Professional malcontent Christopher M. Jones attempted to leave a bunch of comments on our page slamming otherwise well-liked works of cinema. Normally we’d have sent that to the spam folder but we were impressed by his boldness while simultaneously disturbed by the sheer volume of disses he left on articles that in fact had nothing at […]

Go Home, Kid: Why Boyhood Deserved Its Best Picture Loss

March 4, 2015 By LoserCityBoss Leave a Comment

Nostalgia Road Trip: Boyhood is a Masterpiece of Cinematic History

July 16, 2014 By LoserCityBoss Leave a Comment

There has never been and will never be another film quite like Boyhood. That much is certain.
