The suicide of Kurt Cobain tore a hole in the hearts of many Northwesterners and music lovers, as the death of the musician that spoke directly to the disaffected youth and helped revolutionize rock music by letting people know it could belong to the average man was something people latched onto and hailed him as an icon. The person that hated this romanticization of the nobody-turned-mainstream legend, however, was Cobain himself, as he resented becoming a buzzword that could be…

Moonage Daydream 2022
Roughly two weeks from now, David Bowie would've turned 76 years old were it not for liver cancer claiming his life in 2016, and on that same thread his first monomentual pivot towards glam rock, Hunky Dory, recently turned 51, Station to Station is barreling down the train tracks to its 47th anniversary, Low, his most sparse, minimalistic, and personal album 46, and his swan song ★, the bitter reminder that one of the most legendary artists is truly gone and he intimately…

Oppenheimer 2023
Christopher Nolan certainly tested my patience when it came to Tenet, a bloated mess of a spy film with timey-wimey elements that left me with a good gimmick to write a review around but with little satisfaction and great hesitance towards what the filmbro god would cook up next, hesitance that quickly dissipated once more and more information about said next project revealed itself and how it wound up tying into the mood and anxiety of both the internal forces…

Serial Experiments Lain 1998
(NOTE: THIS IS A REVIEW OF THE ENTIRE SERIES EPISODE-BY-EPISODE. AS SUCH, SPOILERS ARE PRESENT ALL-AROUND. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED).

Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance 2009
I miss the old Asuka
Straight from the Go Asuka
Chop up the soul Asuka
Set on her goals Asuka
I hate the new Asuka
The bad mood Asuka
The always rude Asuka
Spaz in the news Asuka
I miss the sweet Asuka
Chop up the beats Asuka
I gotta say, at that time
I'd like to meet Asuka
See, I invented Asuka
It wasn't any Asukas
And now I look and look around
And there's so…
