BobbiesDustyPages (1259 KP) rated Breaking Bad in TV

As addictive as a drug
Breaking Bad is one of those shows that from the first episode I was pulled right in and up until the last episode, it never let me go. The show has some of the realist characters I've ever come across they are all so flawed and damaged and it really pushed this show above the rest.
Also the most messed up part is just how plausible the show really is in the US when it comes to health care.

Yoshi (40 KP) rated Traveling Wilburys, Vol. 1 by The Traveling Wilburys in Music
May 30, 2018
Let me tell you a story: In my old Buick Regal, lovingly dubbed the SS POS, I had no working CD player, only a tape deck. Being sometime after 2012, I only had one decent tape to my name - The Traveling Wilburys Vol 1, and you bet I played the sh*t out of that thing. You will not find a better supergroup out there. Each member is great in their own right, but together they're something awfully special.

Let the right ones in
In this party game of abstracted espionage, you have the task of using clue words to have teammates figure out who they should let in and who they should keep out. There is a 5×5 grid of "codenames" that are on the table. Common words like fish, key or skipping. As the speaker for your team, you know which codenames are meant for your team and which are for the other team by using a grid representation only the two team speakers could see. 8 of the codename agents are for your team and 8 for the other (the grid also has a color around it which adds an additional agent for one team but then they get the privilege of going first). There are also 8 neutral citizens that end the turn if chosen. Then there is the dark agent. If he is chosen by the team, that team loses. Once each turn the speaker will give a one word clue (something that correlates with one or more codename cards) followed by a number (how many codename cards it correlates to). Your team has to pick at least one card on the table from the clue. Get it right and they get to choose again (one number more than the number you gave after the clue is the amount of guesses they can get a turn) or choose not to push their luck and stop. Get it wrong and that might let an agent for the other team in, a citizen or worst of all the dark agent that loses the game. This keeps going until a team successfully gets all their codename agents in. A great party game for unlimited amounts of people breaking into two teams. Laughs and accusations fly. Maybe the best party game in years and available in many forms that keep growing (basic, adult words, Disney, pictures only, marvel...etc)

David McK (3425 KP) rated Thuvia, Maid of Mars (Barsoom, #4) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
The fourth of Edgar Rice Burrough's <i>Barsoom</i> series that began with <i>A Princess of Mars</i>, this is actually the first book in the series that does not centre on the main protaganist of the first three novels (John Carter), as well as being the first story to be told in the third rather than first person.
As a consequence, I actually found this particular one to be a bit of a let-down from the previous, even if it does follow the same plot arc of those earlier stories (right down to yet another mysterious undiscovered race!).

I'll admit that in this one my love of their relationship started to take second place to what was being revealed in this with Jahl, and what needed to happen. I still LOVE their relationship--mainly because they don't treat her like she's right all the time or have sex all the time or just let her get away with stupid stuff--but my attention was caught by where the last book is going to end up going and I hope like hell--pun intended--that they survive what's going to go down.

Some damn fine use of a concrete saw
So let me get this straight...
Contains spoilers, click to show
So. Right odf the hop. I must say I appreciate a French movie that splices in some English from it's actors. Good on ya.
This movie kicks off about 15 or so minutes in.... With some desecration of a severed head... And an immediate beheading....
From there on out its brutality and fine special effects that take over. A beautifully placed twist near the end provides an unexpected, at least to me, WHAT THE FUCK moment.
All in all this is a must watch for all foreign horror fans... Its right up there woth fellow French films Martyrs and Inside.... As well as Korea's I Saw The Devil.

Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated Storm and Fury (The Harbinger, #1) in Books

I received a copy of Storm and Fury from Netgalley and Harlequin Teen in exchange for an honest review.
Sexy shapeshifting gargoyle boys! Count me in!
I was initially confused because this one jumps right into the story. Turns out it's a spin-off, so that explains a lot.
It started of a little slow but once the action starts it doesn't really let up.
I really liked Trinity. She could have easily been an obnoxious Chosen One type but the book managed to avoid that.
Also Trinity is disabled which I appreciate so much as a disabled woman. Every bit of representation matters and I love the matter of fact way a degenerative disease is s dealt with.
