Bombshell is a dramatized depiction of the sexual harassment allegations against head of Fox News, Roger Ailles, that ultimately lead to his firing from the company just months before the election of Donald Trump. At times it’s stylistically reminiscent of Adam McKay’s Big Short and Vice, yet never fully adopts a consistent motif the way…
Once Upon a Time in Knowing Hollywood History
Just like any movie, there are endless reasons a moviegoer may have disliked Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Even the most lauded films have their detractors after all. There is no greater proof than the fact that there are people who believe Children of Men is a bad film (pray for them). On the…
Blockbusters, Indies, Art, Films, Trash Films — They’re All Movies
I hate movie snobs. Whenever I catch wind of some blowhard spitting movie snobbery, I just want to crush their skull in, which would make me a murderer, which is arguably much worse than a movie snob. I get the same violent urges towards art snobs in general. I’m talking about the kind of people…
“Loved the script, Quentin. Just a few notes. Maybe less n-word.”
I’m fresh off of seeing Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which I thought was incredible, but I’ll leave it at that since this isn’t a review. I do, however, need to give the tiniest of spoilers with this one simple, and possibly surprising, fact: the movie doesn’t have a single utterance of the n-word….
Make Terminator and the Predator Horror Again
I’m so over Predator and Terminator movies. Of course, I’m also full of shit. I’m not going to pretend like I’m not there opening weekend for every new Terminator and Predator movie, but I have stopped expecting them to be any good. Fucking hell. Even the combination of Shane Black and Olivia Munn couldn’t make…
My Favorite Type of “Breaking Into Hollywood” Story
Since breaking into Hollywood as a screenwriter can be a long journey, it’s not uncommon to see people post about their breaking-in story after they’ve finally got their shot. They usually have a quasi-inspirational tone to them, urging others not to give up or feel bad that they haven’t achieved success yet. Unfortunately, most of…
I’m Disturbed – The Trailer for ‘The Art of Racing in the Rain’
‘The Art of Racing in the Rain’ would be a tremendous title for a movie about drifting, and I’m sure if you hadn’t seen the trailer/a movie poster/been familiar with the book, you’d think that it was. Unfortunately, it is not a movie about drifting. If you’re looking for a movie about drifting, you’re stuck…
AXL Trailer Compared to Monster Trucks
First off, let me tell you that I love these kinds of movies. They remind me of moiveds from my childhood like ‘Star Kid.’ That being said, they are usually horrible, paint-by-numbers films. That’s why when I saw the trailer for ‘AXL’ it immediately reminded me of the movie ‘Monster Trucks.’ That made me want…
Writing and Producing Reel!
Hello, I wanted to share a quick video showing my writing and producing reel. I don’t even know if that’s really a thing, but who wouldn’t want to watch a bunch of funny videos smooshed into one video? Let me know what you think, and if you want to see any of the full clips….
The Flash Drive
A guy and his girlfriend had just moved in together, so they were still getting comfortable with each other’s boundaries. One day the girlfriend asked if she could use his computer, nervously adding, “I’m not going to find any porn on it, am I?” The guy scoffed and said, “Honey, you will ne’re find a…
The Search for the Spiciest Curry
There was this foodie who was utterly obsessed with finding the spiciest curry in all the world. He had traveled to literally every single restaurant and hobby-chef’s kitchen, yet couldn’t find a single curry worthy of his tongue. He had one last hope though. The final restaurant he had yet to try. The one known…
Ready Player One Review: Steven Spielberg Almost Got Away with It, AKA the Movie Equivalent of a Bunch of Titties
This is a hard movie for me to accurately assess. I bet it’ll be that way for a lot of people. Mostly the fans. Not just fans of Ready Player One, the book. I mean fans of literally everything . Let me be clear. I’ve never read Ready Player One, although I have almost bought…
