Cowboy Bebop: Stray Dog Strut

I'm two episodes in to what is considered one of the greatest shows of all time and I've received nothing but filler.

In this episode, Spike is contracted to capture a thief who stole a briefcase from a laboratory, only to find that the case is carrying a corgi. The rest of the episode is Spike and the guy who stole the case trying to get the corgi back. That's it.

I keep waiting for the show to be fantastic, but it's still not there. I've been told I should wait until episode 5 to make my decision, so I've decided to take that advice, however strongly my feelings are that this series is overrated by the anime community.

Bumblebee Review

Among seasoned cinefiles, the Transformers  movies have become punchlines in their own right. While they're not exactly incompetently made, they're generally unpleasant to watch and lack any respect for its source material to the point where it just ceases to be a Transformers  movie. However, even though everybody seems to generally agree how horrible they are on an entertainment or even moral level, the movies have continued to make money hand over fist regardless. Nobody seemed to be figuring out that the movies were awful. That is, until the last one, which at that point was the lowest grossing film in the Transformers franchise. This sudden realization is the reason I think nobody is going to see Bumblebee ; the film hasn't even made its modest $100 million budget back. Was it deserving? Set in the 1980s, an Autobot scout is sent to Earth to defend the planet and prepare a new base for his fellow Autobots. However, his memory is damaged and he is forced to take the

What Movies Are We Gonna Make?

(Note: Please keep in mind that this involves a lot of pure speculation with not a lot of hard numbers to back it up. This is purely for fun.) A long time ago George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese were all sitting in their living rooms watching TV. Although this doesn't sound all that interesting, for these young kids it was an experience. Mob movies, sci-fi serials, monster & samurai movies were all seared into the minds of this young generation of film lovers. These "Movie Brats", as they were called later in life, went on to make some of the greatest movies of all time, drawing inspiration from their childhood movies. A couple of decades later Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez started making movies based off the exploitation grind house movies they loved as kids. This all got me thinking: what kind of movies are this age of film nuts going to make? What wild inspiration will find its way into our screenplays, cinematography and color cod

Please read that before this.  http://connorveenstra.blogspot.com/2016/04/my-pitch-for-better-season-3-of-arrow.html Oliver wakes up in a hospital bed, his head wrapped in bandages. Detective Lance is sitting next to him. He promises Oliver that nobody ever found out. Oliver thanks him as he leaves. The doctor and nurse come in a remove Oliver's bandages, revealing burn marks on almost half of his face. Later, Diggle and Felicity rush in and ask him what happened. He describes the fight on the rooftop and what the Red Hood said about Ra's al Ghul. That can't be right, though, because Ra's has been dead for years. Oliver wants to find out what's going on, but his loved ones force him to stay put. We have a quiet moment between Felicity and Oliver as they ask each other if they're ok. Felicity seems much more distraught, however, and Oliv
