Hey guys, things have been crazy around these parts and I haven’t been able to post as frequently as before. This is a great community that doesn’t need a lot of content moderation, but I am reaching out to see if there is any interest for a new mod that will be engaged and inspire more conversation on the subject of movies...

The fundamental tenet of a working democracy is voting. Everyone should have a vote and everyone should exercise their right to vote. To that end we have been seeing posts attempting to shame/mock or otherwise influence people not to vote. While this is a meme community, the idea that people shouldn’t vote goes against the...

We saw VERY few nominations for books in December, and I know everyone is very busy with the season. We’ll open nominations for January at the end of the month so be thinking about it....

I know this is a busy month for a lot of us. So far we only have 2 nominations for the book club and one of them is mine. It seems like December might not be a great month for the book club. If we don’t get a few more nominations I am going to cancel for December and push whatever nominations we get into nominations for...

The time has come, friends, to nominate more reading for December! This post will collect nominations for the next few days (I’m thinking into the weekend) and then we’ll have us a vote. Please don’t hesitate to talk about why you want to share your pick and why you think it will be a good item for discussion....

I whipped this up today because I am always having to look it up and figure out when I am supposed to put my turkey from the Freezer to the Fridge. I plan to pretty it up over the next few days but hopefully this will be helpful to others (me too since I am cooking a turkey for Thanksgiving and Christmas this year). I am open to...

Luna: New Moon by Ian McDonald...

Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer...

For me I would say “The Expanse” is a huge one. If there was ever a self made family, the crew of the Rocinante is one of the best. The amount of time they spend together and how they congeal into life long partners and friends in the face of some truly awful events is really inspiring to me.

We went to see The Holdovers in a limited screening this weekend and I have to say it was one of the best movies of its kind I have seen in many years. I found myself connecting deeply with he characters and was delighted that the audience was treated with respect throughout. Paul Giamatti’s performance was excellent once...

Hello World! Greetings friends! The time has come to vote for the November Book Club selection. Please follow the link and vote for the books you would like to read. I am allowing votes for more than one (we’ll see how it goes). If you guys have any comments about this process please let me know. We want to make this the best...

It’s time to select a book for November! I’ll collect nominations for the next couple of days....

This is one of those movies that invite you into a new language once you see it. Amazing in both its effectiveness and hilarious camp. It almost contains the greatest fist fight scene of all time. But it’s not just a movie to be gawked at, It’s a movie to be savored....

John Dies at The End by Jason Pargin (David Wong)...

Just got back from Dumb Money. This film ended up being a very unusual experience for me. It’s very well written with quality performances from all involved. The film is skillfully funny while still managing to be a well constructed docudrama. The wildest thing about it is the feeling of watching a doc about a series of events...

So how was it?

Sorry for running late on this one… Please drop some book club nominations for October (preferably not 1000 pages as we are getting started a little late)....
