Smashbomb (4687 KP) created a post in Smashbomb Council

Mar 18, 2020  
Hey Influencers!

I think we're all very aware of the current situation with Coronavirus and how it's going to have a huge effect on people's social lives. So I was thinking - can we all come up with some of the best items in any/every category for everyone to watch/read/play if we are all stuck inside?

It would be a great way to get people talking - and what's better to talk about than a good book or movie!

If anyone has any other ideas or suggestions please feel free to drop a comment below!

Books to read with your kids (various ages, eg 3-5, 5-7, 7-9, etc), Books to cheer you up, I’m reluctant to say apocalyptic/ dystopian books, because I don’t think we need it, to be honest! But we could make them, and people have the choice to look and not look 🤷🏼‍♀️
Books that are up for release - loads of authors are having to postpone book tours because of this, so some need all the help they can get, especially first time authors.

I think this is a great idea. Is there a way that we partners can help?

@Night Reader Reviews At the minute, with the influencers, we're coming up with lists of items for different groups of people in isolation such as families, couples, individuals, etc. So if you can think of anything to add to those lists that would be great - or even to come up with some new ideas on how we can get people talking! :)

I thought this film was fine. It had its moments of funny. It was a little predictable, but I feel like with these movies it always is. I do think that Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell are good together. I found Dusty to be annoying, but I guess that was kind of the point. I am going to watch the second one because I want to know what happens - whatever that's worth.

I didn't like that they kept implying Brad was racist. I just don't find those jokes funny and I'm surprised they tried to land so many.

I feel like this movie was unapologetically thrashed by critics for things that it wasn't responsible for. That's not to say that the movie didn't have it's own issues, as all films do. But the vile hatred that it received for stories told decades ago was unwarranted and frankly disappointing.

Truthfully, there is enough going on in this movie that can be faulted that it didn't need to have old news rehashed (I'm talking to you weird Palpatine). But again, as a stand alone film it was quite good. And as the finale to the Skywalker saga, it did it's job.

Movie Favorite

"I just thought the tone and the feel of that movie — the way it sort of characterized small people in such small ways — it gave you so much information about them. It was so brilliantly done. As well as the struggle and the performance from the characters was incredible. Marion Cotillard, I thought, was robbed from an Academy Award. I thought she was just amazing in that. The story was so different and interesting. I just thought everything about it was really good. It just tapped into every single emotion that you had, went through the whole wheelhouse. I just loved it."

"Probably my absolute favourite. It's very influenced by American Graffiti - It's all in one day, it's the end of school, you've got all the teen cliques – but it's not a standard Hollywood feel good-fest, it's tough and quite sharp. You've got those first experiences of drugs and sex and fights and drinking, all to that great soundtrack. And I love all the stoner stuff, it's just really funny. Again, it's that extraordinary seventies American super liberal moment, which is a completely lost age. It recaptures that: 'Lets all hang out. Politics is over, disco is just around the corner."

Album Favorite

"It’s one of the most influential records ever, on me. I’ve talked about it many times. I always feel duty bound to ram it home, what an amazing achievement to get so much Marxist anger into an album, which is actually really delicately played. People always accuse them of being Smiths copyists but it’s much faster, stuff like ‘Antinature’ and ‘The Well Of Loneliness,’ ‘An MP Speaks’, it’s a seamless album that can grind you into submission, like all good communists should. Brilliant cover as well. Of all my records this is definitely my most played piece of vinyl."
