Just another shock schlock and tabloid junk

Posted : 4 months ago on 3 May 2026 08:59 (A review of Leaving Neverland (2019))

This is just another shock schlock meant to milk this dead horse. The strategy here is simply to create as big emotional impact as possible with a disgusting narrative so you'd forget reasoning and just go with the agenda. These guys tried to sue MJJ company multiple times, but got laughed out of the court because it's just talk and zero evidence. That should really tell you something. The director Dan Reed even confessed that they don't have anything solid to back the claims, like zero, nada. Third of the documentary was cut before it even reached Europe, because there was so much air and claims proven false.

The documentary itself is just talking heads. Most of the story doesn't even make much sense, like how these men claim they didn't know it was rape until they were in their 30's despite testifying on a massive rape case. And they were grilled and cross-examined by professional lawyers, one mistake would've ruined both them and Michael Jackson. So It doesn't even make sense why Michael would choose these people in the first place. Safechuck even claims he had sex with Jackson in a house that didn't exist at the time, another time after a show that Michael didn't even attend to. Then they find some rings Michael allegedly gave them, but no receipts or anything. No way of verifying the claim.

Oh yeah, and since they tried to sue MJJ company, all of their previous versions of these stories and "evidence" are public knowledge and we know they have been changed or manipulated multiple times over time. For example, at one point they play this sound bit that alleges that Michael Jackson was obsessed with this boy, when in reality the original clip was about Michael talking about the boy AND his family, he was talking about how happy he was to see all of them again because they're his friends. Deceptive editing.

So, what you have here is just malicious bollocks. There's no way these people will ever get their time in court. Michael Jackson was acquitted quite resoundingly from both 1993 and 2005 accusations, and there's still no evidence of any wrongdoing from his part, just tabloid stories and exploitative shock schlock pieces such as this. The only reason Chandler family hasn't come out and revealed the truth about the original case is because of that cursed 20 million dollar settlement they would have to pay back.

And if you were triggered by this, then please give me some real, solid evidence and not emotional arguments, tabloid stories or speculation.

A fascinating show about addiction

Posted : 1 year, 1 month ago on 16 July 2025 03:59 (A review of My 600-lb Life)

Yes, it is indeed reality television. And yes, it is about obesity and invasive as they come. But unlike most other similar shows that are based on morbid curiosity alone, I see great value in in this one. First of all, it depicts the dynamics of addiction and self destruction. Here's a hint: addicts always lie straight to your face, and the good doctor gets very much pissed off every time they do that. Some get kicked out of the program.

Many of the patients here are so obese they're barely alive, and both the living conditions and their personal history only add to their deadly addiction to food. The most common issue is untreated trauma and anxiousness that these people treat by eating. And they have their own enablers who keep feeding them until they either change their ways or die.

The enablers are the worst. Without them these people wouldn't be in this condition. One could ask if they even understand what they're doing, they're doing it on purpose or if they're completely insane. It's sickening, but it's true.

Some could say it is very cruel to become a subject of a show such as this. As far as I know, they get paid handsomely for their participation, and since the treatments cost an arm and a leg, they will need every penny they can get. And not all of the stories are happy, lots of people can never beat their addiction and simply succumb to their health issues.

A Great Game Ruined by a Disappointing Ending

Posted : 4 years, 3 months ago on 29 May 2022 07:35 (A review of Breath of Fire IV)

I was lucky enough to find this game back when it was still new and hot. Back then I was keen on classics JRPG's and the cover art alone told me this was something really special.

To keep this short, Breath of Fire IV is more or less a very typical late 90's JRPG with leveling up system, random fights and such, if you happen to know games like Lunar then you pretty much have the same good stuff here.

What really got me and still do are the design choices which couldn't be any more interesting and creative. Instead of taking the easy anime and fairy tale route all the others were doing, these guys were inspired by Chinese and Shinto mythologies and the presentation is truly memorable and unique, there's nothing quite like it even in our time.

