Short Zootopia 2 spoiler-free review.

General | Posted 4 hours ago

9/10

While not quite as perfect or meaningful as the first I like what this film was trying to say. I think it moved a bit too quick, and some of the callbacks/cameos went on either a bit too long or way too short...but overall I really liked it. It definitely felt a very 'safe' route when compared to how in your face the first was in its messaging...but then this was clearly aimed at a wider international market. Hopefully it will get enough people into watching the first movie that its much more powerful messages will reach more people but one can only hope.

I will say that the fact Ke Huy Quan has ended up having a career revival continues to be an inspiration. I also think the fact that he came to the US as a refugee in the 70's, and has ended up being one of the United States most celebrated and cherished immigrants is something people should keep in mind. It's because of immigrants like him we here in the US have such a rich cultural heritage comprised of many influences from across the globe.

We're a melting pot. That's what makes this country such an inspiring place to live when we're all at our best. When we forget that it's not just a small few that make us great, and forget that many people from many different backgrounds all working together that are what make this country special...that's when we're at our worst.

OK that's enough outta me. Go see the movie.

OK that's not REALLY it but my news DOES have to do with Zootopia 2...it's really, really good. I haven't seen it but I've read a reviewer who I trust write about it, and they had nothing but glowing praise. Every once in awhile Disney manages to do a sequel right, and it appears this is one of those times. Despite all the bad stuff going on right now it's nice to know that Judy, Nick, and all the other wonderful Zootopia characters have been given the love and appreciation they deserve.

Now the REAL good news...this means we're going to get so much more amazing Zootopia porn! YAY!

600th poem!

General | Posted 4 years ago

Back in 2013 when I began posting my poems here I didn't think much of them or myself. In the ensuing years I've learned to appreciate both my poems and myself as well as the positive impact both of those have on people's lives. Whether you're new to my writing, a once in awhile fan or one of my constant readers I am so grateful for the positive impact you've had on my life. While I don't exactly fit the 'lonely writer' clichè and aren't as depressed as I once was there are still times when putting one letter after another can feel like I'm sending my efforts off into the void. Knowing my words inspire smiles, laughter and the occasional happy cry helps make it feel all the more worthwhile and rewarding an endeavor.

While there are many people I have to thank-not the least of which are all 716(!) of you who have me on your watch list-special thanks must be given to certain individuals without whom I wouldn't be here or be able to push myself to do that silly, sappy thing I do.

First off my dearest friend and sibling

Silver-Linings I know if we all had someone as kind, loving, compassionate and encouraging as him in our lives the world would be a lot better off. I love you.

Second my dear friend Pantra

Pantra One of the best friends I've ever had and definitely the best DM I've had the good fortune to spend the last seven/almost eight years gaming with. While we might not always get to hang out or talk I'll always appreciate my tiger friend with the purple tongue.

Third my friend and fellow poet Wotan

Wotan Whether leaving a bit if dry satire, a song or profound compliment my fellow wordsmith has ever been a source for inspiration and kind consideration. I don't often get to looking at his work as often as I should but I very much appreciate knowing him. If you enjoy my poetry you should give his a chance as well. While our styles are quite different his are every bit as good as (and quite often better than) my own.

Finally a special thank you goes out to

Falconwolf Of all my followers they have been one of the most dedicated. I never imagined I'd ever earn a hard core fan which is why I thank you, Falconwolf for helping me feel like a rock star as well as for having one of the most metal names on FA.

Again-A huge thank you to all my followers. If I did not list you it's only because there is such a huge list plus I'm still stuck typing with one hand and it's tired. For now I'll leave you with some of my favorite lyrics that I didn't write.

We roll tonight to the guitar bite

Stand up and be counted for what you are about to receive
We are the dealers
We'll give you everything you need
Hail hail to the good times
Cos rock has got the right of way
We ain't no legends ain't no cause
We're just livin' for today
For those about to rock, we salute you
For those about to rock, we salute you

We rock at dawn on the front line
Like a bolt right outta the blue
The skies alight with a guitar bite
Heads will roll and rock tonight
For those about to rock, we salute you
For those about to rock, we salute you
For those about to rock, we salute you, yes we do
For those about to rock, we salute you
Salute

We're just a battery for hire with the guitar fire
Ready and aimed at you
Pick up your balls and load up your cannon
For a twenty one gun salute
For those about to rock
Fire
We salute you
For those about to rock
We salute you
For those about to rock
Fire
We salute you
Fire
We salute you

We salute you, c'mon
For those about to rock, we salute you
For those about to rock, we salute you
For those about to rock, we salute you
For those about to rock, we salute you
Shoot, shoot
Shoot, shoot
For those who give
For those who take
Those left high
And those on the make
We salute you
We salute you
We salute you

Fire
