I'm a dishwasher at a local casino's cafe. Not a big surprise...and I've already worked two days by the time I posted this journal. Side note: I slipped and fell on a wet floor --- even though I was warned --- on my first night. I'm still okay...even though three plastic boards fell on me shortly after I fell.
Anyways, I got to see the Sonic Movie with my dad: it's worth it. Using new and old elements from across the franchise's 29 years of Sonic's media, including Sonic Mania's trailer song being played in the first three minutes of the film, references to past games and media, and with Jim Carrey having a blast with playing the role of Robotnik/Eggman.
Sadly, my friend
evilcat23 shared this with me on Discord last night:
cdn.discordapp.com/attachments…This is a screenshot from the animated Dragon Rider movie, featuring from left to right Sorrel, Ben, and Firedrake. The novel itself is worth reading all 517 pages --- excluding the prequel chapter --- or even listening to, depending on your method of choice. The movie however does have leaked character descriptions, with Ben and Firedrake's character adaptations being horrid to the point where this might as well be a copy-cat film of something else. Sorrel is the ONLY ONE who's character is identical to the novel's depiction of her, but we can all agree that it's not going to be enough. I'm not saying this movie is going to flop; I'm saying this is gonna be an XK-Class box office apocalypse. How do I know? Because (correct me if I'm wrong)
evilcat23 has come across some people online --- even Mrs. Funke herself --- and found out about the changes that's been made to the WHOLE story: it won't even deliver the same message the novel it vandalized delivers.
