the Guardians of the Galaxy and nobody expected it to be a hit. And now I just saw Geico, Hanes, and Ford all run commercials about them. Groot was hanging out with the Gecko and underwear will help you save the universe.
     
    Hollywood is weird.

    (A Dinosaur's Story)
     
    Thanks to Bfahome for the 6-months of premiere. Now you guys are stuck with me again for a while.
     
    (Also wanted to do a shout out to Alternis Dim's premiere giveaway if anyone didn't get a chance at Bfahome's)

    King Shark

    By Hordaki,

    I'm not sure if anyone here watches The Flash, but I'm gonna talk about it anyway because I can.

    Nickelodeon just announced that they're bringing back the classic game show Legends of the Hidden Temple...
     
    ...as a TV movie. Huh.
     
    On one hand, this is a weird idea and is probably just using the name to cash in on nostalgia, and doing an adventure movie on a TV budget might not be the best idea. But on the other hand, Hidden Temple always did have a narrative in the episodes, so it's one of the very few game show that could work as a movie (besides Carmen Sandiego, as Aanchir has kindly pointed out). And if The Lego Movie taught me anything, it's not to judge a movie by its premise. And who knows, maybe the movie will be popular enough to bring the show back? One can hope.

    Meep

    By Hordaki,

    Thanks to Chromedome for the name idea. I'll switch back to Hordaki eventually, but for now I wanted something different.
