Every year, it's the same. WWE sells the idea of Money in the Bank changing the lives of the wrestling involved, and I buy it. I believe that WWE might actually take some risks especially with a roster that continues to larger with more potential stars than ever before.

Sure, some benefit. Some get a brief boost, but it all comes back to the same stars. It's a cheap trick WWE pulls because no one is a star without WWE already backing them. MITB is a promise rarely fulfilled, and I continue to forget how few actually benefit from the spotlight.

Maybe I'm just cynical because I'm sick of Brock Lesnar.

Quick Take: Long Shot has the humor to match up to some of best romantic comedies while also taking a fresh perspective that is driven by more than a bit of political commentary. It manages to utilize its talented leads well and mostly avoid the typical gross-out humor that Seth Rogen is best known for.

Quick Take: Missing Link may not match up to the high bar that Laika has set with their recent animated films, but it is still a touching and engaging tale about shared difference that feels well suited to appeal to all ages groups.

Quick Take: John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum takes its action to new violent heights with a surprising amount of dry humor. However, despite the best efforts of the talented cast, the jumbled pacing and disjointed storytelling make this the weakest in the franchise for anyone looking for more than running action set pieces.

WWE is going through an existential crisis right now backstage that is playing out on disjointed weekly television. Ratings issues are getting overblown to the point that the company is hastily retconning and rehashing to save face.

Despite all this, there aren't a lot of real risks WWE is taking. In fact, it's playing it safer than it did perhaps any time last year. The same guys are working both brands now. The women are getting sidelined beyond Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair.

I sometimes forget who the tag team champions are or that there are three distinct tag team championships. I even have started forgetting just how much untapped potential is on this roster. It's all a jumble.

As a free piece of advice to WWE that will never be read, just try something different. Embrace the idea of getting people talking. You have nothing to lose at this point because you're already losing badly.

I know there's so much more anime out there left for me to explore, but I will admit that I find myself struggling to find the right shows to watch now. My limited knowledge of the medium has me clambering for ideas as I've gone through most of the well known franchises.

That brings me to a host of shows that are known but have been given largely mixed reviews. Guilty Crown is certainly one of those. It's got an impressive science fiction and fantasy aesthetic that is alluring, but I had no idea what I was getting into with the show.

It was colorful, unique, and exciting, but I didn't know if it was truly going to be any good. I still don't know if I made the right choice even giving the intriguing series a chance now looking back.
