 Why do film companies feel obliged to put children in their films for no other reason but engage younger fans. Why would parents let there children fight ghosts, dinosaurs and other threats. They always come up with some cliched roundabout response boiling down to "eh."

And why do so many horror films feature little kids as the devil's incarnate or some force of obscene evil. Once was fine with the exorcist, but after that, it has just become an epidemic. I get it, children are meant to be innocent and this harsh juxtaposition exemplifies the unsettling nature of whatever the artistic vision is, but why so much.

Also, Superman better be good, I lack hope however, as the trailer had so much going on. Pacing is an issue today. Just let me sit down and engage with the characters and see them develop beyond the point of "I was weak. I got knocked down. Take a pill of resilience. Montage maybe. Epic fight. Almost get knocked down. Realising family and friends have always been there for you. Realise your power came from within. Win. Then spin off into 8 sequels of increasingly meaningless money-grabbing attempts by media executives.

Creative expression is all that matters. Money was meant to be a coincidental product of that.

If you want to watch a good film, watch The Holdovers, or Taxi Driver, or anything else.

And damn the corporate monopolies, I'm looking at you Meta and Disney. Leave us alone. Stop sucking the magic out of human creative expression and monetising our attention. You bloodsucking leaches. I would order a full-scale coupe if I had the arms, support, funding, legal backing, government support, a louder voice, tactics, and a mindset like Mussolini. I don't however, so just keep waiting.

These tangents are getting out of hand. Bye.

My favourite aspect of any piece of media, whether it be stories, film, music or art, is character development. If there ceases to be any character development, if there are no consequences or changes in a character proceeding their past actions, I don't want to experience it. For example, I enjoy television shows like Amphibia, Gravity Falls, Home Movies and the Regular Show because I am not only entertained by the storytelling and dialogue, but also because I care about the characters and what will happen to them next. If a character is the same in every instance, why should I care, I know what will happen to them next; these characters are simply unnatural, and although realism is not at all a core aspect of media, consequences and change are fundamental aspects of storytelling. Even sitcoms such as the Simpsons have loose character development which can suffice. When I was a baby, I watched shows because of cool colours and pictures (like Pocoyo), but as I grew, I was introduce...

There is one sole person in this world who I despise. I won't name them of course, but I truly do regard them with abject pity. I have no respect for this person at all, they simply do not deserve it. I will be happy when I am away from them permanently; till then, I will try to avoid them as much as possible. I would speak with them, but there are some people in this world you simply cannot win an argument with. Writing with anger in my veins for the hours this person has taken from me; but it's almost over.

There is something so fatalistic about GCSEs. The exam is over now, and there is nothing I can do about it, and you don't care, but I'm going to tell you what I wrote so you can give a forced "ok" or "that's good" so I can feel slightly better while showing off to others to validate my position in this world - I just don't understand why people do this. Don't try to estimate my age, I'm a 40 year old living in a small bungalow off the coast of West Africa.
