Spoiler-Filled Discussion of Sonic the Hedgehog


Paramount and Sega were horribly misguided in how they went about marketing Sonic the Hedgehog on its first attempt, but now they’ve corrected themselves. After likely overworking and underpaying their poor animators to oblivion, those degenerate film executives have now given us a version of their Sonic that is actually tolerable to look at. Kudos to Jeff Fowler and company for making that happen, but it’s still insane to think how we all ultimately got here.
The cast for Sonic the Hedgehog is headlined by Ben Schwartz voicing the Blue Blur, supported by James Marsden, Jim Carry, Tika Sumpter, Lee Majdoub, and Neal McDonough, to name a few.
My synopsis of the film would be:
“Ten years after the incredibly fast and supernaturally powerful Sonic arrived on Earth, life has been mostly kind to him. He enjoys his existence in the peaceful small town of Green Hills, Montana, observing its citizens’ daily lives and trying to develop his own identity despite his crippling loneliness. One day, however, he accidentally causes a massive power surge that attracts the attention of the government and their radical consultant Dr. Robotnik. Sonic then teams up with the local sheriff Tom Wachowski to help him get to safety.
As has been the case with most of our roundtable discussions, the length of our reviews has led to me declining to write a full summary of our thoughts. Therefore, this is all you’ll get for the written version.
I hope you enjoy our thoughts on this meme’d but nonetheless decent movie!

Iowa City Week #13: Elder Price - My Firstborn in the Wilderness

Image
As I mentioned last Monday, I received a call from President Jensen in which I was informed that I would be training a new missionary.   On Thursday , I met the man who I will be training for the next 12 weeks: Elder Price, a hard-working, assertive, spiritual giant from Midvale, Utah (a suburb of Salt Lake City)!   FATHER AND SON!!! The interesting thing, though, is that he is the oldest companion I have been with so far - he is 22 years old, and he will be having his birthday next month. I find it funny that I've found myself in a position of training a guy who is so much older than me, but it certainly is humbling, and I hope to do my best to help him adjust to the tough missionary lifestyle. As for Elder Scott's fate, he has been sent to Rock Island, Illinois, which is part of the Quad Cities. I will miss him, and I hope that he enjoys his time serving there. For other changes in our District, Elder Jackson has a new companion named Elder Hunter, Sister Egbert...

Fort Madison Week #16: Persevere, Perspire and Pray

Image
Well, there is a lot that I could potentially talk about from this week, so I will do my best to be succinct with all of the thoughts I will share. I guess to properly separate my thoughts, I'll talk about how important it is to follow three different "P" principles while serving to Lord - perseverance, perspiration (aka, work) and prayer. First of all, as I mentioned last week, when trials come that is   not  an appropriate time to cower back in fear and quit. In fact, we should do our best to keep our chins up and press forward, because we never know what may happen. For us, we needed to persevere in terms of finding new people to teach as well as helping our investigators. Then of course, we needed to work at accomplishing such goals; without prayer, though, the Spirit would never be able to help us as much as we would need Him to. The Lord Himself has said in the scriptures that the Spirit is manifest by the prayer of faith, so we definitely tried to take that princi...

Winter Has Returned

Image
Well, the terrible bite of winter has finally come back. It hit quite hard   on Friday , in which we got hit by at least 6 inches of snow. Elder Homer and I were conducting weekly planning when a light flurry started to come through the area, and eventually when it came to the point in which we were walking around the storm   really  hit. For the next 5 1/2 hours we were walking around in a snowstorm, but you know what? It was great!  We did not exactly get to meet a lot of people while doing so, nor were we that warm (this was a wet snowfall), but it's still great to go out and share the Gospel no matter what the conditions are. Obviously I wouldn't go out when a tornado is blowing in, so you could consider that previous statement as an exaggeration, but still--the truth still stands that it's a pleasure to share the Gospel no matter what the weather may be like. As we have been working more diligently and efficiently, we have learned that it is ever more im...
