Alex writes about\u00a0all the movies he has seen since 2009.<\/em><\/p>\n

So here we are.<\/p>\n

I am sitting down to write during the NBA Finals, having just returned from seeing a new Diablo Cody movie, as one does. On my television, LeBron James is playing basketball better than anybody has this millennium, as he does. Since I cannot stand the sound of Mark Jackson, I am obsessively listening to Pusha T over the sound of the game, as I do. I am publishing this long after this actual occurrence, because it occasionally takes me a lot of time to write these and I become attached to references chosen for the first draft.<\/p>\n

The only thing that has changed is nothing at all.<\/p>\n

There is no grand point to this essay, no particular subject in question, merely a series of observations from somebody who has lived a life of inaction, a life full of such observations. The observations, unsurprisingly, are repetitive, and invariably I ask myself the same few questions each time I watch a new film.<\/p>\n
