aunt_zeldaPlease note most of this was written as I watched, as a stream of consciousness. Some issues I complain about might have been resolved by the end of the movie. Some ... were not.
Nash is the Cyptkeeper. I am so happy.
Meditation Safety. 6 Days since our last injury!
Do I even wanna know?
Why don't you propose, lady, instead of waiting for him to? Or dump his ass because he's got an addictive personality and forgot to take out the trash and is about to be fired from his job because he is playing too much Skyrim? [Edit: Wow, I'm a psychic!]
I love Malcolm playing the beleaguered best friend, he's awesome. I'm gonna pretend he's Tacoma, ok?
Ooooo, pretty effects!
SEXY SWORD!
Awwwww, this ranger guy is so in awe of fake flowers and the stove.
"We call them the 1%."
*snerk*
Ok NO NO NO NO NO NO.
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.
If a strange, smelly man in weird clothes CARRYING WEAPONS randomly shows up in your house and says he's there to "protect you" and kisses your hand … no. You do not giggle and blush. You are not smitten. You go for the pepper spray. Or nod slowly and humor him until you can call the police.
Someone treating you like an object to protect ain't sexy or flattering, it's RUDE and SEXIST. THIS WRITING MAKES ME WANT TO SMASH THINGS!
That said, lol, she openly flirts with a hot guy in front of her longtime boyfriend.
And he does try to call her out on this problematic issue. Still, they do not address the problem sufficiently, in my opinion. Why doesn't he liken her to the badass women warriors I know exist in Skyrim?
Ahahaha, he gets hired! Hostile takeover, via the Art of War.
"I think I love him."
Oh my god Malcolm STOP IT I will write more Demo Reel fanfic you see if I don't!
Is it wrong that I'm now shipping the three of them?
"Can I use this technique to get laid?"
"Yes."
"But not in the workplace!"
Malcolm's character looks sad at that. Should I write fic of him and Uncle Yo's character?
I just noticed their bedroom is the place where Snob woke up in TBF where Jillian was feeding him truffles.
Gay joke. Oh joy. No nod to Viking culture, which was half-ok with gayness? Nope? Ok. Lazy homophobic assholes.
"We were playing strip Magic the Gathering!"
I wanna play that!
Oh, that's just lovely, they got her so drunk she was ok taking off her clothes and a bunch of them wanted to see her naked while she was too drunk to remember she wasn't wearing pants or underwear. That's just GREAT. *feels ill*
Oh my god is he seriously BLAMING HER FOR GETTING DRUNK WITH HIS WORK FRIENDS AT HER OWN HOME AND BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF???!?!?!?!?
… I have no words, only rage.
At least this scene makes her leave his nasty ass? But it's the double-d boobs that are the final straw, not the victim blaming.
Ok, that bit about considering the world a burden and being bored with just "being" was pretty good and haunting and deep. That bit is good.
"You ruined my life!"
"No … I lived it."
Oooooooo BURN!
Gotta love how even after he's in the game, he hasn't changed his attitude towards Jessica being "his" and an object to be fought over.
I kinda love Doug in a ponytail and button down.
Heeeeeeeee, he trades a flower on his desk for food!
So, overall thoughts … um, at times I got wicked mad but I did laugh a couple times and Doug's character was way too much fun? With a few jokes edited out, I'd have been fine with it. As it stands … eh, problematic at times.

Date: 2013-07-24 06:02 am (UTC)Thomas leaves a bad taste in my mouth too; as someone who practices New Age spirituality, I'm REALLY fucking sick and tired of seeing New Age beliefs being treated as hokum and snake oil. I'm just glad that the Webmaster gave him a black third eye for refusing to clam it.
Nash as the Webmaster makes me ridiculously happy in so many ways, so at least I can look forward to more of his pre-short wit and wisdom.
