"I include this quirky novel in my list, because it is a satiric gem and one of the guiltiest of guilty pleasures. Terry Southern was a comic genius (Dr. Strangelove, Candy) who has never quite been given his due. The argument of The Magic Christian is a simple one, namely: There is no limit to what you can make people do, if you give them enough money. Everyone has his price. In this slim volume, Southern illustrates this point in a story that becomes increasingly outrageous and culminates in one of the most absurdly comic scenes in the American literary canon."

I loved the first 65-70% or so when Max was trying to make her want a relationship with him. I LOVED it! I was wanting to either knock some sense into a wounded Eden or push her out of the way and say, "Fall in love with me instead!"

Then we had that uncertain bit of Max needing the money and Eden wanting the promotion and me wanting to bang their heads together.

And then those last 5% or so. I was happy for them.

I'm definitely interested in continuing the series at some point in the future.

Watched this Netflix original last night. The storyline is pretty good, set in the near future where some people have various powers but are restricted by law to use them. A group decide to use their powers to make some easy money.
Very similar to @X2: X-Men United (2003) and elements of @Chappie (2015) @Chronicle (2012) it's ok and some good action scenes but would have been better with a bigger budget for more action scenes. It slows down a fair bit in the final 3rd.
