Happy Thanksgiving! In honor of this holiday all about eating too much food with your relatives, I decided I'd write some horror stories for you. Or at least, horror stories from my perspective. It's seasonally appropriate! The Midnight ShiftImagine, if you will, that you're a twenty year old man working at a library. Let's say … Continue reading A Few Scary Stories

I built a rocket. I fought a mummy. I climbed up the Eiffel Tower. I discovered something that doesn't exist. I gave a monkey a shower. I surfed a tidal wave. Created nanobots and located Frankenstein's brain. I found a dodo bird and painted a continent. You can tell by reading this I'm insane.
That wasn't the Phineas and Ferb theme song, by the way, I've just done a lot of the same things as them.
John’s Review of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever After
It feels weird to be back writing another superhero movie review already. It's been a couple of weeks, right? Black Adam and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever are very different superhero movies. Black Adam is the vanity project of the world's baldest man. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is a tribute to a great actor who should … Continue reading John’s Review of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever After
Ruddtrospective #23: The Rudd Thus Far
Spoilers for all Paul Rudd movies and shows that I've reviewed at this point. So obviously it's been a while since I did a Ruddtrospective, and I thought I should try and get everyone back up to speed. Remind myself and my readers which Paul Rudd performances should be revered and which ones should be … Continue reading Ruddtrospective #23: The Rudd Thus Far
A Review of The Rock’s Black Adam
I'm sure nobody wants to see this because this man makes too many movies and this movie looks generic as hell and DC has burned us millions of times. Nevertheless I will start by not spoiling the movie and make it obvious when I switch to spoilers. Black Adam stars Rock 'The Dwayne' Johnson. The … Continue reading A Review of The Rock’s Black Adam
John’s Movie Pitches Part 3
I've decided to continue my weird, time-honored tradition of posting at least five brilliant movie ideas every three months. I'm not sure how much of a tradition it is because this is only my third time doing it. And is it really a tradition or is it just a pattern? How many times do you … Continue reading John’s Movie Pitches Part 3
Why Do I Love Superheroes?
I think I've mentioned before that I'm a little obsessed with comic books and comic book movies in general. They're a pretty big part of my life, and they always have been. I'm sure I've said this before, but I know more about the worlds of Marvel and DC comics than I know about current … Continue reading Why Do I Love Superheroes?
Quarantining Outside My Comfort Zone
DISCLAIMER: This post was written one week before I plan on posting it, so by the time this is published I will no longer be in quarantine and I will have rejoined the real world. Just wanted to make that clear so as to dissuade any worries. So a few months ago I made a … Continue reading Quarantining Outside My Comfort Zone
Can’t The Story Just Write Itself?
Charlie had been staring at his computer screen for exactly one hour, forty-three minutes and seventeen seconds. In this time he had averaged two blinks every thirty minutes, and had only turned away from the computer three and a half times. Two of those times were so he could flip the novelty hourglass he kept … Continue reading Can’t The Story Just Write Itself?
Something is Happening
Today I'm moving back to Duluth. The city of fog, barber shops and sandwiches. And in three days I'll be beginning my sophomore year of college. And you may be thinking "That's very exciting. I bet, given all I know about John, that he's feeling excited, prepared, and not the least bit overwhelmed. And at … Continue reading Something is Happening
Nothing is Happening
Today’s my day off! I could try and rope someone into taking me to Grand Marais, but I’d much rather sit around and do nothing. But I also wanted to write a blog post. And since I’m doing nothing, I’m going to write about nothing. Real stream of consciousness shit. Completely different from my other … Continue reading Nothing is Happening
