Been binge watching bobs burgers in preparation for the movie tomorrow review up after the movie big fan of the show for years its dry humor the characters namely Bob played by H. Jon benjamin he has the right voice for the and he's one of my favourite characters I have twice cos played Bob at conventions. If I had to say who my second favourite character would be it has to be louise voiced by kristen schaal the youngest and the most devious of the three children. Anyway hope the movie lives up to the show

Grand Opening, Book Launch, and Murder
After months of work, Tess Harrow is ready to open her new bookstore and celebrate the launch of her latest bestselling thriller. However, her plans are changed when her mother, Bee, shows up unexpected. Trailing Bee is her latest boyfriend, Levi, who is a suspected serial killer preying on older women. Naturally, Tess doesn’t react well to that, but the next morning, Levi has been murdered. With as close to home as this hit, Tess can’t help but put her plans aside and start investigating. Can she figure out what happened?
Those who have read the first two books in the series will know what to expect here. We get a plot with some wackiness that fits this story and these characters perfectly. I did find some of the humor fell flat for me (might just be me), but I still laughed plenty. Yet the story comes together for a logical climax. The characters are all strong and entertaining as well. I did find a handful of political comments, which were superfluous to the story, threw me out of the story. The author does a good job of skirting spoilers for the previous books, which fans will know is a pretty big task. If you want a mystery filled with humor, you’ll be glad you picked this one up.

Ridiculous in the best way
This show is perfect for binge watching, the episodes are short and funny. The repetition of the plot both adds to the humor, and makes it a perfect show to watch while working on something else. Ted Danson and Kristen Bell play off one another extremely well, and the other supporting cast members fall into the world with a perfection I haven't witnessed since the Big Bang Theory. The jokes are basic and well placed resulting in a great experience all around.

Spidey is finally following the Marvel formula
If you're hoping for a perfect movie, brace yourself for disappointment.
If you want to see a Spider-Man movie as close to how it should be as possible, this should make you happy.
The movie was a blast. Good fun. Great cast.
My biggest complaint was the suit. It was a little too IronMan for my tastes.
The groundwork is set, Spider-Man is back home where he belongs...and little teases about the direction of the franchise are scattered throughout for the observant nerd.

Oh my gosh! I loved this book! I bought it on a whim based on a reccomendation & boy am I glad I took the chance. I have a very sarcastic sense of humor & I laughed through the entire book! I dont think I've ever been able to.do.that with an entire book before. I can't wait to rrad the next book.
I love the main character, Samuel. I teach & could see parts of plenty of my students in him. Believeable charactersvalways make a book so much better. Nurd is also hilarious...strange think to say about a demon from the Wasteland of Hell but it is true none the less.

Bookapotamus (289 KP) rated Angela's Ashes (Frank McCourt, #1) in Books
May 25, 2018
Angela's Ashes was an extremely heavy, tragic but touching memoir peppered with humor and emotion and love. Frank McCourt is a master at telling stories, but this memoir of his Irish Catholic family, spans so many subjects, so creatively and so beautifully - from family, to love, religion, sickness, abandonment, poverty... The hardship that immigrants had to go through is heartbreaking - as is their strength, and will to survive and make better lives for themselves. So much emotion after reading this. I don't know if this story will leave me for awhile. Definitely something for the mature reader, and definitely something that stays within you.
Lumos (380 KP) rated Joking Hazard in Tabletop Games
Apr 24, 2018
I have never laughed so hard at a simple card game. It is very similar to Cards Against Humanity, however in this game, you are playing to make the perfect punchline to a 3-frame comic strip. We played with four people and in about 2 hours, we played through all the cards available. I can see how playing with more people would make the game faster and also a bit repetitive. I'm sure with expansions, there will be more cards to play, however at this time, I'm not sure there is a lot of "re-playableness". Once you see the cards and how they interact, they lose their humor.
