Here are just a few miscellaneous things I have written or worked on over the years that doesn’t neatly fit into an ad-man’s portfolio. (The James Bond photo will make sense in a second.)

The 007 Timeline

This was a year long research project I did cataloguing the history of James Bond film adaptations, and where they fall in the cultural landscape. It’s a fun read, if a bit scholarly. You can check the whole thing out here.

My Letterboxd Reviews

I have catalogued every single film I have ever seen on letterboxd. It’s 2,845 at the moment of writing this if you are curious. And for the past few years, I have taken the effort to writing a review for every new I’ve seen. Some our long-winded and others are a quick thought. But it is a nice compendium of my thoughts put into words. Click here to see the whole enchilada.

I HATE TELEVISION — A Slam Poem

I Hate Television.

I hate the constant commercials, the studio oversight, the celebration of the same.

I hate the lack of diversity: the token characters and white-washed stereotypes.

I hate that anything remotely good on television either dies an early death or becomes syndicated beyond any recognition.

I hate that the magic of the movie theater is dying, as more people prefer to watch TV from the comfort of their homes.

I hate HGTV. I hate MTV. I hate reality TV.

I hate that groundbreaking performances on television go ignored consistently while Jim Parsons rakes in his fourth Emmy.

I hate that every Tinder profile I read has an Office quote in it.

I hate Kevin Spacey for ruining House of Cards, AMC for ruining The Walking Dead and everyone for ruining The Simpsons.

I hate that a good episode of The Twilight Zone is better than ninety percent of sci-fi tv today, and a good episode of Seinfeld is better than ninety percent of everything today.

I hate that we have more television now than ever before, but it feels like we have less to watch than ever.

I love a good TV show, but god, I Hate Television.

Here is a slam poem I performed at The Green Mill commentating on the state of TV.
