Tony Hawk, is that you

I kind of wish that the film noir genre still existed today outside of Batman movies. Was I counting down the days until The Batman , starring Robert Pattinson, came out? Absolutely I was. But do I wish that we had movies like Mildred Pierce coming out today? Again, absolutely. In the modern mind, noir mostly exists as a parody. There's the detective who talks funny, there's the gorgeous femme fatale he's in love with, there's some kind of murder. These elements are easy to parody and exaggerat…

Plus, Cheems says goodbye.

I love “The Sopranos.” Many, myself included, would call it the launch of the golden age of television. Without Tony Soprano we wouldn't have Don Draper, Walter White, Dexter Morgan, and many others. It would be a stretch to call Tony an anti-hero. He's not a hero, he's a downright sociopath. But the way in which his character is presented is so painfully human that it's hard not to resist becoming enthralled by him. Combine that with the downright legendary performance by the late James Gandol…

A life of crime

Have you ever wanted to stick it to the man, but you’re too much of a coward to do anything that may have repercussions? Of course, you have! Same here. I’m about as cowardice and counterculture as you could imagine. Sometimes it’s fun to break the rules. Don’t remove the tag from the mattress? Don’t mind if I do. No running near the swimming pool? There’s a reason that rule is in place, so at most, I’m probably going to fast walk, but that’s still kind of close to running. There’s a certain fe…

Also, Elon's burner account is even weirder than we could have guessed it would be.

There are a lot of true crime haters in this world, and frankly, I get it! Not everybody has the temperament and the willpower to watch or listen to hours of painstakingly long and graphic content about murders . When I was a teenager, I was far more interested in true crime documentaries about kidnapping cases like Jaycee Lee Dugard or Elizabeth Smart than I was in serial killers. I was a casual 20/20 viewer, but that would rarely get as intense as the true crime media we see dominating today'…

I turned myself into a scumbag, Morty!

I have to return some videotapes

As much as some people would like it to be, crime isn't black and white. There's nuance to breaking the law. Just look at the stories of Les Miserables or Robin Hood. The protagonists are thieves, one steals to feed his family, and the other to provide for the over-taxed and suffering poor. They're people, and crimes, we can sympathize with. While I don't think that murdering someone or burning a home down is chill, there's some law-breaking (and jokes about it) that at least inspire a bit of a…
