You like like me, but did I like like you? - The Bob's Burgers Movie (Spoilers)

Hello whoever might be out there, 

I finally watched The Bob's Burgers Movie. I'm doing a chronological watch through, so it was tough resisting temptation and holding out until the end of season 12 to finally watch it. You know Year 11 summer is going well when your plans for the whole day consist entirely of eating mac and cheese and watching a film. I had this day all hyped up in my head for days (had to wait until everybody was out of the house for big TV privileges).

After about five trips to the kitchen, fetching various snacks and drinks, I was ready. I hit play.

It was peak.

For the first half an hour or so.

I do not like the Fischoeders. I understand why they are there as characters, and I can appreciate how they are written, but I can not stand them. I know that is partially on purpose - they're the rich, corrupt, landlords, why would you like them?

It's not called The Fischoeders Movie. And I know it is twisted so that helping the Fischoeders helps the Belchers, but I simply did not care. And I don't know how to word that in a way that makes this blog interesting to read, sorry.

The music slaps though, well the songs we got. Did they forget this was supposed to be a musical? Was it supposed to be a musical? One of Bob's Burgers biggest strengths is the songs! 

I felt very underwhelmed by the film. It wasn't bad by any means, it is just that the show has such a high quality that I made the assumption that a full film would maintain the same quality throughout with ease. Louise's character development was by far the best thing about this film. Well, it's between that and Linda's burger bikini costume. Or maybe being fed crumbs of Bob lore. No, definitely Louise.

Maybe I just don't like seeing my favourite characters in near death situations? Let's go with that.

Yours faithfully, MD

Lego Friends: Girlz 4 Life

Hello whoever might be out there, I love charity shops, because you can find some absolute gold in there; such as today where I found a Lego Friends DVD that I had honestly forgotten about when writing my previous posts regarding the franchise. That is the Girlz 4 Life movie. This film was released in 2016 and captures everything that I believe to be wrong with the 2012 version of Lego Friends. Don't get me wrong, it was a good film and is the standard for what every film for a younger audience should be; short, entertaining, and annoyingly unrealistic. I mean, how do you just conveniently manage to get into a press conference for supposedly the biggest in universe celebrity? I made a few notes while watching. Nerdy? Yes. But I knew I would want to talk about this on here so I kept receipts, and I am so glad I did. And in case you haven't already caught on, there will be spoilers. There was one specific moment that made me literally pause the film to pull out my phone. There is...

Welcome

Hello whoever might be out there, I have always had such a strong passion for writing and rambling, so where better to do that than a blog? I have opinions on a lot of things, and sometimes yelling them out into the void of the internet will do me some good. Letting my words linger for eternity has a slight scariness to it though, the fact something so innocent and irrelevant as a mere blog post can linger for all of eternity. But I am making the conscious decision to take comfort in that fact. To know that even if I am no longer here, my words will be. Forever immortalised as an anonymous blog poster.  I want to be as anonymous as possible, if that even is possible? I am not going to do one of those fun facts about myself lists, that sort of information will just be fed in drips and drabs over time. The only information I feel is actually relevant is that I am a teenager from England. I want to give people something to think about. Something to mellow over in their spare time. I a...

Lego Friends thoughts

Hello whoever might be out there, I love Lego Friends. It is a interest that has stuck with me ever since I was six years old, so much so that it influenced my choice in name change (no, Mae is not my real name). I was there for the OG five with their OG designs. Mia, Emma, Olivia, Stephanie, and Andrea. I have seen the drama over the 2018 redesign. I have seen even more drama over the 2023 overhaul. Nova, Autumn, Liann, Leo, Olly, Zac, Paisley, and Aliya. I love it. To (not so) briefly outline, the original designs of the five girls were extremely non-diverse and stereotypical. Four out of the five girls were white, and even then Andrea was simply the token "slightly darker skinned" girl. From left to right: Mia was ginger and liked animals but notably, unlike the other girls, wears trousers!; Emma was black-haired and liked art and karate. Andrea was, as I previously stated, the token non-white girl with brown curly hair, and she liked singing; Stephanie was blonde and like...
