Gene Roddenberry Vs 'The Ice Pirates': The Feud that Never Happened
IMDb is both indispensable and deeply unreliable. It is the first place most film lovers go when curiosity strikes. Who wrote that scene? Where was that filmed? Why does that actor look familiar?

Well, well, I finally found more. It's been three years since my last Underappreciated Cartoons list. That's three years of searching for stuff to put into a fourth entry. It took a while, but I think I finally found a couple of good ones.

Book Review: "Intermezzo" by Sally Rooney
Sally Rooney's novels tended to be a hit and miss for me. Normal People was the first book I'd read by her which, admittedly, completely put me off all of her writing and I hadn't bothered to read more until recently. I don't know what made me give her another go, but Beautiful World, Where Are You? was fantastic and Conversations with Friends wasn't too bad either. I was beginning to enjoy my traversing into the Rooney-verse with all of its inspiration very clearly taken from Woolfian writing (though, I would happily change that adjective to describe Virginia Woolf's influence to 'Woolfish' given half a chance). Intermezzo was perhaps one of the most anticipated books of the last few years and unfortunately, there are a few things I need to grapple with.

"Beyond the Gates" Turns One!
It seems like yesterday. It really, truly does. As those who read my stories know, I have had a love-hate relationship with soaps for nearly my entire life; I hate soaps but love their villainesses. I guess I was basically waiting for that perfect soap to finally hit the small screen. One with good angles, one that isn't so over the top, and one with good representation.

SpongeBob Review
The episode "F.U.N." unfolds as a masterclass in character-driven comedy and narrative irony, centering on Plankton’s most hilariously transparent scheme to date. From the opening moments, the Chum Bucket’s oppressive gloom is a stark, almost visceral contrast to the sun-drenched, vibrant chaos of the Krusty Krab, a visual metaphor for the fundamental conflict between cynical ambition and joyful innocence. Plankton, tiny and vibrating with a fury that seems to distort the very air around him, constructs his "Friendship, U & Me, and Anywhere and Anytime" acronym not as a genuine olive branch but as a convoluted trap, his every syllable dripping with insincerity. The scene is a tightly wound spring of tension, as we, the audience, are complicit in the joke, watching SpongeBob—radiating pure, unadulterated optimism—plunge headfirst into the obvious snare with a trusting eagerness that is both exasperating and profoundly endearing.
