Apparently “The Martian” is a comedy.

Greetings, readers!

I notice that The Webmaster and I have been a touch remiss in our analysis of the fluff of modern-day culture. I attempt to fix that with today’s post.

For, you see, “The Martian” has received an award for… “Top Comedy.”

Now, while it some people may disagree with this assessment, I am hesitant to completely condemn its award. Yes, the trailers shown with the movie indicate that it may not be a conventional comedy. But, if one examines the Shakespearean Type of Comedy, The Martian may actually qualify. (Spoilers ahead.) There is a happy ending, after all. And furthermore, you see that multiple of the characters have gotten married– to each other.

There are also no human casualties.

Thus, by the Shakespearean definition, it may qualify as a comedy. Furthermore, it was a well-done movie. Thus, I do not condemn the “Best Comedy” Golden Globe it won two nights ago.

Have a lovely Tuesday.

Movie Time-Periods Are Sometimes Obvious

Greetings, readers.

Yesterday, I took the opportunity to watch “The Shining”. It is a critically acclaimed movie that I had not previously seen.

One of the things that stood out to me was the “feel” it had of “older movie”. I think it was especially due to the pacing. The background music (or lack thereof) also flavored the movie.

It was interesting.

I sincerely hope this video was intentionally ridiculous

Greetings, readers!

I encountered this Buzzfeed cat fort video last night. I sincerely hope that it was intentionally overacted to the point of absurdity. Otherwise, it would provide an incredibly depressing insight into human nature.

Enjoy.

Rather Amusing Mathematical New Year’s Resolutions

Greetings, readers, and happy New Year!

I hope that 2016 goes well for you.

In the category of traditions: I am not presenting any personal “New Year’s Resolutions.” However, a friend shared these mathematician related new year’s resolutions, and I found them amusing. (They may require some understanding of more advanced mathematics. I still think they are worth sharing, however.)

I hope you have a lovely beginning of your year.

What If Star Wars Episode III was Good?

Greetings, readers!

Today’s post is the third in the “What if the Star Wars Prequels were actually Good” series. This one, Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, only came out this month.

Again, the usual language warnings are in place.

Enjoy.

What If Star Wars II Was Good?

Greetings, readers!

Today’s fluff is a continuation of yesterday’s. The same person who developed a redesign of Star Wars I also created a “What If” for Episode II: Attack of the Clones. It, too, is well done. (Again, I do not recall what language warnings to give to this video.)

I hope you have a lovely day.

What If Star Wars I was good? (A Re-post)

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Greetings, readers!

As you may recall from a bit more than two years ago, I shared a YouTube video that examines what retweaking might have made Star Wars I: Phantom Menace actually good. As a brief reminder, I do not recall exactly what language warnings may be required pertaining to the video. I simply recall that it is well worth highlighting again, especially as the new movie has come out, and it has not disappointed critics nearly as much as the prequels did.

So, enjoy.

Seasonal Songs: The Holly and the Ivy

Greetings, readers!

Technically, it may be a bit past the time when “Seasonal Music” is actually seasonal. However, it is still December, and some are fine with that. Thus, as there is another song I would like to share with you, I am going to do so. This one is “The Holly and the Ivy”. It is another traditional one. It is a lovely piece, and I hope you enjoy it.

Seasonal Songs: “Christmastime”

Hiya, Fluffsters!

Happy “Day after Christmas”!

I’m realizing there’s a less-commonly heard song in Churches stores and stuff that I totally forgot to slip into this series earlier, so I’m including it even though it’s a Christmas song and it’s no longer before Christmas. And sorry for that run-on sentence.

Anyway. I like this one primarily because the background singers (after you get to where the song actually starts, which is about two minutes in) sound a bit like bells. It’s kinda like carol of the bells, except that it’s not as commonly done and stuff.

Although the song itself is known as “Christmastime”, I think of it as “Ring Christmas Bells.” So, yeah.

Anyway. Have a lovely Saturday!

Seasonal Music: Fum Fum Fum

Merry Christmas, readers!

I hope you have a lovely holiday.

In honor of Christmas, I found a very nice arrangement of another Christmas song, in a version that I had not previously encountered. It is a version of “Fum Fum Fum”.

I hope you enjoy it.
