  • It used to bother me a lot more when I was younger, but honestly the older I’ve gotten the more I just look at myself and how much I’ve changed from top to bottom including in a lot of cases things like my tastes in music, and I realize that you can’t just expect somebody to stay stationary in life. We’re all moving, we’re all changing, and you can’t expect a musician to only want to do the one thing for their entire career.

    So ultimately, yeah it can bum me out when a band changes their sound in a way that I don’t enjoy, but I’m just thankful that for the moments it did we had a special connection and leave open the door that maybe down the road I will appreciate the new stuff more than I initially did.










  • I really tried on the Ms. Marvel series but it was not for me and I knew it by the second episode, and Captain Marvel was one of the most formulaic, underbaked films of that Phase. Maybe it is just because Guardians being done means whatever strong investments I once had in the MCU are fading away because it’s all just too much of the same, but really nothing that screams out to me that this will be enjoyable though I will ultimately see it (a couple friends and I see every MCU movie despite most of us being super burnt out)









  • There was some stuff that was done right, a couple good casting decisions, but the basic format of the show jumping back and forth in time was awful at developing the characters and giving you investment in their plight with there being no stakes or danger in a flashback, some of the performances have some wild scene chewing and are all over the place.

    The worst part though was their conception of Las Vegas as this like gothy heavy metal land of hedonistic sex (notably, the only homosexual interactions are part of this, which just inherently feels homophobic), drugs, violence and terror. It was incredibly over the top and doesn’t fit with the tone of the new Vegas that King established at all.
