If we're friends, don't be nice to me. Have you ever been around a group of friends that is just really supportive and nice to each other like ALL the time? Even when you're hanging out with them in a casual, comfortable setting they still like... root for one another? It's fucking weird. I simply … Continue reading Friends Who Are Nice To Each Other All The Time Creep Me Out – My Take

I was watching." - Paul Thomas Anderson A quote like this is so fascinating and illuminating to me when thinking about Paul Thomas Anderson's films and the characters that inhabit them. One of the many … Continue reading Paul Thomas Anderson – Ranked
I’m aware of what Marvel movies are. What I mean by that is I know they’re not the most prestigious form of filmmaking that exists. I know there have been great Marvel movies and I know there have been bad Marvel movies. I know that many of the films follow are extremely formulaic, which can … Continue reading Marvel Cinematic Universe – Ranked
What do people do? That's a real question because I honestly have no idea. So recently I've realized that at the age of 23 years old I don't really have a single answer to the question, "what are your hobbies?" And this is a problem because when you have a lot of boring conversations on … Continue reading Do People Actually Even Have Hobbies Anymore? – My Take
"Best boy band since One Direction" I read this news today on The Playlist and wanted to share some of my initial thoughts on it because it's honestly one of the more exciting pieces of movie news I've heard in a while. I love BROCKHAMPTON and I love Kevin Abstract. I also think Shia LaBeouf had … Continue reading Shia LaBeouf Has Apparently Written A Film About The Life of Kevin Abstract
For a long time now, January has been known to be a sort-of cinematic garbage can for studios to dump their trash in at the beginning of the year. Every time we turn the calendar from one year to the next we can expect a hoard of bad movies to fill theaters across the country. … Continue reading Bad Boys For Life: The Blueprint For a New Type of January Release? – Review
This news broke over the weekend and I've already gone through the steps of hating it immediately, trying to talk myself into it, focusing on all the positives of it and ignoring the negatives, and then inevitably back to hating it. Obviously I understand the thought process of finding coordinators with experience to pair with … Continue reading Giants Offseason Blog No.2- We Hired Jason Garrett For Some Reason
My record in the playoffs thus far: 4-2-2 Three games left in the 2019-2020 season sounds depressing. It sounds even more depressing when you say “there’s one less game left than the Giants win total for the season.” But there are some good things this year, seeing as two years ago I had to watch … Continue reading NFL Championship Sunday Preview and Picks

“You’re Not Actually Having Fun, You’re Just Drunk” As I’ve grown a little older, I have started to realize that everything in society that’s supposed to be fun actually sucks. Specifically, everything that is supposed to be fun for “adults.” For some reason we all collectively grouped together a bunch of activities and decided these … Continue reading Most Things That Are Supposed To Be Fun Actually Suck – My Take
I wasn’t sure if I wanted to write this. Truthfully, the conversation surrounding Todd Phillips’ Joker had become exhausting about one week after it was released in theaters back in October. In actuality, the conversation that engulfed this film and turned it into such a controversial, divisive moment in American pop culture started weeks before the … Continue reading Revisiting Joker: A Deep Dive Into 2019’s Most Controversial Film And The Discourse That Has Surrounded It
Let’s get the most important thing out of the way first, which is me. I predicted 15 categories on Friday and got 62 correct nominees out of a total 79. Not bad, not great, but I did go 9 for 9 in my best picture so I’m counting that as a success. Now to my … Continue reading The 2020 Academy Award Nominations – My Reaction
Day Drinking: Two of the most exciting, yet dangerous, words in the English language. #RespectTheDayDrink I am a defender of, and advocate for, day drinking. Think about it, who doesn’t love the daytime, and who doesn’t love drinking? It’s a match made in heaven. Critics of day drinking (boring people) often say things like, “Ugh … Continue reading Respect The Day Drink – My Take
The 2020 Oscar nominees are going to be announced Monday morning. 2019 was perhaps the best movie year of the decade and one of the best of the past 20 years.

This is going to be a series were I rank things. It’s called ranked. To start this series off I wanted to write about the career of one my all time favorite writers and directors, Noah Baumbach. I find Baumbach to be one of the most exciting active directors in the world, perhaps this is … Continue reading Noah Baumbach – Ranked
I’ve deleted and redownloaded Tinder more times than I’d like to admit. I know that particular experience is not unique to me. I’m sure there are many lost, single, depressed boys and girls in college or in their 20s who go through periods of swiping like a motherfucker only to then a few months or … Continue reading Dating Apps Suck and Are Probably Doing Weird Shit To Our Brains – My Take
Hand up, I know next to nothing about this man. But hey, ABJG (Anything but Jason Garrett.) The fact that Garrett was even a rumor and many Giants fans, myself included, were frightened of that possibility just shows the state in which this organization is in. (Edit: He might get hired as the offensive coordinator, … Continue reading Giants Offseason Blog No.1- We Have A Coach
I'm writing this after spending the entire day drinking while watching football so bear with me, we're gonna make this as short as possible. Let's start with the positives: Phoebe Waller-Bridge won Best Actress in a TV series, Musical or Comedy, and Fleabag won Best Series, Musical or Comedy, so that's dope. (By the way, … Continue reading 2020 Golden Globes Instant Reactions
“In my view, the only way to see a film remains the way the filmmaker intended: inside a large movie theater with great sound and pristine picture.”-Ridley Scott I apologize. I don’t mean to start with such a pretentious quote. I apologize for starting with a quote at all, like this is a fucking research … Continue reading Why Movie Theaters are Important, and I Still Love Going To Them – My Take
I love Star Wars. But I do believe there is a strong case to be made that this new trilogy was a failure. Not a commercial failure obviously as these movies made a ton of money and The Force Awakens still stands as the highest grossing film in terms of domestic box office. But, instead I … Continue reading 12 Reasons Disney’s Star Wars Trilogy Failed
Halloween dies on graduation day along with your hopes, dreams, and like half your college friendships. Alright, maybe that was a little dark, and I’d like to make it known I’m fully against any and all ideas that have to do with growing up. And whatever a “mature, responsible adult” is, I’m nothing short of … Continue reading Halloween Dies The Day You Receive Your College Diploma – My Take
This is the opening of a fictional short story entitled 'Live With It' I wrote in college. (Shoutout Professor Lin-Greenberg.) Falling in love is shitty for a lot of reasons. First and foremost you don’t ask for it, and you don’t know when it’s going to happen. The universe gives you no time to plan … Continue reading Live With It: A Short Story Excerpt
