One Sentence Oscar Movie Reviews
One Sentence Oscar Movie Reviews
Don’t call it a comeback.
No seriously…..don’t. I have no idea if this post is a one-off or a tentative return to the world of pop culture blogging. The myriad reasons that I went on a “temporary break” that turned into nearly a year-long hiatus haven’t changed, but I have missed this. So no labels.
But whatever this, I couldn’t let the Academy Awards happen without me saying something. It’s…

Pop Culture Odds and Ends - Out Like A Lamb Edition
Pop Culture Odds and Ends – Out Like A Lamb Edition
While upstate New York has burned me before, I’m going out on a limb and say that I think Spring is officially on its way. Thank goodness for that, since though the snow hasn’t been to terrible here, it feels like winter has been going on forever and I’m ready for some warmer temperatures and not having to make tentative plans pending the weather. I don’t do well being cooped up, though it is…

Pop Culture Odds and Ends – Pi Day Edition
Today is Pi Day (March 14 = 3.14), though since I’ve lost the ability to keep track of the date I am unprepared to celebrate today. I’m actually not a huge pie fan – there are some pies that I like but it isn’t my go to dessert – though perhaps I can swing by a restaurant this evening to get a slice to go. I hate to miss out on food related celebrations. Had I been in NYC today, I would have…

Pop Culture Odds and Ends – Oscars Fail Edition
The Academy Awards were Sunday and my general feeling about it this year could be summed up in the following GIF: For the first time in probably at least 15 years, I didn’t even watch the telecast and though I had extra time for the Oscar death race this year, thanks to the Olympics, I somehow managed to put in my worst performance ever. Not only did I miss out on the usual elusive categories…

Pop Culture Odds and Ends – Grading Hell Edition
So this week has basically been a perfect storm of crap – work has been tremendously busy and stressful as I’m juggling a lot right now and I also had to grade all the exams for the class that I’m teaching which is a huge time suck. Add to that the fact that I haven’t been sleeping well and some stuff going on in my personal life (not me, but many of my friends are having a rough week) and I’m…

Pop Culture Odds and Ends – Read the Syllabus Edition
I don’t know if I’m losing my patience or my students this semester are particularly troublesome, but they are really trying to drive me crazy this semester. Not only do they not do the assigned readings and look disinterested during lecture, but they apparently have not even glanced at the syllabus based on the barrage of questions that I’ve received this week. They have their first exam…

Black Panther - A Review
Black Panther – A Review
This weekend, pretty much everyone in the United States and I went to see Black Panther. I had been anxiously awaiting the release of this film ever since the Black Panther character made his triumphant debut in Captain America: Civil War. My anticipation was whetted further with the news of the all-star cast that they had assembled for Black Panther and the fact that director Ryan Coogler would…

Pop Culture Odds and Ends – Snow Day Edition
Thanks to Mother Nature, I have something of a snow day today. I did go into the office this morning for a few hours, since it was hard to justify staying home when no snow had fallen, but once the flakes started flying, I took advantage of liberal leave to get home before the roads got really bad. I’m still working today, but at least I’m doing so from the comfort and safety of my couch. The…

Pop Culture Odds and Ends – So Much for the Lull Edition
I had high hopes that I was going to be able to keep kicking out reviews and posts at the rate I established at the beginning of the year, but sadly the post-holiday calm I was enjoying has evaporated and its back to the usual craziness. Working full-time, teaching, and somehow getting sick again is putting a real crimp in my leisure activities. So there are a lot of posts in the hopper – I just…

Pop Culture Odds and Ends – Oscar Death Race Edition
The Academy Award nominations were announced on Tuesday and despite my very lackluster year of attending movies, I’m in pretty good shape going into this year’s Oscar Death Race. Once I cross three movies off my list – Dunkirk, The Phantom Thread, and The Post – I’ll have take care of most of the major categories and perhaps can spend more time focusing on my usual Waterloo (foreign films and…

Pop Culture Odds and Ends – Up Since 4 Edition
I woke up at 4 am this morning and couldn’t fall back to sleep. My cat Pumpkin was pretty psyched my these turn of events, but I am most certainly not a fan. So while most of my co-workers are coming in late because of the snow, I was actually early. In theory this should make me productive, but in reality I just want to take a nap. So while I drink copious amounts of coffee, get yourself caught…

Some Thoughts on Netflix’s Dark
We are living in an era of peak TV, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. It’s nice to have options and lots of new content, but it can also feel a little overwhelming. I can barely keep up with all the new shows that debut on cable, let alone all the streaming platforms. I have a very long list of shows that I’ll hear mentioned on a podcast or see a lot of chatter about on Twitter, but…

Pop Culture Odds and Ends – It’s All About Perspective Edition
As I’m sure you’ve heard over the past few weeks from anyone who lives in the Northeast, it’s been pretty freaking cold here. Like, potentially hell has frozen over cold. I almost exclusively wear dresses to at work and I’ve had to cave to the temperatures by wearing pants more in the past week than I have in perhaps the last five years combined. It’s been brutal. But the funny thing about it…

The Shape of Water – A Review
It’s really a tale as old as time – woman meets sea creature, woman falls in love with sea creature, woman springs sea creature from secret government facility, and all hell breaks loose. Who can’t relate to that? Such is the premise of Guillermo del Toro’s latest directorial effort, The Shape of Water. The film is an adult fairy tale with gorgeous cinematography and some truly outstanding…

Darkest Hour – A Review
Thanks to being over the cap of vacation days that I could carry into the new year, I was able to take off a lot of the week between Christmas and New Year’s. Typically I take very little time off at the holidays – my family is all local and I’d rather cover for other people who have kids or have to travel. But this year, I needed a goddamn break, so I seized the opportunity to indulge in a…

The Disaster Artist – A Review
Could it be….an honest to goodness movie review? Being a movie buff, I’ve been aware of the existence of the cult movie The Room for quite a while, though I have never actually seen it. Part of the reason is because the film is kind of hard to find – unless you attend a midnight screening or own the film, it isn’t readily available on any streaming service. I also sometimes have a hard time with…
