An aptly-timed anthology amid political turmoil
It's a wonderful array of female voices from all walks of life, my criticism comes in the form of possibly too many perspectives from Scotland and not many other places. There were a few too many arts focused viewpoints with third person interviews, a little amateurish editing, and the compilation of women could be more finessed.

That being said - I'm over the moon about intersectional feminism being discussed. A joy to read and a bit of a relief. It's no Vagina Monologues, but's still fairly decent.

Mad Max in Space
A very decent Sci/Fi, thriller effort.....first time I can say that in a long time! A very good atmospheric film with plenty of action. Starts well the middle is patchy, but it picks up again towards the end. Good effects and set design, the overall feel of the film and the spaceship is quite creepy, good use of lighting etc. It's not the most original, it feels like a compilation of ideas from the best known Sci/Fi films. Overall a good effort that most should enjoy.

Basically, Star Wars 'what-if's'.

What if Lukes attack run on the original Death Star had failed?
What if Luke had frozen to death on Hoth?
What if the attempt to free the frozen-in-Carbonitite Han from Jabba the Hutt had failed?

And, most intriguingly, what had George Lucas's original vision looked like?

As in any compilation, some of these stories are better than others - it's also quite easy to spot the similarities between Lucas's original vision and the Prequel trilogy (most noticeably in how Leia is portrayed)!

Rolling Stone's 369th greatest album of all time
Good compilation of early Smiths classics, featuring the superb Panic, and a number of their other well-known songs - Ask, Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now, William It Was Really Nothing and Pleasex3 Let Me Get What I Want.
At times, Morrissey comes across as an annoying whiney child, and even looking at the song titles bears this out. I do wonder if he was breast-fed too long maybe.
Overall a great album if you can give him a little leeway with his whining.
