You Gotta Have Creativity, Uniqueness, Nerve, & Talent
Photo Caption: Not a real photo of me but a very close replica of my state of being over the last two days.

Encanto And Toxic Families
Disney's recent animation movies have displayed a clear pattern: away from romantic love and a turn to the love shared within a family. Starting the trend in 2013 with Frozen and a focus on the sisterly love between Elsa and Anna, Moana continued this idea in 2016 and dealt with the idea of family and legacy. 2021's Encanto is the natural outcome of the fusion of these themes all brought together in one movie.

And that is, in all honesty, the only reason I subjected myself to the new HBO Max documentary Beanie Mania. I am really eager to see Jenny do a video on this unique subject and I thought having a little more background on the topic might enhance how much fun her video will be.

REVIEW - Spider-Man: No Way Home
Now that's how you do a fan-pleasing movie. In all honesty, Spider-Man: No Way Home is an indulgent, over-the-top, absurd cash-in of a film. It's also an absolute joy. Is it designed to be the perfect fan-service for Marvel and Spider-Man fans, which is exactly what it is. This film is tremendous fun, and is far better than it really needs to be. No Way Home could have gotten away with being a stream of classic character cameos and patented Marvel CGI-heavy fights. What we got was a film with genuine heart, intelligent storytelling and three-dimensional characters brought to life by some of our most acclaimed actors and up-and-coming stars.
