I didn’t do one of these last year for various reasons, not the least of which is I didn’t like anything enough in 2014 to really get up the gumption. Well, this year I liked plenty. I might even say a word or two about some of it (probably not).
In no particular order, 20 things I did in 2015 I recommend, with appropriate videos or links:
Hotline Miami 2 soundtrack
Fargo Season 1
Hand of Fate
Bloodborne
David Bowie: Five Years box set
Criterion: Mulholland Drive, Kwaidan, The Brood
TCM Summer of Darkness film noir marathon
Fallout 4
Weightlifting
Things I learned:
-However hard it is to get well, being sick is significantly worse.
-Most forms of entertainment are not edifying, but simply ways to excuse your own boredom. Do something.
-You can get Crimson Peak beer at the Firestone Brewery. It’s a little winy, very pink. Not as fully flavored as I like my beers (though I’m not an IPA guy – fully flavored doesn’t mean full of hops).
Opinion that will get you to hate me, 2016:
There is no one more boring than Neil Degrasse Tyson.
