Hiccup's mother from "How To Train Your Dragon 2"

This sequel came out a little while ago, and next to a fairly bland plot, it introduced us to Hiccup's mother. I didn't know anyone cared, but they included her anyway.

The reason for this woman's absence was unmentioned in the original movie, but everyone assumed her to be dead, and this movie reveals that they believed dragons had killed her.
It's a very crucial bit of information that would've explained Hiccup's father's reluctance to listen to his son and befriend the dragons in the first movie, but since they said nothing about the mother's cause of death then, I can only assume the writers just now came up with the idea to link Hiccup's mother to the creatures.

So, what is this woman's backstory? It appeared that she was such a people-hating hippy, she decided to ditch her own baby and husband to live with the dragons who abducted her. Brilliant. 

The fairly collected reaction from Hiccup upon meeting her and the lack of "WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME, WHY?! HOW COULD YOU LEAVE A BABY BEHIND! SHIT, MOM, YOU'RE MESSED UP!" in the conversations with her made me..quite furious, actually. I was happy the movie paused after that scene, as I needed the time to digest this bull.

The movie tries to portray this woman as some kind of awesome warrior and dragon trainer who did what she had to do, and deserves her son's forgiveness for "perhaps slightly overreacting", but I find her a terrible woman who only cares about herself. She just uses the excuse that she felt Hiccup was saver without her to make her appear less of a selfish bitch.
But her excuse simply made no sense, as she already discovered dragons were peaceful creatures, since she is living with the damn beasts since day 1. How would Hiccup be saver without her? She's always been right about the dragons, and she knew that. The dragons wouldn't kill Hiccup, so what's the danger she wanted to keep him from?
I just hate this character so much. She even dares to hestitate about returning to her husband and child, even after knowing the whole village accepts dragons. Just what is this woman's deal? 

The way she acts and the way she talks to Hiccup makes me think she is mentally crippled and socially awkward. Who chooses a bunch of flying lizards over their own flesh and blood? No good and mentally sane mother thinks her absence is best for her family, they consider themselves best for their family.
She is a shitty addition to the movie. I'd rather have her dead, if this was the story and character they'd be going for.
When her husband dies, you see everyone crying, but her face is the dryest of all.

Every time I see this woman, I feel so angry. 

Pogo

Dearest Fagottron, I'm just not feeling it anymore.

Not to sound like a hipster, but his work was in my favourites far before he turned into a Youtube celebrity and decided to show his face to everyone.
You can make the argument that I'm so hipster, I just "think" his older work is better because it's from a period where he was "slightly less popular", but that would mean the Spongebob remix wouldn't do it for me either. And that's not true.
 
Of course, not everything from the past was equally great, but his newer productions just sighs "bored of this". It's as if the guy is getting tired of trying to come up with melodies. His current remixes just don't make me boogie.

Either this guy is not having a good year, or he's being pushed/pressured by others.

People who have more children than they care to have a relationship with

I once read about a social research that shared the conclusion that human beings can really only befriend 5 people at a time. 5 people is pretty much the max you can be truly close with, and when looking at myself and other people, I can agree with that.

With that in mind, why do certain social structures created by people exist?
For example, the concept of a harem is a waste of time. You cannot love all these women equally, not to mention men are done and satisfied after 1 minute of sex, so it's overkill. And then there are the hundreds of children his harem shits out, and they will meet with the same neglect from this man who already has no relationship with most of his wives.
Do people still consider mindless procreation the meaning of life? What is the value in that? There can be no value in the creation of life if no one values life.

I remember seeing a reality tv-show that centered around a couple that had many children of their own, but they also had some kind of adopting-addiction, "because they love children so much".
But no, you don't love them if you can't give them the attention they deserve. Just because they have a roof over their head and food on their plate doesn't mean they are better off. A common orphanage offers them the same deal. When you enter a real family, you're supposed to feel loved, that is the key difference.
Even the children they interviewed in that show said they hardly got any attention from their parents, and it made them sad. It makes me sad as well.

"Happy" the new McDonald's mascot

Not exactly new anymore, but I still remember the moment I saw this thing on television for the first time. As scary Ronald the McDonald's clown is, there is one thing I hate more than clowns:

The rabbids from Rayman, the minions from Despicable Me, the snails from Flushed Away, and the fish from The Lorax.

