POPS GUSTAV: December 2013
http://blog.popsgustav.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 30, 2013. Anchorman 2: The Publicity Tour Was Better. I like Will Ferrell. I do. I think he’s funny and charming and likeable and all that stuff. But when it comes to his movies—particularly the Judd Apatow productions directed by his pal Adam McKay—I am almost always unmoved (their short films on Funny or Die. Work much better for me, no doubt in no small part due to their brevity). After seeing AMERICAN HUSTLE. Is a sporadically amusing exercise in self-indulgence that seems like it mu...

POPS GUSTAV: May 2015
http://blog.popsgustav.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 31, 2015. Oyhood, or, A Painful Adolescence. Seriously, Painful. In the early 2000s, I fell out of love with independent cinema. Or rather, independent cinema that dealt with how shitty real life can be. In a span of five weeks, I saw HEAVEN.
