Excellent Bits Of Cinema You Aren't Watching

In no particular order, here are a few of the best bits of cinema and entertainment that have flown under the radar of American mainstream entertainment consumption, and in my opinion, are far and away more excellent than what you can find on any major network.


1) What We Do in the Shadows


If you like things that are funny and laughing until your whole body hurts, then watch this. I have watched it countless times, and I still laugh so hard I start crying and my sides hurt for days after. This is perfect for watching after inhaling entire pumpkin buckets of Halloween candy. Take it from someone with experience in that exact scenario.

2) You're The Worst

It's the best, no contest. It's hilarious and brutal and honest and it treats its characters like real people with real problems without annoying sentimentality or overt, preachy life lessons. The third season is halfway finished, but you can catch up through Hulu or other similar entertainment platforms. Be careful, because you will binge watch it in one weekend and then go back and re-watch every episode that made you feel all the feels, and that art history term paper will not write itself.

3) The Secret of Kells


If your tastes run more toward animated films or artful inspirations, this is for you. It is the most visually stunning animated film I've ever seen, and that is not hyperbole. The level of artistry evident in this work is so far above its contemporaries, its unreal. Watch it if you are in the mood for visual inspiration.

4) The Tenth Kingdom


This is a really fun mini-series about a New Yorker girl who gets pulled into a dangerous web of politics in an alternate universe where the Brother's Grimm apparently got the inspiration for their dark fantasy stories.

Have fun and Happy Halloween!

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
