I’ve always seen my Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom as my own version of the STD Monsters from It Follows. I can do all I can to walk away from these pictures, but they keep hanging around. The first Avengers picture was a snooze and I was out. I didn’t have to spend another afternoon with … Continue reading It Follows →

This was supposed to be an Award Season blog so I can guess I should finally write about the recent Oscar nominations. My initial thought was that there was no such thing as an asterisk awards season. I may seem defensive when it comes to putting asterisks next to 2020 awards and titles after watching … Continue reading Two Weeks Notice →

Over the weekend, I made a Notes app promise to not return to the multiplex until I’m fully vaccinated. Local theaters have either already opened or will re-open this weekend. As an individual with the movie disease (the insistent need to see every picture), I am very excited to return. It still feels slightly irresponsible … Continue reading Alone in the Multiplex Zone →

A few days ago, I started to wonder what would happen first: a BlackPink comeback or a new post on 2 Scoops? Recent news stories have suggested that a BP comeback could happen sometime in November.... so, let's say I beat them by a couple of days. I could make an excuse for relative silence, … Continue reading The Return of The Return →

I've given it some time & thought and I have to circe back to my inital thoughts on the Joker picture. The Venice reviews were mostly positive; largely citing how great Joaquin Phoenix is. This is not surprising. The Vegan King is pretty good at acting. The positive remarks is not what is pushing me … Continue reading The Reactionary Circle Back →

Here's the deal... you know that I'm in the bag for my vegan king, Joaquin Phoenix. 2018 was a lot of fun because we got to see Phoenix figuratively and metaphorically throwing down some hammers. I'm one of the ten people that enjoyed Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot. I'm also a fan … Continue reading →

Since Oscar SZN officially starts this week with the openning of the Venice and Telluride film festivals, I've decided to post my wildly misinformed predictions for the big categories this year. Will I be right? Probably. With ten best possible Best Picture nominees, I'm going to get at least four or five right. With that … Continue reading The 2020 Oscar Trial Balloon Volume 1 →

Each year, it seems like award season starts earlier and earlier and more importantly, it never ever seems to end. When it does end, it is a great feeling. Remember how mad everyone got about Green Book? What a horrible moment, but at least Olivia Colman saved the night. Never the less, the 2019/20 award … Continue reading Once Again: Is this thing still on? →

I would like to get this out of the way very quickly. I am absolutely positively 100% against Neymar returning to FC Barcelona. If he comes back, I will seriously reconsider my support of the club. Neymar had a lot of promise and potential, but that has faded over the last two years. Beyond the … Continue reading Too Many Things →

Life has become a series of incidents where I don't know what I'm exactly suppose to say. The most recent incident occured the other day as I was checking out at the market. I was wrapping up when a senior citizen started to load her groceries on the belt. It seemed like she was more … Continue reading The Catsup →
