Tabletop Game Rating

I LOVE this social deduction game. First, it gives the moderator an active and interesting role in the game. Second, every game is different. There are so many roles and combinations. The game comes with some helpful lists of roles and sets, but you can also make your own! Next, everyone has a role! No more being bored because you are a "vanilla villager." It can be played with anywhere between 5 to 20 people. Flexible, interesting, and SO so fun.

Jun 8, 2020

Rolling Stone's 189th greatest album of all time

Decent psychedelic rock. The first track is a 25-minute rendition of Bo Diddley's Who Do You Love, split into parts so that each band member gets a solo. This is fantastic at times, pretty self-centred and cringeworthy at others. There is then a cover of another Bo Diddley song, Mona (made famous by Craig McLachlan of Neighbours fame). A good listen, but maybe be ready to skip ahead 30 seconds now and then.

Rolling Stone's 401st greatest album of all time

I got this album for my 18th birthday and loved it at the time. I feared re-listening after all this time would ruin the memory of it (I regularly hear Scar Tissue and hate it now). This wasn't the case as I fell in love with it all over again. The first few tracks are incredible and while it loses its way somewhere after that it comes back for a strong finish.

Ending felt abrupt. (0 more)

I always love a good Bishop/SCU story.

** spoiler alert ** I was lucky enough to win a copy of this in a Goodreads giveaway!

I love, love, LOVE the Bishop/SCU books. The characters are so familiar to me, it feels like coming home each time I start a new story.

I found HOLD BACK THE DARK to be just as good as the previous installments, with one exception: the ending felt rushed. Once the team found the cave, it seemed like everything moved very quickly and then -boom- the story was over. What happened to the people who were forced by the energy to do horrible things? Does the woman who killed her family ever come out of the coma, horrified at what she's done? Does the real estate agent who killed his clients ever "snap out of it?" In addition, what about the team members who were not SCU or Haven? Do any of them decide to finally join?

While I was completely engrossed in the story from the very first page, I do wish the ending had been fleshed out a bit more. Won't stop me from continuing the series, though! :)

Movie Favorite

"Corky Romano. I love that film. Literally, that’s one of the only films I’ve pissed my pants at. Like, I actually pissed my pants. The first time I was in L.A. I was watching it on TV. The scene where he’s on coke…was literally the only thing that they advertised, it was like the only point of the whole movie! I love that character. I love how Chris Kattan just stripped his whole career in one movie. The only guy off Saturday Night Live who just messed it up! It’s like, what happened? The only guy. That’s why I think it’s so great. I also love the behind-the-scenes stuff on the DVD where none of the crew are laughing; the director’s [hiding] and he’s telling Chris Kattan, “Just do something funny, just make Chris Penn laugh,” and none of the crew think it’s funny at all. And you can tell Chris Kattan is just freaking out. Also, he had that vein, which I have [Pattinson points to his forehead] which pops out of his head. I can really relate to him."
