Movie Favorite

"What can I say about The Third Man that hasn’t already been said? This is the first film that made me look at movies in a new way. It made me fall in love with everything about them. You’ve got to hand it to Carol Reed for making a movie that is all about a character (Harry Lime, played by Orson Welles) who doesn’t even show up until three-quarters of the way in. The Anton Karas score remains one of the best ever for a film. I bought a zither just to learn to play Harry Lime’s theme. If I’m having a hard time getting into working, I often put The Third Man on in the background, as it always puts me in a mysterious and creative mood. The music is truly upbeat."

4.5 stars.

I'm ashamed to say that this is my first N.R. Walker. I need more of her work if they're all like this! (And the fact that in her author info bit she put that she likes it when "they do naughty things together...but she likes it even more when they fall in love.) My type of author!

I loved the setting. I seem to have quite a thing for cowboys! I loved how she went about writing their slow progression into a relationship. I loved how she evolved her characters.

I just need more Charlie and Travis full stop.

My only complaint was the editing. A slight thing, I know, but words were missing and some were added that weren't needed. Other than that I loved it :)

Podcast Rating

Wide range of topics,for example; serial killers, horrific old "treatments", terrifying "monsters" and loads more. (0 more)

Lore is the first podcast I listened to, my boyfriend got me into it and it's still my favourite. I ended up binge listening to it, and despite the fact that it had been released years prior to my starting to listen to it, I was soon waiting eagerly for new episodes to be released, as I had caught up.I am particularly interested in episodes about real life things like serial killers and old "treatments" but I also love episodes on paranormal/folk lore topics.Some episodes are actually terrifying one such episode is about dolls, I was listening to it late at night and had to turn it off until the next day.

This movie should have never been released, and it's the first film in a LONG time I've considered walking out of. It was so lame, and BORING. It was eye roll inducing the majority of the time. Lame lezzy love story and annoying teenage angst.
I've honestly only seen one thing Maisie Williams has been in, and that's Early Man. If she's actually that bad of an actress, she should definitely just stick to voice acting.
Anya Taylor-Joy was basically the one reason I saw this film, since she was Magick. At least her back story was a little more interesting to most.
The BEST part of the film was eye candy in the form of the hottie whose name is apparently Henry Zaga? Thanks for being nice to look at.

I just couldn't believe how completely boring and uninteresting the story line was; I would argue that even Josh Trank's Fantastic 4 train wreck was actually more entertaining.

Album Rating

Rolling Stone's 477th greatest "album" of all time

First off, since when was a 4-disc anthology considered an album?!
If there was a country version of the old "infinite monkeys with typewriters would eventually write Shakespeare" then I think I just listened to it. So many slightly different combinations of guitar and fiddle melodies, yet they never managed to recreate Jonny Cash.
Country really isn't my bag at all and I should never have listened to this.
Prior to this, my only knowledge of Merle Haggard was the Bloodhound Gang lyric "I was lonelier than Kunta Kinte at a Merle Haggard concert that night I strolled on into Uncle Limpy's Hump Palace lookin' for love", which I didn't understand until now. I wish it had stayed that way.
