Just recently drew these two posters for my upcoming conspiracy horror story that I have been still writing and working on which is titled “velocichild”

(technically I had already drew the first poster like a year ago while the second one I drew it recently)

(and no, it’s not a kid friendly story at all, dont let the title confuse you because it’s more of a symbol of what some of the characters would become)

For those who know or for those who don’t know, here is my synopsis of the story

“The story is about two people named Jackson Stuart and Peter rollen, they originally meet during the start of the 70s and they became friends and everything went great until suddenly, a tragic incident occurred that completely changed Peter’s character from being an Ally to an enemy or in this case “friend to an enemy” to Jackson Stuart, because his father and two cousins were drafted in the vietnam war and they sadly passed away and it completely enraged Peter and made him completely vengeful to the point that he wanted revenge on the US government for killing his father and cousins and when Jackson tried to calm him down, it was unsuccessful since Peter was still enraged and wanted Jackson to leave him alone, which the friendship between the two ended from there and later while he was at school, he was kidnapped by a mysterious organization that manipulate him to join on their side since they claimed that their country is a paradise and they wanted to exploit his hatred of the US in order to make him their ally and decades later, Peter (now brainwashed) along with mysterious organization decide to plan a conspiracy idea in order to take over the world by literally trying to make dinosaurs in order to exploit them to gain money in a zoo, specifically “velociraptors” and by literally kidnapping Jackson Stuart’s three children in order to mutate them into the velociraptors in order to exploit them and gain money from them, Jackson Stuart (now an adult) along with his wife, a Mexican friend and the US army must stop the evil conspiracy and Peter rollen from taking over the world before its to late”


As for the posters, the main reason why I decided to make two posters:

it’s due to the fact that even if the first poster was good and it did gives us allusion on who these characters are and who is on the good side and evil side and the big plotpoint in the story which is the mutant raptors and the conspiracy, but it’s not really at that to impactful or memorable in my liking considering that it doesn’t add up with the darker tone that I envisioned for my story and it feels more like a pg 13 rated action thriller than a full on R rated horror thriller and it’s the reason why I decided to make a second poster, which is my preferred version due to that it added up with the darker tone that I envisioned for the story and how it doesn’t play around with its premise and giving the characters like Jackie Chan,Juan Chang, Peter rollen and the mutant raptors devilish eyes in order to make them menacing, threatening and to be taken seriously

But I let you guys decide if you guys like the first poster or the second one

And do you prefer the first poster or the second one? For me, I had already said the best myself that the second one is better than the first one

Just recently watched Micheal chricton’s 1973 scifi theme park film “Westworld”

And honestly considering that this movie was directed by the same guy who wrote the Jurassic park novel duology along for co-writing the 1993 Spielberg adaptation along with David Koepp and the fact that this movie in general feels extremely similar to Jurassic park with the similar premise and themes but instead of dinosaurs, it’s robots, which it feels like Jurassic park meets the terminator (despite that either of these movies never existed yet, which it feels like the film predated both films)

And i gotta admit that this movie is honestly pretty underrated for its similar yet fun premise of a theme park going berserk and the characters must escape before being killed by its inhabitants just like the Jurassic park film along with the original book and I still do appreciate for its themes of playing god and how a single problem caused a massive orgy of destruction when the robots malfunctioned and go on a killing spree just like the original 1993 film and novel and I gotta admit that the concept of being chased by killer robots is honestly a lot more creepier than being chased by dinosaurs considering that the dinosaurs are just animals only hunting and killing for survival rather than just acting like sociopaths but in this film, the robots acted like slasher villains and their moments like when the gunslinger chases Peter throughout the entire park are honestly pretty terrifying and creepy considering that you couldn’t tell which one is human and since the gunslinger is acting like Micheal myers or the terminator just makes the sequences of him pretty terrifying and nightmarish

And my personal favorite moments in the film are when the main characters encountered the gunslinger like three times, when Peter “banged” one of the female robots, the bar fight, the reveal of how the park works and finally when Peter is being chased by the gunslinger

Speaking of the “special” moment, I do like how weird and horny the film is especially that it does incorporate a lot of sexual moments that definitely feels a lot relevant in the film along with to Micheal chricton’s original Jurassic park book and the film adaptation where in the book, it basically reveals some moments of sexual humour being explicit like when Malcom mentions if someone “lifted” a dinosaur when Dr Henry wu revealed that the dinosaurs are female and when Tim Murphy is interested in sexual reproduction which Lex just teased him by saying that Tim loves “sex” like literally during the river raft sequence , the film adaptation does have a moment of it’s humour when Malcom told Henry wu about the female dinosaurs but only being changed by saying that someone looked at the dinosaur’s skirts

Though despite the film’s good qualities,i do have some few nitpicks that I need to point out like literally

