year-end lists
-
That’s right, everyone! It’s time for everyone to roll out their best and worst lists of 2019. I look forward to these lists every year. There’s just something so cathartic about the rants and something so moving about the raves. In the past, I’ve done Best, Worst, and Most Disappointing lists for books, albums, movies,

Well, we’ve finally made it. Not only is this my last year-end list, but it’s my last post of 2018. What a year it’s been. I could reflect on it for hours. But I won’t. Ain’t nobody got time for that. We’re here today to find out what shows I thought were the best 2018

Out of all my lists, I’d say that this and my Worst Albums of 2018 are my most controversial. How can a best list cause controversy? Because, as someone who knows little about film, I tend to prefer movies experts either call guilty pleasures or outright hate. And the most frustrating part? My uneducated opinion

Recently, I was tagged on Twitter to post my four favorite books of 2018. I didn’t do it because, well, a couple problems. First of all, the lowest I am able to narrow my list down to is seven. Twitter only allows four pictures per Tweet. I suppose I could’ve added the other three in

As I said in my Worst Albums of 2018 post, 2018 was a good year for music if you knew where to look. Relying on the charts will only make you depressed. Fine tuning your music taste and finding releases based on that is the only way to go. To make my list, the album

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve gotten better about not forcing myself to read books I’m not enjoying. Why waste time and energy on a book that sucks? However, I’ve also gotten a lot better at choosing books that fit my interests. That has lessened my need to DNF books. In fact, I only had to

It’s time for my worst lists to come to an end. Last on the autopsy table are the four shows I thought really sucked this year. I seriously didn’t plan for all my worst lists to be Top 4 lists. They all just came out that way by bizarre coincidence. I’m honestly a little unnerved

I’ve been very transparent about the fact that I’m not well-versed in cinematography. I don’t know a lot about film theory. This stuff just isn’t my forte. But that doesn’t mean I can’t tell a good movie from a bad one. I know what bad acting looks like. I took theater for a year. But,

You know, 2018 was actually a really good reading year for me. I didn’t read quite as many books as I have in previous years, but the quality was much better overall. I feel like I really did a good job of sticking to my reading resolutions. They were very effective in ensuring mostly positive

Music critics have either labeled 2018 a mediocre year for music or a terrible one. Personally, I found this to be a good year for music… if you look in the right places. The charts are a nightmare, but my playlists are not. However, even I found some albums to be just god awful. Even
