    Absolutely pointless

    I wasted 2 1/2 minutes of my life. I've watched inane tik toks that were less pointless than this so-called animation. I have nothing else to say so here's the opening of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald...

    In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since.

    "Whenever you feel like criticizing any one," he told me, "just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had."

    He didn't say any more but we've always been unusually communicative in a reserved way, and I understood that he meant a great deal more than that. In consequence I'm inclined to reserve all judgments, a habit that has opened up many curious natures to me and also made me the victim of not a few veteran bores. The abnormal mind is quick to detect and attach itself to this quality when it appears in a normal person, and so it came about that in college I was unjustly accused of being a politician, because I was privy to the secret griefs of wild, unknown men. Most of the confidences were unsought-frequently I have feigned sleep, preoccupation, or a hostile levity when I realized by some unmistakable sign that an intimate revelation was quivering on the horizon-for the intimate revelations of young men or at least the terms in which they express them are usually plagiaristic and marred by obvious suppressions. Reserving judgments is a matter of infinite hope. I am still a little afraid of missing something if I forget that, as my father snobbishly suggested, and I snobbishly repeat a sense of the fundamental decencies is parcelled out unequally at birth.

    Nobody is waiting for this

    It has absolutly nothing to do with Star Wars. The drawings are terrible, the story is worthless and even the music hurts. Do not watch it: it is terrible. I never saw anything worse. And that includes the Holiday Special. It has absolutly nothing to do with Star Wars. The drawings are terrible, the story is worthless and even the music hurts. Do not watch it: it is terrible.

    Zen and Dust Bunnies with Grogu: An Exuberant and Unsettling Adventure that Combines Peaceful Meditation with Extraterrestrial Cuteness

    "Zen - Grogu and Dust Bunnies" aims to combine the calm realm of Zen philosophy with the endearing chaos presented by Grogu and dust bunnies, making for a lovely yet slightly confused experience. Moments of unexpected warmth and hilarity are created when the beloved Star Wars monster Grogu is juxtaposed with the idea of Zen. The animation style is adorable and charming, perfectly encapsulating Grogu's alluring charm. The attempt to incorporate Zen ideas into this fantastical world, meanwhile, occasionally causes a tonal conflict, leaving the audience divided between true moments of serenity and wild sweetness.

    Although the idea of examining mindfulness via the eyes of dust bunnies and Grogu is original and imaginative, the execution often fails to weave a coherent story. Some viewers might feel a little confused by the way that the peaceful moments are intercut with Grogu and the dust bunnies' malicious actions. In spite of its sporadic inconsistencies, "Zen - Grogu and Dust Bunnies" is a fun experience that manages to evoke happy and contemplative moments for those looking for a humorous and unique approach to mindfulness.

    It's pretty much just a desktop wallpaper.

    What even is this? This is the Star Wars x Studio Ghibli crossover we were supposed to be excited about? It's just... nothing? It's like a desktop wallpaper, a GIF that should seamlessly loop but doesn't quite repeat at the right point. It's fine, don't get me wrong, and it's relatively cute for what it is. It just feels cobbled together, though, and clearly only exists because of the brands attached to it. Maybe it's a teaser for something bigger to come out of this collaboration, but it's pretty disappointing if it's the entire result of it. I mean, come on, Studio Ghibli could've pumped this out in their sleep; in fact, they probably did. Like I said, it's fine. It's barely anything, but it's fine.

    3 minutes of my life I'll never get back

    It's pretty boring. I really can't think of anything positive to say about this short except it's 3 minutes too long. It reminds me of a great school art thesis but without the deep meaning. Maybe the people were on something when they made it. I'm not even sure how Disney could out it out there? Why wouldn't they bury it deep in the vault? It's pretty boring and I have to write 600 word, but honestly the movie is only 3 minutes and it will take longer to ready this then it would to just watch it. So go watch it.. Save yourself.. Hurry I'm almost at 600. Almost there! It's your last chance.. done.
