2016/07/14

You're either with Paul Feig's new Ghostbusters or you're with the misogynists, or so the internet has decreed, which is at least mildly annoying to those of us who don't really care about a big budget reboot either way. It feels wrong to divert activism energy towards a ghost movie. I mean, where were the people crowing about proving the misogynists wrong during the release of Maggie's Plan (insert other movie written and directed by a woman here)? But then people share pictures of smiling little

Big topics this week include Primer (2004), Megan Fox in Crystal Corner, OJ: Made in America, and of course my staph infection, and also getting in a car accident on the way to the hospital to be treated for said staph infection.
