Movies That’ll Make You *WANT* to Quarantine

So, tomorrow’s Halloween. Normally, we’d be scrambling to put together costumes, going-out plans, and playing Russian Roulette to figure out the Designated Driver.

As has been established, this year is a little different.

Instead of wallowing in self-pity, I’ve put together a list of horror films that’ll make you actually pretty glad you can lock your door, pull the shutters, and not have…

I’m Thinking of Restructuring Things (Film Review)

Long time, no see, huh? I’m at a bit of a crossroads with this blog- wanting to to my writing a list more seriously but fearing no one will read it if I do, so it leads to a serious case of writer’s block and then, no updates.

But, I just saw i’m thinking of ending things (2020), and I have some OPINIONS.

Cards on the table, I read the book a few years ago, at the cautious recommendation of…

Sorry, Dad! (06/29 – 07/12/2020)

I’m going to try to keep this short, mostly because my brain has been a jumble of dial-up internet noises and elevator music for the past week, but also because I didn’t watch anything that good these past two weeks.

I’m continuing my peripheral-viewing of The Simpsons. I’ve made it to Season 28 (yes, you’ve read that right. Season 28. I think they’ve reached 30-31 seasons by now? The math…

From Beyond the Grave (June Update)

Remember when I said i was going to get back to posting on here regularly?

Yeah… Me neither.

…

So anyway…

yes, lisa does date edward cullen

I’m ashamed to say I haven’t been watching much of anything. I’ve been streaming The Simpsons in the background while I waste away and panic about what the future may hold (me moving home, getting a full-time job, relocating somewhere out of…

A Giant and a Challenge (But Not a Giant Challenge) (05/25 – 05/31/2020)

You’d think with so much free time on my hands, I’d be using it to be productive.

But of course not! I mean, who do you think I am? A well-adjusted adult? Nice try!

I honestly and truly cannot tell what I have been doing with all of my unending free time. Yes, I have been playing a lot of Animal Crossing, but now that my island’s reached 5 stars, I’m beginning to spend less time on it…

Let’s Try This Again (05/11 – 05/17/2020)

It’s been a while, huh? A lot has changed, but also somehow, nothing has changed. I finished the school semester, but I’m still hopping back and forth between staying at my parents house, and living in my apartment. I graduated college, but the country is still under lockdown.

a grad picture! to break up this sadness.

Honestly, good and bad included, it felt daunting to commit to anything,…

Hey folks! I’m back… sort of. 

As we all know, everyone is reacting to this global pandemic in a myriad of ways (I spoke a bit bout my feelings in my last, much more personal, update). Because of this, I cannot promise to immediately go back to my original posting schedule (though I would love to). 

At the very least, I have finally finished my MEGA update post- so buckle in. I’m not going…

For the record, I didn’t intend to take two weeks off from this blog. Usually, I look forward to posting- it gives me a chance to think about the things I’ve watched and helps me to remember how I felt about something weeks later.

Right now, though, all I want to do is sleep until there’s a sense of normalcy again.

I find myself falling back into my old habits, now that I have…

One Week, or One Year? (03/23 – 03/29/20)

Seriously, how long has the month of March been? Has it been 6 months long? 1 year long? 5 years? Any of those feel more correct than the actual answer.

And yet, with all of that theoretical time on my hands, I don’t have a lot to show for it this week. Blame the pandemic. And Animal Crossing. And my inability to watch anything when I’m living at home with my parents and my mom calls for me…

It's Hard to Be a Student (03/16 – 03/22/2020)

It’s hard to be an art student when classes are cancelled and you have to learn through Zoom video chat. Luckily, I’ve finished all of my major classes, and I’m just taking electives this semester (plus my film production internship, which has definitely suffered in this turn to telecommuting).

Why does this matter? I had more time to watch shit this week (ya know, in order to escape the…

A Short Spring Break (03/09 – 03/15/2020)

As I’m sure you can all agree, this was a weird week.

Between this being my “Spring Break” (a term I use loosely), this being the week my university decided to hold all classes online for the rest of my last semester of college, and me realizing that going home to my family would likely put my dad’s health in danger, I spent a lot of time indoors. Silver lining? I watched a lot of things to…

You're Not Ready (03/02 – 03/08/2020)

This was a weird week.

I’d like to say that I chose quality over quantity, but that isn’t true. I started an Hulu animated show called The Awesomes, solely because of the cast (Seth Meyers, Bill Hader, Rashida Jones, Kenan Thompson, etc etc), and while the show isn’t great, I can’t seem to stop watching. It’s an early streaming original, running from 2013 – 2015, and it’s pretty clear that…
