Rolling Stone's 391st greatest album of all time
Good soft rock / light blues songs ranging from his typical Eagles-like style to ore country songs and even some mariachi hints. An interesting listen.

Basically flawless!
Contains spoilers, click to show
While at first I was dubious after the teaser trailers showing what appeared to be more classic horror creatures, they pulled it off perfectly!

The gameplay, while mostly unchanged in style from RE7, is still superb fun, and gives us a slightly more open-world to explore compared to the previous Ethan Winters adventure, as well as a more traditional gothic feel.

The various characters and bosses are all very different and for the most part original, each having their own look, combat style and personality.

My only criticism is not with the game itself, but with advertising. Most people will have noticed that Lady Dimitrescu, the pale, 9ft tall queen of RE memes features more than almost anybody in posters. The thing is, she has a surprisingly small part in the game. Advertising would have you believe she is the main antagonist of the game, where in fact she is in fact the very first main boss. That is as much as I will tell you in that regard!

Altogether, an outstanding game!

A trilling tale to get your teeth into
A brilliant tale made up of the letters and diaries of the main cast. A must read for all goths and vampire lovers

It's a good movie, Tim Burton's style completely, but the bad thing about versioning a classic is that the fans have expectations, those were not fulfilled.
  
A lovely cookbook! Two of my favorite things in one place :c)

Simple recipes, not a lot of foo-foo cooking...homey and seasonal...with absolutely beautiful imagery!

In true Beatrice Ojakangas style...wonderful!
  
This was a sweet story!

I enjoyed this clean, girl next door, high school sweethearts type story. It is my first time reading a book by Delaney Cameron, and I liked her writing style

Love bilbo
Massive battle, hardly know anything that happened (1 more)
About 20+ characters I couldn't keep track of
Not my kinda thing
I read due to the hype, probably shouldn't have.
Don't get me wrong I loved the writing style and songs throughout and if course bilbo.
But sooo many characters, then there's this battle but you just get a quick briefing of it. Didn't care for any other characters either. Though I felt sorry for the ponies.

Tracee Ellis Ross recommended Sabrina (1954) in Movies (curated)

 
Sabrina (1954)
Sabrina (1954)
1954 | Comedy, Drama, Romance

"We will switch gears completely, and I will say the original Sabrina with Audrey Hepburn, which really influenced my style. Just driving up with her trunks of luggage on the back of the car… it was just such a beautiful film. The clothing, I just was like, whoa. The elegance of it, the time period, the black-and-whiteness of it, the cast. It’s just one of those classic films that kind of etched a place in my aesthetics of style and elegance."
