Joy, Love, and Childhood Wonder, A True Masterpiece
This is a simple movie that is a perfect representation of what a movie should do in the simplest way. It makes you feel something. It doesn't have an elaborate plot or idea. It is just two little girls living life with joy and some nature spirits. Yet it is the most emotionally invested I've been in a movie possibly my entire life. In a world full of sad news all the time and daily stress this movie makes me forget all problems in my life and just enjoy the spectacle of childhood wonder.

I actually kinda l liked this...a lot.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this. Things to do with prison put me off a bit put this was written in a way so that we only really saw how it affected our boys' relationship.

That bit when he was talking about when he got out and Xavier kissed him hard, I was all sad like, and it was obvious to me then that emotions had become involved over the year.

I'm happy our boys got together in the end and I wouldn't mind reading more of this series at some point in the future.

I'm not sure about this story. Half the time I didn't understand their relationship and the other half I was swooning. It was a little strange.

One minute I liked Twitch, the next not so much. And then it would be repeated. I just found it all a little odd but at the same time I couldn't stop reading it. Hence the three star rating.

That ending had me in tears! And then that extra little bit has made me need to read the next one. WTF? You can't make me sad and then surprise me like that, it isn't a good look on me lol.

Love the amount of impact your decisions have on the game. (1 more)
Wuld Wasteland is a great perk!
Very glitch heavy. (0 more)
Good, but glitchy
I had to start this game again because I ran into a big glitch that stopped me completing the main story.
Sadly, this was not the only glitch I encountered.
The issue was Obsidian were given a very short amount of time to make the game, considering that, it is still a great game.
While the compleationist in me is sad I was unable to do all the challenges I wanted, it was still brilliant!
Now to resist starting again and siding with the legion.

Alan Arkin recommended La Dolce Vita (1960) in Movies (curated)

 
La Dolce Vita  (1960)
La Dolce Vita (1960)
1960 | Comedy, Drama

"When La dolce vita first came out, I felt that it was the most visually stunning and provocative film I had ever seen. It remains a jaw-dropping high-wire act, constantly stunning us with its energy, its imagination, its movement, its surprises—in both story and imagery—its wit, the brilliance of its camerawork, costumes, and music, with an endless parade of memorable characters. It’s so rich and entertaining and exciting in its execution that we almost completely forget how terribly sad is the plight of its lead character. And if anyone cares to look, it is the Gospel according to Matthew turned upside down."
