Film Criticism

Short Fiction

Christopher Nolan is chasing himself in circles, M. Night Shyamalan can't stop chasing Hitchcock, and Wes Anderson has chased himself up his own ass. 

A guide to protecting Mama's melons, future music makes criminals dance, helping Grandpa feel young again, the real victims of a fake flood, and the rescission of a MacArthur Grant.

Film Reviews

You missed the point of The Great Gatsby.

Essays & Opinion

Robin Hood was (apparently) an asshole, Facebook ruins birthdays, servers aren't servants, Central Park should be a panda sanctuary, we are not salvageable (right?), learning your parents are people, too many adults don't read good, there are more dildos in modern art than I expected, millinery is awesome, an artist's creation belongs to us, and an honest American case for less murder and (slightly) more suicide.
