Carlton Drake
Humour
It was really good. It is unfair and REALLY unclear as to how it can possibly be compared to Catwoman and the 2015 Fantastic 4. It was so much better than the critics give it. I would say, though, it's not the best comic book movie. It's more on the Ant-Man level of quality. The way Tom Hardy showed the Eddie Brock/Venom relationship was really good. Michelle Williams' Anne Wenning, Eddie's ex girlfriend, was kind of bland but was still a good character. Riz Ahmed's Carlton Drake was a REALLY good villain. They really played up the you-must-hate-him vibe. Apart from those three, the other characters were meh at the most, and wasted in ways. The humour was good and well placed. I DEFINITELY recommend seeing this. Forget what the critics say.

Captain Disaster is the hapless hero of a series of computer games by the author and his (mis)adventures are ripe for some rib tickling short stories.
This book is a collection of these tales, with only the most tenuous connection between them. The author is clearly heavily influenced by Douglas Adams, but although Seaman doesn't match Adams in terms of with his writing or humour, that is not a criticism as he was unique. Instead Captain Disaster has his own voice - aspiring to Adams certainly but with a good mix of silly jokes, slapstick and toilet humour.
Not everything flies but enough works that this is a fun and entertaining read. This is only supposed to be a very lighthearted, knock-about science fiction spoof after all. If you need a smile putting on your face, as well as a few groans being elicited, this is just what you need.

Pretty good
I've been waiting forever to watch this film, but it's not as I expected, so many people die so quick and there was alot of humour in throughout too.
Standard film a bunch of rich folk hunting down your average everyday person, but each person has badmouthed the rich and so they make what's being said about them a reality, fair is fair. The film concentrates and is mainly about one person, Betty Gilpin. She gives most the humour I found her character hilarious there was just no facial expression no matter the situation she was just badass 😎. The film is definitely worth the watch but as per usual like most films the ending annoyed me the film was good the final scene was good but I am one of the people I want to see what happened next but that's never the way.

Great animation (2 more)
The short story before the film is technically amazing
Good fun and humour for all ages
Fish this one out
It's been an age since Finding Nemo, so it's great to see some of the characters again. The detail in the animation is great. It has some funny new characters especially the Octopus. If you like the original, who doesn't? You'll like this.

Swiss Army Man
Okay, so once you get past the rather strange and kind of unexpected beginning, you begin to fall in love with the characters and the songs they come up with. This wasn't really my type of movie but I loved it so much!!

One of my all time favourites
I first read this book about 30 years ago and it had a lasting impression on teenage me! I loved the ‘out there’ sense of humour and hadn’t read anything like it before. I have read it since as an adult and I still loved it. I love the fact that it manages to pick up so many different aspects of the human persona.

Not my favourite superhero action flick
Is it blasphemy to say I didn't think this was a great film? Sometimes the humour seemed to be laid on too thick. And the misogyny just pissed me off. I can never take Ryan Reynolds seriously, he seems to always have the same kind of cocky character in most films. The best part was the subtle jibes against the X-Men universe.
Ruth Frampton (577 KP) rated Striking The Balance (Pico Bogue, #4) in Books
Apr 10, 2018
humour can be subjective, what one person finds amusing another with find side-splittingly hilarious, some of the exchanges between the siblings Pico and Anna are amusing, others I can see they are meant to be but can't find the giggle inside. The illustrations are okay but colourful, the style is somewhat an acquired taste. Overall, I enjoyed the read but would be unlikely to reread in the future.

A clever sci-fi
good dark sci fi film with the right amount of tension and some strange moments. Well worth a watch as its a cross between Event Horizon and Alien which in itself is a strange concept. A lot of Internationally talented actors make up the cast and as usual there is one character that steals what bit of humour there is.
