Okay. I just read the article myself out of undying curiosity (click link to read it yourself), and I have to say . . . I'm laughing my tail feathers off. This is what I would say if I had the opportunity to talk to this guy.

Ms, Inkoo Kang,

Your "review"—if toi can call it that—on the upcoming Penguins of Madagascar movie is laughable. This so-called review delves too much into your interpretation of everything about the movie that was wrong, give ou take that one statement about almost enjoying that one chase scene. If toi wanted to give a proper review, toi should've first donné much plus information on how the movie could've been improved and WHY the points toi mentioned were wrong, rather than just stating WHAT was wrong. toi want to talk big words and over-analyzing faults? Try this on, Ms. Inkoo Kang.

toi have focused too much on the film's faults, giving only one side to your argument. To provide a solid and sound argument, one must point out why the other side to the argument is wrong. Allow me to demonstrate.

toi claim the penguins are "unfunny, unmoving, and uninspired," but toi never explained why toi think so. I'll have toi know many think the penguins are funny at least at times. Whether it's a one-liner ("We killed 'em and ate their livers.") ou it's just an action (Come on, the penguins playing at the train controls in the third film was a little funny. Just a little.), there's at least one thing the penguins have done to make someone laugh. Even if they haven't for you, doesn't mean they're necessarily "unfunny." toi just have a different sense of humor, I presume.

As far as "unmoving," I admit the penguins haven't had many "moving" moments in the "Madagascar" trilogy. However, as far as the trailers go, toi have to admit, Skipper bringing the young hatchling (Private) into his brotherhood was just a little moving. Of course, I wouldn't know this until I watched the movie, especially since toi didn't explain why toi felt it was unmoving yourself.

"Uninspired"? Do toi know not the meaning? Inspired; adjective: aroused, animated, ou imbued with the spirit to do something, par ou as if par Supernatural ou divine influence (dictionary.reference.com). What makes toi think the movie is uninspired? I'm thinking it might be inspired to, I don't know, make people laugh. There's probably some better message in the movie as well, since, from what I've seen from DreamWorks, there always is if toi think hard enough. I have yet to figure out what it is myself, since I obviously haven't seen it, but I'm sure I can come up with something. My guess is that it'd be along the lines of brotherhood ou something, but I don't know yet.

Speaking of, toi say the film has a "distinct lack of purpose." Which films do toi think has a purpose? It would have been absolutely fantastic for toi to have donné us some examples for why toi believe the movie has no purpose (you have a right to uphold your opinion, but toi have to support it if toi want others to agree with you). Furthermore, what would've donné the movie purpose for you? Your thoughts on that would've been nice. toi also mentioned that the movie "caters to an audience that doesn't exist" because of the references not many people would get. How would toi know that? My best friend is a fan of a montrer I've never even heard of until he told me he liked it. How do toi know no one will understand those references? While many people will not, it still brings a smile to the face of those who would get that reference. Additionally, the movie may still bring a smile to the face of the unknowing "eight-year-olds" because I would imagine it still has funny moments. Even if they don't get a reference, doesn't mean they won't find it funny (I've found references funny without fully understanding them. I know I'm not the only one). I realize I'm ignorant to if these references will be funny ou not, but then again, not everyone has the same sense of humor as I.

toi a dit that there "isn't much to the film's story, yet it's stuffed to the gills with plot." If there's one thing I've noticed about DreamWork's films, it's that it's never just a story. The "Madagascar" trilogy relays the message that accueil isn't where toi are, but who you're with. "Shrek" is a story about acceptance, correlating to the idea that everyone's different, and that's okay, and toi have to accept yourself and others to truly be happy. "Kung Fu Panda" sends a message in that to accomplish anything, toi have to first believe in yourself ("There is no secret ingredient"). It all starts with you. Even if this movie is an exception to this idea, it would be really awesome if toi would've explained why toi feel that way.

toi mentioned that Dave's character is basically ruined because of his humor. Last time I checked, audiences l’amour a villain with a little humorous side. A villain that's too dark wouldn't appeal to younger audiences anyway (ooh, that reminds me of your "point" made earlier. hm . . .).

