By the time the opening shot of “Gravity’” appeared on the screen I already knew that I’d made a terrible mistake. Being a typical, vehicle-lacking college student I decided to see the film at Sundance cinemas to avoid the hour-long bus odyssey needed to get to an IMAX screen. Unfortunately, Sundance was only screening the film in 2D. It seemed like the logical choice at the time, but I now see the error of my ways. I totally repent to director Alfonso Cuaron for not seeing his masterwork of digital imagery on a screen that could do it justice.

Is it sad that asking for a film to be fun AND intelligent is usually hand-waved with an unsatisfactory “Well, most people just won’t get it, so why bother”? I think it’s a tragedy. I like films to be intelligent. I like ideas and consequences that make me think. I’m weird like that.

Last week, FX’s hit series “Sons of Anarchy” aired its Season 6 premiere to landmark numbers. Despite what even the creator of the show admitted was a disturbing episode, “Sons of Anarchy” drew in 8.32 million viewers in its 10 p.m. time slot, setting a record for any show on FX. Packed into the hour were guns, rape and other multitudes of gross, sometimes downright squeamish scenes. So it’s no surprise that immediately following the premiere, the Parents Television Council blasted the network and creator for airing such an offensive and insensitive episode. Oh, here we go.

I'm bad at giving gifts. Don't get me wrong, I'll always give gifts to my immediate family but I'll do it in the worst possible fashion. For Christmas, I'll usually give my sisters money out of my wallet the morning of, while giving my parents a gift card of their choice. With this being said, the most economically efficient gift I could give to my dad this Father's Day is through my column.

Ah, summer. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, the lake is… being a lake. For three months at least, the world is bright and beautiful. What’s a better way to spend them than by shutting yourself into a dark room with a collection of strangers to be distracted by light and sound for a couple hours?

Being on a typical college student’s budget while trying to create a stylish apartment can be tough. Your apartment will probably have carpets that are some unknown brown-green mess of color and will, to your surprise and horror, soak up any substance. Despite this and a lack of “cute” furniture, your apartment can still look good. Maybe even Pinterest-worthy if you have the knack, however, it might require some handiwork of your own.
