Quirky

  • Did anyone see this? Hard to say. The first Aquaman inexplicably made a billion dollars, so even though logically that doesn’t make sense and that movie should have sunk, (Heh) this new one could make money. I think it’ll fail though. Anyway, no spoilers and then spoilers. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom stars Jason Momoa, Read more

  • So clearly I came up with the title for the review before I saw the movie. The title of the review only includes such positive verbage because of the title of the movie. I’m sure I’m not the only person who used such fun wordplay in their review title. But maybe I am, because I Read more

  • Now that the writer’s strike is over and the actor’s strike will definitely end soon (Because the AMPTP Jerks are definitely going to give the Actor’s Guild what they want) I’ve decided to start pitching my movie ideas to Hollywood again. Everybody knows the last few batches were conceptual gold and are just itching to Read more

  • Spoilers for the third season of Only Murders in the Building, which has just wrapped up. At this point the show has been going for three seasons, so either you’ve been following along or you’re probably not going to watch it and won’t care if I spoil things. Also spoilers for seasons one and two Read more

  • This review is really late because I started it like a month ago and then just forgot to finish it. But since then I’ve watched this movie two more times, which should make it clear what I think. Spoilers for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, not that it’s really a movie that can be Read more

  • The answer is me, obviously. It’d be really weird if I said “My Grandma” and then put her thoughts below. But also maybe funny in its own way? Anyway, if you’re disappointed that that’s not the thing I’m doing, then I’m sorry. But yeah, I just watched all the Fast & Furious movies. I’d never Read more

  • Welcome. If you’ve never read my blog before and you just found this and you’re expecting a fair, unbiased, positive review of The Flash, then go away. If you decided to read this because you loved The Flash and you want someone to reinforce your opinions on the quality of the movie and the acting Read more

  • Previously on WWW.TooManyServingsOfJohn.Com…“And if I do my job, those answers will finally tell me WHY THE FLYING NUN EXISTS. Who came up with the idea? Who greenlit this stupid show? Why would Sally Field, a renowned and incredible actress, willingly be a part of this? Is this a real thing or did I go insane already? Why Read more

  • I recently wrote three short stories for a class and really enjoyed writing them, so I thought I’d post them here. This is the second story. Enjoy! Substitute Fish “The less you talk to me, the more I like you.”  That partial recollection of vague quotation had been rolling through Walter’s mind a lot recently. Read more

  • This past semester, I wrote three short stories for a writing class. I enjoyed doing it and I thought I’d share some of them on the blog. Sorry for the delay on my review of the Fast & Furious movies. I went on strike like all the other writers, and then I remembered that nobody Read more

  • Hello! I meant to write a review for Shazam! Fury of the Gods, but it was super boring and I had nothing to say about it. I’ve been busy with lots of writing assignments and finals, but school is now over for the summer and we’re going to celebrate with a review of Guardians of Read more

  • Hi. Hello. Just a quick disclaimer. As I said above, I will be ranting about The Flash, as I most likely have done before in small doses. But I wanted to clarify which The Flash I plan to complain about. I will not be yelling about The Flash, the 2023 movie starring (Notoriously garbage person)Ezra Read more

  • This is a big movie for me especially. I’ve been waiting for this for some time now. People have neglected Ant-Man as a character in the past but now he’s in a big epic movie and the reviews are not very positive. Did I like it though? Have I been blinded by my love of Read more

  • Spoilers for three movies you’ve probably seen before- Captain America: Civil War, Ant-Man and the Wasp, and Avengers: Endgame. I feel a little weird about covering these movies, but you know what? If you think it’s dumb then you can fight me. This may be the geekiest Ruddtrospective yet, where I get to gush about Read more

  • Spoilers for everything in this ranking. Obviously. It would be really stupid of you to read this if you had any interest in watching any of these but haven’t yet. We were originally going to get three more superhero movies this year, but Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse got delayed and Warner Brothers lost all of Read more

  • Misadventures in Knitting

    Not sure if this story is interesting or not but it’s a weird experience and I felt it warranted mentioning. Also you don’t have to read it. You could go read a different blog, or write your own post. Let me live my life! Anyway. Before… Back when COVID-19 initially became a major inconvenience, I Read more

  • A Few Scary Stories

    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 Read more

  • 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 Read more

  • 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 Read more

  • 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 Read more

  • 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 Read more

  • 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 Read more

  • 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 Read more

  • 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 Read more

  • 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 Read more

  • 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 Read more

  • Despite working at a summer camp with limited access to the internet, I yet again managed to spoil the ending of this movie for myself. But some people are smart and don’t do that. So, as always, I will clearly mark when I start spoiling the movie. Thor: Love and Thunder stars Christopher Hemsworth, Natalie Read more

  • A Modern Fairy Tale

    I wanted to start writing short stupid stories in different formats. And this week I decided to write my own fairy tale. It’s not like we have any good new fairy tales, right? It’s all pigs and wolves and shoes and beanstalks and other crap. Let’s get some new blood in there. I’m sick of Read more

  • For many reasons that don’t really make sense, I chose to spend my summer working at a summer camp that sends campers out on canoe portaging trips in the Boundary Waters. Despite the fact that it isn’t something I would normally do, I’ve been having a pretty good time so far. I just returned from Read more

  • About three months ago I decided that the best way to break into Hollywood was to tell them my ideas directly. That way they could come to me and option all my excellent movie ideas. But for some reason, nobody ever contacted me about any of my pitches. I’ve thought long and hard about why Read more

  • I’m not the first person to point out how unrealistic some songs can be. You could go on Spotify right now and listen to over a thousand different songs about getting drunk and partying and having the best day of your life. Now I’ve never gotten drunk myself, but from what I’ve heard from people Read more

  • Stuck In An Elevator

    A few months ago I was at work during an extremely short campus-wide power outage. It was probably about five seconds long. But I kept saying to everyone how I wished I had been in the elevator when it happened. How that would be such a great story to have. Everyone looked at me like Read more

  • Full spoilers for the movie Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy as well as the sequel, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. Even though I’m pretty sure everyone has seen this movie. It’s a beloved classic. But spoilers for this movie that came out 18 years ago. And spoilers for the sequel, which is essentially just Read more

  • I will clearly mark when I begin to spoil both of these movies with very long titles, because I think these should both be seen. One in particular, because I think both of these movies tackle similar themes, and one does a much better job of it. But they’re both fun to watch, so I Read more

  • Spoilers for Ideal Home, which might be the best Paul Rudd movie I’ve watched so far. You really should watch this before reading the review. I think it’s great. Ideal Home(2018) stars Paul Rudd, Steve Coogan, Jack Gore, and Jake McDorman. It also features Kate Walsh and Allison Pill. It was directed and written by Read more
