The Bizzaro World, ©Tom Tomorrow, 2016 There’s something that has been on my mind the last couple days since I was having a conversation with Steph and I’ve been trying to figure it out. So I want to do a thought experiment and see what people’s feedback is. Ok, so Donald…
Attention… I’d just like to point out that as of 9:21AM, Eastern Daylight Time, July 2, 2017, the United States Presidential Archives now OFFICIALLY forever includes a video of the President of the United States of America in a catfight with a man with a CNN logo for a head outside of a WWE wrestling ring…
Well that was a fucking movie! I know it seems like I say that in a lot of reviews. But it’s all about inflection. You can tell it’s different because of the word “fucking” See, I walk out of a lot of movies and I say something like… “well… that was a movie…” and it’s…
So, in the name of continuing to pimp my academic career (since some people have said that they’re interested in knowing what I do… and also just because it’s probably a good idea that I try to do that more than I have been) – as well as proving to all you motherfuckers that I…
My friend Max and I went to go see the fifth installment of Transformers yesterday. We knew it would be bad… but he’s a big fan of Transformers movies from childhood and I am a fan of the magic of motion picture cinema and will pretty much watch anything. So off we went. And even…
There was one reason and one reason only that I wanted to see Rough Night. Because when I saw Wonder Woman, I saw the trailer literally back to back with the trailer for Girl’s Trip. From the trailers alone, they appear to be literally the exact same movie. Basically “hey, you know The Hangover? We…
Weird gendering of holidays and marketing question: So, Steph and I were driving and we heard a commercial for Tommy John underwear. The premise of the commercial was “isn’t it hard to find your dad something for Father’s Day? Why not get him something he really wants. A bunch of attractive, well-fitting, stylish, high-quality underwear…
Before I wrote my Wonder Woman review… in fact… even before I saw it, I started thinking about the way I, and other people rate movies. See at that point I was still afraid of the possibility that Wonder Woman wouldn’t actually be good. It turns out it was, but I didn’t know that yet. And…
Once upon a time I used to take photos regularly. Then grad school happened. It turns out grad school is not terribly conducive to free time for side careers. Whodathunk, right? Anyway, I was contacted by the lovely and talented Chelsey to shoot some promo photos for her hula hooping performance art business. And like if you’re…
I’ve had a strange relationship with the build up for Wonder Woman. I remember when they announced it was on the docket for the DCEU several years ago. There seemed to be no real plan other than “get a female super hero movie out before Marvel does” and that’s never a great way to start.…
You know there was a time a couple years ago when I spent a lot of time writing about cops randomly killing black people for sport and how sometimes it’s a good idea to burn your own city to the ground in order to get attention. Eventually the #BlackLivesMatter movement started and that’s kinda great. And then…
For reasons that I don’t entirely understand, Stephanie had been dying to see the movie reboot of Baywatch. She’s never mentioned the show before. She’s never spoken of her love for post-Knight Rider David Hasselhoff or pre-Hat Squad Billy Warlock. She’s never regaled me with tales of how she learned how to do an emergency tracheotomy…
Big Trumper is Watching About two weeks before the 2016 presidential election I was talking to my mother on the phone and I said something to the effect of “I am looking forward to seeing exactly how Donald Trump will bring about the downfall of America once he wins. I remember…
So in the name of continuing to pimp my academic career… I’ll be speaking TWICE at the 3 Rivers Screenwriters Conference at Point Park University (in Pittsburgh) this weekend. Despite the name, the conference is NOT just for screenwriting. Though there’s plenty of that going on. It’s an academic and professional conference devoted to “the…
When the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie came out, I wasn’t expect much. I’m not really much of a fan of the comic. It’s fine. I didn’t think it would suck or anything. It just looked like “oh, a movie with Rocket Raccoon. That ought to be fun maybe.” I was very pleasantly surprised…
