Film Corner ~ Mean Girls

 I actually saw this movie a while ago, but I saw it again yesterday. So, I thought I'd share my thoughts. Scale: -10 to 10 Quality: -2 (40%) Quality Summary: Its lack of any effects or, really, any good cinematography is what fuels this low score. Luckily, everything else is great, so I quickly shoved aside the lack of important lighting. Characters: 9 (95%) Character Summary: Janis, Cady, Regina... pretty much everyone is terrifyingly realistic. And, most of them are relatable in so many ways. Not all of them, but most of them. Hell, even when things go fricking mad  (you all know that scene), it's still believable to an extent. I want to give them a solid ten but I think a 9 should suffice. Premise/Plot: 7 (85%) Premise Summary: The premise is... okay at best. But the plot really shines; it feels so extremely real. If you're in high school or even just junior high, you can very much relate to this film. If you're an adult, though, it can bring some... no

Film Corner ~ Speed

So, I'm trying something different. I know this is a "Writing Corner" but I have a lot of work to do so I can't really post the usual posts or even Sketchcrap, so I'm doing these quick unedited reviews. 1. Speed Scale: -10 to 10 Quality: 7 (85%) Quality Summary: The stunts and practical effects were very pleasing to the eye, a rare occurence for an action movie. The acting was very real and, hell- this whole movie feels real . I only take off points because the movie stays very safe and I feel that experimentation, while always being a risk, would help this movie feel a little bit less bland. Characters: 4 (60%) Character Summary: The characters were fine. I mean, the plot in this case was more engaging than the characters and it's clear that the focus is the plot, but I feel like some chemistry and development would be nice. Again, I know it's an action movie, and character development is a rarity among that genre, but... still. Also, Jack and

Sketchcrap #1 - Scrappy the Seadog

Image
You might notice this is a new kind of post. Well, it is. I'm planning on posting art of actual quality every month in a huge post, but until then I'm starting this series of deliberately half-assed drawings. Using a prompt, I'm drawing random furry characters to try to keep myself happy before I move on to a real project... filler, if you will. Random Info- Shading: Yes Color: Yes Effort: 26% Songs I Was Listening To: Cryin' (Aerosmith), Radioactive (Imagine Dragons) Stuff I Was Thinking About: Fillerbunny

Writer's Corner #3: Taking Breaks

Writer's Corner #3 Taking Breaks I: The Effects of Stress "None of us like stress-" is that a reasonable statement? While each of us handles the stress of our daily lives differently, the negative effects stress has on health stays the same. It prevents you from feeling happy and makes hobbies feel more like a chore. In fact, you could even compare being under a lot of stress to a sort of mini-depression. Heck, it might even be the cause of depression for some people. Here I've listed the many problems that come with stress: - body pains like headaches, chest pain, and an upset stomach are common symptoms of stress - other negative effects include anxiety, lack of motivation, and anger II: Procrastination Of course, taking too long a break can lead to... issues. The short breaks can be a mistake, and lead to necessary work being incomplete. This is an issue especially for students, as taking a break from creative writing can also mean taking a break from
