Book Favorite

"A brilliantly robust science-fantasy tale, featuring a scarred, directionless Vietnam war veteran who answers a newspaper ad (remember those?) asking simply “Are you a coward?”. A rambunctious swashbuckling adventure where magic and science are blurred. Also, the story that sent me off to find a gym."

"Few films are more important to us. Our Parisian cinephilic father gifted us this movie (not yet part of the Criterion Collection) as part of the mirror effect he bestowed upon us. Find answers in movies . . . This is another Criterion that can be watched hundreds of times."

Very strange series in a good way
A good series with a well known cast. If you like Stephen King stories you'll probably like this. It does end up asking more questions than giving answers though.

A film that asks more questions than it answers
Consider this more a 'chiller' than a horror. A story of desperation, conflict and the weight of decision making.
  
Ooh, this series! It intrigues and annoys me in equal measures. You're just getting to an intriguing part and it ends! I bet it was her, you know!

I am still very much Team Kai and hope we get some answers in the third book in the series

The videography
I loved this film. It was bizarre, it was filled with suspense and hit a little close to home in a few places (global warming) I love that it really messes with your head and you don't get the answers that you seek! Brilliant film- definitely recommend :)

While not one of my favorite in the Marvel world, totally worth seeing in the theatre. Spent so much time on the verge of tears during this movie, only to have it end with a 'what the hell just happened?!' moment, leaving me with more questions than answers.
