Pantheon's animation is not of Pixar quality but is much better than the average animated TV show, it also has very good voice acting, a brilliant script, and pitch perfect music. It is the most intelligent depiction of mind uploading that I have seen in fiction, although I think Artificial Intelligence will get there first. I give it a 10 out of 10.

I was very disappointed to learn that AMC+ has canceled the second season even though production had already begun on it, they even stopped streaming the first season of it for some unknown reason. My hope is that this wonderful series will find a new home at Netflix or Amazon Prime and they finish the second season.

Anybody deciding to watch this movie probably knowns what they're getting into, but even besides the extreme violence I have two problems with it. First of all I think it insults primitive hunter gatherer cultures, I don't believe any existing tribe or any tribe that ever existed behaved in the way depicted in this film. The second problem is it accomplishes something I would not have thought possible, it makes bulldozers in the Amazon look sympathetic. Even if we assume for the sake of argument that such a evil brutal tribe did exist and I had narrowly escaped their clutches after watching my friends being slowly tortured to death I certainly wouldn't lie about what happened in order to protect those monsters, I'd want their culture of pain and murder exterminated. Yes yes I know, the tribe had a legitimate grievance against western civilization and I have a legitimate grievance against Adolf Hitler, but if he were standing in front of me right now I wouldn't rip him apart with my teeth and eat him alive.

Melancholia is easily the worst movie I have ever spent money to see, or at least the first hour is, I can't comment on the remainder because I did something I have not done in over 25 years, I walked out of the theater before the movie was over. This turkey gives us a "plot" that is pretentious amateurish ridiculous and dull, characters with vapid dialog who emote with LONG vacant stares at the camera and try to convince us (unsuccessfully) that their melancholia means they are deep and not just self indulgent or have a chemical imbalance, and those aren't even the worst things about this movie.

If Mr. von Trier can't give us something interesting to think about he could have at least presented something for us to look at without making one seasick, but apparently Mr.von Trier got a new zoom lens for his birthday and he was eager to try it out, so he zooms in, and then he zooms out, and then he zooms in, and then he zooms out again, and then he zooms way way way in and figures that would be the perfect time for a swish pan, and all the time he's playing with the zoom he's holding the camera as if fire ants were crawling up his pant legs and he was trying to shake them off. And I'm not just talking about one bad scene I'm talking about the entire first hour, perhaps the entire movie but I wouldn't know about that. Even Ed Wood knew more about how to move a camera than Mr.von Trier, I'm serious, Plan Nine from Outer Space showed more technical skill than Melancholia; so I would humbly suggest that before Mr.von Trier makes another home movie he sell his zoom lens and use the money to buy a tripod.
