So I took a deep breath and forced myself to watch Manaphy and the Prince of the Sea. It was better than the manga adaptation. Marginally. The beginning was the only good thing about it because Jackie is awesome. How it tricks you into believing you're getting into something good! I even prepared myself for watching the damn movie:

I still think skeleton pirates like Cortez or Barbossa should've been in this film. )

Yet even with the breathing mask and bird-watching for Jackie could prepare me for just how AWFUL this movie is. It sucked!

Manaphy movie: The Little Mermaid meets a watered-down (haha) version of Raiders of the Lost Ark. With Donkey Kong in a pirate suit as the bad guy. Seriously! He lifts a boulder twice his size and it's the closest to a barrel he ever gets to throw at Jackie. Or anyone else. In his own movie, Jackie isn't allowed to do anything exciting after the beginning. If a movie is capable of killing my fun and enthusiasm, it's this one. Subtext? Smashed. (Don't worry, Jackie/Ash! I still believe!) The cutest scene where little Jackie is snuggling with the Swablu, Altaria and Furrets? Ruined by a ridiculous do-do-wop a capella (reggae?) (Guys, you're killing the mood!) Everytime something implies action or something cool and exciting or even touching, it veers away and takes the easy route out. God I was squirming in my seat already! Though it's my head that hurts. It's... ow. I SAW IT FOR JACKIE. Did I get enough of him? NO. FUCK NO. Even being prepared to be disappointed, I KNEW my spirits would get crushed. Hell, for watching this movie, I demand a fucking reward. Namely Jackie pr0n. WHY JACKIE. WHY WERE YOU WASTED AS A CHARACTER IN A HORRIBLE FILM!? YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL. WHY? WHY!?

This and Movie 7 need to die in a pit and go to fucking hell. God I hope Movie 6 and Movie 4 don't make me throw as many objects at the screen as I do now. (Barrels, in this case. With fire and knives inside) Interesting that one of my favorite PokeMovies, Movie 8, had to be wedged between those piles of sewage.



P.S. The Sea Temple Akusha = In reality, the Sleeping Beauty castle of the Walt Disney logo.

A lot of us liked making Fakemon as little kids, didn't we? I found this and scanned both sides: it's a list of Pokemon I've created back in the G/S(/C?) days. :o How many Pokemon have I predicted by now? I'll translate my handwriting 'cause it gets smudged and smushed and hard to read. Typos included.

Puri's Fakemon from around G/S/C! )

Part 2 of Fakemon! )



Man, I knew it would take forever to type up. XD Ah well, it was overdue.
