I remember the first time I ever watched the 1957 Sidney Lumet classic 12 Angry Men . I was in my high school Speech class, and instead of dedicating the entire class period to us watching this movie, my teacher just put it on while we did other work and talked. Naturally, I didn't really get much from this viewing experience, if you can even call it that. I can't think of a worse way to convince kids to want to watch this movie. It makes it look like the most boring movie ever. Luckily, that w…

She needed a break

There's a lot of grey area in terms of the sci-fi genre. Is “The Terminator” a sci-fi movie or a slasher horror film? I was faced with this argument the other day. I don't stand firmly on either side of the fence. Through and through, “The Terminator” is a sci-fi flick, but it's so much more than that. It's not quite a full-action film, but the elements are there where I'd forgive someone for making that classification. Based on James Cameron's original intentions, it is a horror sci-fi movie .…

It's so cute

Do you guys remember that one thing that happened a few years back that fundamentally changed societies across the entire globe? Yeah, the first year of Covid-19 was pretty crazy. We're lucky that the passage of time has made the Coronavirus much less of the dominant, oppositional presence in our lives, but don't forget it still exists. As an individual who survived as a restaurant server, the initial quarantine and closure of indoor dining hit me extremely hard financially. Add that on top of…

There’s a lot to laugh about when it comes to music. Whether you’re a band nerd, hobbyist, producer, metalhead, or whatever else , it doesn’t matter. If you know anything about music, you can find some humor in making fun of it. Now, I'm no expert on music. But it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to become familiar with the basics. I grew up playing alto sax and I’ve played bass for a few bands. Casual stuff. If there’s anything I’ve learned, band kids are ostracized for a reason, and people who…

Greetings, Internet friends. We're back with another batch of memes, a perfect way to celebrate the art of procrastination! As usual, the memes we're serving up come in all shapes, sizes, and ages. Some meme-heads may say that fresh memes are better, but we believe that just like fine wine and cheese, memes only get better with age. If you're looking to reminisce about the good old days when memes were simpler, or would rather catch up on the latest meme trends, we've got you covered. Especiall…

Last week, I went to the gym for the first time in at least a year. Most likely longer than that. It felt incredible! The satisfaction that comes from committing oneself to a full, rigorous gym routine is unmatched. The next day, it felt terrible. It's easy to forget how hard muscle aches hit you after you get back to working out. I expected it, but I was definitely not ready for it. I've gone a few times since then. Now, I kind of think of it as positive pain. My muscles are doing their thing;…

Say what you will about the fourth and fifth entries in the Indiana Jones series . No, seriously. Say anything you want. Those movies aren't very good and I think Steven Spielberg knows it. The original trilogy, however, consists of three incredible, classic films. That's indisputable Do you remember the first time you ever watched Indiana Jones? When I was around four or five, my uncle thought “Raiders of the Lost Ark” would be a good movie to bond over, so he put it on. Other than the face-me…
