35. Boston. He/him. I review movies on the side.

It’s rare that I’ve enjoyed myself this much with a movie I should’ve logically hated. From a filmmaking perspective, it’s a mess… but it was just unafraid to let its freak flag fly and adapt the games in all their ridiculous glory, and for that, I can respect it.

I see you Jack Skellington on Thanksgiving and raise you…

I'm pretty sure that the Venn diagram of media types who thought #MeToo went too far and media types who are on the Epstein list is pretty close to a circle. In fact, I suspect that that's a big reason why there was so much pushback.

Expect to see the word "ephebophilia" come up a lot in conservative media in the next few weeks.

Sounds like way too many people in tech these days. That's what happens when you decide that anybody who's good at either STEM or making money is a "genius".

The console wars are why Sony's library is so stacked with great single-player games. Games like that sell consoles by showing off what they're capable of. Without a real console war, I can see Sony getting greedy and making the same mistakes as Microsoft, but with no competition to stop them.

First red flag: you’re talking to a door-knocking sales rep. I worked in that field for a month. Scummiest job I ever had. Never again.

Tariff on burlap, too. Nudism is the hot new fashion trend of 2028!

He's a symbol of that terrible 2000s/early '10s era of action movies when everybody was ripping off The Matrix and Bourne without understanding why they worked, producing tons of shaky-cam and overstylization before John Wick and Fury Road gave Hollywood action a sorely-needed kick in the ass.

Having seen several of Paul W. S. Anderson's movies, I'd argue that Paul Thomas Anderson could probably shoot better action scenes, in fact. Because I find Paul W. S. to be one of the worst action filmmakers of his time. It's telling that his best movie was pure horror rather than action.

I literally installed a pair of flagpoles on my balcony the other day to fly an American flag and a New England flag at full mast. I mean, I was gonna do it anyway, but this gave me extra reason to do so.

The entire American Conservative political project, from the White House to the FBI and parts of the Army, is currently being run as though a bunch of wrestling fans who DO NOT KNOW the sport is staged took over WWE and started crippling eachother doing hardcore matches UNSCRIPTED.

My co-workers were shitting all over Charlie Kirk today, with no pushback. They find the eulogies more repulsive than the murder itself. And I’m with them.
