Salma Paralluelo and my Uneven Connection with Women’s Football.

I don't mean to gatekeep but I got here first. — One of my earliest memories of women’s football was watching Abby Wambach, in some shades, probably drunk out of her mind just going nuts with the Women’s World Cup Trophy on parade with the rest of the USWNT. I remember thinking, “They look pretty cool.”

Casablanca (1942)

Love and all his drunken friends. Love. It’s considered to be incapable of precise definition, however, it is simply a feeling. Though it’s one unlike all the others, in that it is attached to all the others. The feeling of love itself is the emotion. The ultimate. Euphoric, a deep devotion, affection, attraction, desire. Like a…

A Clockwork Orange (1971).

The Strange, The Bold and the Search for a connection. — This is one of those movies that always comes up in conversation when someone’s making jokes about people’s perception of the British or amongst black turtleneck wearing stereotypes of pretentious movie critics. Anyway, I set time out to watch it. Watching this movie was weird which, to be fair, is…

Blade Runner 2049

Stylish, Special and an impressive feat in denying destiny — I’ve been putting off watching this movie for a while now for whatever reason. Maybe it’s the near 3 hour runtime or maybe it’s cos I didn’t know how to feel about it. Here's what I mean by that. I watched the first movie. Loved it. I was impressed by…

Pam and Tommy

…and the feeling of exceeded expectations. — Expectations are something. They’re something real special, especially as regards entertainment. As silly and pedestrian as it may seem it is true that despite our much-heralded higher brain function and those fancy, almost flashy opposable thumbs, as humans we do tend to let things such as “expectations” and “hype” affect…

Consequence.

The Death of an Icon and the Appreciation of Isolated Experiences. — Storytelling is art, objectively. Finely balancing enjoyable characters, a fitting setting, a compelling underlying narrative and story. It takes a delicate touch. But, critically, for lack of more intently obscurant words, it’s gotta make sense. For instance, the concepts behind this entire grand tale has to remain consistent Where your…

The Spirit of Competition

Lewis, Legacy and The Edge of My Seat. — At the heart of every sport is competition. It could mean the unrelenting desire of all competing parties to win or a genuine chance that a healthy number of competitors could actually win, not just on the night but win it all. Competition is key to our enjoyment of sports…
