Hey- you’ll never guess where I’ve just been!

Movies I Useta Like Episode I
At present I am experiencing an overwhelming fit of pique, and I need someone to make sense of the following. I have never managed to view Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver in its entirety. Not for lack of fucking trying, but because something always gets in the way.

Value Attrition
My mom used to watch the original Star Trek in syndicated repeats, back when I was a little kid. I detested the program because of the grating sound of the “starship interior”, which was like a never-ending loop of whistly ping noises (to denote space technology of the future). The show was essentially a soap opera, in a 1960’s sci-fi setting.

Explanations for Myself
This morning, while watching Dragon Ball Z for inspiration, a thought occurred to me; the majority of what I create online is based around me attempting to explain myself. Not necessarily a good or bad thing, just a thought.

Anything Goes
One of the true joys of being an older man is articulating with sincere awe about magnificent women who cannot be had, with other men. It may not even be unique to older men; it can probably be applied to adult heterosexual males overall. I just happen to be an old guy.

One Better
Last year, when the ashes of a burning Hollywood were but a metaphor, three films rose above them to challenge the bloated, scurrilous morass that is Double-Twenties Cinema. All three movies, in their own unique ways, restored my faith in the medium’s future. One uses extensive practical effects, one features CGI characters, and one is fully computer-animated top to bottom, without a single human element visible.

Sh*t Adds Up At The Bottom
The following is my review of the 2024 sequel Joker: Folie à Deux, directed by Todd Phillips, starring Joaquin Phoenix (returning as the titular villain) and Lady Gaga (as Harleen “Lee” Quinzel). This review was written as I viewed the film for the first time, notated over the course of its 138-minute duration.

“The Suck-Will”
Cast back your mind over thirty years ago, before the onset of this godless, profane century, to the comparative innocence and joyful day-glo palate of the Year of Our Lord 1991. My college pals and I were attending the historic Tara theater in Savannah, along with a significant percentage of the coastal town’s population.

Movies I Hate
Last night it happened, again. I willingly sat through a film that evoked such animosity, such blinding and violent hatred in myself, I couldn’t sleep afterward. I lay awake, practically steaming, trying to work out how I could find and slaughter every member of the cast and crew.

I Sees Sus Sauce
I’ve noticed that it’s become de rigueur to over-criticize everything (other than personal politics, mandates, foreign governments, or presidents not named Trump), particularly when it comes to the Sopranos prequel. People are so desperate to appear savvy and informed that they will over-analyze things, thereby nullifying the joy of discovery. You talk yourself into hating, in the futile hopes of besting the haters. You’re afraid to love something that someone else might hate.
To prove my point, I’m going to stick thoughts into your head that will make you hate your favorite things. Let’s start with The Sopranos!
Ready?
