Five albums to be released next year

 

Starting in January 2023, I will be releasing an album each month. The details will be announced later. All five were recorded in 2022.

After the 25th release, the pace will slow down significantly.

Art questions September 2022

 

Q: What do you think about movie reaction channels?

A: Mildly amusing at best.

The number one problem with reaction channels is that the people lack experience. The whole thing is backwards. You're supposed to spend your life doing these things. You don't need Patreon for that. The reaction idea is very limited because the people have been limiting themselves.

Anyone can be a smart-ass. It's the easiest thing in the world. And if you just have a checklist, you're going to miss everything that is not in that list.

Personality-driven is a confused term. We need imagination, experience, curiosity, creativity and critical thinking. All these qualities should be part of your personality.

Channels like Cinema Rules are a symptom. All they do is sit on their lazy asses, spew childish drivel and give you a worthless instant "review". You don't get insight from arrogant buffoons like Cinema Arseholes.

I'm not trashing all reaction channels. This is my criticism as someone who's a genuine movie buff. We should be more honest about how much we make fun of these channels.

I have made specific top 50 lists throughout the years. Black-and-white films, Italian films and so on. Those are short lists. That's what happens when you're a movie buff.
