Remember When Nine Inch Nails Mastermind Trent Reznor Wanted to Create a TV Series?
Nine Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor first teased us with the idea of making a TV mini-series about his album, Year Zero, as far back as 2008. The album concept of exploring the world after a nuclear war between the United States and Iran gained popularity and attracted the likes of frequend NIN collaborator David Fincher and even head honchos over at HBO and BBC. There was even confirmation by Reznor himself that a Year Zero series was in the development stages at HBO and BBC, but even that update was 10 years ago.

American Idol Upset Me
Hear me out; I'm a massive fan of American Idol even though I am Canadian. I have been a loyal viewer since Kelly Clarkson's big win in 2002. That is nineteen years of Idol love. Today is my very first rant to the world ever in my life. Don't get me wrong, I rant, just never on a world platform. So, here goes.

My guilty binge pleasure
So the year 2020 started out well. Everyone around me seemed excited about all the new possibilities until March hit. Most of us thought that the Corona Virus (as it was called at the time), was just another flu, we didn’t really equate it with anything serious. After all, we had been through SARS years earlier and that was contained quickly. I didn’t even realize the impact of SARS until more information came out about this new virus. Anyway, that is not the point, the point is that I was laid off work and was being paid for it, and with most things shut down, there wasn’t really anything to apply for, not that I wanted to be out in public in any case.

10 More Songs That Glee Would Have Covered If It Was Still on TV
Disclaimer: This is not me endorsing or ignoring the very problematic situations that have come out of Glee or its cast (i.e. ableism, racism, etc). These articles are for fun and nostalgia and are based solely on what the show was and my love for the characters, not the actors who play them.

My Review of "MTV VMAs 2020"
MTV VMAs 2020 tried to emulate their previous year's successes but it's a little tough when everyone is in quarantine. Or so they seem to be in quarantine. We all know in the back of our heads that there are a large number of these celebrities that aren't practicing proper social distancing and whatnot but they have to appear in public that they are.
