Wicked: For Good posed the question: can you make a full movie out of the second half of a story?
This film couldn't, but maybe it shouldn't have had to. My thoughts on the closing film from the blockbuster sensation:

Tough loss but enjoying the Illini playing multiple games against high-level opponents this early in the season. Fun stuff. This team definitely has a chance to be my favorite since maybe Ayo/Kofi.

In honor of me listening to "Blurry" by Puddle of Mudd several times, what's a song you love that isn't very good by a band/group/artist that isn't very good either

I finally got around to watching Wes Anderson's latest film, The Phoenician Scheme, the other day. I couldn't write about it the way I do other movies, and I try my best to explain why in this borderline unhinged rant.

I remember being randomly invested in the late-career home run race between Edwin Encarnacion and Nelson Cruz, if either would hang on long enough to get to 500, and which one would hang on long enough to outlast the other. Cruz ended up playing three more years and winning the HR battle, 464-424.
