About Me
He/him please. I have autism. I'm a New York Yankees fan who is very familiar with the YES Network. I also enjoy action movies. I've read this site since childhood and only jumped on because I knew the YES Network was launched on March 19, 2002 and not March 1 of that year.

I have a list of pages I've made contributions to here. I also have an sandbox, which I linked here in case I ever need it.

My Likes

 * Anything Ninja Warrior-related.
 * Dragons!
 * Action movies in general.
 * The Die Hard films. (The OG is the best one, followed by 3, 4, and 2. 5, well...)
 * Infomercials (especially the funny or memorable ones).
 * Pretty much anything from the 1980s.
 * The New York Yankees and anything related to them (obviously including the YES Network).
 * The Dallas Cowboys!
 * The SpongeBob franchise.
 * The Fast & Furious films.
 * Game shows.
 * Reality competition shows.

My Dislikes

 * Tom Brady (the quarterback). I won't even bother to explain why.
 * The New England Cheatriots (specifically, when TB was part of them).
 * The Eagles (the football team).
 * The Boston Red Sox.
 * A Good Day to Die Hard. What a shame that this was Bruce Willis' swan song in an otherwise-great franchise... Good luck finding a new John McClane.
 * The 2015 Fantastic Four movie...or should I say, "Failtastic Bore?" Perhaps one of the worst superhero films out there.
 * The old BoD of this very site.
 * UNRELIABLE INTERNET!!! (I hate slow internet too.)

My Favorite Logos
This is a work in progress. It's also a very long list, so that's why I have the tabbers. More will be added as time goes on. They are in no particular order as well. Logos that are bolded are those that I haven't watched for myself yet (the name of the company has to be bolded for a logo to count as such). Film Logos= Television Logos= Home Entertainment Logos=
 * Any of the major and mini-major studios (that includes Netflix): You name it, I will say "I love it."
 * Any Lightstorm Entertainment logo: I think it's because of the bowman. My personal favorite Lightstorm logo, BTW, is the 3rd one.
 * Largo Entertainment: I think the music (composed by James Horner, no less) is the reason.
 * Any Carolco Pictures logo (and those related to Carolco, like Cinergi Pictures Entertainment and C2 Pictures) except the 4th logo: Yeah, the animations, the fanfares, the logo designs and so on. My personal favorite Carolco logo, BTW, is the 3rd (and most famous) logo.
 * The 2nd Imagine Entertainment logo: Yes, the current version is very good, but the more realistic feel of this logo just makes this one a easy winner.
 * Mandalay Pictures: I'm guessing it's because of the tiger.
 * Mutual Film Company: I don't know exactly why. It just came up.
 * Any Marvel Studios logo used in films: The "Flipbook" concept actually works well, so yeah. My personal favorite Marvel logo, BTW, is the 3rd logo used in the MCU.
 * Storm King Productions: It's been a while since I've seen the fully-animated logo for this company, but for what it's worth, I think it's actually well done, even for a wasted logo.
 * The 3rd Original Film logo: The concept is pretty simplistic, but the CGI is pretty good, so there you go.
 * The 2nd Beacon Pictures logo: It's a simplistic concept, yes. But it's a good one as well.
 * Both Castle Rock Entertainment logos: Oh look, it's a concept that works. The music helps too.
 * Both Regency Enterprises logos: I think it's the music, much like with Largo.
 * Bregman/Baer Productions Inc.: I guess the animation and music made this one a favorite for me.
 * The Nickelodeon Movies logo from the first SpongeBob movie: For a logo that was wasted, while it feels like a acid trip or fever dream, it boasts so much creativity that I just can't help but enjoy it.
 * The 2nd PolyGram Filmed Entertainment logo: I'm guessing it's the CGI and the basic concept.
 * The 1990 Viacom Productions logo (aka the "Wigga-Wigga"): I'm guessing it's the "wigga-wigga-wigga-wigga" sounds.
 * Belisarius Productions: Yeah, for some reason I seem to enjoy logos with outdated animation.
 * SFM Entertainment: Pretty much the same reason as the Belisarius logo.
 * Anything from the major studios (that includes the 2nd Warner Home Video logo, aka the "Cheesy Shield").
 * DMS Video: Oof, the animation on this logo is very obviously outdated. As I pointed out with Belisarius, however, I seem to enjoy logos with animation that haven't aged well, and the graphics and animation low-key remind me of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System's Super FX chip.
 * The 1st Pony Canyon logo: As with the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie Nickelodeon Movies logo, this feels like an acid trip or fever dream. It can also cause eyestrain or seizures in sensitive/epileptic people. For me, though, this is one of those "so bizarre it's good" logos. The painfully obviously outdated CGI helps.
 * The 1st Prism Entertainment logo: Again, I think the outdated animation is why.

