Zarek was a big mystery to me after the last book and I wanted to see what type of woman would get through to him. And lo and behold, it was Astrid! I loved delving into his history and seeing his inner thoughts. He wasn't the completely grumpy loner that he came across as, he was actually a really lonely guy that didn't feel like he was wanted or liked by anyone after a painful past. I so felt for him. And so did Astrid, who managed to melt his hard exterior to see the soft, gentle guy beneath.

There are still a lot of unanswered questions in regards to Acheron, he seems to be some sort of demi-god/Atlantean/god killer hybrid that scares even Artemis. Cannot wait to read his story.

Slaxx is one of those horrors that is a pretty fun one off watch.

It's so so silly, but is admirably and solidly executed. The practical effects of the killer jeans are a blast and really make the whole movie enjoyable. It has a decent amount of gore, and a pretty good cast. Final girl Romane Denis plays a down to earth and likable protagonist and I can appreciate the movies' attempts to poke fun at YouTube culture.
The narrative is standard slasher style, but it does have some sort of ethical message buried in there somewhere, although it's a bit too half arsed to make an impact.

Overall, Slaxx is a fun time, and is wonderfully bizzare. I predict it will have a cult following before long!

Album Favorite

"This was the mid-’80s, around the time PiL made Album. On that record, I was referring to the heavy metal scene, which had crawled up its own backside. It was endless bands imitating each other, the same nonsense that punk turned into. But great achievements were made in music around then too. Everything from madder folk outfits and pop music itself was becoming very interesting then. I was always pleasantly surprised that oddball stuff would creep in the charts from nowhere. Someone like Gary Numan gave pop music a very distinctive and clear tone that was all his own. “At this stage, I would have been buying everything that was being made, but Alice Cooper’s Killer never left me. That easy way of growling he had was always impressive."

Candy Says by The Velvet Underground

(0 Ratings)

Track

"By 1972, I’ve finished up in art schools, hitchhiked around the country, and I moved to Providence, Rhode Island. In the mid-’70s, I was in a band with Chris Frantz from Talking Heads, and I wrote a couple songs that stuck during that period, including “Psycho Killer.” We also did a lot of cover songs—Al Green, Velvet Underground, the Sonics, the Troggs. The Velvet Underground were a big revelation. I realized, Oh, look at the subject of their songs: There’s a tune and a melody, but the sound is either completely abrasive or really pretty. They swing from one extreme to the other. “White Light/White Heat” is just this noise, and then “Candy Says” is incredibly pretty but really kind of dark. As a young person, you go, What is this about?"
