I'm not keen to pay the kinds of prices OOP Case Closed commands, but I enjoy watching them from time to time.

I started with Last Wizard of the Century for 7 dollars around the time Magic Kaito 1412 had finished airing and thought I might collect more, but it 'was' the only cheap one.

Just watched it, thanks for pointing it out, this one was at the top of my Case Closed movie Wishlist. I'd put it on pause after Time Bombed Skyscraper cost a lot and left me disappointed.

I've seen 4 of them now.

Case Closed- Captured in Her Eyes.
I don't watch much Case Closed, but I have seen bits of the show, and have a rare habit of sampling the movies... this movie has been my 'Case Closed white whale Movie' I've most wanted to see, and now I've seen it... yeah, it's pretty good.

Benoit Blanc seemed to recede into the scenery in this film like a fly on the wall... I prefer when he pops off the page like that scene where he made a mockery of the murder mystery game. He can be so garishly unsubtle, and in this movie he was instead, carefully rendered into the scenes.

I've watched Knives Out more than any other movies the last couple years... it's kind of weird seeing its specific story beats formalized in the 3rd film in a way the 2nd film escaped-for better or worse.

Benoit Blanc also got a new haircut that fit the scenery, but... I'm eh about it.

Wake Up Dead Man felt more aligned with the First Knives Out structurally, and... for better or worse, it felt like a more 'on rails' film than Glass Onion did.

I may list Wake Up Dead Man as my least favorite... but I've only seen Glass Onion once and think that ending was... tedious and odd.
December 14, 2025 at 4:26 PM
Did you just watch it too? I'm more conflicted about the film, it's proven to be quite distinct from the other two... I was prepared to place Glass Onion as my least favorite, but... I think this movie angled in such a direction that Glass Onion's better elements could breathe unborrowed.

Tangled The Series 34- the halfway mark. Going into weekend 2. I'm booking it through this show... because -whisper whisper...(I'm having a good time).
If I'm to be honest, 33 and 34 are my least favorite episodes of Tangled so far; They're like a typical Saturday morning cartoon.

I enjoyed the latest stories, I mean, gosh, I just watched 6 of them back to back... I'm at the point in the 2nd season where the show is throwing in 1 off characters so there are strangers to meet every episode. It's a different vibe for this stretch than seeing 'the town cast' every episode.

Tangled the Series -33 Or Season 2, episode 10.
I didn't realize I was gonna think this, but I miss Corona... I wasn't as ready to go on an adventure as Rapunzel was... I think it's the fanning out to new unknown characters that aren't quite as familiar as the OG Snuggly Duckling gang.

Tangled the Series-27
Watched a 2 parter, an episode about dealing with the aftermath of the 2 parter, and a tour of goodwill held for the townsfolk after dealing with the aftermath of the 2 parter... I feel like I've covered a solid plot arc tonight.

Sure is a big gopher though.

To give just a small infinitesimal sample of what I love about Eden's BoWy.

The 50's Sock Hop backstory for a highschool friend group that all grow up to be formidable magicians. I love these people... what a swell gang to drink fountain sodas at the pharmacy with.

Episode 23 is done; 3 days into starting Tangled the Series I'm done with season 1.
I really like it, the art style looking like flash gave me a 4 year pause, but all it took for me to start a marathon was starting episode 1. It really is that good.

Tangled the Series: Episode 10, and Queen for a Day, Part 1 and 2. (11-12)
The Music has started, the drama has started. Time to introduce the big stakes, and let fly the songs.

It's the 1st major on ramp to greatness.

I am, of course, seeing this for the 1st time.

Tangled the Series: 2-9
Oooh yeah, I am liking this show... it's a very satisfactory continuation of Tangled. It's turning out to be good/great even for the parts of the show I wasn't expecting to like. It's got a way of introducing a cringe idea and delivering a delightful follow through.

Tangled: Before EverAfter: Definitely a plain movie... the pointy dark rocks are a neat bit, but can't make up for the plainness.

Tangled: What the Hair... I watched this 1st last night, then tonight again... I think the production value/fun quotient is perceptibly a tick above the pilot.

I love Superchats on Youtube... but I only join them to talk about weird old Lego pieces with my favorite Lego Youtubers. or weird old anime new releases with Discotek, So I might have a positively skewed idea of their possible value. I greatly prefer them to - comments turned off-
