So, yesterday, I went to see wreck it Ralph with Jami and our freind December ( unfortunately Ashley didn't make it, hope she gets to see it soon though). I put a spoiler warning though I'm not sure if I'm giving any major spoilers jsut to be safe...but man was it sweet and adorable. It bothers me that some people were only interested because of character cameos. Yes, that can draw you too something (for example I really want the game Clay-fighter 63 1/2 because Earthworm Jim and Booger-man are in it, but also because it's a wacky claymation fighting game and that's an awesome concept), but it seems like a weak argument for somethings quality. That being said, seeing the Sonic scenes in the movie made my inner fan-girl go "Squeee!", but Ralph was the real reason I was interested..he's a big, awkward, emotional, adorable teddy bear man. I can relate to him (a swell as the little girl to a degree, being considered an error ), I'm not a big girl at all *chuckles* but in the sense of how Ralph feels lonely, left out and is tired of being judged by what people expect him to be instead of what's really in his heart. I really disliked the little penthouse people for how they treated him..at-least Felix tries to be good to Ralph, though even he shows some distance and inconsideration. I cried a few times in the movie, to try to avoid spoilers I won't say why, but I just absolutely adore Ralph as a character.

Other than the emotional bonding I enjoyed with the characters, it also had some nice twists I didn't expect, fun music, good laughs, and hits home with my deep-rooted love of the world of video games and all the colorful characters you meet throughout them. I loved the dazzling dispalys of 8 and 16-bit effects the movie used in certain parts too. Video game aesthetics have always been a treat to me, from the psychedelic pixel storm that is Robottron 2084 to the soft dreamy glow of Half-Life 2s landscapes. The credits went full on with this and made for a dazzling display. The people who left the theater early missed out on some great stuff at the end. ^^

In other news, it looks like I'll be stuck working most of Thanksgiving (also my lil sisters birthday! I gotta find her something nice. ) as will Dratis. I'm hoping we can all figure out a way to still have a get-together with our freind for a dinner still. Even if it has to be on another day..I've done it with Christmas before. Felt kinda weird but it's better than being split apart and having a depressing lonely holiday. ^^;
