[I stumble into the living room and sit on the couch next to my alter-ego, who is wearing pajamas and watching old YouTube clips of The Tom Green Show on his laptop] Me: Are you seriously watching Tom Green right now? Alter-Ego: Sure, what's wrong with that? Me: What's wrong with watching Tom Green in 2018? You don't find his humor to be a little...dated? Alter-Ego: Obviously not. Great comedy transcends time. Me: I'm aware...
Seeing as how Annihilation has itself a snazzy new motion picture in the works, I figured it would be a good chance to go back and read a book I picked up several years ago but never managed to find the time to get to, which is funny given that it's a swift, short read that can be finished in two days easy. "But is it worth my money and those two days?", you ask?...
For those of you who haven't heard, Fortnite: Battle Royale is a new play mode for Fortnite that follows the increasingly popular Battle Royale format recently made famous by PlayerUnknown's BattleGrounds. The basic idea is that you are 1 of 100 people dropped on to an island, which in the game is one single and very large map, and quite simply, the last man standing wins. So yeah, it's basically The Hunger Games with 100...
[I walk in and sit on the couch next to my alter ego, who is holding a bowl of popcorn while watching a cop drama on network television.] Me: Strapped in for another 60 rousing minutes of realistic dialogue and not-at-all predictable plot twists, I see. Alter-Ego: Dude, don't be a hater. 30 million people watch this show. Me: That can't be right. Alter-Ego: Seriously, look it up. Me: Yeah, ok, let me just...
Bill, a CEO, and John, a hedge fund manager, are two regular, down-on-their-luck billionaires.

Meanwhile, John has recently found his assets seized on account of being indicted for insider trading, and is facing mounting pressure from angry clients threatening legal action as his company moves further and further to distance...
Based on a true story. Inspired by real events. These words accompany films of all kinds, from historical biopics to quirky indies, and have even managed to sneak their way into horror movies.

Fan theories are a lot of fun. They can range from something fairly innocuous to a game changing revelation that turns your whole understanding of the film or novel on it's side. Sure, some can be completely ludicrous and insane, but every now and then, a couple of theories come along that make so much sense, they can actually change our understanding of the work in question. Here are ten of some of the more...
*The following conversation took place between me and myself on April 20'th at 4:20am. We were sitting on a couch eating Cheetos and watching paid programming on Comedy Central in between bouts of Madden.* Me: Hey, how many of these Magic Garden Hoses do you think they sell in a night?
