The Stand
By: Stephen King
I finally finished my reread of The Stand this weekend and overall I’m glad I did. I’d still give it 5 stars for its sheer scope (even if it could still use some editing) and also because I’m older now I felt like I understood it on a different level and enjoyed picking up on some of the ways the stand has influenced modern works.
But seriously the most fascinating thing I learned concerned Marvel!
If we weren’t currently living in the twilight zone at the time this is published I should have been sitting in a movie theater finally, finally watching the Black Widow movie… and wondering how long until they break Russian Daddy Hopper out of prison already.
Natasha Romanoff has been an important part of the MCU over the years and the movie is long over due but until then I thought I’d compile her Best Moments!
A lot of people have been talking recently about what movie-going is going to look like as we open back up as it’s something I did frequently it’s a subject that really interests me. What will it look like going forward?
And will people even go to a crowded theater until a vaccine is available?
Bad Education
Directed By: Corey Finley
I generally always find Hugh Jackman and Allison Janney wildly likable often even when I’m not supposed to so it’s a real mark of their performances (and the truth of the story) that they were pretty damned vile here.
House of Salt and Sorrow
By: Erin A. Craig
Once there were 12 sisters living by the sea now after a series of increasingly tragic (and random) deaths there are only 8 left. 8 sisters who after years being shrouded in grief chase a myth through a hidden door that can apparently take them anywhere they want to go.
And life, at least at night, becomes an endless dance.
So I was a bit worried I had jumped the gun on the new Looney Tunes trailer and wouldn’t have anything to talk about looking forward to this week but actually there’s some good ones!
I’m generally using lockdown time to work my way through my backlist books so I thought I’d recommend some great fun reads that I think are wildly under hyped for everyone to, hopefully, enjoy!
Well I guess I’ll just do the bummer news first… Venom II got moved to next June.
The Book of Ralph
By: Christopher Steinsvold
One day after an eclipse the words Drink Diet Coke appear on the moon. So begins The Book of Ralph and me crossing off by far the oldest unread ARC I had on my list.
Though no offense to those who love it but I wouldn’t drink Diet Coke even if the moon told me to.
Well we’ve marked another week and in trying to look at the bright side we did get some fun things to look forward to this week.
Let’s come back to Belle’s new book and talk about the gift Vanity Fair gave me this week.