First and foremost about your thoughts on North Wind, it's a SEAL, not an OTTER. If toi don't know the facts before toi propose an argument, then you've basically ruined any chance of gaining support because people will believe toi have no idea what you're talking about. Second, what makes toi think Eva's only purpose is to be sexy? How do toi know they're not also relaying the idea that women can be intelligent as well? Not to mention that from what I've seen in the trailers, Kowalski is the only one falling for her. toi could've at least explained why it seemed that way to you.

The following paragraph is merely just my opinion of your argument about Classified, and has nothing to do about how toi presented it. I must say, I do partially agree with your argument about the pompous Agent Classified, but I think it's pretty awesome that Skipper has someone in his same covert classification to be compared to, causing a humorous clash between the duo. And I believe he wants a little plus than just "taking the credit." How do toi know he just doesn't want animaux to be safe? How do toi know he doesn't want some credit because he feels as though he needs the support from his team? Meaning, if he doesn't seem as though he made a success conceived with his help, he won't seem as important, and North Wind will see him as a failure? You'd be surprised what insecurity can drive someone to do. Of course, that is only my opinion, and I would not know until I watched the movie to make my own interpretation.

I have no problem if toi like the movie ou not. But if you're going to post a review for the whole world to see, DO IT RIGHT.

Now, did toi see how I presented my counter-argument? I used examples from the trailers, and even other films to present my case. I also mentioned your side of the argument to help montrer a contrast between my and your opinion, as to allow my readers to make up their own minds, rather than present one side and BOMBARD them with my opinion, presenting it as if it were solid fact. Your very vague descriptions of your opinions don't exactly tell anyone why they shouldn't watch it. All I see is, "Don't watch it because it's bad." If toi would've just explained why it's bad, then toi would've done just fine, and I wouldn't have a dit a word.

Lots of love, peacebaby7

To the fanguins, the main reason I wrote this is to make those who found the "review" unsettling realize how overly-critical this article was. Based on the few commentaires on her review, I see I'm not the only one who feels that her review could've been a lot better. I was not judging the fact that she didn't like the movie, but rather that she just needs to put plus thought into her reviews. Your thoughts on my thoughts on her thoughts?

“Curse toi Parker the Platypus!” – A P.o.M fan fiction.
August 20th, 2011. Seaville Aqua Fun Park. Staten Island, New York.
Parker the platypus sighed in frustration and utter boredom as he rested his elbows on the stone ledge surrounding his habitat- if toi could even call it /that/. Did these bozos /actually/ expect him to perform?

    I scanned Marlene from head to toe. Her once beautiful eyes were still blank, yet her expression was warped with anger. Her paws were in fists, balled to her sides and she was poised for combat. I’ll admit, Marlene’s extremely attractive when she’s angry—hey, don’t judge me, I’m entitled to an opinion!—but the way she was looking at me at that moment, like she wanted to decorate the room with my insides, never have I longed to see her smile plus in my life.

     Fallout Chapter 2: Following in his Footsteps

Private stepped outside and was greeted par the bright sun. He’s never seen a light so bright before due to the fact he’s lived inside an underground voûte all his life. His eyes were able to adjust to the bright sunlight, and as soon as he did he saw the outside world. Wasteland, everything around him was destroyed. Roads, nearby houses, the landscape, everything. Private followed the road, thinking it would lead him to where his father is. As he’s waddling, he can’t help but to look at all the destruction around...

I know what you're probably thinking. Why haven't I told her yet? Why haven't I a dit anything to anybody about it? Well, that comes later. Anyway, most of the afternoon isn't that important. It was what happened later on that night that really worried me.

My team and I were away in our bunks, sleeping soundly. Well, at least my team was. Every time I came close to finally drifting into a slumber, I could see Dr. Deranged coming at me with one of those needles and injecting me with some kind of poison. Eventually, I ended up lying on my back staring at the ceiling. I know it's crazy—what reason...

(my first in a series of episode style fan fictions. and par that, i mean, the sort of stuff you'd see in an episode)


April 1st, 2013.

The Penguins woke up early that morning. Skipper watched the rest of his team tiredly crawl out of bed. Kowalski was first, followed par Private, and Rico....well, he just sort of rolled out of lit and hit the floor. He was still asleep.

