• The Rising Sun: The Decline and Fall of the Japanese Empire, 1936-1945 by John Toland documents the beginning, middle and end of World War II as it concerned Japan. It is brilliantly researched and written, hence winning the 1971 Pulitzer Prize in the General Nonfiction category. I didn’t realize this was such a much-needed read…

  • I’m so glad, once again, to not have been persuaded by the numerous trolls and idiotic posts on how bad this movie was. While psychological thriller movies can at times be so convoluted to the point where not even the directors themselves understand what they’re trying to do, with Eileen, I felt it was deep…

  • This next song has a lot of history. Coming in at #2, we’ve got C-Murder, Snoop Dogg and Mr. Magic from No Limit with Down 4 My N’s! You hear this song come on and you best believe there’s going to be trouble. Well, at least that’s what I’ve read. But I don’t doubt it…

  • So, this one got a lot of hype on Reddit. But I didn’t take the bait. Oh, no. I’ve had my fair share of hyped up movies, only to be met with disappointment. Therefore, I refused to watch the trailer. Heck, I hadn’t even realized until the start of the movie that Nicolas Cage was…

  • As someone who listens to music almost non-stop throughout the day, I thought it would be fun to highlight some of my favorite songs. While I’m not the most diverse listener out there, my choice of music does alternate anywhere between hip-hop/rap, rock, alternative, lounge/chill, electronic, synth wave, pop, country and songs from different languages…

  • I love Korean movies like the next person and part of that owes to the fact that the majority of them are pretty damn good. At least for me, it’s extremely rare to find myself quitting on a Korean movie once it has been selected for viewing. I can’t say the same for American movies.…

  • I absolutely love Hamilton watches. Quartz, mechanical or automatic, they make for awesome field watches. One of their most iconic dial is the Khaki Field Mechanical. I purchased the brown dial variant from Jomashop when I was still a bit green when it came to understanding watch measurements. As someone with a small and flat…

  • I was extremely saddened to have learned that WWE Legend Psycho Sid (Sid Eudy) has passed away on August 26th, 2024 at the age of just 64. It was only a coincidence that I learned of his passing. On about August 29th, for whatever reason I can’t recall, wanted to hear Psycho Sid’s entrance theme…

  • Here at The Mindless Catalog, I want to dedicate my first post to what led me to create this blog in the first place: retired NBA superstar, Carmelo Anthony. After a friendly debate with a good friend on who in the NBA, past or present, has the most beautiful jumper, I wanted to start my…
