2024 MEDIA LOG
MOVIES
I plan on watching at least 1 movie a week every week this year. This page will document what movie I watched and what I thought about it!
WEEK 10 (3.7.24) - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
I'm watching this movie cause ariana grandes new album coming out tonight is named after it so i thought it would be fun to watch it before the album comes out. I didnt really expect to feel crazy about this movie but i really liked it. the shots and editing are really cool im a big fan of good or unique editing. also just the entire plot of the movie is really interesting i never felt bored! W movie tbh i quite liked it!
WEEK 9 (3.1.24) - AMERICAN PSYCHO
GOOFIN' & GOOPIN' MOVIE NIGHT 2
Ive already seen this movie and its still one of my favorite movies of all time man its so good.
WEEK 8 (2.23.24) - WEATHERING WITH YOU
hodaka got opps fr
WEEK 7 (2.16.24) - MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO
FIRST GOOFIN' & GOOPIN' MOVIE NIGHT!!!!! A lot of my friends have never seen most studio ghibli movies (including me) so we are kicking off the beginning of our movie nights with my neighber totoro!! i think i like ponyo and spirited away more, but still a really good and beautiful movie and was really fun to watch it with all my buddies!!!
WEEK 6 (2.7.24) - your name.
man that scene of taki going through the fabrics of time where its all rainbow was beautiful. also i realize ive almost only watched anime movies so far i need to stop idk why im watching so many i dont like anime all that much im not a geek i swear
WEEK 5 (1.30.24) - ROBOCOP
classic movie was fun to watch on my crt. i really liked the stop motion on the big robot guy
WEEK 4 (1.24.24) - NEON GENESIS EVANGELION 3.33 YOU CAN (NOT) REDO
i honestly didnt really like this movie sorry sports fans. it gave me the same feeling you get from reboots of classic tv shows that completely miss the mark idk!! also the animation in this one is different and looks really weird i cant quite put my finger on it but the characters looks weird. they also use cgi too much and it looks goofy. there were some tropy lines as well like yelling activate when starting the ship or the eva was silly more of a nitpick but didnt like it regardless. there are still elements i like but overall not a massive fan.
as for the whole series (as of now) i think it is sorta a waste. the 2nd movie was really good but the first was alright and this one was kinda bad. it had to be a lot more rushed since its condensed into movies but i feel like they focused on the wrong parts sometimes leading to the characters not being as likable. for example, i was already not really a fan of asuka in the show but her one redeeming quality to me wasnt really touched on in the movies. she never really talks about her personal issues and is just a brick wall the whole time. i get theres another movie coming but still feels like that should have been introduced by now. yeah i could probably go on for a while about why i dont like it but i dont wanna so yeah sorry. maybe im just an eva old head and im blind to the new school hip movies i dont know
also i found out the 4th movie is already out idk how im so stupid obv 3.0+1.0 is the 4th idk i thought it was some special release of the 3rd movie i will watch that next
WEEK 3 (1.18.24) - NEON GENESIS EVANGELION 2.22 YOU CAN (NOT) ADVANCE
this movie rules a whole lot more than the last one i dont know if i get why they introduced the new girl character but maybe will be explained more in the next movie idk. but i loved shinji and reis characters and how they interacted in this they are my favorite characters and i think i liked how they were portrayed more in this than the show!!
WEEK 2 (1.12.24) - NEON GENESIS EVANGELION 1.11 YOU ARE (NOT) ALONE
Its been almost a year since i watched the anime now im finally getting around to watching this. I love the theming of these movies even though i havent seen them yet as is obvious by me labeling versions of this site as 1.11,2.22,3.33 and so on. I also think the titles like you are (not) alone is really cool.
This movie was really cool but kinda just because evangelion was cool I dont really see the point unless the next movies change more which im sure they will. but this movie was just evangelion trimmed down so still good just not really necessary imo!
