I knew I'd seen the original Zombieland movie.

Probably about 5, 6 years ago or so (roughly 4 years after it was released).

I also don't really remember all that much about it, other than - as the name gives away! - it's a comedy horror, and *that* cameo.

As such, I wondered whether or not I would be able to follow this one, or if it required knowledge of said earlier film.

While that may help, it doesn't really need that knowledge - I'm sure there's a few in-jokes and references (do a 'Bill Murray') that you won't get without it, but all in all you could probably watch this on its own.

This is set roughly 10 years or so after the earlier flick, and starts with Tallahasee, Columbus, Wichita and Little Rock now all settled down in their new home (The White House). However, events soon see them all back on the road again - hence the subtitle I've occasionally seen ('Road trip'), encountering new breeds of Zombies and some very familiar characters.

'tis an OK film: not one I'd be in any hurry to (re)watch, but nor is it the worst I've ever seen.

Hands Down best navigation app
This application has saved me from many a speeding tickets. The interaction between users to alert others of slow traffic, speed traps, police, and even potholes in the road is quite ingenious.

Compared to the stock map on my phone, Waze wins hands down. There is never a lag in communication and it gives proper directions ahead of time before it's time to make that immediate turn <--this is so important to directionally challenged people such as myself.

Unputdownable!!
I read this in one sitting: I was a captive audience, stuck on a train for a 6 hour journey. Honestly though, I would have found it very hard to drag myself away from it if I'd read it at home as well. It's such a rollercoaster of a story and i wouldn't be at all surprised if it's optioned for a movie (is it yet?). It's probably mainly about 'the road not taken', and how we make life choices that we then feel stuck with. But what a way to do it!

Very surprisingly I quite enjoyed this?! Yes it's very cheesy, what did you expect? I'm sure most people have panned this just because Britney is in it? It has a TV film feel to it but it's actually a pretty decent road trip film as a group of once close young friends head to L.A. together for different reasons. I thought Britney acted a lot better than I expected and it isn't overloaded with her songs for those who aren't fans of hers. It's not a bad film by any means.
  
Trixie's counsin is in town for a visit, but Trixie is distracted by the wheelchair that appears and disappears along Glen Road. Meanwhile, a woman no one knows is trying to get invited to the wedding of Jim's cousin. While one sub-plot falls flat, I enjoy this great mystery that uses all the characters well and actually keeps them in character. A great start to the second half of the series.

The nostalgia is real
This game has come a long way since its release. With the recent pvp features and trading added, and cooperative raiding, there's a lot to occupy your time. I played the first four generations of games, and in Go, I've been building my collection for years now. I'm pretty excited to try the tournaments being organized through silph road. I play enough to keep my steaks going, but I have met many members of my local community that play constantly. One day, I'll catch them all!
