If you want to read this for Dare the Dom then I'm sorry your going to be disappointed, there isn't a dominating bone in his body. Saying that if you like M/M or M/F/M then this is maybe for you. I enjoyed the love triangle aspect and it appears you can have your cake and eat it. But what let this book down big time was Helen the stepdaughter. No, just No!

This is a completed comedy podcast, so you can binge all of them. I can only think of one or two guests that I didn't particularly like, which is a pretty good percentage for over 60 episodes. So long as you don't take your dead white men too seriously, you'll love this. (There are occassionally women and POC, but not many.)

One of Douglas Adams best
So I will admit that Douglas Adams work can take getting used to but if you like his style of confusing then you will love this. The trilogy in 5 parts is the general term for it, and it describes the fantastical world held with in these pages brilliantly

Anti Love Song by Betty Davis

(0 Ratings)

Track

"If you're one of those people who's a little on the shy side, but you want someone to know you're not a prude, a Betty Davis record can explain that for you. In "Anti Love Song" she's trying to deny her most primal urges for a man she knows she shouldn't love, and through it she's just moaning and groaning. There's a pain there behind her sexiness. It's like there's a claw coming out of her mouth."

Armie Hammer recommended Fight Club (1999) in Movies (curated)

 
Fight Club (1999)
Fight Club (1999)
1999 | Thriller

"Fight Club came into my life when I was an angsty teenager who wanted to burn down the entire world, much like the movie, and I was just like, “Yeah, you f—ing get ’em.” It just so perfectly captured every bit of teenage or young adult angst that I felt. It also is so funny. Like, I watch that movie and I just howl with laughter, it’s just so sardonic and funny, and also weirdly romantic. It’s a wonderful love story, too. I mean, obviously it’s a love story between two very dysfunctional people, but who’s not dysfunctional in their own ways? I think the writing is brilliant, I think that the cinematography is incredible, I think that David Fincher absolutely knocked that one out of the park. It’s a movie that I can watch over and over, and every time I catch a new line, or I catch a new shot, and I’m like, “Oh, wow. I never noticed that’s how they did that before, and that’s such a brilliant way to do that.” Yeah, I just think that it perfectly captures every single feeling of frustration and rage that anyone might be feeling at any moment."

Okay, I really wanted to love this book. Who wouldn't love a book that tells you that you're a badass in the title? Obviously, this girl didn't.

Now, I'm not saying that this book was awful but I'm not going to say that it was glorious and wonderful. The advice in here is good advice but it's nothing different than your stereotypical self help book.

Advice includes: Love yourself, send positive vibes to the universe, believe in yourself (now you really don't need to read the book).

Honestly, I was hoping that this book would help me in some way and I do know various people that this book could truly help but I was not one of those people. I did not get any epiphany moments except for the Blah Blah would love this part, and So and So would like this part.

Ultimately, I'm not a huge fan but it does have some good advice in a semi-sarcastic way.

Would you believe that with how much I love the first one, I love this one even more? I love the competition aspect and the whole plot in general. I LOVE the ending, I think that's one of the strongest parts of this film. Genuinely, I just love this film overall. I don't know what more I can say. It's definitely one of the best feel-good films to be made and just like the first one, I will continue to watch it over and over again well into my old age.
  
The Godfather: Part II  (1974)
The Godfather: Part II (1974)
1974 | Crime, Drama

"I have to say Godfather Part II, because the thing I love about Godfather Part II is Godfather Part I was one incredible story filled with incredible performances, deep psychological examinations of what it’s like to be in that position of authority, and the struggle with that and the conflict of all the stuff we see with most good gangster films, really. You get that in one story in The Godfather Part I. I think in The Godfather Part II, there’s two stories like that. That’s what I love the most about it. It’s two wonderful gangster movies in one, and the richness of that, the way that they flip between those two stories, is something very, very special. It’s like two amazing movies in one movie. It would’ve been Godfather I, but the fact that Godfather II is two great movies in one movie just means it’s an embarrassment of riches. It’s just one of the greatest films of all time."
