1923   What happened this year? Hey, remember that hyperinflation of German currency I mentioned last time? Well, it kinda hit its peak this year. Specifically, it got to the point where 1 German mark grew to the equivalent of 4.2 trillion dollars! (I feel there's a box office joke I should be probably making right now,... Continue Reading →

Yeah, the title's kinda self evident for this one, isn't it? Okay, to explain in a little more detail, I recently tried to make myself a list of my all time favourite movies, out of all those I've seen. While I was admiring my naturally perfect and impeccable taste, I couldn't help but notice how lacking said... Continue Reading →

Author's Note: This story is a direct sequel to The Day of Prime. It is suggested you read that story first before continuing with this. The Kingdom of Varia: Year 8392 DE (later re-calendared as 001 AG) The Kingdom of Varia had been saved by a miracle. Blasphemous as it might be to say, there was really... Continue Reading →

1. Spiderman: Into the Spider-Verse You know, there's been a funny pattern with my No 1's in the last three years. Not just that they're all animated movies, which they are, or they all have unique offbeat animation, which they do. No, the funny thing is that when they initially placed on my end-of-year list, none of... Continue Reading →
