I went into Les Mis cautiously optimistic. On the one hand it won pretty much every Golden Globe award, but on the other hand it's a classical period-piece musical set in France with a primarily non-American cast directed by the guy that did The King's Speech, so of course it won those awards. I'd just seen Silver Linings Playbook a few days prior, so I was excited to be surprised again by a film of a generally low-quality genre. To put it simply, Les Mis didn't exactly do that for me.

Rambly Videogame Theory Ideas
I thought
I’d try out a more traditional blogpost just to see how I like it. If I do, I
might sometimes write these up if I’m thinking about something. This is will
likely be completely nonsensical and meaningless. Don’t read it.
This
morning I just started thinking about how if you drew a graph that showed the
amount of people playing games since their creation against the amount of
artistic development in games since their creation (somehow represented in a
numerical form), the amount of people playing games would be vastly larger than
the artistic development. I mean, gaming is (arguably) bigger than film, yet
the amount of art theory for games is minisule in comparison to film. I know
that this is obviously due to the fact that film has been around for about a
hundred years and gaming for only about 40, but it’s still amazing how quickly
gaming has become so popular.

The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) - Mini Review
Hello everyone! Sorry for not having written anything for so long! I'm currently on holiday and want to post reviews again because I haven't in so long, but don't really have the time to post full-length ones, so I'm going to do some mini reviews. If I like the way these go, I might start doing this kind of thing whenever I'm really busy so that I can still be releasing content.
