As much as I dislike the Mandarin simplifications, they're definitely far from illogical. I don't know if you can find it here in America, but in China there are very thick tomes that elaborate and explain all the simplifications and all the rules for it. If something seems strange and nonsensical, there's actually a very lengthy explanation for it.

Does that apply to Michael Bay movies?

I forgot about this one, this one is beautiful as well

1240 弟 "Younger brother"

after studying over 1500 characters, still some of the simpler ones strike me as the most profoundly beautiful... 女、妥、悪。。。I don't see any of them as ugly, though maybe clunky. So in small print it looks so incredibly scrunched together, like a smudge.

He makes movies? I thought movies usually have plots

1918 為 "Do"

Any kanji that I write are pretty ugly.
