A Jawline Sharp Enough to Cut Glass

Have you been inundated with Matt Rife?  I don't want to sound like a hater. I think humor is relative and subjective and he is funny and certainly has proven he is successful at it. I'm not here to criticize his actual craft.  I for one never understood when Dane Cook was hot and selling out Madison Square Garden with his schtick.  I don't personally get it, but I'm not the humor police and that's why there are so many options available, right?  Same with Matt Rife.  There is not one standard for being a good comic.  I just happen to not guffaw at his humor as much as just give it a small smirk.  It's interesting observation about being in gay shape? But he's literally already fit so...how much more fit does he perceive gay men to be? Does he go to the gym with like, Mr. World contenders?  In the world I live in he'd be considered very fit.  I'm not crying from the obscurity and absurd premise that gay men are in super shape. I tend to like somethin

Medium Fidelity

Do you remember that movie "High Fidelity" with John Cussack? I used to love that one. I really liked "Serendipity" more but it was a period of John Cussack hits.  He spoke to the every man.  A pale, kind of awkward but totally normal looking guy. I rewatched "High Fidelity" recently and man, I forgot what was tool the protagonist Rob is. I actually believe it holds up even though he annoys me.  I think it's a real enlightening watch for young men. Kind of like "500 days of Summer."  You get more as you rewatch. I  have to remove my feminist takes from the equation. It's hard because I want to be mad but if you see it for what it is, a movie made in a fully male perspective about a male experience then it's pretty good. I don't want to date him and I want Laura to run for the hills but I don't have to agree with them. It's a man's journey to get to the conclusion that he is the common denominator in his problem with wo

Insert Romantic Christmas Title Here

For all my love of historical romance I'm not a big movie consumer. I know most of my peers love a wholesome Hallmark movie which is essentially a rom com made on a TV budget.  I personally just lose interest in bad acting. Not that I'm a good actor but when you understand what's in the sauce? It's not super fun seeing bad acting and bad plot together.  How many times can the uptight career orientated gal be spun around and learn the real meaning of Christmas from the sweet hometown tree farmer she runs into when she visits home for the holiday? Apparently like 300 times at least. I realize it's none of my business but I have been hearing about this Candace Cameron Bure thing where she basically said she jumped networks because she could executive produce content in line with her beliefs around traditional marriage at some other third tier network I've literally never heard of with America somewhere in the name. People have been mad and I totally understand why.