My first nitpick is the lack of world building on its park, I mean considering that this movie is about exploring the theme park and its culture, I was expecting that the film is gonna reveal to much on all of the three parks instead of just one location of the park like the old west, i mean the old west section is fun and cool and I do appreciate the film’s attempt for being like an homage to spaghetti western but the film just lacks it’s world building potential since most of the entire runtime is in the old west and thats it and it’s honestly pretty jarring for me especially that the film feels rushed and doesn’t focused on it’s world building especially that the runtime is shorter than i expected like 1 hour and 28 minutes and the film could have been a lot more longer like 20 minutes long like 1 hour and 48 minutes in order to give us more information and world building to understand the park’s functionality on the rest of its resorts

I get that the film does have some moments of the other areas but the film just doesnt focused to much on them and they were treated as cameos rather than the main focus since the entire film is centered more on the old west and that’s it

And my other complaint is that I do find the climax to be pretty anti climatic, i mean dont get me wrong, it’s entertaining when Peter tries to escape from the gunslinger and does have some genuine creepy and chilling moments when the robot chases Peter throughout the hallways in a very terminator like feel

But the climax is general feels very jarring and anti climatic since most of the entire finale is just the main character wondering around the medieval and Roman sections of the park and thats it and it honestly doesnt really affect the plot to much and it feels blaffing that the main character didint like just ride himself back to the place where he used to enter the park like the area where he arrived with the air transport or just ran away to civilization instead of just wondering around the park like aimlessly

Overall, while the film does have some few nitpicks like the lack of world building and the anti climatic climax that feels jarring, the film in general is still underrated with a great premise of a theme park going berserk and themes of playing god that are quite similar to the 1993 iconic Spielberg dinosaur movie

(9.5/10)

What is your favorite Michael Crichton movie?

Here are my least favorite movies of 2025 which are “a Minecraft movie” and “Jurassic world rebirth”

Honestly, while I don’t consider these two bad or terrible movies of the year but they are problaby my least enjoyable films that I have ever sat through compare to the ones that I enjoy on this year like the Smashing machine, primitive war and bugonia

For “A Minecraft movie”, while it does have some good aspects like the humour, some likable characters like Steve, Garret, Natalie and Henry and it does have a good world building of the Minecraft world but it’s honestly pretty forgettable due to that the story is pretty predictable, it also have some forgettable and uninteresting characters like Marlene, Dawn and malgosha, it has some subplots that completely added nothing to the main narrative like the villager date sequence that felt very absurd and out of place and the main villain “malgosha” is just pretty forgettable and boring due to that her villain arc is pretty predictable since she went from being a dancer to being bullied and to become a dictator like that quickly and her defeat is probably pretty humiliating considering that we kinda already expected that she’s gonna kill Steve and nothing more, which it makes her a pretty weak and meandering villain to be honest, so yeah, while it’s not bad movie and does have some peaks but it’s honestly a dud and not even the memes got me convinced

For “Jurassic world rebirth”, I was kinda expecting that it would be a return to form of the franchise like a back to basics like the first three movies and the first two books after the disastrous entries that are fallen kingdom and dominion and personally fallen kingdom is alot worse due to being extremely boring to sit through and I was having hopes for this one when I saw it in theaters but after seeing it, it’s honestly pretty forgettable due to that it does brought nothing new to the table and instead kept on being the same as the other Jurassic world movies and it doesn’t have the balls to be bloody or brutal since the dinosaurs kept on being static and won’t attack the characters and the movie does have some moments of false potential to be brutal or intense and kept on being anti climatic and for having a lot of plot armor and the characters are kinda flat and dull especially the family which I was just probably rooting for the dinosaurs to kill them considering that they added nothing to the plot and are only just there to add filler and gags and of course it makes the experience kinda dull to sit through, which is probably the main reason why I praised primitive war more than this due to finally showing the dinosaurs back to their horror routes compare to the first three Jurassic park entries and the novel duology and personally, the new dinosaur is just honestly pretty stupid and laughable considering that it feels very out of place and it felt like it belonged in a alien movie rather than a Jurassic park movie, dont get me wrong, it does have some highlights, some characters aren’t all bad and it’s not as boring or stupid compare to fallen kingdom and dominion but the positive aspects couldn’t save the movie since it’s still a another forgettable entry that only existed to be a cashgrab and nothing more

Which of these 70s movies are considered the most underrated?

