…Each year, the quality of content released to the public from the entertainment industry hits new highs and lows. With every sequel and prequel released, I sink further into doubt that Hollywood can surprise us anymore. After all, what can shake audiences to their core the way that “Arrival of a Train” did? Or the “firsts” of every genre? Thankfully, something always comes along that proves me wrong, and after all these years that Holl...…
…The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com b-side Thursday, December 5, 2019 — 5B B-SIDE: TV/FILM CROSSOVER Comedians Tina Fey and Amy Poehler began their night as hosts of the 2015 Golden Globes with a joke that would define popular media in the 2010s: “Only at the Golden Globes do the beautiful people of film rub shoulders with the rat-faced people of television.” This line, while intended to poke fun at the persistent belief that film i...…
…6B — Thursday, December 5, 2019 Arts The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com While there’s no cut-and-dry definition of the best film of the decade, some measures are better than others. For me, a decade- defining movie must be more than technically, critically or commercially successful. Many films from the 2010s met all of these criteria, all competent, some more memorable than others. After all, even the most holistic and unambiguous ap...…

…I n September of this semester, I made one of, if not the most, significant purchases of my 21 years to date: a houseplant. But this purchase wasn’t just your standard, run-of- the-mill desktop succulent (though don’t get me wrong, I have one of those too). This was a glorious fern, with slender green branches overflowing from her pot and smelling of earth and living things; carefully selected from her almost-but-not-quite as equally fo...…
…T he University of Michigan had a total enrollment of 48,090 students in fall 2019, but apart from people flooding Ingalls Mall during Festifall or joining the crowd walking toward the Big House on game day, there has seldom been a moment I’ve felt the weight of how huge the University actually is. People are constantly bustling through the Diag, earbuds in, laughing with friends or climbing up the steps to Hatcher. However, I’ve never...…
…I like pristine things. Here’s my ironclad logic: If it’s new, it’s going to be more durable. The pristine condition seems like a guaran- tee of quality. The moment when I peel off the screen protector of my brand- new phone is a defining point when I can start calling myself the owner of a quality product. A shiny new, unused object speaks to me, “I’m yours now!” I’m protective of new things, espe- cially new books. I would turn eac...…

…6 — Tuesday, December 3, 2019 Arts The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com Martin Scoresese is no stranger to messy, twisted characters. He has a tendency to paint these characters with a sharp, but humanizing brush. This quality is what gives his films like “Goodfellas” and “Taxi Driver” (among others) their uniquely hazy morality. His stories are compelling not despite their darkness, but because of it. The director’s latest release,...…
