Artez’s World

After seeing Scream 6 a second time, I can give my overall thoughts on the film. It is probably my new favorite out of all the Scream films, a spot initially held by Scream 5. This new movie was absolutely nuts, but that's what made it enjoyable. The characters were pretty good. The Core Four was satisfying in every scene they were in, the breakouts being once again Sam and Tara. The new people were okay and bearable, but Gale continued to steal every scene and bring badass energy (though I didn't like how they backtracked her character development from previous films for the first half of the film). My favorite from the film was Tara. And Kirby's return? *Chef's kiss* I almost cried when I thought she had died in Scream 4, but because the film gods are good, they brought her back for another round! I love the change of scenery from the small town of Woodsboro to New York City. Having the characters fight Ghostface in a city known for crazy crime and f...

 Okay, I say this with the light of the sweet baby Jesus. Joshua Bassett concerns me. Don't get me wrong, I'm a Christian too, and I should be happy that Josh has found Christ, but something about this is rubbing my spirit in the wrong way. I just get the weird feeling that this is all very conversion therapy-ish if you know what I mean. Like next he's going to be all "Oh, I'm not actually queer, cause I found Jesus and He cured it" or he's gonna become a conservative. Granted, I know there are Christian liberals, but Republican Christians are something else. Or worse, he'll become a conservative queer. You know, the ones who are complete sellouts that kiss the butts of straight people and in the process completely turn their backs on the LGBT community all for the approval of people who will never truly accept them and only want them around so they can seem like they aren't close-minded? Hopefully I'm wrong and Josh is still himself just more ...

 Many seek religion, whether Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, or Islam. But sometimes, belief can be more problematic than helpful. Some seek out faith in times of crisis, like when someone they care about falls ill or feels like they've lost their way and their life is spinning out of control. There are those who join a religion because it helps them better understand themselves, the world, and life. But some use their religion as a way to hurt others. They prop themselves on top of their religion and use their views to tear down other people and make themselves feel more important than they are. So it comes to whether religion is genuinely an answer or more like a cult. Take this as an example. I'm a Christian, but I have friends who aren't. Either because they used to be but due to some issues about the church they attended, the family they grew up in, or even how society has treated them because they don't fit whatever idealistic mold the Bible says we hav...

  In this day and age, we have so many fake woke people that it's staggering. Now, I've never really been a fan of the word "woke" because it just feels like something people created to showcase how "open-minded" and "supportive" they are. You can do that by just doing what you're saying. Protesting, showing support for the people, places, things that you're speaking about. Don't run out yelling "I woke, you can't tell me nothing!" Because guess what? You're not. You're just one of those people who is trying to bank off of it so you can come off as tolerable. You could care less about issues and if it wasn't for the fact that you are probably one of the causes or you want to exploit them, you would be dead silent. Hell, half of you will say you will be doing one thing but will be doing something else. So why are you trying to project this image that you are so called "woke?" That word has lost all its...

I sit here thinking about the good times. All the laughs we shared, all the fun we had. I don’t where it all went wrong but I guess it will just be a one sided muster that only you will have the answer to. The pieces of a puzzle that I can’t find. But maybe that’s a good thing, that way I can’t see the full picture. Maybe the truth isn’t some jewel in rusted treasure that I so desperately want to find, to cling to, maybe it’s the bane of my existence, the cause of my nightmares, my 13th reason if you will. But don’t think my curiosity won’t stay within. Don’t think the thought hasn’t crossed my mind. Until you voice your reasons never once will I have piece of mind. I will lay in bed, a dark ceiling starring back at me, words, ideas, theories, floating all around me, I count them instead of sheep. But you won’t haunt me. You won’t creep in the back of my mind like a stalker with its prey everyday. Every now and then you’ll come to mind, against my will I might add. I’ll see a picture o...

                                                                                     Sweet Jesus, I'm so happy that I got into the show Euphoria when I did because this show is hitting different in ways I never thought possible. Now, you should know that I love me a good backstory for a character, particularly the sort of "villain/bad person" characters. So when episode three of Euphoria season 2 came out, the first 20 or so minutes literally had me broken. I never thought these words would leave my lips but oh my God, I feel bad for Cal. Now, before y'all go off and start canceling me let me just say this: I'm not stanning Cal, nor do I think that what happened to him in his past makes up for what he has done now in the present, but I'm kind of looking at this from a so...