My Least Favorite Logos
This is a work in progress. Logos that I find scary do not count. Again, I have the tabbers because this will be a very long list, and they are in no particular order. Logos that are bolded are those that I haven't watched for myself yet (again, the name of the company has to be bolded for a logo to count as such). Film Logos= Television Logos= Home Entertainment Logos=
 * The 4th Carolco logo: Not a good swan song for the original incarnation of Carolco.
 * The 1st PolyGram Filmed Entertainment logo: For some reason, this just doesn't cut it. But it at least has more creativity than the home video counterpart.
 * The other Nickelodeon Movies logo from 2004: The CGI is good, but the concept is lacking for some reason. It's pretty sad, amirite?
 * The 2010 Nickelodeon Movies logo: Again, while the CGI is good, the concept just lacks the creativity that the other logos (especially the SpongeBob one) had. It's even less creative than the other 2004 logo the company used.
 * Bryanston Pictures: I'm gettin' cold feet just writing about this. The logo is ominous, yes, but the controversy surrounding the company (it was funded by actual crime) just makes it even worse...
 * Open Road Films: The simplistic concept they used isn't really something I'm fond of.
 * The 3rd Summit Entertainment and 2nd Summit Premiere logos: What a massive downgrade in the logo department. It's just the words "SUMMIT ENTERTAINMENT/PREMIERE" floating in the sky before turning around and becoming the byline "A LIONSGATE COMPANY," which lasts longer than the actual logo. I'd say it's a bit better than the 2016 Anchor Bay Entertainment and 2016-2022 Starz/Encore logos though.
 * The original version of the Sony Pictures Television Studios logo: Pretty disappointing that this was how the SPTS name hit our screens.
 * Fox 21 (plus Fox 21 Television Studios, the 2020 incarnation of Touchstone Television, and pretty much any other television logo with the "typewriter" motif): I can see whoever did these was pretty lazy.
 * Any Starz/Encore logo from 2016-2022 (including the final Anchor Bay Entertainment logo, a home entertainment logo at that) except the pre-show Starz logo: Talk 'bout the definition of "lazy and low-effort." All they show is the logo flashing into existence above a glow on the floor and on a black background (the opening Starz logo is on a plain black background), and this exact format is used across several different logos. These logos all look like a slightly more-polished version of something you could make in iMovie. The final Anchor Bay logo especially doesn't sit well with me, as it is such an massive downgrade from the company's other logos. Sucks quite a bit that the company went out on a whimper in the logo department.
 * CBS Television Distribution: I think the lone reason is it plasters over logos.
 * Ear Booker Productions: It's a logo with very rapidly flashing lights, and it was on a 1997 CBS show that was meant for children. Need I say more?
 * Ruby's Tuna: Any idea how this is even a logo to begin with?
 * Enterprise Producciones S.A.: "Blatant content theft" is what perfectly describes this sorry attempt at making a logo. As has been pointed out so many times, it blatantly steals literally everything from Prism Entertainment's first logo and, in the case of the audio, also poorly and obviously loops it past a certain point. Even the small amount of actually original content looks poor, with the slowly-appearing lines and the choppy animation of "ENTERPRISE" sliding in.
 * Boyd's: The whole thing feels sloppy, to say the least.
 * Melisa Video: The design of the logo itself actually looks really cool, but in motion, it doesn't deliver. It lasts over 30 seconds, and much of the runtime is spent randomly applying random effects to the logo. How exciting. It reminds me of those cheap "logo effects" videos that litter logo YouTube.
 * The 1st Mr. Video logo: While the music itself is actually pretty good and a bit catchy, the visual portion... falls short. All it really consists of is the words "Mr. Video PRESENTS" flashing in and out of existence in front of a - glow, and we have to sit through 40 straight seconds of this.
 * The 2nd Cyclo Video logo: The first half of the logo (with the fan forming) is alright, but the animation of the second half is very choppy and laggy-feeling, with the fan colors awkwardly disappearing and sometimes even leaving behind remnants, which I feel ruined what would have otherwise been a OK low-budget logo.
 * Class Video: Unnecessarily slow, choppy animation, very poor audio quality, and a overlong runtime of approximately a full minute make for a classless logo that also happens to be quite a snoozefest.
 * Both Photo Video logos: Whoever made these logos wanted to do so on a very low budget. For the 1st logo, why the hell is there random footage of fireworks? Why the hell are there sequences with random patterns being formed? What the hell is with the eye-straining trailing? Why the hell does all of this go on for nearly two minutes?! As for the 2nd logo, why did they randomly insert footage of an harbor into the logo?
 * The 1st Speedy Video logo: Not only do the ground and sky combined look ugly color-wise, but to quote HibiscusCrown20, they look absolutely disgusting put together. The sky is some repugnant shade of dark green while the ground is with a texture that looks like several glowstones in Minecraft glued together. The resulting background looks like a poor-man's version of a boss fight from Super Mario 64, and even that's pushing it because even Nintendo 64 games still have better-looking backgrounds (and even ground textures) in comparison! The music is also very cheesy, and the animation of the metal man running is just laughably bad. It's pretty crazy that this particular logo was used for as long as it was.
