I love marvel but have not committed to watching them all yet, what better time to do this than in lockdown?

Decided to go for the chronological order with this being my second one. I love the plot mentions to other films and the clever way they have fit it into the universe. The makeup and space parts of the film are great.

Also Jude Law....... 😍

I felt the concept of her regaining her memory could have been better explained and a longer process. Although I understand why it isn't. I found either the scripting or the acting for Brie Larsson to be quite false and the humourous/sassy sections forced. I was fully up for Captain Marvel being my next female icon but she didnt hit the mark (sorry).

Ian Anderson recommended Over-Nite Sensation by Frank Zappa in Music (curated)

Album Favorite

"This was my album of 1974, although it came out in 1973. I guess I was always catching up with Frank Zappa. The first album by him that I bought was Hot Rats, and I found that a rather irritating album of not very evolved guitar playing. Frank was a bit of a one-trick pony as a guitarist, but as a musician, arranger and bandleader of the traditional sort, he was at the top of the tree, although he wasn’t unique as a bandleader. There were by then other bandleaders in rock, blues and soul groups like BB King, James Brown and in England John Mayall. In America, Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart were bandleaders of an apparently tough-cookie nature, although everyone who worked with Frank seems to have revered him as a musician and a person."

Book Rating
I'll be honest with you. The Morganville Vampires series has never been my favourite but the author has a way of writing that draws you in and you can devour the book in a matter of hours if you have no distractions. They have a fluidity and ease to them that means you can read it so easily.

Being book 13, this has been my favourite so far and therefore it's getting 5 stars!

A more sane Myrnin(who I love btw),<spoiler>and a kiss between him and Claire! A small one, but still a kiss!</spoiler>, a Captain Obvious that can actually kick-butt and more trouble between the humans and the vampires. What more could we ask for?

The last hundred pages or so are always edge of your seat stuff, too :D

Lacks Sid Haig's Presence
Contains spoilers, click to show
So 14 years after the devil's rejects the firefly family return.A brief recap of the ending of the devils rejects starts the movie and its aftermath.Then once the principal characters finally escape jail they go on another killing spree which eventually leads to a shootout in a little mexican town against a gangster with a grudge against one of the clan

This film is easily the weakest in the series.It lacks the cutting presence of sid haig as captain spaulding (only appears in the opening 10 minutes of the movie) as he was sadly ill during the making of the film and has since passed away.

If you have seen the first two films then this is worth checking out but its instantly forgettable.
