Wait, I said it would be tough to make a movie of it, and you said the movie was awful. How do I stand corrected?

So, how many points do you get for that?

This is a lot of sturm und drang for what is a sequel to possibly the single worst movie ever made (well, now there is Batman v Superman, so we'll talk).

I think it was a good move, but I think it was a bridge too far to show Uhura pegging Spock.

Think I'll throw in a couple of non-fiction listens I've done that were among the greatest listens I've ever experienced. Doing Tom Wolfe's The Right Stuff back to back with Andy Chaikin's A Man on the Moon is a fantastic experience. The both read like novels, but they are exhaustive non-fiction accounts of the

Aside from Locke & Key, I've yet to try Joe Hill. I have Heart Shaped Box and one of his others, but I've not yet put them on. I know I'm going to like them based on what others say and how much I loved Locke & Key, but I've really slowed down my reading. As I started listening to more and more podcasts, there went

Two others deserve special mention: Gerald's Game read by Lindsay Crouse, which is just wow. And then there is Insomnia, which is read by Eli Wallach. That's a double dose, because the book is one of King's finest ever, and Eli Wallach is Eli Fucking Wallach. To listen to him narrate for 25 hours was a real treat.

The King audio books are almost always excellent. He's an enthusiast for the medium, so I don't know if that's got anything to do with why they usually have top notch narrators and production values. CELL is read by Campbell Scott. I didn't read it, only listened to the unabridged audio version, but it is excellent.

The book is actually quite good. The audio version read by Campbell Scott is excellent. It's not lesser King at all, and I'd highly recommend it.

Sounds like Toy Story 4.

I've not seen most of the referenced Gibney films, but that the one I have seen, GOING CLEAR, was excellent really undermines this review's central thesis.

When you look like Jabba the Hut, you gotta take steps. But I'm baffled that Ailes has never heard of prostitutes.

If the only thing one knew about you was this comment, I think you'd be judged a psychopath.

I've not read the comic, so I'm guessing here. I think Preacher's hubris destroying a small town is exactly where we are heading. I don't hold out hope for any of the citizens of Annville.

He would have been great as Jamie Lannister.

Sure, I get it. Ultimately I'm in a no win situation. I want to watch because I'd like to see where it goes, and because I found the first 3 seasons to be very enjoyable. I also liked some of the fourth season, in particular the story of Arya and the Hound, which is a real favorite. But I'm also kind of poisoned by

They also want them to pay an additional $8.50 for a small diet soda.

Good show, Master Lockeout! Good show!

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Michael Caine is not a bigger box office draw than Scarlett Johansson. Why, It's almost like reductive lists are pointless.