WEEK 1 (1.6.24) - GHOST IN THE SHELL
The aesthetics of this movie are so cool!!!! the city looks super cool its like a dark version of neo tokyo from akira. I thought I would really like this movie just based on what I had seen of it and I did like it but I also didnt really love the plot. It was still good though just hte plot felt a little lackluster to me for some reason. Other than that really good movie I really enjoyed it!!
ALBUMS
Im also doing this with albums I think
WEEK 10 (3.7.24) - eternal sunshine - Ariana Grande
bye is song of the year i reckon
WEEK 9 (3.2.24) - BLUE LIPS - ScHoolboy Q
thank god 4 me and blue slides are top 5 songs of the year so far and thats coming from me a big kanye fan
WEEK 8 (2.20.24) - Lonerism - Tame Impala
Feels Like We Only Go Backwards was my first tame impala song and is my favorite song of his. for some reason i listened to currents and the slow rush before this i guess i just like listening to latest releases first idk
WEEK 7 (2.16.24) - SCRAPYARD - Quadeca
i love this for 2 reasons 1. the songs are great and 2. it compiles all the scrapyards into one release so i will be able to listen to them easier now thank you quadeca..... the new songs are super cool they are a lot rawer than the ones that were already released mostly. texas blue is a great song i already know thats gonna be in rotation for a while
WEEK 6 (2.9.24) - VULTURES 1 - Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign
i cant believe it actually came out!! it didnt feel real/official at first but it was real and its better than expected!! i thought this album was gonna be a little all over the place, but he cut some songs (hopefully will be on other volumes) and this tracklist fits together pretty nicely. its super dark and gives yeezus vibes so i really like it. carnival ended up being way better than i expected as well. my fav song might be GOOD (DONT DIE) or BURN or PROBLEMATIC idk yet
WEEK 5 (1.27.24) - Currents - Tame Impala & Heaven Knows - Pink Pantheress
i dont really like writing stuff about every album i dont have much input to add ill probably rework this page soon but yeah i like this album its realyl good
super cool album i wiggle my toes to this
WEEK 4 (1.23.24) - LP! OFFLINE - JPEGMAFIA
JPEGMAFIA has been at the top of my list of artists to listen to for a while now, and when scaring the hoes came out i listened to that and really liked it now i am checking LP! out!!!
WEEK 3 (1.14.24) - hypochondriac - brakence & DOA - ericdoa
first time listening to brakence outside of his feature on a la carte by quadeca and whatever songs my friend plays in the car. the transitions between songs are really nice!! my favorite songs here are stung, intellectual greed, & 5g. I dont listen to much hyperpop/glitchpop (yet) but based on the hype this album gets and just how good it is imo I 100% recommend it even if you dont think youd like this type of music cause I didnt think I would until recently so give it a darn shot!!
dancinwithsomebawdy is a perfect song tbh!! rest of the album is great too
WEEK 2 (1.12.24) - american dream - 21 Savage & INSANO - Kid Cudi
Lots of new music today!!! Starting with the 21 Savage Album. Some favorite of mine off first listen are née-nah, dark days, & prove it. Pretty good album, but didnt knock my socks off. lyrics can be pretty goofy as usual but also a lot of songs start with samples and they never let the sample ride which is a little underwhelming.
Not really going into this one too excited since kid cudi has been pretty hit or miss lately and i didnt like the singles but I am open to cudi surprising me! It has DJ Drama on it which is getting pretty tired at this point. I gotta say this album really isnt good but I expected that. the XXXTENTACION feature just being one of his already released songs with cudi on it is really funny leave the man alone
WEEK 1 (1.1.24) - Super Departure - i-dep
I have already been listening to 'Sign of Summer' off this album for a while, but recently decided to give the full album a listen. Its really good the highlights for me are "Sign of Summer', 'Don't Stop', & 'ジャンプ!'. Def recommend it if you are interested in japanese jazz/electro etc.!!!
OTHER STUFF
just for logging sakes, ill also put any other media I consume in this section like shows, books, etc.
SCOTT PILGRIM TAKES OFF

THE CURSE
i hecking love nathan fielder!!!! this show is so uncomfortable but really funny i quite liked it
