I sometimes like working on never-to-be-finished video game projects


Right now I'm making a game called Chronicles.


Wanna make a game? Here is a list of great C++ libraries to use.


I maintain a Letterboxd in much the way that I assume people maintain bonsai trees.

We wanted to watch Life-Size with Tyra Banks but it's not streaming anywhere or available to rent so we were on Amazon to order a DVD.

In the related suggestions was Toothless, the 1997 Kirstie Alley made-for-tv Tooth Fairy movie which we found a bootleg upload of on YouTube.

Aside from giving me motion sickness from being filmed entirely on a portable camera I swear to GOD the production did not own a tripod, we also recognized an appearance by child actor Ross Malinger, mainly known for playing the kid in Sleepless in Seattle.

We noticed that he also played one of the kids in Kindergarten Cop and so made the correct decision to stop watching Toothless and start watching Kindergarten Cop. It definitely holds up and it's very cute. I kind of hold it responsible for studios suddenly thinking Arnold belonged in family comedies but that's hardly blood on Ivan Reitman's hands.

After the credits, Tubi autoplayed Kindergarten Cop 2 to which we understandably said "fucking what?" We did not watch the 2016 Kindergarten Cop sequel starring Dolph "Ivan Drago" Lundgren, but we did look up it's director, Don Michael Paul.

This man's name is on a Scorpion King sequel, a Lake Placid sequel, the fourth Death Race movie, two Sniper sequels, and most importantly three Tremors sequels, starting with five.

So we watched Tremors, which is just a perfect goddamn movie and I was happy to return to it.

Calling if a night we recounted the day and realized we had accidentally stumbled our way into a heated game of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.



And So It Goes Review

This was slow and meandering and predictable and rote. It didn't break new ground or challenge anybody's perspectives. Everyone's laughing about wow ha had to watch this at my parents house ha ha. Wow Rob Reiner went down hill ha ha. This isn't his other movie the one rom com I'm allowed to like ha ha.

I just think sometimes things are allowed to be nice, decently-made, sweet things. Did it fail to accomplish any of what it set out to do?

Is there no room in your criterion closet for a little bit of lazy sunday vibes?

Can we not have a fell-asleep-and-dont-remember-the-title-but-it-had-diane-keaton in our life?



The Oscars are dumb and I definitely don't go out of my way to try and be caught up. And 11% is a very small number but it might be the highest viewing for year-of that I have ever had. I'm at like 20% for 2018 but there's no way I was going to watch Victoria and Abdul in 2018, so most of those have been in the intervening 4 years.

The 6 Oscar nominated movies I watched:

  • Everything Everywhere
  • RRR
  • GDT's Pinocchio
  • Marcel the Shell with Shoes On
  • Turning Red
  • Fire of Love

The 3 Oscar nominated movies I might watch someday

  • Top Gun Maverick
  • Puss in Boots The Last Wish
  • My Year of Dicks

The Oscar Nominated movie I will never watch under pain of death

  • The Whale
