Was Eric Bana the Hulk at some point? Wasn’t he also like the “it” boy for two seconds in the early 2000s, around the time he was in Munich? And then — with the exception of 2009’s The Time Traveller’s Wife — I haven’t seen the guy since. Honestly, I kind of …
I’m honestly a little bit at a loss about this show. It’s bad. Like bad bad. Like it started off on episode one and I was like, huh, this is pretty bad, but it’s a pilot and I can kind of see where they could go with it. So, I’ll …

There’s never been any doubt that Wes Anderson is a good filmmaker. His style and aesthetic are instantly recognizable. And, with each subsequent movie, his creative vision only tightens. And tightens. And tightens. Until there is literally no looseness left. No air. No anything other than a doll’s house of …
This was a good book. I don’t say that often enough. And because of that I feel like a bad consumer of literature. I mean, I used to enjoy reading. I did it a lot. As the years have progressed, though, I’ve sloughed off that part of my brain. Mostly …
Look at me dipping into genre fiction! But, really, I’ve been doing it for years. I’ve just been intrigued by crime fiction in recent times. I’m not sure why, honestly. Every time I finish one of these novels filled with violence and tough guys I feel like perhaps I’m too …
I guess this is what you’d call low stakes in the true crime game. Nobody is dead, there’s no like …
