Disclaimer: I have not seen, nor do I plan on seeing Peter Rabbit. My opinions are entirely based off of information I obtained from reading articles online detailing the scene and it's execution (no pun intended). If you have seen the movie yourself and would care to share your opinion on how this particular instance was… Continue reading Unpopular Opinion: Peter Rabbit and the Food Allergy Controversy
WARNING: CONTAINS MILD TO SIGNIFICANT SPOILERS FOR THE BOOK. The Terror and her flagship, Erebus, are stranded in the arctic. Their food source is contaminated. Sickness is rampant.

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS MILD SPOILERS FOR ABC'S ONCE UPON A TIME. Ah...Once Upon a Time....a show once so wondrous and imaginative now a collection of overused tropes and timeline retcons. I remember back in the day when I was first introduced to this show and how much I enjoyed the colorful characters, the intriguing… Continue reading Once Upon A Time: How The Dark Curse Made Everyone’s Lives Better
This may make me sound like a traitor to readers everywhere, but I am generally not a fan of big books, specifically ones that exceed 450 pages in length. That's not to say I don't like any large books. One of my favorite books of all time, Gone With The Wind, is nearly 1,000 pages long. However,… Continue reading TL;DR: The Problem With Big Books
Just as a heads up, this is as close to addressing political issues as I am likely to get on this blog outside of discussions involving freedom of expression. The only reason I'm even bothering typing up this post is because, as bloggers, may of us have lives that are saturated by media. Hell, most… Continue reading Unpopular Opinion: Outrage Culture Conditioned Me To Not Care About Anything
I know everyone is in shock about this but Netflix created a live-action film adaptation of beloved anime series and manga Death Note....and it was not well received. It was weird, it was convoluted, and it completely fell apart at the seams. .......but.... I don't think it's nearly as bad as people think it is.… Continue reading Unpopular Opinion: “Death Note” The Netflix Film Wasn’t THAT Bad
I never thought procrastination would be so simple, but I found a way. I found a way. I set out working on chapter seven of my story and somehow found myself plunging into the ether of pop culture sludge. For literally no reason at all, I began looking into the Drake and Josh controversy. In… Continue reading How Drake and Josh Are Destroying My Novel
I can say with unshakeable certainty that Rebecca is one of the best horror novels I've ever read. It wasn't an action-packed gore-fest like many books of the same genre, but in my mind that's what makes it one of the greats. It's a British novel positively dripping with atmosphere and dramatic tension with an excellent… Continue reading My Emotionally Abusive Relationship with Daphne Du Maurier
This reaction is so late that it borders on irrelevance, however, I wrote a majority of it the week it was announced so I wanted to publish it anyway. So...yeah...here you go: ^ What happens when you leave a professional media major alone on the weekend. So, in spite of the super subtle *cough* hints from… Continue reading Man, The 13th Doctor’s A Woman: My Super Late Thoughts On The First Female Doctor
WARNING: SPOILERS FOR EVERYONE WHO HAS NOT SEEN WONDER WOMAN AHEAD. What I liked: Wonder Woman herself. I admit I had many misgivings going into this movie because Hollywood can be notorious about writing terrible female characters. Particularly in films about women. Diana was an excellent well-rounded character that, while ignorant about our world, wasn't a… Continue reading Thoughts On “Wonder Woman” The Movie
