This is ostensibly what I do.
My nickel is on a Harris win, very possibly with room to spare. But to preface today’s remarks with some context: This could be the closest presidential election since 1876 A lot of state poll results show ties. So are they tied because of voters — or pollsters? There...
“No Outside Food” At Movie Theaters Is A Racist Policy.
It just is. There was an article in The Guardian about movie theater pricing that triggered some PTSD flashbacks. The sensationalism of the theater economy slowly collapsing is fun to watch and makes for a better show, but it’s always worth shining a light on how theater companies can...
My Superhero Name is Unpopular Opinionman*
Watching The Daily Show and Last Week Tonight, there’s a visceral thrill in seeing the moral centers of the Left going into a very me-like rage mode at the state of the world. The sense that the universe is catching up, that reality is catching on, that words can...
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’s Antisemitic Dad And Why Anyone Listens To His Crap.
You never know who you’re talking to on the internet. That profile picture, that bio, AI isn’t even the boogeyman here- a simple copy-paste may have created a cypher and left you to personify it. And even if that person is real, and is who they claim to be,...
I Want My MTV
On my chosen subject of politics, Twitter is replete with the most intellectual idiots you can imagine. There are whole crowds of “moderate” Republicans walking (tweeting?) around just shocked- SHOCKED, I say – that there is depravity in their institution. “We never saw it coming!” “Trump corrupted the GOP!”...
Seeking an Ally Sheedy for the End of the World
I was watching ‘Wargames’ the other day, and it may very well have been the first time I ever watched it though decent speakers. I swear there were notes in those music cues that I’ve never heard before. “Wargames’ has always been a fun watch, if a little on...
The Falcon and the Whiter Soldier- a second look
I’m interviewing for a writing job so I feel like I should be watching my mouth here. Luckily, race in America is no longer an issue, amirite? Falcon and the Winter Soldier has entered the rotation of shows that play well in my background. It’s actiony sure, but the...
Marvel Movies Ranked, group 3: the Fugly.
Wherein Dave pisses you off a little bit by crapping on your favorite. But seriously, though- these were just bad. Like Star Wars’ Episodes 1, 7, 8, & 9, they’re all carried more by the momentum of what’s going on around them. That’s right, I went there too. Doctor...
The Lokiverse dun Broke the MCU: A Love Story
This isn’t actually a love story, that was just a better title. But I do have a theory – and I think it’s a good one – that makes most of this shit make sense. To state the obvious up front, Endgame really did some weird shit with time....
Marvel Movies Ranked, group 2: The Eh.
Totally gonna go there, calling foul on some popular favorites. Sorry kids, but Captain America is a proud anti-law ass, and Iron Man is a short-attention-span killer. Whoops. Iron Man 2 I was at an ArcLight for this, the one in Sherman Oaks. One of their gimmicks was to...
