We Stop This Or It Gets Worse Today, I offer no pop culture updates or lists. I come to you with a plea.
Steve Rogers Will Return... But Should He? Listen. My dog's name is (Steve) Rogers. Still, I have mixed feelings about Steve returning to the fray.
Media Consolidation, Tech 'Disruptors', and Winter Catch-Up, Oh My! The week after Thanksgiving is always slightly unhinged as the last gasp of FYC events make the rounds ahead of awards season, and this one was no different. Every night of the week found itself packed with screenings and events. The screenings? Dismal! (More on that in a bit.) But
Thankful. We're on the other side of Thanksgiving, the masses are punching each other over Black Friday deals, football's on the television (please don't talk to me about LaFleur's highway robbery and bullshit little wink, I've already crashed out twice), and
The Annual Catch-Up Meets Parasite(s) It's that time of year when any member of a voting body scrambles to fit in everything we missed during the regular season. (Unless you're able to keep up with everything, at which point I'd like to know what it's like to be god's favorite child?)
It's All Happening (No Really, All At Once) Evil men are dying, The Mummy is coming back with Brendan Frasier and Rachel Weisz, my newly installed security system is incessantly beeping and I am slowing losing myself to insanity... a lot is happening!
Hug Your Friends and Let Yourself Be Tired Being tired doesn't mean that you're letting the bad guys win or that you're giving up. Just means that you're acknowledging that you need a rest. Rest and joy are, in fact, critical to resistance after all.
