I don’t think to post to my own blog that much lately. Actually, I do THINK about it, but I don’t get around to it as much. Mostly because any time I have a long form thinky pseudo academic thing to say, it ends up going into a VoxPopcast post/epsiode (so make sure you go…
(as the title says, herein be spoilers… you know… and dragons… though given the show, way less dragons than you might expect) So I’m having weird thoughts about the reaction I’m seeing online to last night’s Game of Thrones (s08e02). First of all, I want to point out that I really liked the episode. Some…
I haven’t seen the new Captain Marvel movie yet, so this is not my review… it’s more of a pre-review? I guess? Preview sounds weird. Anyway, I think one of my favorite things lately is reading the pre-release buzz about Captain Marvel. In particular, I’m loving the one very particular type of criticism. In the…
As has been the standard for my summer of adjunct online teaching I’ve basically spent every waking moment this weekend grading papers. Wheee!!! So it’s possible that there’s been some erosion of my already tentative grasp on sanity. You know… it’s possible. So anyway, I was taking a break from grading to eat lunch with…
Yesterday was a good movie watching day for me. I already posted my review of Happy Death Day earlier, but since I finally got my Movie Pass card, Steph and I decided to make it a double feature and went to another movie that I had been really looking forward to right after. The biopic…
Kat contemplating socks…. (©PhotoKat 2007) So there‘s thIs weird thing that’s been weighing on my mind for the last month. It started as one of those deep philosophical questions that one just ponders from time to time but over the last 24 hours or so it has become something of an…
I actually never saw the first Kingsman movie in the theater. That was a mistake; once I watched it at home I loved it. It was ridiculous and simple and yet in many ways completely brilliant in the way in which it reinvented and flipped the tropes of the spy movie into something fun and…
Fair Warning: Beyond here be SPOILERS. And Dragons… you have been warned. So there’s some Game of Thrones things happening in the last few episodes that have gotten me really thinking. Specifically things that relate to the relationship between fan favorite characters Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen. I think it’s been interesting to watch them…
I was talking to my friend Kaitlin the other day and she mentioned a friend asking her to see 50 Shades Darker, the new 50 Shades of Gray movie. Now, I know that a lot of people I know are very split on the 50 Shades books/films. First off, since I know a lot of people…
So this week I watched the entire series of Westworld. It had beed recommended to me a few times, but I had been too busy to try it out. Now I’m caught up. I enjoyed it. The season finale was…. ennnh… good and bad points. There was one thing that bothered me about it a…
Now that my class on comics is over, I can get back to focusing on some of my own work. It’s another one of those times where I am doing some research for a comics paper and so it’s totally useful for me to just outsource some of my research to the internet. In this…
(This is a review of the Batman: The Killing Joke animated movie adaptation that was just released. I’m going to mostly avoid spoilers if I can, but they will be there. But the book is from 1988. Honestly, there isn’t much to spoil… but if you’re worried about that… well, i guess that’s your damn fault for waiting…
As much as I believe that Al Gore invented the internet solely to give me a place to rant and rave, every once in a while I just see something that I want to repost just because it’s funny. So this skit I came across, I guess is intended to be funny… but really, it’s…
Here’s a little secret about me that you might not have guessed. I like fucking. Really, fucking is very fun. It’s awesome. If you haven’t tried it, I highly recommend it. Best thing ever. But, do you know what’s significantly less fun than fucking? Screwing! Fucking is hot. It’s sexy. It just sounds like a a good…
So remember like a month ago when i asked people to help me come up with virginity quest films for a paper I was working on? I’m still working on that paper. Yesterday, while working on this with my project partner, Miranda, we decided to start tracking real life statistics on virginity. If you follow me…
