The Case for Johnny Gargano Winning the Royal Rumble

Image
photo credit: WWE.com Let's start here: by my measurements of what makes a wrestler great, Johnny Gargano is the best goddamn professional wrestler in the world today. He's insanely athletic, creative, versatile, his mic work--while not particularly special--is real and authentic, and he's far and away the best in-ring storyteller since Shawn Michaels. At this point, his call-up to the main roster seems almost inevitably penciled in for early 2019 and the odds seem pretty decent for him being a token NXT entrant in the Royal Rumble. But if WWE is willing to do something different and risky (narrator: they aren't), I believe there's a huge opportunity to be had in Johnny Gargano going the distance and winning the whole damn thing. The main reason I'd like to see this happen is very simple: as I mentioned before, NXT usually gets at least one token entrant in the Royal Rumble each year. I dunno about you, but I'm a big fan of a wrestling show letting a t

In Defense of Rob Zombie's Halloween

Image
I know, okay? I know how everybody feels about remakes. Especially horror movie remakes. But it seems like there is no more unfairly maligned horror movie remake than Rob Zombie's Halloween. It's understandable. Halloween is a classic, groundbreaking film. It was the first horror movie I ever saw and one of the first R-rated movies I ever saw. I remember how much I loved the fact that it relied more on atmosphere and tension than blood and gore. I remember how much I loved the perfectly creepy soundtrack. I remember buying a Halloween mask and breathing heavily into it like Michael Myers for weeks. But what Rob Zombie did with this source material deserves a hell of a lot more respect than it gets and on this, the day that lends the movie its name, I'd like to lay out all the reasons why...

The Hate U Give OFFICIAL TRAILER

Image
Anyone who knows me probably knows that I've been trying to tell literally anyone who will listen about the sheer brilliance of Angie Thomas's award-winning 2017 young adult novel "The Hate U Give" about a young black girl who is the only witness to the shooting of her lifelong best friend--who is unarmed--by the police and the whirlwind of events that follows. I have never read a book or really consumed any piece of art that so deftly and uncompromisingly runs the gauntlet of all that encompasses the experience of being black in America. From mass incarceration to an uncle who is police officer to "passing" at a predominantly white private high school to having a white boyfriend who evolves from reluctant ally to willing accomplice and another white best friend who falls off because "you talk about race too much" to absent fathers in jail to present fathers doing their best despite a checkered past to protests turned riots to being pressured

Happy 25th and 20th Anniversary "Parable of the Sower" and "Parable of the Talents" by Octavia E. Butler (and Happy 71st Birthday Octavia!)

Image
(c) Patti Perret/The Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens Today, in celebration of Octavia E. Butler's birthday, I would like to talk about Earthseed. 2018 marks the 25th and 20th anniversary, respectively, of Octavia E. Butler's landmark duology, Parable of the Sower (1993) and Parable of the Talents (1998) and not a moment too soon. The Earthseed Cycle, named for the fictional (but all too real) religion that forms the core of the story, is perhaps the most relevant work of fiction to the social and political landscape of 2018. The dystopian future that Butler extrapolates here is so realistic as to almost feel prophetic. At the very least, the Earthseed Cycle, set almost entirely between the years 2024 and 2035, is a cautionary tale of a future that does not seem very far off from being realized--indeed, in many ways, it feels a little too close for comfort. Which is even more staggering when you consider the words of best-selling, award-winning au
