2015 in Review: The Memetic Retrospective

Hey, it's almost 2016. That means this shitshow of a year is almost over. When you think about it, this really was one of the worst years in recent memory (aka the media covered a lot of scary things ;_;). As of December 21st, there have been more mass shootings in America than there are days in a year. The Paris Attacks. IS(IS)(IL) declaring war on literally everybody ever. Donald Trump is seriously running for President and people are seriously rooting for Donald Trump. The Democratic Party is showing its true colors (really red) by acting like a group of Republicans who decided to say some sensible things but deciding that, hey, fuck it, we're still politicians, so we need to do absolutely nothing right. Thankfully, it seems like this is the turning point for American politics; everyone realized it wasn't actually politics.

But that's in the past. We should never dwell on the past; we might actually learn from it, and that's bad.

Fuck the pretense, I'm Jake Reed and here's what I thought of some entertainment mediums in 2015.

Star Wars Strikes Back; A (Spoiler Free) Review of the Force Awakens

The Force Awakens; Directed by J.J. Abrams; Starring Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaacs, Adam Driver, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, and Mark Hamill. 

The Force has finally awoken. 'Bout damn time.

       After a decade of waiting, and many, many months of speculation and hype, the inevitable sequel to the Star Wars franchise has been released. Directed by newcomer to the saga, J.J. Abrams, The Force Awakens has been one of the most highly anticipated movies in recent memory, and set to become one of, if not the best selling movie in box office history. But we are here to discuss the movie itself. Does it follow in the footsteps of the classic trilogy, or does it fall closer to the excruciatingly mediocre prequels?

I Come Back To You Now...

...At the turn of the tide.


Stay tuned!
