Movies and Irritated Rambling
Just saw Wreck-It Ralph for the second time, this time with Brother's parents. They loved it too, and it was fun sitting in a theatre full of people who laughed at the jokes, and waiting to see if there were Gamers watching to get some of the finer ones. I love that it's one of those movies that is geared toward both kids *and* older audiences who remember some of the classic games they reference. Although I have to listen to the soundtrack as soon as it's over, because the theme song for Sugar Rush gets stuck in my head EVERY TIME. Also, I WANT THAT GAME TO BE REAL! ♥
Then I got home and checked my e-mail, where I found a review for Bright Skies that is both flame and compliment. I should ignore it. I *know* this. But honestly? Some of the comments they left *really* pissed me off. I'm glad they kind of like the story, but at the same time they insulted half of what makes Bright Skies .... Bright Skies.* I'm ... indignant, I guess. And a little offended.
I'd list some of the things that made me so angry here, but I'm trying to convince myself to take the path of least aggression. And trying to remind myself of how many people have told me they love it for exactly the same things this person was complaining about. I guess I'm so annoyed/irritated because Bright Skies is one of My Epic Babies as far as fanfiction goes, and I'm very protective of it. >.O And I've always been a bit sensitive about the few flames I *have* gotten, even if they're rare. -Is a baby-
... Oh. That explains it. This is the same person who commented on A Tale of Five Carsons. I thought that style of review seemed familiar.
On a lighter note, I found this on Twitter just before I posted. It's very heartening to read. ♥ Even if my NaNo has been stuck for a week and is so far behind it's highly unlikely I'll finish.
