"You gotta read Easter Parade. It basically starts off saying here are these two characters and their lives are miserable and I’m going to tell you why. It’s uncompromising. He’s not interested in entertaining you at all. He’s just trying to get at it."

Mainly aimed at the teenage market not for someone in their mid fifties, but it is quite funny in places and of course the girl gets the boy at the end. Good film to watch on a miserable afternoon but will be forgotten about in a few days so not memorable.

Rolling Stone's 416th greatest album of all time
This was a real struggle. A dreary load of songs. Waits' voice just makes me want to clear my throat and cough. Lucky I wasn't listening to this while out on a walk, everyone would have been given me a wide steer!
Really slow plodding miserable songs.

"I remember being on a frigid Canadian ski trip with my family and going to dinner at a rollicking fondue restaurant that had Michael Ritchie’s great-looking 1969 Robert Redford vehicle, Downhill Racer, showing silently on an endless loop. We must have eaten there a couple of times because I remember this flick much more than the miserable week spent skiing icy Mont-Tremblant."

Grumpy Cat's All About Miserable Me:A Doodle Journal for Everything Awful by Jimi Bonogofsky-Gronseth is a fun little book. It is a book where people get to engage by making their own doodles to the story. This book is very interactive.

I received an advance reader edition of this book from Dover Publications via NetGalley for the purpose of providing an honest review.

Robin Hood (2018) updates the legend to The Fast & The Feudal #Review
Unnecessary? Yes. Historically inaccurate? Ridiculously so. Fun? Absolutely, you miserable bunch. 2018’s “Robin Hood” sets out to put a modern #OccupySherwood spin on the age-old tale of the redistribution of medieval wealth and taken on its own bonkers terms, there’s a lot of fun to have with this bombastic fast and feudal’ adventure yarn....
