Here's who I blame.
Here's who I blame.
I have been hearing nothing but good things about this movie, so I'm looking forward to seeing it…but I will admit that, when I first saw the trailer and read about the film, my reaction was, "Oh, great, another story about troubled white men from Massachusetts. Just what the world needs."
The idea of "self-care" in this time is a hard thing for me, at the moment. I'm in a weird place where, any time I'm having fun and not thinking about ways to fight and/or make the situation better, I start to feel guilty, like I'm somehow not doing my part if I take a couple hours to just dick around. I know that's…
And another thing.
Here's what I think.
I actually enjoyed this more than I expected based on what I'd read in reviews. I mean, yeah, Doctor Strange shares some similarities with Tony Stark/Iron Man (rich a-hole learns responsibility while gaining cool powers), but, I mean…that's the character from the comics. Beyond that, I thought the movie did some fresh…
Is it? Their professional basketball organization won the NBA championship this year.
"Asshole" form. Not "astro." Sheesh. Get it right.
For years, friends told me all about how the original Halloween is one of the scariest movies ever made. I watched it in a dark basement, home alone, in the middle of the night. I was absolutely, unquestionably bored out of my skull the entire time.
Shut down Twitter next.
I am all in on Dr. Chuck Tingle. Just waiting to save enough money so I can donate enough to get the unicorn butt cop t-shirt.
I don't think Beckham needs to be lambasted for throwing a tantrum, but I do think it's stupid…not because it's a "distraction," or something dumb like that, but because he's an adult human doing a job. Sure, that job is catching a ball while wearing tight pants, but still. I mean, not saying he can't have emotions,…
HOW DARE YOU???
Yes, but how many awesome movies about teenage vampires did you appear in?
But that kind of assumes there's an objective measurement of the quality of said changes. I mean, again, in the '90s, my parents said music was observably worse than what they listened to growing up…and their parents said the same thing about, like, Elvis and the Beatles. So, whose observation is right? Where was this…
Older people talking about what's wrong with younger people is something I always kind of cast a skeptical eye on (I'm talking more about Moby, here, than you, since I don't actually know where you'd end up in the generational spectrum). We *used to* do this, we *used to* have that, culture was so much better in my…
Then *don't watch the clip*. Seriously. I still haven't seen the Corey Feldman performance. Why? Because I really don't care one way or the other and no one is forcing me to view it, Clockwork Orange-style.
OK, but a) Who cares? Like, did Corey Feldman's performance on the Today Show somehow diminish your quality of life? And b) Who's to say when the two meet? You? Me? Some general consensus of Internet commentary? Hey, here's a list of artists everyone hated in their lifetime other than Van Gogh: Henry David Thoreau,…
Why? Van Gogh's work was roundly derided in his time. I'm not comparing Feldman and Van Gogh, but if the latter had just thought, "You know, no one really likes what I'm doing, so I'm going to stop," what would we have missed out on?
It gets The Today Show brand awareness and NBC a larger number to show advertisers when it comes to online engagement, which in turn gets them more money, which is the goal of every corporation in American capitalism. Yay, modern media landscape.
