"Hiatus" should be a verb
Here’s why.
Sometimes, you choose to go on a hiatus, whether it’s from work or school or the internet or whatever. Sometimes you just need a break. But sometimes, especially with the internet, you’re basically pushed into a break. Which is basically what’s happened with me. I haven’t uploaded a video for a while because of reasons (which I say only because that seems...

Dear Hypothetical Moviemakers,
I realize that John Green’s novels have not, as of late, had the greatest luck when it comes to being made into movies, so this may not come to anything. But maybe it will. And if it does, I think fans of John Green’s novels—and this one in particular—want this endeavor to succeed. So, let me give you a bit of unrequested and unqualified...
thewastelandofnerds asked: I got a suggestion, I know you have your Book vs. Movies review and From Stage to Screen. But you don't have a review series comparing Books and Muscials.

-The Time Traveler’s Wife—bittersweet ending
-Looking For Alaska—bittersweet and rather ambiguous ending with a sad middle

The Book Thief Ending (SPOILERS)
Hey Matt,
I just finished The Book Thief. Fantastic book! While I wouldn’t call it an ultimate recommendation, it’s very high on my list of favorite novels.
I just wanted to ask you though (Since you tend to over-analyze stuff like I do.) what your thought was of the ending. I loved how Death ultimately comes to Leisel, just like he does to everyone else. But what puzzled me the...

I PASSED MY COMPREHENSIVE EXAMS!!!
So, in my particular field of Masters work, there’s an alternative to writing a thesis called comprehensive examinations. Basically, you choose a committee of three professors that you’ve had during graduate school, and each of them give you two questions (ones that take a good forty minutes to answer, mind you). In the written portion, you then have five hours to answer these six...
