Continued from Chapter 2 Last chapter. Chapter 3: Burning Bright Page 109: "[Fire's] real beauty is that it destroys responsibility and consequences. A problem gets too burdensome, then into the furnace with it." Another bit that's relevant to today. If there's a problem, if there's a disconnect, rather than try to talk it out and … Continue reading Philosophies of Fahrenheit 451: Chapter 3 and other quotes

Thor: Ragnarok (2017) review
Rated: 2.5 / 5 I'm not going to lie, I wasn't looking forward to seeing this. "What's that? What the hell is wrong with you!? Do you not know how to be entertained!?" you may ask/shout. To which I would reply, "You sir/madam are too easily entertained." All the positive reviews this film has been … Continue reading Thor: Ragnarok (2017) review
Mystery Review for Black History Month and Valentine’s Day
So, what to review for this time of the year; this time of the month? I've been pondering a few films to review for black history month; which, to be honest, I think is kind of a stupid thing, because if there's going to be a black history month, then there should be a white … Continue reading Mystery Review for Black History Month and Valentine’s Day

Philosophies of Fahrenheit 451: Introduction and Chapter 1
Read the book, plan to see the movie. Until then, here's my thoughts on the philosophical points that I wish to point out from my first read-through. I read the 60th anniversary edition, which is worth pointing out because there's an introduction and some articles contained within the book that analyze/review it, and I will … Continue reading Philosophies of Fahrenheit 451: Introduction and Chapter 1

The Post (2018) review
Rated: 3/5 Intro Warning, this review gets political, makes no apologies about it, and gives no free flying fucks if you disagree with it (unless any of you dare to try having an honest discussion with me). You've been warned. The Post, a movie. Like how there was a TV series called The Office. Now … Continue reading The Post (2018) review

Jumanji (1995) and Welcome to the Jungle (2017) dual review
Jumanji is one of my favorite films from the 90s. It's not just a good kid-flick, but a good film in general. So when I heard they were making a sequel to it, all I could think was, "Why?" Then I saw the trailer, and I thought, "WHY!?!?!?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QKg5SZ_35I My second thought was, "So this … Continue reading Jumanji (1995) and Welcome to the Jungle (2017) dual review
