The Start of What Hopes to be a Beautiful Sounding Game Winning Friendship (Quad Culture Staff)

Howdy, it’s odd to introduce something that has been on my Brain for over a year but nonetheless today that is what I hope to do. Quad Culture is a dream and me and my writers can’t wait for you to see it become a reality. However I’ll leave the emotionally complex stuff to the talented staff I am actively assembling as you read. I’ll keep it short and sweet. If you love sports this is the place for you. If you love movies this is the place for you. If you love tv this is the place for you. If you love music this is the place for you. If for some awkward and outlandishly odd reason none of those things are for you I’d still love it if you gave us a read. I mean why not you are already here. I above all encourage engaging with the content debate with the content but be respectful as that’s the way we can all enjoy it. Excited for you to be a part of this little dream of mine and hope you stick around and bring some friends or enemies with you to the party. Happy reading!

With one slight sound of a guitar, joy and a bit of sadness begin to paint my face as Lizzy McAlpine’s “To the Mountains” plays. This is what I will write about. Today is no ordinary day for my sad boy music taste. It is the day that my favorite musician has released a brand new album, however I won’t listen to that for another few hours. I must wait for when I can go back to the solitude of my Lazy Boy chair and my Beats in the dark of my bedroom. For now I’ll settle with one of McAlpine's older tunes, a melancholy about finding sol...

Nolan: Worth the Time? (Movies)

The era of Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy spanned for three movies, and seven years. They are centered around billionaire Bruce Wayne, portrayed by Christian Bale and follows him from his origins to the ending of his time as the Caped Crusader. Though following the formula of Batman’s typical origin story: a) dead parents, b) turning to a life of crime to gain vengeance, and the obvious: c) becoming the Batman, Christopher Nolan adds a grittier element yet to be seen on screen in the form of the League of Shadows. This trilogy is based around Bruce Wayne’s time as Batman as he walks the thin line between being Gotham’s hero, and being an ill-famed vigilante. As aforementioned, Christopher Nolan is highly regarded as being one of the strongest directors to be currently producing films. Between period pieces to science fiction, you can assume it will be tackled with the typical Nolan style. As confirmed by the countless positive reviews by fans and critics alik...
