Alex Proyas is a pretty interesting director and I’ve enjoyed quite a few of his movies, particularly The Crow and Dark City (I didn’t mind I, Robot, despite its story having little to do with Issac Asimov’s story).
I actually don’t have anything against Adam Sandler, though what bothers me most about him is that his comedy feels particularly lazy. I might catch his Netflix movie, The Ridiculous 6, for no other reason than the way the streaming network tends to work encourages curiosity about content that I would probably never watch otherwise. Then again, I’ve heard […]
White privilege isn’t the sort of thing that this blog tends to revolve around, but then again, since there are apparently quite a few actors that bring it up as of late–often in the worse way possible–i though that I’d do a blog post revolving around it. It’s tough to talk about things like while privilege. […]

The Timothy […]
Movies aren’t the only places where ideas are recycled.
“Superhero fatigue” seems all the rage among some, but it’s a dubious concept at best, and easily disproven. Reason being, if superhero fatigue were a thing, it would have been proceeded by ‘zombie fatigue.’ Look at the 2013’s World War Z, the Brad Pitt-starrer that was for awhile looking like the Fantastic Four of its time.
