I thought Plinkett's Generations review comes off as too geek spergy. It may have been Mike inaugurating that persona in that format, but I wouldn't recommend it as the first introduction to RLM. His other Trek reviews raise some good observations about the films, but lack a certain "killer point" that made the Star Wars reviews resonate really strongly. The Phantom Menace review really was groundbreaking in that manner. SFDebris handled Insurrection better, by flatly pointing out how screwed up the politics and the actual moral of the story are.

Jumping off the Redwall discussion, has anyone here read the book Raven Quest? It was nominated for a Silver Birch award about seven or eight years ago (its an award given out to Canadian YA literature) and I thought that it handled talking animals rather well. Its generic as all hell when it comes to plot, but the difference between the super smart ravens, the less clever city dump crows and the wolfpack were pretty well written. I also liked how it treated human interaction and interference as this destructive alien force, where the Two-Legs are mysterious killing machines that invade the wolves territory yet tempt them with their livestock.

So I'm watching SF Debris's review of Howard the Duck and I can't get over the part in the beginning where he states that whoever requested the review did it by sending him money in an envelope with a note telling him to review it.

GBS functions as a 'safe haven' from 'SJW fuckers', who are trying to take over the internet. By saying incredibly stupid poo poo and being racist for a joke but don't worry it is just a joke how could you imply otherwise I've always known to treat people equally all my life you jew haha lol (dont worry thats a joke too), they're actually protecting our freedoms. By saying mean poo poo pointlessly, you are proving you're free, by spiting the people who want to take away your freedom to say it, even if you don't actually mean it. I say 'even if', but when you corner these people and ask them their actual politics, it's invariable been one of two things. Either 'I have no idea' or 'I think patriarchy works really well and was better for everyone, and Hitler really did have a few good ideas if you think about it'. Translation: Sad people who are frustrated about the world trying depserately to be recognised by either saying something they don't believe as a joke, or saying something they do believe as a joke. It's the very-specifically 8chan -style mindset where freedom is the goal, but - how strange! - it appears to mostly be the freedom to talk to no end about how The Bad People are taking over. I just now went to the regular politics board of 8Chan, and one of the top threads, the 'Cultural Art thread', is titled like so: 'In this thread, let us celebrate the Art of the Human race before it's turned into Communist Dykes making GBS threads and bleeding on sheets and declaring it to be art.' It's an obvious thing to notice, but the thread is just a bunch of contextless old paintings. There's no discussion of what makes them good or the artist's names. It's the exact sort of art appreciation you'd expect from a tiny right wing website masquerading as the last bastion of community freedoms. The whole website reads like this, a miserable attempt to not look like what it is, by having threads purely designed to look more like a community and make a website of bitter weirdoes who can't justify their ideas in a straightforward manner easier to swallow. Nothing is enjoyed for its own sake and everything becomes about the SJWs. 'Now THEY can't say we don't do this, because we did! We're spiting the theoretical people who are foolish and stupid and yet somehow have completely taken over! Ironic Hitler Meme!' It's a hilarious website. It's proof that the SJWs/'chimps'/dykes they fear have taken over the internet so completely that, even when the discussion isn't about them, it's about them.
