I watched Tenet on Wednesday night, and it was a profoundly frustrating experience. Let’s be very clear about something: much like Black Panther, when it comes to Christopher Nolan I was here before ALL Y’ALL motherfuckers. I was very, very much the cinema art house artiste back in the day, and I dragged half a […]
A word, here, about proper preparation. I watched Tenet last night. This was a long time coming. I had said at some point before The Great Translocation that Tenet would be the first movie I watched in this place. Then, for reasons even I don’t understand, I didn’t set up my TV for ten days. […]
Almost there. Last night, at the height of the packing insanity, Nick mentioned something to me, that when I went to get the keys today I should bring something with me, one quick thing I could put in there to make it feel like home right away. At the time I wasn’t sure what he […]

A word, here, about seismic artistic events. I watched Jojo Rabbit this morning, and oh my fucking god what a movie. There used to be a time when I would make sure I saw every Best Picture nominee in theaters. Over the years, as I became more and more aware of how meaningless and hollow […]
A word, here, about the future coming early. There are movie nerds. I am one of them. Have been since I was a kid. If I’m not the biggest movie nerd you know – and I probably am – I’m no worse than your Top 3. I’ve become less of one the last five months, […]
A word, here, about It. It was not the first Stephen King book I ever read. The first was Pet Sematary, which I read the summer before the It miniseries came out on TV. I read it at the shore, and it was my sister’s copy. She loved horror novels. She was 11.1 I remember […]
