Suswatibasu (1701 KP) rated Norse Mythology in Books

Fabulous retelling of Norse mythology
Neil Gaiman is a genius and his version of Norse mythology is riveting and exciting. It seems to be an important part of our modern culture again so it is only natural that Gaiman brings it back to the forefront. Epic and interesting.

Another Cosmere world, another unusual magic system. I think this was about the right length for an interesting foray into Eastern culture and mysticalising (not a word) ancient artworks and skills.
A really enjoyable short read, though I don't see it contributing more to the Cosmere as a whole.

Andrew Koltuniuk (759 KP) rated The Substance of Style in Books
Jul 3, 2020
The Substance of Style is a fantastic look at how aesthetics and style has changed and shifted out culture in the past century. It's a wonderful and in-depth look at just how much our current civilization relies on it. A truly great book to read and very insightful.
Movie Critics (823 KP) rated The Bad Batch (2016) in Movies
May 25, 2017
Keanu Reeves, outfitted to resemble a disco era porn star, delivers a mid-movie monologue about the bad batch being the not good enough, not smart enough flotsam no one wants.

BookCritics (259 KP) rated The Confusion Of Languages in Books
Jun 8, 2017
One of my favourite things in The Confusion of Languages were the vivid descriptions of life in Jordan for the locals, their societal norms and values and the culture in general.

Movie Critics (823 KP) rated Annabelle: Creation (2017) in Movies
Jun 23, 2017
“Annabelle: Creation” follows a formula, yet does so with fearsome flair. Put expectations on “popcorn” and its domino line of expertly crafted illusions culminates in a crash of devilishly crowd-pleasing shrieks.

Rafael De Cardenas recommended Delirious New York: A Retroactive Manifesto for Manhattan in Books (curated)
I stumbled upon this book in my college library years ago; this narrative/ethnography of shamanic culture juxtaposed with our modern society's obsession with being "woke" gave me a new perspective on MANY things, and even caused me to switch my major to Anthropology so I could keep reading this stuff.
