Tell you what, I'll watch that Crystal Lake TV show, but only if they work JASON GOES TO HELL and JASON X into the mythology as canon.

I just rewatched THE LAST BOY SCOUT for the first time in years and it's kind of prescient how the evil plot is a professional football owner colluding with shitty redneck politicians who abuse and sexually assault women to legalize sports gambling. It didn't take a crystal ball to see this... 1/2

Every time someone finds out I'm a vegetarian, all I hear about is how I need to be getting an ungodly amount of protein on a daily basis and there's just no way to do that without eating an entire cow.

Sunday afternoon reading at the lake is a great way to recharge. I’m gonna miss living this close to the beach.

I’ve started refusing to avoid people when they are walking and staring at their phone. I’ve had four people just walk straight into me in the last two days. And they always give me the look like it’s my fault.

PRIMETIME is full of great performances, a few good to great scenes, and uses its hideous aesthetic to full advantage. But it's got only one point to make and hammers that point over and over with increasingly dark comedy as it marches to its bleak punchline. That doesn't make it bad. It's... 1/?

And there it is. Anyone who paid any kind of attention to the Cubs the last month saw this coming. I just clung to the "anything can happen" in the postseason mantra in the completely absurd chance of a crosstown World Series. Okay, go Sox.

There's something that diminishes the music, the light show, and the video board graphics when a dominant closer enters the game and he has to stop to let the umpire inspect his glove, hands, and hat with the attitude of a doctor checking your junk for lumps.

DEAD MAN'S WIRE is a fascinating throwback in a couple of ways. Strap in for bit of a thread. I'm not sure that it counts as the kind of throwback to gritty '70s throwbacks that some people are claiming. In a way it is in that it's a crime flick with no real good or bad guy. Just desperate... 1/?
