There is something strangely philosophical about waking up at 6 a.m.on a long weekend, brewing coffee that tastes faintly of regret, and deciding, Yes, today is the day I watch a Matt Damon–Ben Affleck movie before sunrise. This is not self-care.This is survival.This is what adulthood has reduced […]
Apparently, The Devil Wears Prada sequel is slated for 2026, and I, for one, am delighted, not because I need another movie (I really don’t), but because it officially resurrects one of the most perfectly dismissive lines in cinematic history. “Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.” I have been chuckling […]
I watched Die Hard again this week. Yes, again. And yes, it is a Christmas movie. I will not be taking questions at this time. Once you’ve lived in Los Angeles, watching Die Hard becomes a scavenger hunt. You stop following the plot and start clocking landmarks. Oh, […]
Life has officially gotten ridiculous. I say this as someone who generally rolls with the punches, believes reality is fluid, and accepts that nothing ever goes exactly as planned. But even I had to pause this week and reread a headline that felt less like news and more […]

I was half-watching, half petting my tiny dog, half-wondering why I always end up rewatching random Hallmark-adjacent Christmas movies (yes, my math is terrible), when I found myself tuning into Same Time, Next Christmas. And there was a plot twist for me in that the male lead was […]
There are places you want to visit because they’re famous such as Paris, Rome, and Walmart the day after Thanksgiving. Actually, I’ve never done the latter. And then there are places you want to visit because a movie you might have watched once (or maybe just saw the […]
What are your favorite websites? We all have our digital comfort zones. Those little corners of the internet we crawl back to like loyal cats to a warm laptop. Once upon a time, mine were the news sites and TV gossip pages. You know, the ones that whispered […]
Tonight, I accidentally watched The A-Team movie. You know the one with explosions, plans that come together, people running around with implausible physics and even more implausible plot armor. I didn’t mean to watch it, but there I was, caught in its chaotic orbit, wondering how I got […]