5 days ago | [YT] | 213

Gotta be honest, this may be a hot take but



I personally don’t really like or care about “the man of the suit” trend, I mean dont get me wrong, I’m very grateful that the person who made the trends is still alive and recovering and I do respected his career choice for making this trend and no offense to him for making them and I do respect the people especially fans for loving this trend and if you like them then it’s fine, I cannot do anything about it since we all have different opinions

But the main reason why I don’t like this trend and do find it very overrated is due to the fact that it takes away the special craft and meaning of Godzilla and his legacy and basically turning into a disturbing trend that ruined his legacy because Godzilla is supposed to be a character that is supposed to be taken seriously for its thematic themes of playing god and nuclear weapons and how his appearance is like an allegory of world war 2 and the Cold War and the special craft behind the movie for its incredible talent of suit motion and how the entire crew who worked on it made it the best that they can and for being respected for their efforts especially haruo nakajima for his effort for enduring his pain on wearing the suit and constantly suffering from passing out and now with this trend being spreaded across social media with a false report of people dying inside of the suit, it just kinda takes away the respect and craft behind suit motion and just turning into a disturbing and mocked joke and seriously whatever i watched to some videos or edits of Godzilla, most people on the chat kept on spamming man in the suit like constantly and it just gets old and annoying pretty fast for me

and this problaby a case of separating my critique of “art from the artist” because even if I don’t like the trend in general but I still respected the one who made it and I’m honestly quite grateful that he’s still alive

(And the 5th to 8th images are my genuine reactions to the trend)

Just recently watched Merian C. Cooper’s 1933 scif adventure movie “King Kong”

And honestly after seeing it, it’s easily by far one of the most iconic movies of the early 20th century along with ishiro Honda’s 1954 scifi horror film “Godzilla” definitely because of how revolutionary it feels due to being made during the Great Depression when the population is in peril and starving and the fact that the filmmakers managed to pull off the impressive visual effects perfectly especially that Willis o Brien did a very good job on the stop motion shoots and even if they were made during the 30s, they still look pretty good and impressive for it’s time and still to this very day because of how stunning and incredible they look and they do give a terrifying vibe to them for making the creatures ruthless and terrific and even if cgi is now the craze and a trend nowadays and today standards didint take these effects seriously, but for me and some cinephiles who defended these types of movies, these effects still look pretty incredible because of how well made they are and how perfectly they capture the creatures really well in a beautiful and terrifying way

The characters are likable especially do appreciate Robert Armstrong’s performance of Carl Denham for giving a charming and sarcastic personality to him that makes him likable and a highlight of the entire movie and I do like fay Wray’s performance as Ann Darrow especially for having a genuine beauty though I do have some mix feelings about her which I will talk about later

The movie does have a lot of iconic moments like the trex fight, the brontosaurus attack, the final battle at the Empire State building and many more especially during the moments when the stop motion creatures appeared like the trex, the giant snake, the brontosaurus and of course King Kong himself which to me looks incredibly iconic and memorable because of frightening and menacing he feels

And I feel like my genuine favorite moment has to be when the brontosaurus attacked Jack Driscoll and Carl denham’s men because It honestly very terrifying and creepy because of how it depicted the brontosaurus in this sequence because most dinosaur movies and books depicts the herbivores as kind hearted angels but here, the brontosaurus is depicted as a savage demon who doesn’t feel sympathy or remorse to anyone that gets in his why and just wanted to kill them and that’s why it’s scary and terrifying but in a good way

The other thing that I do appreciate about the movie are the themes of greedy, considering that the movie takes place during the great depression especially during the time when humanity is suffering from an economic collapse and millions of people are either starving and jobless, and if you think about it, King Kong is more like an allegory of greedy considering that Carl denham was desperate for trying to film a movie in order to gain profit and later when he saw kong, he got the idea of exploiting him in order to get profit from him and of course the consequences of being greedy came back to bite in the ass for trying to exploit Kong and got millions of people killed because of his arrogance of being greedy

My only nitpick for me is ironically Ann Darrow herself along with her relationship with Kong, dont get me wrong, she is pretty likable during the first half especially that she does have some moments of genuine beauty but I feel like my appreciation for the character kinda goes downhill as when she got taken by King Kong because even if we feel bad for her at first but then, her character started to feel pretty annoying at times considering that most of her screentime she kept on screaming and didint even gave respected or appreciation for Kong for defending her and despite his efforts, she won’t even shut up or at least understand him and I feel like her relationship with Kong feels very cold and ruthless compare to the remake depictions of beauty and the beast, even if the remakes are inferior, at least they showed the beauty being sympathetic towards Kong’s actions and understand his loneliness but here in the original, Ann doesnt feel remorse or respected Kong and most of the time kept on screaming and trying to get away from him and it just seriously makes this relationship feel broken and cold because of Ann’s obnoxious behavior and she also can he stupid at times because despite her trauma with Kong and his shenanigans, she still participated in the show that the characters tried to promote him and she knew that she’s scared of Kong and my reaction was like “dude, if you knew that your scared of Kong, why did you participated in the show that promoted him you idiot”

Overall, despite my only nitpick which is Ann and her relationship with Kong, the film in general is still pretty grandiose and iconic and will be one of the greatest monster movies ever made because of it’s revolutionary effects and iconic moments, some likable characters and some well executed themes of greedy

(10/10)