I especially love the hardest motherf'king boss of the game that is Won-Qu, a shishi and guardian spirit of the god emperor. That beast always handed me my arse, but the character itself is so damn cool.

The ending is the reason why this isn't one of my favourites, though, I just hate it. There's two different endings, both of which are more or less the apocalypse of this fancy and unique fairy tale world. I just hate it so much, why not just let it be as it is and leave the rest to the player's imagination. Not only that, but if you happen to choose the good ending, it just stops all of a sudden out of the blue. Everything leading up to that point is so epic and fun it ruined the latter part of the game for me.

THE definite proof that God does exist!

Posted : 4 years, 7 months ago on 12 January 2022 07:58 (A review of Rambo: The Force of Freedom)

I know it's for kids, but good lord is it so much fun! Like, imagine the dumbest films Steven Seagal has ever made and put in John Rambo to do his usual stuff. Because it's for kids there's shitton of stupid humor and moral lessons and some of the most awful one-liners I have ever heard in my life. The action is so over the top it's awesome, like Rambo sinks every damn battleship and shoots down planes and even nuclear missiles, but because of censorship nobody ever hits anything with their guns or gets hurt. That's because the people who made the show realized that there's a fine line between violence and action and that's how they could go extreme with the latter without breaking any rules.

The best (and most bonkers) episode in the whole series is the one where a group of international terrorists kidnap Santa Claus and Rambo has to go teach those evil men what Christmas is really all about... in his own merry and loving way. In this episode alone Rambo rides Santa's sleigh while being chased by a battle helicopter. It's insane and over the top, but that's just how it should be. I can't believe I just found out recently about this gem, it's so entertaining and full of unintentionally hilarious stuff it should be taught in schools.


This cartoon is THE definite proof that God does exist.

One of the best black metal albums ever.

Posted : 4 years, 8 months ago on 6 January 2022 06:42 (A review of Exercises in Futility)

I can't believe how back in the day when people told me to get this thing I just thought it would by another cookie cutter Norwegian style black metal album with lo-fi production and lots of blastbeats. It wasn't until recently that I got really curious since its popularity and acclaim have only gotten bigger over the years, to the point even mainstream metal groups in social media are constantly telling me to listen to it. Then I finally did, and...

Jesus frigging Christ this is good. Mgla are anything but average, they may be very straightforward, but the skill and talent present here are insane. The production quality is more or less lo-fi and there's even some blastbeats, but that's just how it's supposed to be. The songs themselves are masterfully constructed and despite being very long, they never get boring. There's amazing atmosphere and tensionbuilding, great use of repetition... it's amazing stuff.

The best songs here are the first and the fifth, but it's still all killer and no filler. The latter is especially famous for the drummer making it sound like he has multiple extra limbs, that's some crazy skill right there. So frigging cool.

Coroner
27.8. A compilation of both new and old songs. Coroner were huge visionaries and forward thinking musicians, so much so that the mass audience didn't get their style, and that's why the band ended up collapsing. The new songs are some of the most interesting metal I've ever heard. If you can find the tabulatures, be sure to check them out. Many of the fine secrets of this band are revealed only on paper form.

Idolatry
27.8. (TWICE) One of the must crushing thrash metal albums of all time. Scotts Burns did great job with this one. Edit. I actually listened to this once, but since I dropped the disc I decided to take another spin just in case.

Under Lock and Key
24.8. I know I'll get flak for saying this, but I honestly think Dokken were a great band at their peak. They were pop metal, yes, but I think they kept things from going over the top. Compare this to most other 80's pop metal acts who nobody cares nor remembers. Loads of them you can't even pirate because nobody wants them. I have tried my best.

Disintegration
24.8. Disintegration is one of the greatest musical achievements of the 20th century. Easily top 3 albums of the decade and at least top 10 of all time.

22.8. This and Cold were the albums that made this band great again. They have released only good albums ever since, and that's a lot said knowing how abysmal crap they produced until that minus the first two albums that rip.
