Carth's New Media Review Site (Including a CL Review)

Postby Carth » Fri Jun 11, 2010 5:10 pm

Uh, hi, kids. 8D I'm not sure if this should go in Technical Discussion or not, considering it's a plug for my own mini-project...but, this forum has higher traffic. 8D;

After writing 28 1/2 commentaries for CL episodes in ED, I realized that I really liked to do this kind of thing. So, I decided to take my stagnant LJ account and use it to ramble about whatever book/show/movie I want to ramble about. Rather dead-end sort of thing, but it's good for practicising witticisms and keeping myself motivated to write.

Directory entry is here: http://carthmonkey.livejournal.com/750.html

It's a little ambitious, but, oh well. The only thing there right now is half a CL overview - read it and/or comment if you want. 8D Is here: http://carthmonkey.livejournal.com/807.html#cutid1

Thank you, and move this if it's in the wrong place!

See this is a nice and constructive thing to put on your LJ! Rather than just writing about absolute tripe like I do. Who cares about Teki's life anyway. honk

It'd be interesting to see what stuff other than CL you do, but I really gave you proper 'crit' in my comment. B) Not really crit though, it's aaaaall praise...

At least you do something with yours.

Carth, you make me want to do something with my LJ. But I don't know what to do. D:

I made a promise to myself that I would never subject the world to such pain ever again. And my life is far too unremarkable to talk about.

But anyway, I eagerly look forward to more updates! And mentions of William. And mentions of William's spandex-clad derrière.

Oh, you know me too well, SilverPrince. C:

Anyway, I haven't put up Part 2 (that's coming soon, I promise) but for some reason, Planet Cool (Start Wreck) wanted to put up his Subdigitals album review on what I'm sure he believes will one day be a famous review website. It's a fantastic, scathing review - read it for the lulz! (Also his writing kicks patoot.)

Any review that contains multiple instances of "I am not making this up" and speaks in tropes is good in my book. Looking forward to part two.

Carth's general review is a million times more kickass, but... has anyone read the guest review I did for her? The CL soundtrack review? Anyone?

...'cuz I, like, worked really hard on it n' stuff... :no:

I read it!

Since don't happen to have the songs myself, I just listened to the 30 seconds of them up on itunes as I read the reveiw and I think you were spot on. It's not really something I think I'll be adding to my library though.

What I WOULD love to see is a release of the music actually used in the show. CL is one of two shows where I've ever actually liked the score enough to want it for myself.

Uh oh, has getting bitten by the fan fiction bug indefinitely delayed getting part 2 of this sweet overview, Carth?

Getting bitten by the Broken Computer Bug has delayed part two of the soundtrack review, too. :no:

If all goes well, I should have my compy back from Geek Squad today, tomorrow at the latest.

@ Silver Prince: Raven is awesome.
