Some Thoughts, Even More Mistakes
With March Madness just one week away (please don't fuck that up coronavirus, I'm begging you*), I decided to take a look at the 10 greatest sports days on the calendar each year. Any sports-related days/events that only come around once a year was eligible. Events that do not take place annually, such as the … Continue reading The Top 10 Sports Days of the Year
"I like to do things that are a little surrealistic but with characters who are real. So that, even if things are a little unusual, the emotions will come through anyway." - Wes Anderson Surreal and unusual are two words that can be used to accurately describe Wes Anderson's films but the reason I really appreciate … Continue reading Wes Anderson – Ranked
I'm often agitated, I'm frequently bothered, I'm usually confused. There are a lot of things I don't like or understand. This is a list of those things. I believe there are a lot of things in society that we, as the human race, could improve on. I'm not talking about war, genocide, racism, poverty, or … Continue reading 10 Common Things In Society That Should Have Improved By Now But Haven’t For Some Reason
I say this with great fear of being outed as incredibly basic, but The Office is a very important show to me. NBC's seminal comedy series was a favorite of mine even before it became one of Netflix's biggest attractions. I used to watch it live back when it was airing, I bought all the DVD's … Continue reading Every Season of The Office – Ranked
Your 20s are one of the most interesting time periods of your life. It is the time in which you officially enter adulthood. Anyone who says this transition happens at 18 is a lunatic. I remember what I was like at 18, and there is no chance that immature, adolescent, insecure mess of a human … Continue reading Fuck It, Spend More Money in Your 20s – My Take
I've heard a lot about Céline Sciamma's fourth feature film, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, over the course of the past few months. It became a favorite of many film critics once the film started playing on the festival circuit. It even won the Best Screenplay award at the Cannes film festival back in … Continue reading Portrait of a Lady on Fire Is 2019’s Hidden Masterpiece – Review
I love beer. There's no doubt that it's a versatile beverage. You can never really go wrong with a beer. That being said, there are certain situations where that can, pint-glass, or bottle just tastes better. That's why I decided to make this list. This isn't a list of brands of beer, or types of … Continue reading The Top 15 Beers in Your Life* (*Written By a 23 Year Old)
Cameron Crowe is one of the more interesting filmmakers of the last 30 years. He has made some beloved films, but one cannot write about the career of Crowe without acknowledging the incredible peaks and valleys that exist within his filmography — as well as the fact that he hasn't really made a great movie in … Continue reading Cameron Crowe – Ranked
The New York Mets. The most destructive, problematic, and toxic relationship I've ever been a part of. While this offseason has been a shitshow for the sport of baseball in general, it has been quite the interesting offseason for Mets fans as well. We had to watch out crosstown rival sign Gerrit Cole. We had … Continue reading I’m Ready To Get My Heart Broken Again: The Mets Offseason and Yoenis Cespedes Won’t Speak To Anyone
Many of the most memorable nights of my life were nights that were unplanned, nights that diverged from their original plan, or nights that were loosely planned the day-of. There's a beauty in that sort of spontaneity. Now, I know what you're thinking, I sound like a girl on hinge whose profile reads, "I just … Continue reading Dear Over-Planners: You Suck and Everyone Hates You – My Take
The writing, directing team of Nat Faxon and Jim Rash are the minds behind one of my favorite films of 2013, The Way Way Back. Finally, after seven years, they have released their second film, a remake of the french film Force Majeure entitled Downhill. The excellent way they blended comedy and drama in their 2013 debut greatly … Continue reading Downhill: Frequently Entertaining, Ultimately Underwhelming – Review
So, Birds of Prey has been available to the public for only four days, and already has a new title. The film's original title, Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), was changed after a disappointing opening weekend at the box office. The film is now called Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey. Like I … Continue reading Why Birds of Prey Struggled at the Box Office, and An Examination of the Current State of DC Films
There are two types of people in the world: People who eat breakfast everyday, and people like myself who have not figured out how to be an adult yet.

As a … Continue reading BREAKFAST (And A Small Existential Crisis About Becoming An Adult) – My Take

Well, it's finally that time. The 92nd Oscar's take place this Sunday night. This feel like one of the most predictable Oscar years in recent memory. The four acting categories seem to have been decided over a month ago, and there are clear frontrunners for Best Picture and Best Director as well. Not too many … Continue reading 2020 Academy Awards: Predictions and Picks
The Oscar's are only a few days, but I decided to give out some of my own awards before then. As we all know, the Oscar's can only nominate so many films each year, and they tend to omit many films, filmmakers, and actors that deserve recognition and celebration. So, I have decided to create … Continue reading Celebrating The Films of 2019 With Awards That Don’t Exist at The Oscar’s
The Academy has a very convoluted way of selecting the Best Picture winner, and it's all Batman's fault. Allow me to explain. When the Academy revealed their Oscar nominations in 2009, they were met with great pushback because Christopher Nolan's acclaimed film The Dark Knight did not receive a Best Picture nomination. This caused the … Continue reading Explaining and Analyzing The Confusing Way The Academy Chooses Best Picture
The 92nd Academy Awards take place this Sunday. They will honor the films from the final year of the 2010s. Many consider 2019 to be the best movie year of the decade. Personally, I think 2017 is a real competitor, but I would still probably have to give the nod to 2019. It was an … Continue reading Best Picture Winners From The 2010s – Ranked

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’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.
