Alas the final quarantine post is here. I don’t know about you guys but I’ve been so bored I’ve taken to walking. Like seven miles a day type walking. I highly recommend the Butler Trail, it’s ten miles total but I like to just go to the South Lamar bridge and back to my place.Continue reading “The End Credits”

Another day, another cat movie time. I swear, one or both of us are coming out of this quarantine with separation anxiety. Today we’re watching “Ex Machina” by director Alex Garland. I think this movie comes at a weird time for us, we all thought the future would look like the high tech life livedContinue reading ““Ex Machina””

Another day, still at home. Mostly. Today we took a quarantine hike before I was forced to watch “Land of the Lost” by director Brad Silberling. While this was called a classic by Nick, it was actually nominated for Worst Picture in the 30th Annual Golden Raspberry Awards. I guess that should truly show thatContinue reading ““Land of the Lost””

Roger Ebert is one of the original, and longest lasting, American film critics. I find that I rarely agree with critics and to a degree that could be a generational gap. I was born in 1999 while Roger was born in 1942. I’m also a snot about old films or movies that take themselves tooContinue reading “Is Roger Ebert Wrong? Or is it me?”

Good evening from quarantine beach! I made the trip from Maryland to Florida hopefully without a run in with Miss Rona. The airports were actually annoyingly full of old people blatantly ignoring social distancing. Maybe they’re Vogons! This week was actually my pick. I know I know, it breaks the rules. There are only soContinue reading ““Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy””

Happy quarantine everyone! Things have been a little crazy for both Nick and I. I traveled this week to Maryland to see my dad and then to Florida to see my mom. Traveling during a global pandemic sure is something else. Remember to wash your hands often and don’t touch your face! Small change ofContinue reading ““The Grand Budapest Hotel””

Nick and I gathered this week with our favorite stuffed sloth. The first film Nick selected was “Silence of the Lambs”, directed by Jonathan Demme in 1991. Nick picked this because he believes it is a cornerstone of American horror films and it was a tragedy that I had never seen it. Silence is aboutContinue reading ““Silence of the Lambs””

I’m Kaitlin Broadbent! I’m twenty years old and originally from Maryland. About nine months ago I met Nick Manzi and we’ve been inseparable ever since. Nick is born and raised Texan so we’ve had to deal with little cultural differences the entire time we have been together. He is super into sports and has grownContinue reading “Who are Nick and Kaitlin?”
