There is a particular sort of awfulness to how we let bureaucracy kill one another. We watch as our brothers and sisters are hung up by red tape and left to hang for all to see. We watch as they drown beneath manufactured debt - property taxes on homes and land they own. We evict… Continue reading By the Book

Keep Getting Physical
I suppose if I were to declare a religion it’d be for physical media as that’s the subject I preach about most these days. It isn’t that social and political issues are less important, clearly, but that screaming into the void of the internet won’t do much to change those things. Obviously. WHEREAS I hope… Continue reading Keep Getting Physical
What is Success?

Tease Me
If you’re like me then you hate to see movie consumers treated as if we’re pumpkin-headed idiots who need to be treated like we’re not bright enough to pick up plots or themes. The film has to be explained fully in a trailer. Everything has to be laid out. We see this in games as… Continue reading Tease Me
Cultured
I learned a creepy term over the holidays - gun influencers. Worse, there are KID gun influencers. These are folks that like to shoot and show off weapons on the socials. While I have real issue with people doing that - it’s akin to watching people race or drive fast cars that I’ll never own… Continue reading Cultured
AUDITION – found footage review
Before I start, just so we're clear - this is a movie. This is not real. There is no serial killer filming victims and these are those tapes. Let me break it down. No family would agree for that sort of footage to be released. Could the killer release it online? Sure, but it'd be… Continue reading AUDITION – found footage review
