MCU films kill movie stars…. and how is that supposed to be bad?

Also published on Wordpress. Seriously, how? When I was a much more unsophisticated film consumer, I watched films because of their premises, they were adaptations of certain source materials and they were sequels of films that I liked. I was not star struck by the actors. As a teen, I…

Voting conservative

Also published on Wordpress. So, you are a woman and/or a person of minority background who votes conservative. Why? Is it because you want equal rights? If equal rights for women and minorities have always been the status quo, then I understand. But, we know damn well that is not…

‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’ isn’t that confusing

Also published on Wordpress. *spoiler alert* I admit it is far from the most escapist film ever. It is a comedic, psychological, absurdist, action-packed sci-fi film. Its story starts as one before splitting into two main branches that symbolically paralleling each other. It depicts existentialism, nihilism, generational gaps and identity…

“You should ‘go out’ more”… part 2

Also published on Wordpress. A while ago, I wrote a blogpost about how people keep suggesting me to “go out” and encounter opposing worldview NOT because they care about me, but because I refuse to appease to their preconceived beliefs; they want to discredit me, but aren’t able to. I…

Being basic: not a sin, not something to be proud of

Also published on Wordpress. Basic is a pejorative slang word which means preference to anything that is mainstream and inability to enjoy anything niche and are of acquired tastes. I think it is appropriate to extend the definition to one’s lack of interest in any highbrow and heavy topics. You…

How to catch a groomer (and virtue signal)

Also published on Wordpress. *puts on a mask* What is grooming? It is an act of creating emotional bond with a child in order to sexually exploit them later on. But, we know you don’t care about that. What you care about is making sure queer people remain discriminated against…

The existential dread of bootlickers

Also published on Wordpress. In places where police brutality is rampant, cops are comparable to domestic abusers. They wrongfully arrest and kill citizens and then try to gaslight everyone that life is better with their presence, despite evidences to the contrary. I don’t know how to compare bootlickers here. Are…

No, Ayam Geprek is not the ultimate Indonesian dish (not yet)

Also published on Wordpress. Yes, I have to commend Indonesians who actively promote our cultures to foreigners. I also have to appreciate foreigners who genuinely love our cuisines without any desire to pander to validation-hungry Indonesians. But, I also need to criticise them for overselling ayam geprek. In a previous…

Why I hate Trevor Noah

Also published on Wordpress. *puts on a mask* He is not funny. But, that is not all. My taste in humour is also objectively the best and I have to constantly remind the world about that. He refuses to be Jon Stewart. Successors don’t have the right to be themselves…

My kind of ideal place to grow up in

Also published on Wordpress. Disclaimer: while I didn’t grow up with an upperclass lifestyle, my upbringing was still a financially-privileged one. Privileged enough to not growing up hungry, privileged enough to not be financially wrecked by the ongoing pandemic. But, even if my family had a billionaire dollar, I am…
