Grey Liliy's Journal

Originally, I was just going to crosspost and backdate this with nothing added, but then I read the post and I realized...I did not remember that I owned Tron: Evolution. I didn't even remember that I played it (or rather, made my brother play it). I have completely blocked that memory, and after reading that post, a little bit of a memory has come back. But wow. That's fun.

Anyway, while I'm here, I might as well talk about my Tron feelings over 10 years since I wrote the post below:

Tron: Legacy is still one of my all time favorite movies. Tron: Uprising is amazing and you should watch it.

That's all I've got. Now enjoy this post originally posted to Tumblr on February 12, 2013:

I’ve decided to write up my experiences with Tron, and how I feel about each of its many parts in the order of when I encountered them. Why, you ask? Because, why not? That’s why. I enjoy shouting my opinions into the open air for people to read or not read at their leisure.

Don’t look at me like that.

It’s long so - below the cut we go! :D

 It's fun when you can pinpoint the moment in a fanfic that you lost most of your readers. LOL.

When chapters go from 10 to 12 comments per chapter and then plummet to 4 to 5 and then down to 1, it's pretty clear where you lost them. Heh.

I'm trying not to let it bother me, because I'd still go that direction with the story if I did it all over again, but it still sucks to lose half your readers. XD 

Tucker and Dale vs Evil may be one of the funniest films I have ever seen in my life that also has a wonderful message about judging others. 10/10 reccomend.

A parody of slasher horror like Texas Chainsaw Massacre, this film takes Miscommunication and assumptions and turns them up to 11 resulting in some brutal, cartoonish deaths and some of the most likeable protagonists you've ever seen in your life.

And don't get me started on how much I unironically like Chad and Jesse Moss' portrayl of him. Top ten movie bad guy material for me. (I have such a crush. Ha ha ha ha.)

I won't say anything more because this is a film I truly don't want to spoil for you or even tempt you to read spoilers.

If you can handle bloody, violent fun--please, please watch it. You will have a great time!

Bluesky Liveblog and Mini Review

9/10 fantastic film. Psycho holds up and is absolutely worth the watch if you haven't seen this classic yet.

Literally the only reason it isn't a 10/10 for me is becuase I laughed at all the death scenes. They did not age as well as the rest of the film.

Norman Bates is charasmatic and adorable in a way that makes you almost root for him. The way the movie handles Norman and his mother do such a great job of hiding the reveal that (most) know already due to the film being so old. (Cheers for "Rosebud" spoilers.)

It's also fun watching this film from a historical context. It's rated R and was absolutely schocking upon its release (A woman was shown in her bra! The "gore" of the shower scene! Crossdressing!), but now I struggle to see this film getting anything worse than a PG-13 rating.

Times in cinema have certainly changed.

All the same, this film is 100% worth watching for Norman Bates alone and I hope you check it out!

My Bluesky Liveblog and Mini Review

 So, in what I can only call a fit of madness, I decided to download and use the app Indyx after seeing one Youtube Video fashion lady. I am now in the process of trying to sort and catalog all of my clothes, not only in the app, but on a Google Spreadsheet because if I'm going to go to all this work, I want it in a second place. It slows down the process a lot, but at least the part of my brain that loves spreadsheets and organizing digital items is happy.

That said, I am learning that I have SO MANY CLOTHES. Oh my gosh. It's barely processing that over the years I've gotten rid of like 10 garbage bags worth of clothes and still have this many left. XD I am full on summoning Marie Kondo as I dump things on the bed and really think about "Do I want this?" again. 

THAT SAID. I do hope the app does it's goal of reminding me what stuff I do have. Like. I love cute clothes. I love fashion. Style Savvy and the Nikki games are some of my favorites. I like looking at cute clothes. I just don't usually have the energy to lay out outfits or do anything more than grab the closest thing on hand when I get up in the morning.

I'm crossing my fingers this app will encourage me to wear more of my cute things and actually swap out my purses to match. 

At the very least, I feel productive. XD

I wonder if crossposting (and back dating) old Tumblr essays would get me back into the grove of both writing them and being more active here.

I do miss having more Post with Comment conversation style internet socializing.

Plus the tag trees here are so satisfying. I want to fill them. XD

Edit 10/6: Screw it. I'm going to crosspost some essays. I'm going to beat the anxiety down one post at a time. XD Maybe not today, but I will do it. Some time.

Edit 10/11: The crossposting has begun. For both Tumblr and CoHost & this is my last update on it. Lol.
