This was a big month for me. For those of you who don’t follow me on instagram or facebook, this February, I finally married Deanna, the love of my life, after five years of saying we were going to get married soon, and it’s been phenomenal. The ceremony was incredible— essentially exactly the way we envisioned it as being— and it was beautiful and we had a very wonderful break from work together and generally just spent all our time together for 9 days straight and it was fan-tastic. At some point she even took me to Dave & Buster’s for the first time because I’d never been and damn dudes I didn’t know how much I was missing out?
So yeah, a lot of my month has been spent focusing on my wedding, as well as preparing to go and see family in the coming months— seeing my family next month and seeing Deanna’s family as well as my little brother’s college graduation in April— and you may conclude that as a result I wouldn’t have as much media to talk about in this newsletter. Not so! I’ve got a bunch of stuff to talk about!
A few movies to get out of the way, both of which I watched over this past weekend— M3GAN and Cocaine Bear, both of which seemed to get the same kind of public and critical reception, ie, movies that gain a lot of internet popularity on the basis of them being completely blunt and buckwild in their marketing and presentation. I’ve even seen Cocaine Bear compared to Snakes On A Plane, which is actually pretty unfair in my opinion. What I can tell you for fact is that both of these movies totally rock, Cocaine Bear more than the somewhat reserved M3GAN.
