Drug, rape your wife and invite others over.
So it almost seems like as soon as I write something like what I did regarding Zoe Kravitz’s first movie as a writer and director, panning it as unbelievable, real life (or RL as the young say) taps me on … Continue reading
Slingshot, by R. Scott Adams and Nathan Parker
Casey Affleck and Laurence Fishburn are the stars of this simple movie. Basically they are on a ship that’s on its way to Saturn’s Titan moon, but in order to get there they have to use the enormous gravity of … Continue reading
Quitting

Studies in Classic American Literature, by D.H. Lawrence
I almost always tire of Lawrence when I dare to read him, and this wasn’t an exception. Although I had wanted to read him for along time because of his interpretation of Moby Dick which I had read about somewhere. … Continue reading
