Die Another Day (2002)

I like it, but...

[13 December 2002]

this doesn't have the best plot, or the greatest logic, but what movie does? The action scenes are cool, but not as good as Tomorrow Never Dies. Oh, and the only car chase was with the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish, if I know this movie right. Interesting plot twists, but not like in TWINE. So, this movie can be compared in any way to the other Pierce Brosnan Bond films. 7/10

SSX Tricky (2001 Video Game)

It's Tricky

[11 September 2002]

First off, this game is one of the only fantasy snow boarding games. The other is its predecessor, SSX. Next, the "Tricky" song is a bit grating after a while. But the whole sound track is great. I love the outrageous tricks, and I also like the TRICKY system. Do six Uber tricks, get infinite boost. The Uber tricks vary from character to character, which is great. Rohzel, well, is, annoying. But the characters' comments can be great. Ooh, the sharpness. And the simplicity of it all. Good for beginners, hard enough for Masters. It took me more than 2-3 weeks to get Kaori to a master. And since then, I have gotten everything for: Kaori, Psymon, Marisol, and Elise. I'm trying with JP and Zoe.

The Wild Thornberrys (1998–2004)

This sucks

[2 September 2002]

When I first saw this show, I wasn't inclined to sit through a whole episode. But I did. None of it makes sense. First off, the animals know the names that humans call them. Second, the animals are stereotyped. Third, the animals are gullible idiots. And last, the family doesn't remember anything from the last episode. That's what I needed to say.

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)

I like this better than AOTC

[17 August 2002]

This isn't the best movie, but it is way better than AOTC. It's got a deeper and more understandable plot, better character emotions, a few of the best characters in the seires, and a stone cold decoy queen. Darth Maul is my favorite character. I want his lightsaber.

Final Fantasy X (2001 Video Game)

Perfect.

[10/10 · 16 August 2002]

This is the best of the seires, genre, etc. It has the most realistic graphics in a video game. But only in the CGI videos. It also goes back to FF4, having a CTB battle gauge, instead of an ATB. It's very easy to catch on to, and a lot of fun to play. There is only one minigame, but it is BIG. It's called Blitzball. I love this game. I've also played FFVIII, and it pales in comparison to this. I also like that they have voices now. But their lips don't sync to their voices. Oh, well. It's early in the seires. They'll do better in future games. 10/10

Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec (2001 Video Game)

Perrrrrrrrrfect!

[10/10 · 15 August 2002]

This is the best of the series. The only thing different from the other games are; better graphics, different car selection (I won't say more cars, because GT2 has the biggest selection), and some different tracks. The cars have taken on a life of their own. All the cars have realistic feels to them. GT1 and 2 did, but did they look this good? I don't think so. The only complaint I have is that they took out Motor Sports Land. Even though that was a slow and small track, it was at a challenging enough to like. But all the other tracks make up for it. I also like that now you can upgrade the racing cars, but not that you can't make your own. I also like that your car now has oil. It makes more sense. But, unlike GT2, their isn't any damage. Well, what's the plot, besides racing and suping up your car? Nothing. There's no reason for one. Just race. I also like the soundtrack. Some songs aren't the best, but the title song ("Are You Gonna Go My Way? (Gran Turismo Remix) is great. I also like "99 Red Balloons". Oh, and unlike GT1 and like GT2, in GT3, you can use your customized cars in arcade mode. And even though it doesn't look like it from the car select menu, if you go into the Settings option, look at the bottom of the screen. It'll say the horsepower of the car.I like to whip the computer's butt. Most of the time, you can beat 'em, if you have a strong enough car (strong as in HP).It's rewarding to race for hours, looking to win a new car, and on the final strip on the last lap, about 50m from the finish line, with no one in your mirror (because you're to far ahead, duh), than go to the left side of the track, hit the handbrake, and spin right across the finish line. SWEEEEEEETTTTTT!

SpongeBob SquarePants (1999– )

I love this show

[14 August 2002]

Okay, I'm gonna say this as fast as I can: IloveSpongebobit'smyfavoriteshowIespeciallylikeSquidward. Ok. I'm done. I like Squidward. He's my favorite character. Are ya ready, kids? Aye aye, Captain! I can't hear you! AYE AYE, CAPTAIN! Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh, who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Spongebob Squarepants!

Butt-Ugly Martians (2001)

Poor concept, sh*ty execution

[12 August 2002]

This is the most horrible show I've ever seen. Period. There are no good points that I can name.

SPOILERS! SPOILERS!

This is about three kids, five martians (two trying to take over the world), an alien hunter (as he calls himself), a robotic dog, a fast food geek, and in the first episode, one of the kids parents that never come home.

Stack, Soucie, and Paulsen are the only veteran actors. The others are just there.

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)

This thing just plain sucks!

[8/10 · 1 August 2002]

This is the only Star Wars movie that I hate. The love story between Padme (Portman) & Anakin (Christensen) was not well played.

SPOILERS!!! SPOILERS!!!

This is about a young Jedi named Anakin Skywalker (I am your father) and his teacher, Obi-Wan. They are hired to protect Padme, a senator. Anakin and Padme fall deeply in love. Count Dooku (sith lord) is trying to get a lot of planets to leave the Galactic Republic. Meanwhile, the Republic (the Empire in later movies) gets an order of a couple thousand clones (Storm Troopers, duh) to fight the others.

I liked it the time I saw it, but as I thought about it, it got worse. But I kept thinking about it, and it got more respectable. I give it a 6 out of 10. The love story was horribly portrayed, and the only good actor in the movie was Frank Oz (Yoda, Ms. Piggy the Muppet). I liked everything but the love story, which took about 4/10's of the movie, which is why I gave it a 6. If the love story (if even that) had been portrayed better, this would have been the best in the bunch. Episode III has got to be one helluva movie.

ChalkZone (1998–2009)

THIS IS CRAP!

[22 July 2002]

Alrighty. This show has (takes deep breath): horrid animation, bad writing, not new material, crappy character names, a futile love thingy, and (drum roll, please) it was made by the same creator of the equally horrid show; FAIRLY ODDPARENTS!

Spoilers!

The show is about a kid named Rudy, who travels through the Chalk Zone with Penny (his futile attempt at love) and Snap, a drawing that Rudy drew. Stupid, if you ask me. All of the jokes are for 5 or 6 year olds. And even with that statement, I can't imagine why THEY find it funny, either. But, alas, there is a good side to it. Clasky-Csupo own 3/4 of the cartoons on Nick. But, fighting to keep Nick from becoming C-C fodder is: Invader ZIM (one of the strongest fighters, but will be canceled after Christmas), Spongebob Squarepants (another strong fighter, but will be canceled, too), Hey Arnold (another one, and will be canceled), The Fairly Oddparents, Chalk Zone, The Butt Ugly Martians (shudder), and that's about it.
