It’s ok when Murtaugh says it because he’s Murtaugh. He has a walking timebomb for a partner and is looking forward to retirement. I’d be tired too. What about you though? There seems to be this awful idea that the older you get, the less you should spend time on “frivolous” things. At a certain … Continue reading I’m getting too old for this sh-t
Hype train, can you hear it? I saw the news of a Nintendo Direct for March 8, but wasn’t in any position to watch the live stream when it aired.

It is now the time where we over-analyze what happened at the combine recently. A guy who is a first round talent may drop to the 3rd Round because he ran a slow 40 yard dash.

I’m generally easy to please when it comes to movies, but one thing I dislike is when everyone becomes a hero. Yes, I love a good story about redemption, but nothing is more satisfying than when a hero thwarts a villain’s plot because he truly got the best of him. With this in mind, I’ve … Continue reading Bad Boys, Bad Boys (Fantasy Edition)

This isn’t a review. I can give you a review in one word: Amazing. Rather, this is an exploration of a core theme in Alex Garland’s sci-fi films thus far.
I know it was rushed at the end. I know we had two players essentially quit. I know the winner was questionable… Despite all that. It was a success. Celebrity Big Brother did exactly what CBS hoped it would do: be entertaining, captivate audiences for 3 weeks, come second place to the Olympics but blow … Continue reading Celebrity Big Brother was a success

Hopefully, you’ve seen Black Panther by now. Twice.