They were never funny. They simply never were. Yet were are stuck with simple-minded people who keep worshipping this concept of large-mouthed, high-pitched screaming or singing 3D characters, who are their own dubious breed and get rewarded with too much screen time or their own series and games.

I think I have said before that the rabbids get a free pass, as they are the first, but the minions alone can go drink a bathtub of lava. The "humor" that comes from them is too dependant on the way their voices sound, but actual jokes are absent. Why are people even entertained by this?
And now we have a red box with a huge mouth and eyeballs that reminds us of something else. Not something better, mind you, but the fact this is an obvious clone of an obvious clone makes it worse.
Stop making rabbids, everyone.

Orange is the New Black

I have watched both seasons in full, and I wonder why.

I am not fond of sex scenes in movies and series, because it almost never serves any purpose in the story. The series could've been a whole lot more subtile about the lesbian sex going on in prison, but it isn't, and it's like you're watching the results of some pervert's sex fantasy.
Besides that, I'm one of those people who doesn't believe everyone turns homosexual the moment they're in a situation like this, so it's even harder for me to watch a girl who's only been there for 2 days "enjoy" another girl's face in her crotch. I won't ignore the act itself happens in prisons, but Jesus, people.

Even so, while the neverending scenes of the fingering of lady crotch annoyed me in the beginning, I soon found myself getting annoyed by something even worse:

The main character. She is a load of bitch.

When the series starts off, you find yourself siding with the main character, as she appears to be this nice blonde lady who was just a victim of the past. But it doesn't take her long to jump back into her ex-girlfriend's arms, the one who is basically to blame for her confinement, and forget all about her loyal fiancé waiting for her at home.
This nonsense goes back and forth, and with the introduction of the second season, the continuous indecisiveness of the main character just drives you insane. Mentioned fiancé was clever enough to ditch her after her sex adventure, and that makes him the best character in the series.
There is nothing likeable about the main character.

What bothers me is that it's not cleverly written indecisiveness, the character just seems like a slut who jumps on whoever she finds comfort in at that moment. Oh, except of course crooked-eyed ladies, as she still dares to have standards; it has to be the only other two people who ever loved her she needs to emotionally destroy.

She is almost evil and her disloyalty is enraging, and it doesn't help that when her ex-fiancé is honest enough to tell her he has found a new partner in her best friend, something he's fully allowed to do, she feels entitled to be angry with him. Why? They broke up long ago, and just because you tried to blow him in the bathroom of your own grandmother's funeral, shame on you, doesn't mean there was ever a chance for you.

But like the hypocrite she is, she is angry with him and her friend, and she crawls back to her ex-girlfriend as an attempt to take revenge on them, who, by the way, by that time again had stabbed her in the back.

This character is shitty and her ex-girlfriend is shitty. The fact they are based on real people scares me, as I don't want these kind of people to exist. I'm just tired of counting the times people "betray" each other in this series. There seem to be no real friendships going on, as the series is too focussed on all this other bull.

But I guess the reason I watch it is because of the few stories that are interesting.

While I hate the pregnant Latina girl, as she is a total bitch and there is no real chemistry between her and her guard boyfriend, the story itself appeals to me. Especially when the other guard who is in love with her is involved.
And even the relationship that the religious nut gets with the counsel is interesting. But the series doesn't work these stories well, and I'm not sure what to blame. Is all this supposed to be like this or is it bad writing?

I don't understand it, as all scores for this series is going through the roof. Are people these days hypnotised by sex scenes, perhaps? Is that why I don't understand Game of Thrones, either?
I'm not charmed or enlightened by this show, neither do I consider it an experience.

Wii U

I hoped that the Wii U would've died the second it was announced to be pointless shit, but it's still here, and I keep seeing awesome and interesting games being published for it. And only for it. I'm conflicted about what to do.

I don't want to buy something that's basically one big, battery-devouring, expensive Wii remote that pretends to be its own console. It's merely a pointless extension for the Wii nobody asked for, and since I already have a Wii, I don't feel much for buying a tablet that, let's be honest, most games don't get the full potential out of; and in most the big screen only shows you the menu or map.
Does Nintendo really think people are that lazy they don't want to press a button to see the menu anymore?

The Wii U is nothing special and it just reminds me of the Nintendo DS/3DS. Which I also have. Why should I have to buy things double, just to play the games I want to play? Why can't Nintendo have a little care for its fans and release their games for more consoles? Why do I need this iPad when I want to have Zelda's Windwaker HD or try out Sonic Boom?
