Jenny Houle (24 KP) rated Fowl Language: Welcome to Parenting in Books
Jan 13, 2018
Brian Gordon captures many moments where parents are their wits' end, trying desperately to remember that they still love their children. In several of the comics, he even talks about that parental feeling of thinking you know what love is, only to have it completely redefined when you have children. This book is great for parents battling between the two ends of the spectrum...
I love that he opened the book with a reminder that the reason airplane flight warning instructions start with "Put your mask on first, then on the faces of those around you who need help" because he's right...if a parents don't take the time to give themselves a little release, how can they be expected to take care of anyone else?
As I was always do, I highlighted my favorite of the comics to return to after: "Parenting is mostly just trying to explain in gentle, age-appropriate terms why being a dumbass and doing dumb shit will fuck your shit up."
Charlie (37 KP) rated Stitch! The Movie (2003) in Movies
Oct 16, 2019 (Updated Oct 16, 2019)
I love Stitch from the very start and I felt like I could relate to Lilo when I was a kid.
The tells you that you can always find people who will love you and you can always break expectations others hold on you. It has a wide variety of characters from the mad scientist, to the secret agent pretending to be a social worker. The animation is smooth and the designs of the characters are great, completely different to other Disney films, which I love. Plus it's about aliens and I am all for that!
Now that I have rambled about it, it's reminded me that I need to rewatch it!

Kim Pook (101 KP) rated The Half of It (2020) in Movies
May 1, 2021
It might sound like a romance movie, but it really isn't. It's more about the friendship between the two characters and its done really well, Aster is only a way of getting these characters closer and isn't a main part of the story. I liked how we see the friendship develop and was refreshing to see a movie where love is not the intention, proving that boys and girls can be just friends.
