the first two are collections of short stories, most of which are modern updatings of classic faerie tales - which is an idea that has been done to death over the last 25 years, so they probably seemed a lot fresher when they were originally written in the 1990s

then comes a five-book series of giant doorstop fantasy novels, telling a single giant story with very high stakes and i tapped out about halfway through. the quality of the prose wasn't very good (probably more the translation that any fault with the author), and the plotting just wasn't interesting enough to keep me on board

theyre good if you want to know more about the setting and the characters, but as stories the prose and plotting are serviceable at best

Thanks, I will check them out. :tipshat:

its kind of a hagiography of the builder of the airplane that got japan nuked. whether or not you agree that it was the americans fault there, its awkward

that being said it IS a good film but

he prob should have skipped that one

i liked the movie and, while it is a hagiography, i think it is a little excessive to say that japan got nuked because jiro horikoshi designed a fighter plane.

horikoshi didn't order the attack on pearl harbor, and if he hadn't designed the zero they would have done it anyway with some other sort of plane.

also in a judge vs miyazaki fight if we are putting wind also rises as the bar for making something bad judge is hosed

though its probably a lot cheaper for judge to pinch out a bad pilot for a cable network so he has more opportunities

mike judge is way more talented than seth mcfarlane and the south park kids. he's probably a reactionary but I'll accept that since he's got convictions, and not in a punitive sense

mike judge is a super loving clever and smart person and the biggest curse that he has around his neck, imo, is that idiocracy was shot out as a "haha, but, what if" speculative scifi story, and it ended up being our actual banal reality

but yeah he probably has hot takes on genders and whatnot so i dont wanna excavate too much on what he's been up to in 2022

he has a great eye for poo poo thats hosed up & knows how to turn that into entertaining satire

idk if theres like an oral history of idiocracy but looking at the movie itself, i dont wanna put the eugenics angle on him. it is a complete mess, but the main thesis is "the world is getting stupider" and iirc its only the narration & the family tree bookends that actually make it about poor people having too many goddamn kids

mike judge lets the satire come from reality rather than creating strawmen like alot of terrible satire.

silicon valley is barely fiction. its the reality of tech re-arranged for maximum comedic effect.

the contrast is to donald trump, who was handed a giant pile of money by the parents at age 18, worked tirelessly as a big-shot dealmaker to make it grow into a massive fortune, and managed to go bankrupt four times and require multiple family bailouts

hilton was handed a giant pile of money, told her wealth advisers to manage it for her (mostly in hands-off index funds) while she lived off an allowance (plus whatever she earned doing appearances and endorsements and influencering) and her nest egg has grown a zillion-fold.

if trump had taken his late-70s fortune and just invested most of it in basic index funds (like hilton did) his wealth would be truly astronomical

the point being that paris hilton is one thousand better at being a businesswoman than donald "the art of the deal" trump

i watched malignant and while i agree it was dumb, it wasn't so dumb it was awesome or anything. it was just regular dumb. not terrible, and it wasn't a waste of time, but i could've been watching a move that was so dumb it was fuckin rad (idk like mandy again) or one that wasn't dumb at all
