Yeah this has been coming for a while. So I got a new job that pays really well, I had a great place to work with decent hours. I could wake up, go to work, and still have time to either come home or go to the movies and write reviews, so that's why most of the new movie releases had their reviews posted much later in the day. I am always about seeing movies bright and early, not only for price but also seat convenience and other pros. It worked. But something that was out of my power and control went down, and they had to move me. Still have the job, still have the good pay, but now the hours suck. After I wake up I have 2 to 3 hours to watch a movie and write the review, I get to my job just a bit after noon and don't get home until about 11:00 at night. It is a time waster of epic proportions. Now everything in life is a time waster, it's just that some things are actually worth wasting time on specifically stuff you love to do. Read a book, go see a movie, play a game, if it matters to you and you really love it then it's not a time waster. Thankfully I have weekends off but you can see the toll this will take on seeing new movies, the earliest showings for any new movie is about 10:00 in the morning, and that's totally fine if I had reliable transportation. Hopefully I can get a car but I don't have one now, if I did I'd probably be okay but it just sucks. I wanted to see just two movies over the last week, Booksmart and Brightburn. I have no idea when I'll get to them. Cause I need to dedicate the weekend for something special next week! I'm very excited for it and it will take the whole week to do, hopefully I can get Friday off or most of Friday off so I can actually go to the movies. And after that we're back on a decent schedule for reviews but Booksmart and Brightburn will have to wait until mid-June if they're even still out . It's just aggravating that I have no time to do what I need to do here. It's a very special thing because it's not a job, not really, it is but I watch movies for crying out loud. It's pretty awesome so I don't feel like there's this classic work vs. fun dynamic here because it's both. I just feel I'm wasting countless days of my life for absolutely no reason, and if there is one thing I despise in this world it is the wasting of time! And all due to nonsensical humans. To quote one of my favorite cartoons, "I despise the living, curse them all.". Ugh, hopefully it gets better next week with a more open schedule, I just felt it was important to tell everybody because it is something that affects the reviews. Thank the Endless I plan ahead at least one month in advance, so I'm not grabbing at straws every week on what to review. Just bare with me for a tiny bit and we'll get back on track, no matter what it costs me. Thanks for listening to me rant I guess, you know how much I appreciate you, and I can only hope that life gets better for everybody. See you guys next week.

Ugh....
Why can't I just get paid for this? So my actual job job called me in tomorrow and Tuesday which means Creed 2 will be pushed until then. And it's the same situation as the last time this happened, wake up before the sun rises and get home by nightfall just to do it all over again. I'm simultaneously happy I got the Kurosawa movies done so early cause if I did them now I would not be a happy camper, yet I'm kinda kicking myself in the ass for doing them early cause I had to push new movies back weeks ahead! November has just been a nightmare this year, thank the gods I only have a grand total of I think 2 new movies in December. I'm so tired. Like what use am I if I can't tell you about a movie the day it comes out? This month just needs to end. Normally I would never say that because of Christmas starting soon but man, I need to break this bad spell beginning with the subsequent end of this month. Hopefully I can get the new Creed done by Wednesday. I am so upset because of this and I don't know what to do. Hang tight for me, I'll be back. I hope.

Wearing A Bit Thin...
I feel I have failed my readers. Work has not been very easy for me, especially in the category of time. I have to wake up so early in the morning and get home in the evening with barely enough time to eat and go straight to bed to just wake up early yet again for work. The pay is very good, but what's the point of having all the money you want if you can't find the time to buy the things you want? If memory serves I have reviewed just about every film I have in my possesion now, although there is so very much more locked away in storage and yet cannot fit in our little apartment. The sooner I get a nice sized room, the better off we will be. But for the time being, it's very difficult. Believe me, if I have any sort of time to review something I will do it without hesitation. And the fact I want to make what I write fun to read and try not to blather on and on until the sun sets is not difficult but not a stroll in the park either. There's a lot of in's, lot of out's, lot of what have you's in the old Duder's head. Every reviewer on the face of the Earth deals with this same problem. Time waits for no one. And yet, time will tell. It always does. Until next time...