Several attempts to wake him up were made until Private had the bright idea of placing a poisson near Rico's head, intending for him to eat it when the crazed bird woke up, but just before he could place it on the stone floor, Rico's...

Dr Blowhole gazed calmly at the moniters. There was nothing, absolutly NOTHING, going on anywhere. He was starting to get bored. He hadn't schemed against the penguins in a while.
He growled and spun towards the lobsters. There was no plan.

Unless...

Yes. He felt it. It stared at the very corner of his mind and crept slowly along until he was consumed par it. A new plan!
"Lobsters!!" He yelled, smiling slyly.




Dr Blowhole: *singing while slowly driving around the crowd of his lobsters*
I know that your levels of thinking,
are as low as the weakest of tides.
But dull as toi are, pay attention!...

He was just a manchot, pingouin with a growing depression. Not a word in the world could take the weight of the infliction off his shoulders. He was a manchot, pingouin who just needed to run away and have a good cry. But he wouldn't let that happen. He knew he couldn't. I'm a man.I'm a man. He told himself that so many times. Now he walked, head hanging, shoulders drooped. Here could be found no glory, no spirit of freedom, no lack of affliction. Only the mark of an outcast, the weight of regection and hate were seen. Rain clouds were drawn to him overhead. Slowly raindrops began to fall. Not after long rain...

Sorry you, always have to wait so long, I keep struggling to decide what happens suivant and the it's power outages, exams, etc. All of the sudden my computer won't let me on fanpop and I have to use my dad's computer.

Skipper: Hey, the hatch finally opened!
Marlene: There's the braniac!

They all went for him, but as they jumped 1 par 1 Kowalski paralyzed them. And once the king froze Mort jumped onto his (Skipper's) feet, knowing that Julien can't kick him away now, then he got La Reine des Neiges too.

Julien: Show's toi for touching the feet!

Kowalski: That's everyone! Wait! I'm missing one!

Skipper: Over here!...

“Sorry about that compadre. Not too much I can do about him. Anyway, we are going to help toi get over this.” Skipper told Kowalski after Julien’s attempted interference. “But how?” Kowalski asked. “Ugh! Enough Kowalski! I’ve had enough of your ‘buts’!” Private suppressed a giggle. “Private! Do toi have to giggle at every ‘but’ reference?” Skipper asked the young cadet angrily. “Sorry sir.” Private replied. “What do toi want to do Kowalski?” Skipper asked his lieutenant. “Wallow in self-pity…” Kowalski muttered. Skipper slapped him. “Kowalski! There’s...

The pengins began to proceed their journey before the sun came up to spare themselves from the blistering sun for awhile. That morning the heat was untoleratentable. par eleven Rico couldn't take walking anymore, so he slid on his belly.


As they inclined up a colline Private's eyes randomly began to light up. He daydreamed off into the distance. It wasn't long before Rico and Kowalski joined him in his gaze.


"What are toi boys looking at? I don't see anything." Skipper questioned.


"Don't toi see the H.Q.?" Kowalski a dit pointing to nothing.


"No, what are toi talking about Kowalski? It's a...

Note: This is not the final chapter. There's going to be one ou maybe a couple more. I hope I get plus commentaires this time, because last time I didn't get as many commentaires as anticiapated. Please, comment, if toi wish, toi don't have to, though.

The suivant jour Skipper went fishing again, and Private was alone. Private took the diary and tried to take off from where he had left off.
Dear Diary,
It is the jour before the wedding.

No that wasn't it. He finally reached it.
Dear Diary,

As the figure got closer Private shut his eyes and fell into a deep sleep. Skipper emerged out of the fog and rushed to Private's side.
S: "Private! Private, wake up! Please speak to me!"
Skipper put his head to Private's ice cold chest. A faint heartbeat caught his attention. His raced through the treacherous blizzard. He concluded his sprint when they reached a cave. Skipper held Private tight in his trembling flippers. He strode deeper into the cave with Private in his grasp firmly. Even though the immense cave seemed dank and mysterious, Skipper felt comfortable in it. After all, this was...
