    Logan Transcends its Genre

    Logan may indeed be the best film in the Wolverine/X-Men franchise, but I could not write that with certainty because I did not care to see many of the others. I am by no means a superhero movie fan, but I found myself wanting to see Logan. The marketing campaign set this movie apart from […]

    An essential need for the new Matrix movie

    After the release of The Matrix Revolutions in late 2003, fans of the trilogy were left with endless questions. “How did they shoot all of those incredible fight scenes?” “Is Neo really dead or will he return in some other form in the future?” “What, exactly, was the plot of the last two movies?” All valid […]

    Remembering Shwan Alkhatib – “Fatty4KSU”

    Five years ago, the Kansas State University family lost one of their greatest friends, fans and a champion of all things purple. Shwan Alkhatib, commonly referred to as “Fatty” or Fatty4KSU throughout the Kansas State community, died tragically in March 2012. A man whose creative talents told the story of K-State’s athletic resurgence was gone […]

    Update: Britney Spears Lifetime biopic is garbage

    My expectations for the Lifetime Britney Spears biopic, Britney Ever After, were not high. Although Lifetime neglected to take any of the suggestions I offered, I tuned in last weekend for the premiere to witness this “toxic” train wreck. In the rare moments when I didn’t sound like Donald Trump at a press conference, yelling, […]

    ICBYHST: Jonathan F*cking Wick

    For my second installment of “I can’t believe you haven’t seen that,” I’ve finally watched the balls to the walls action flick John Wick. After finally getting around to watching this masterpiece on the most beautiful day of the year (842 days after its release date), can you guess how many times Ted has said “you […]

    2017 Grammy Taeks: BEYONCE GOT ROBBED

    I turned on to the Grammys after seeing CeeLo green in head to toe gold on the twitter machine, just in time to see Carrie Underwood and some generic shaggy country singer. Then, for an adorable reason Twenty One Pilots winning in their underwear. So about Twenty One Pilots and their underwear… #GRAMMYs pic.twitter.com/ZAOZgDtCVA — […]

  • Finding balance with trash

    Finding balance with trash

    I like trash and that’s OK. Not the dinner leftovers and scraps of paper you throw into the garbage can, but the trashiest examples of popular culture. The things we sometimes call our “guilty pleasures.” “Gossip Girl?” I’m addicted. “Twilight” movies? I’ll marathon them. Taylor Swift? I’ve got “1989” on repeat and know every single […]
