Too Many Servings of John

Musings and reviews from a weird mind

December 2021

  • 2021 in Movies: The Good, the Bad, and the Incredibly Weird

    Minimum spoilers for everything I’m about to talk about. I watched a lot of movies that came out this year. 48, to be exact. My intention is to write about 42 of those movies without going insane. Rather, without going more insane. In the interest of brevity, and me not wanting to waste your time, Read more

  • Super-Ranking the Comic Book Movies and TV shows of 2021

    Spoilers for everything in the ranking, but not Thunder Force, Y: The Last Man, M.O.D.O.K., Hit-Monkey, Sweet Tooth, or all the CW and HBO Max DC shows released this year. I’m not going to talk about those because I haven’t seen them. I’m probably forgetting some other things I haven’t seen. I try to keep Read more

  • Ruddtrospective #9: 2021’s Rudd-Rankings

    Spoilers for every Paul Rudd performance from the cursed year of 2021, which includes Ghostbusters: Afterlife, The Shrink Next Door, Saturday Morning All-Star Hits, and the zombie episode of What If…?. 4. Ghostbusters: AfterlifeI already reviewed this, so I’ll try to keep it brief. This movie just isn’t for me. I don’t have a lot Read more

  • Merry Christmas To Me!

    As a gift to myself I have decided not to write some long involved poem or joke interview or story about evil corporations. There are so many “funny takes” on the holiday season and I really just don’t see the point of adding my own. Especially because I’ve been focused on my posts for next Read more

  • Ruddtrospective #8: All Is Bright…?

    Spoilers for the movie All Is Bright. Not that you care, nobody has seen or heard of this movie, despite it being the only Christmas movie Paul Rudd has ever been in. But this isn’t a very happy Christmas movie, so don’t watch it if that’s what you’re looking for. All Is Bright(2013) stars Paul Read more

  • An Assortment of Misadventures

    John VS Plumbing A few nights ago the City of Duluth decided to turn off the water everywhere for reasons that remain unclear. This occurred at an inopportune time. I had just gone to the bathroom and I went to wash my hands. The bathroom faucet decided not to cooperate. “Hmmmmm.” I tried to turn Read more

  • I Rewatched The First Half Of Space Jam: A New Legacy And I May Never Recover

    Obviously spoilers for this horrible movie that I love. Two months ago now I sat down to review Space Jam: A New Legacy. My plan was to write a thought down for every minute of the film, which has a runtime of 115 minutes. But I couldn’t do it. I got halfway through and it Read more

  • Ruddtrospective #7: Let’s Talk Parks and Rec!

    Full spoilers for the TV show Parks and Recreation, but the five episodes that Paul Rudd was in in particular. I would recommend watching this show, but it’s so damn good that I don’t think any jokes I mention will ruin it for you. The main cast of Parks and Recreation includes Amy Poehler as Read more

  • Anxiety Doesn’t Sleep

    The clock tells me that the time is currently 1:13 AM. My brain tells me I should sleep. My body tells me I should sleep. The fact that I have class in the morning means I should probably go to sleep. But I’d rather listen to podcasts, eat Wheaties, and play Project: Makeover. My brain Read more
