The Lost City was another movie that we’d meant to watch awhile ago. We decided to watch it while celebrating our anniversary. This ended up being the perfect choice, as it’s a story that’s filled with romance. Not always in the way you might expect. Think of it as if Indiana Jones was written to…
This had been a movie on my to see list, and we’d planned on seeing it in theaters, but life got in the way. I am Dungeons & Dragons adjacent. I’m someone who plays a multitude of tabletop games, but not D&D regularly. Directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, and written by them…
I made a promise at the start of the strikes not to give any struck companies promotion for free. And so much has happened, but I’ve been content to write drafts and save them. Something that’s happened online this week requires a comment (without talking about the movie itself). The silence from a lot of…
In the sports world, The Athletic just went through another round of layoffs. With their layoffs focusing on “less popular local coverage” – with their MLB, NBA and NHL coverage hit the hardest. I think a lot of people are still waiting to see who is gone, but that seems to be the where the…
I spend a lot of my time on TikTok, and I’ve found myself on the outskirts of BookTok. Mostly because I was looking for more books with Latine characters. My FYP (For You Page, for the uninitiated) has been taken up with discussion about romance author Kate Stewart, and criticism after it was discovered that…
Like many people, I saw Wonder Woman 84 over the holidays. And, I’ve been trying to figure out how to broach the biggest issue I saw with the movie. Not the CG, not loopholes in the timeline – those are part and parcel with any superhero movie (or story on paper, anyways). But it was…
The National Board of Review is saying that The Irishman is the best movie of the year. Look, I haven’t seen it. My husband has – and even as a Scorsese fan, he said it wasn’t that great. Based on the reviews, reviewers seem to equate length of film and career as the arbiter of…
Cancel Culture. Even if you don’t know the term, I’m sure you know what I’m talking about – a celebrity is terrible online and we declare them cancelled. Most of the time, it’s a worthy target. A continuously gross celebrity (like Roseanne Barr) who spews intolerance and hate. Someone’s who has proven that over the…
Watching the Indy marathon on the Paramount Channel, I’ve come to a realization. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull isn’t as bad of a movie as society collectively decided it was. …first things first, I am not defending the alien subplot. I will never defend any plot point that implies that the people of the Americas…
Last night on the Emmys, one of the most talked about moments was Sean Spicer coming out with a podium – ala Melissa McCarthy’s performance of him. The crowd at the Emmys was stunned, but it got laughs. And indeed, a lot of people found it funny online. And heck, James Corden, tried to kiss…
