Just watched is it as good the first one yes probably better than the first one especially cause of salma Hayek who had a small role in the first one gets more screen time in the sequel now to both jackson and Reynolds the chemistry between them is still there. Its madness destruction done for laughs and highly entertaining couple of hours

I can see why people like this movie, but I just couldn't enjoy it. I got the humour and the message, but it made me extremely cringy and uncomfortable the entire time, especially knowing the cause of Robin Williams's death.

Apart from this, it was an interesting aspect, taking into consideration how suicide affects other people, and how sometimes a lie can help people heal, because they can relate to somebody's pain. Is it worth though, creating this fake impression of a person nobody really knew, just to be able to deliver a message. And how selfless or selfish the intentions really were?

Movie Favorite

"I’ve got one more? Oh man, my newest favorite movie is This Is It, the Michael Jackson movie. ‘Cause I went into it and I was like, “Eh, whatever, it’s just another Michael thing”, but I didn’t think I’d be that impressed by it. I was just going to kill an afternoon, but it was so good. And I walked out going, “He was so good; he was murdered.” Because he didn’t seem incoherent at all. He was such a genius. He could hear things that no one else in the world could hear musically. That’s one of my latest favorite movies."

Just bad
Just really bad. I stayed watching cause the basic premise s interesting. I get that this is not a AAA, big budget title, but it just doesn't get anything right. It tries to be a B movie slasher pic, but "violence" mostly takes place off screen. The plot has giant gaping holes, such as why on earth is this skanky night club pick pocketer suddenly like MacGyver? Nothing any of the characters say is believable, both because of the things they say and because they are horrible actors. Nor is this movie so bad it's good, a la Sharknado. Life is too short to watch garbage like this.

I really loved this book. Some parts i did just skim through cause i wanted to see what happens at the end but that is kind of the reader i am. But over all a terrific book. Reading into the thought process of Kevin was very intriguing. If you've watch the movie before hand and then got into the book like i did, It is almost COMPLETELY different. Same on some concepts but different overall. Worth the read though.

"Well, that was another one I burned on my way. At first, I was into the earlier John Coltrane, and then when he went into more free jazz, at first I didn't like it as much because I was so into his early tone and the swing and the melody of this more classic jazz, but the next one's more like that. Jesse [Trbovich, bandmate in the Violators] turned me on to it. We got stuck on the way home from an LA show or somewhere, we got dumped off in Phoenix, Arizona, and we had to stay for the night. We knew a really good record store there, Revolver Records, there was just a ton of jazz. I was wanting to stock up so I got Interstellar Space as a recommendation. When I first listened, I was like, [shrugs] yeah, 'cause he's just freaking out, just him and a drummer, Rashied Ali, then I burned it anyway. Usually what happens is that it sounds so good 'cause it's burned from those original vinyls and then you crank it in your headphones and it just sounds unreal, so that's what happened with that one on the way to Joshua Tree. My mind was blown and it's just so open and such raw emotion and so psychedelic without any of the pretensions that 'psychedelic' eventually became - he's just the real thing. It's just wide open and sprawling. 'Lost My Head' for sure has that jazz influence... obviously it's a white man's, with limited skill. The convenience of the key of C, for instance - you play all those sevenths with the same formation all over the place, so that's why the piano's beautiful, but that's got the McCoy Tyner or whatever thing in it."

This is the second book by this author that I've read and they just keep getting better and better. This is a heart warming and heart breaking love story, that will have you hooked from the first page. This author has a fab way of writing that you will just fall in love with. The characters are so well written, you feel every emotion along with them. Be sure to have the tissues at the ready cause you will definitely need them. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

Josh Radnor recommended Happiness (1998) in Movies (curated)

Happiness (1998)
1998 | Comedy, Drama

"This is actually kind of a curve ball, ’cause I don’t generally like movies that are this dark, but I’m a huge fan of the Todd Solondz film Happiness. That movie’s so f**ked up, but it’s so… I actually really enjoy that movie. That movie is so deeply disturbing but there’s something exuberant and hilarious about it. The laughs are so uncomfortable. That movie just really works for me and I don’t generally like movies where the vision of humanity is that dark and unforgiving."
