I Walked Out on the Green Knight-MOVIE REACTION

Yesterday I went to see the Green Knight with Dev Patel. The trailer made it look like a fabulous sword-wielding fantasy adventure. I've enjoyed these kinds of movies since I was a kid. The Conan movies, the Neverending Story, Beastmaster, The Sword and the Sorceror, are examples. Reading that Green Knight was based on an Arthurian story with Gawain, I was all in. 1981's Excalibur is a personal favorite. The first DVD I ever purchased.

Green Knight had amazing visuals but was tedious. I fell asleep several times. It seemed to be an arthouse-style movie(long shots of no conversation with a person doing some mundane activity for 5 minutes or more). Characters are introduced, and it goes nowhere, such as a redheaded ghost and Bald giants. I walked out of the movie after 90 minutes. At the one-hour mark, I thought, let me stick with this. It might get better, but I was forcing myself to watch it. The thought of buying pizza and ice cream, going back home, and continuing my Boardwalk Empire binge, ran across my mind. I'm going through the show a second time.

Green Knight; when it comes to streaming, I might fast forward and watch the last 20 minutes to see how it ends. But this was a waste of time. I'm willing to see anything critically acclaimed, but now I feel confident to not sit through something I don't like, just because everybody else said it's great.

Podcast: Talking Video Games and Making a Beat-December 2025 podcast & videos

In this episode, I dive into the excitement around Valve’s newly announced Steam Machine and what it could mean for the future of handheld gaming. I talk about the rise of hybrid console–portable systems, why shorter and more interactive games fit better into my life now, and why the GTA VI delay honestly doesn’t bother me. I also break down the controversy surrounding Rockstar’s recent employee firings and share my thoughts on the gaming community’s obsession with nostalgia. It’s a mix of tech talk, gaming culture, and personal reflections on how I play today. Finally after a work injury kept me home for three months(late last year), I dove into music production, inspired by Marc Rebillet’s improvisational style and the gear he uses. In this episode, I share the audio from my first beat video using this gear. To see/read the articles and videos on these topics, you can find the gaming article here. The beat making post on here.
