Catharsis on the Silver Screen
This piece was originally written in 2019 for a graduate school course. Some revisions were made. My first job when I was eighteen years old, wide eyed and bushy tailed and more than willing to do anything to prove myself. It did not matter that I was just working at an AMC, making minimum wage for far too much work and far too irregular schedules. I had to do my best at the job I was given. Sometimes, I put too much into. Way, way too much.

Ranking Franchises
While not every film needs to be a franchise there are some incredible stories that simply require it. Franchises do several things in terms of recognizability, obviously more films generally equals more money but generally speaking it also means more fleshed out content. Now for the purposes of this list we are defining a franchise as any IP with three films or more. We will be ranking them in terms of quality and I will not be taking notes. I will not be including the MCU for reasons of I want to keep this list to franchises that have 1 continuous story, though the MCU has a level of interconnectivity it most certainly does not do that.

Best Directors of All Time
When talking about film we have to talk about the people that make films possible. One of the most important elements of film is the direction. The director is responsible for essentially coordinating every other element in film. They have to take the words on the page and bring them to life for everyone in the production and for the audience. So who are some of the best directors of all time? Well there are plenty but we are going to narrow it down to 10. The criteria being how many movies they directed, quality level of said films, influence of style and recognizability. Other than that I don’t think that this list is going to be in any particular order.

MCU Rewatch
As you may know my husband and I are rewatching all 32 MCU movies. Starting at the very beginning and going through in original release order we are watching all of the Marvel movies in release order. We have gotten through the first two Iron Man movies and now we have the other origin stories for the members of the big 3 of the MCU, Captain America and Thor. As origin stories go they differ pretty greatly but they both serve their purpose in the context of the greater cinematic universe. We are almost towards the end of phase 1 with these movies so we also get to talk about how they laid the groundwork for what’s to come.

My Top Five YouTube Channels
Maybe I am getting softer in my old age, but television and most movies do nothing for me now. Yes, I did see a few Hollywood films this past year – “Oppenheimer” and “Poor Things” – but I am more likely to rely on my own collection of DVDs and saved files that I have managed to compile and not betray by heading off to one of the online channels that gives you a taste of what’s out there, and then decides to remove them to make way for the next waste of time. I did this because I realized that someone was piggybacking onto my account, and that I preferred borrowing what I could from libraries and friends, or finding them at secondhand and surplus stores keeping the faith with us lovers of solid media.
