This weekend’s movie was a little different. One of my local theaters, Southside Works, screened My Friend Dahmer, a biopic about a young Jeffrey Dahmer’s high school years as seen through the eyes of a friend who has no idea that Dahmer is going to grow up to be one of the country’s most notorious serial…
All you damn kids, get off my lawn!!! The thing I love about the internet: Anyone can say anything. Millions of voices, all having the potential to reach worldwide. My tiny stupid little blog has had readers from literally every continent. Including Antarctica. I can rant about comic books or movies or politics and rather…
You might have noticed it’s nearing the end of the year. And like, if you didn’t notice this… well, what’s wrong with you? Anyway, a weird thing starts happening at the end of the year. Magazines start giving out the “_____ of the Year” awards. I find these fascinating in general and that’s no surprise.…
I really thought the trailer for Coco looked interesting, and I have really been looking forward to seeing it for a while. You might notice that I don’t review many family films (in fact, this is probably the first one I’ve reviewed here). I actually really like family films. I just don’t see them in…
So when I wrote my Justice League review last week, I mentioned that there was no real story to the movie. I said that it was more or less just an instantiation of what I decided to call “Comic Book Movie Plot #3.” I also mentioned that there were roughly five standard comic book movie…
I am a quirky and angsty teenage white girl. OK… I mean… I’m not. I’m a middle aged black man. But sometimes I’m not sure. I like millennial pop music. I like YA fiction. I love me some CW TV shows (and yes, I maybe have a teeny bit of a schoolgirl crush on Stephen…
Remember how on my last review (Murder on the Orient Express) I said I was expecting to say “well, that was a movie” about Justice League as well? Well…. I *GUESS* that was a movie… I mean… there were pictures and stuff… and they moved. Does that qualify? I’ve been going back and forth about the…
A few months ago, I saw a series of portrait sets by Marcos Alberti. He had people come in and drink alcohol and get progressively drunker and took a photo after every drink. I thought the idea was kind of awesome and I wanted to put my own spin on it. Last month, Theresa was…
It’s been quite a while since I had to use the “well, I guess that technically qualifies as a movie” style of movie review. Well, it’s back. Stephanie and I went to see Murder on the Orient Express tonight and… well, i guess that technically qualifies as a movie. That’s about the highest praise I can give…
Millie Bobby Brown in W Magazine A few months ago, I wrote an article about “alternative facts” that was largely me complaining about Trump/Trump voters, and I said one problem is that liberal minded people (like myself) like to think that we own facts. That is, there’s sort of an idea…
Make no mistake, we live in the future. A lot of times I like living in the future. I have a giant flat TV with 3D projection software hanging on my wall that can pull up a million different movies at my instant command and I can control it with my watch. I own several computers…
I’m actually somewhat surprised that Thor: Ragnarok is doing well. As I write this, it is sitting at a 93% on Rotten Tomatoes and is poised to clear $100M+ for the weekend. It deserves every penny. More than any Marvel film — hell, more than any superhero film — since Captain America: The Winter Soldier,…
Ok… So lets say you’re really bent out of shape about the whole kneeling for the national anthem thing. I have a serious question for you. And I want you to sit down and think long and hard about it. Have you ever considered that you might be a racist? Don’t answer right away… I…
It’s been a while since I drew a sketch card just for the heck of it. And I wanted to clear my mind and not do dissertation stuff (been burned out). So I did 4. The many looks of Carol Danvers (Ms Marvel/Binary/Warbird/Captain Marvel). Enjoy.
Sooooo…. apparently Michael Bay is making a Dora the Explorer live action movie. Because, I mean… of course he is. Like I’ve seen the Dora the Explorer cartoon before. And totally, the one thing I think when I see it is “Wow, you know who would be great at making a live action version of…
