User:ChessPiece21
Oh hi, didn't see you there. My name's Joe, but you can call me ChessPiece21, ChessPiece, or Chess (or even Joe, if you want). I use they/them pronouns, and love movies, books, music, and gaming. I'm currently an undergraduate student at the University of Washington (better known as UW, pronounced "you-dub"), where I'm majoring in English literature and communication studies with the desire to become a teacher. Feel free to talk with me if anything there interests you.
How I Found the Reception Family Wikis
A Reddit thread on r/moviescirclejerk, one of my favorite subreddits of all time, linked this specific wiki, the Awful Movies Wiki, back in late 2020. I had experiences on FANDOM before, but deleted my account because of inactivity, so I decided to join this wiki community. I branched out to a few others and am now on their Discord too!!!

Dick) The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Douglas Adams) Bunny (Mona Awad) Dracula (Bram Stoker) Frankenstein (Mary Shelley) My Year of Rest & Relaxation (Ottessa Moshfegh) Special Topics in Calamity Physics (Marisha Pessl) Little Women (Louisa May Alcott) One Hundred Years of Solitude (Gabriel Garcia Marquez) Teaching Frankenstein: A Cautionary Tale (Viktor James) - probably the most niche book I like |
The Twilight saga (Stephanie Meyer)
The Hunger Games series (Suzanne Collins) - so boring, it takes forever to get to the good stuff and I don't understand why people like it in the first place |
Ready Player One (Ernest Cline) - used to LOVE it, now it feels really dated and mediocre, especially with the film. |

The Star Wars series - the prequels are masterpieces.
MCU movies - a real mixed bag. DCEU movies - Shazam is great, the rest should learn from the MCU. Spirited Away - good, but definitely overhyped in my opinion. Super Mario Bros. - surprisingly I DON'T hate it! |
