For me there is only one answer.... while everything was being locked down there was for at least a few days still one major sporting event going strong: The Candidates Tournament, the most important and prestigious tournament in chess that determines who will go toe to toe against the current world champion Magnus…

Game of Thrones, True Detective, The Golden Compass, Westworld, The Twilight Zone, Monty Python’s Flying Circus, The Man in the High Castle...

Humour is like a peacocks tail. It’s prime function is to measure the overall confidence and stability of males. (This is why women love a guy with ‘a sense of humour.’) A male who is strong and confident will also be able to joke not only about others, but also about himself. Men who are weak always tend to have this…

As I come back nine years later to this spectacularly misguided review of one of the greatest episodes of television history I’m somewhat comforted... all great things are initially misunderstood, all great things are initially attacked, all great things are viewed initially through the lens of what came before as…

In the next edition of watching the entire rom-com your wife put on TV before promptly falling asleep: Burnt

A joyless self-serious slog of a tepid drama.

Lessee: A single mom chef caring for a resentful daughter that doesn’t take cr*p from anyone because she has two X chromosomes. A hot-tempered culinary genius fallen…

Stephen the Little is one of those remarkable historical figures that start of as ordinary folk but through pure happenstance get a chance to make history and take it.

Here are some other fun parts about Stephen the Little’s rule:
-He initially operated as a self-styled ‘doctor.’
-He placed the bishop who tried to out…

Sorry for being so late to the party. I’d have commented earlier, but Leslie Neilsen wasn’t dead then.

OK Go, is the king of one-shot videos, but their ‘’Upside Down and Inside Out’’ has to be their crowning achievement, a one-take extravaganza in zero g!

It is difficult to imagine nowadays, but in the earliest era of Youtube, the platform allowed isolated groups of people to connect with each other. One of the more prominent groups were atheists. Up till this point atheists were simply invisible in America to the point people were harassed if it was revealed they were…

All I can say is that I’ve never looked at chess the same way and Bob is the scariest mofo to ever hit the small screen. 

Things we’re the happiest to learn? The shameless and blatant adoration of criminals which happen to be sporting two X chromosomes was deftly parodied by the Onion in “First Female Dictator Hailed As Step Forward For Women.’’

When it comes to How I Met Your Mother and Game of Thrones people all of a sudden start acting like spoiled children. Both shows had the two of the greatest endings of all time (so, no, it’s not true that ‘no one wanted’ the ending, both endings have tons of fans, only not as vocal as the haters).

These are exactly…

Yesterday, I watched Yesterday.

A pretty nice romantic comedy. Doesn’t try to bite off more than it can chew, explores the hypothetical concept quite well and actually has a positive message of sorts. I especially enjoyed the scene where the Jack is ‘outed’ and how differently it plays out from stereotypical movies of…

Umm... there is nothing ‘traditional gg vs bg’ in the ending of Game of Thrones. Did the Unsullied or Dothraki ever answer for their war crimes? Did the Mereen or Westeros’ Ministry of Coin end up in the hands of someone who was NOT a ruthless contract killer? Is Daenerys in any sense of the word a ‘traditional bad…

The biggest problem of Westworld is that it in all seriousness asks us to root for remorseless killing machines.

Delores is a robot psycho, no way around it. She’s at this point about as interesting as Ramsey Bolton.

Maeve and her gaggle of incompetent male comic relief characters is presented as some sort of a…

I’ve tried to come up with some especially dumb ones:

‘’The concept itself is nonsense—Murray’s new Jeep makes his looped day less boring?’’

I have to ask but... why? Seems like a solid concept for an add: you got a fun new jeep you can use to explore the winter wonderland with your new furry pal.

‘’The concept itself is nonsense—Murray’s new Jeep makes his looped day less boring?’’

I have to ask but... why? Seems like a solid concept for an add: you got a fun new jeep you can use to explore the winter wonderland with your new furry pal.

I liked the commercial. It was nice, genuinely funny, tied in well with the product and a good slogan at the end. 

I’m going to my next Rob Zombie concert wearing spandex.
