“Give me a day or two to think of something clever.” I wasn’t sure if I’d return to my own version of the Grammys after last year’s. I love doing my own Oscars and my own Emmys, but I feel like my modern music knowledge is just not as strong…

“With our constitutionally protected right to abortion under attack, abortion funds are working nonstop to make sure people can still access (and afford) abortion.” If you saw the Politico news yesterday that the radically conservative Supreme Court is set to reverse popular precedent and strip rights from women by unsettling…

“I will always be Spider-Man.” For a while, it seemed like Tobey Maguire retired from acting. After capping Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy in 2007, Maguire’s roles on screen were pretty sparse until 2013. He briefly cameoed in Tropic Thunder in 2008, swung (and missed) for the Oscars with Brothers in…

“We’re very impressionable.” I’m exhausted by the Oscars’ telecast decisions and the Oscars discourse, so I don’t quite have the motivation to write blurbs for every category. I just want to make sure I write what my predictions are in the instance that I actually do get them all right…

“Maybe, with good luck, we’ll find what eluded us in the places we once called home.” It was an interesting year for film! We’re not all the way back to normal (Paramount refuses to let us have Tom Cruise and Disney refuses to let us have Pixar in theaters), but…

“We can leave the Christmas lights up ‘till January.” Happy Valentines Day! Let’s celebrate the day of love with the loveliest album Taylor Swift ever did create. ScreenRant could’ve had this one, too, but that one whack AF editor has led it to here. And we are all the better…

“A little sooner than you expected, perhaps, but such is the case for us all.” This was definitely a stronger endeavor than 2020. I mean, The Invisible Man was in my top ten last year! Don’t get me wrong; I really dug The Invisible Man! But top ten? It was…

“I make this suit sing.” What was television in 2021? What is television today? It’s hard to say. Of all the shows that adhere to the traditional format of over twenty episodes every year, only Bob’s Burgers was in contention for my list. Network is all but dead and more…

“There’s one where we look so in love before we lost all the sun and I made you take it.” In the past, this list would’ve been filled with some pretty mainstream choices. Before my musical horizons expanded to the present day around 2017 or so, I was willfully subsumed…
