Favorite Bands: Harvey Danger

As Philip Seymour Hoffman-as-Lester Bangs says in Almost Famous, “Music, true music — not just rock and roll — it chooses you.” I’d like to talk about my experience with my favorite bands, in no particular order. The first time I saw Harvey Danger was on a commercial for the…

Movie Thoughts: Bros

I’m a straight guy who went to see this movie. I was hoping for “Bridesmaids”. Instead I got something around “This Is 40" in terms of quality. It’s not terrible, per se, but it’s trying to be amazing and generational and instead it’s just all right. The movie has its…

Movie Thoughts: See How They Run

Not perfect, but it has heart and everyone tries. I don’t mean that condescendingly. This is a smart film. The end twist is appropriately twisty. I enjoyed myself, though I drank three rum and cokes so that may have tainted my opinion. Occasionally gets bogged down in its own meta-ness…

Movie Thoughts: Three Thousand Years of Longing

So George Miller — what a range that man has. Mad Max: Fury Road is the definition of a masterpiece and one of the best action films of all time, bar none. The Babe movies are charming and excellent. Happy Feet was nice. This movie has heart and soul and…

Movie Thoughts: Elvis

I, like everyone else born after 1959, knew who Elvis was as a child. He seemed to have existed forever. As an adult, I learned what a tragedy his life was — modern society’s first account of someone drowning in fame and excess. …

Movie Thoughts: Marcel the Shell With Shoes On

The trailer made this look pretty pedestrian, like Spike Jonze but even less self-aware of its own hipster sanctimoniousness. I’d never heard of the viral video back in 2010. My impressions were, once again, wrong. This is a good movie. Surprisingly emotionally arresting. I teared up several times, not expecting…

Movie Thoughts: Thor- Love and Thunder

The MCU was fun once but it’s worn out its welcome. Endgame was the peak and everyone knows it. This movie is oversaturated with dumb, brightly colored CGI shit. I felt shitty watching this movie the same way I felt shitty eating the popcorn and the fountain coke and mini-kit…

What America Means To Me

It’s about naming your dog after a kind of alcohol It’s about wanting a gun but never actually getting one It’s about having a stoplight turn red when you’re in a hurry and green when you need to check your phone and hearing the lane departure alarm beep over and…

Movie Thoughts: Lightyear

It’s better than the reviews/publicity. But it starts off with a message to the audience about how this was Andy’s favorite movie and that’s why Buzz was his favorite toy and it came out in 1995. And it really seems unnecessary. Like, just let it be what it is. Don’t…
