Storyline

I normally keep my distance from books that get a lot of hype because, let's be honest, they don't usually deserve it. Even though this book kept popping up all over my feed, the synopsis intrigued me enough to give it a chance.

It's been a while since I've flown through a book. Idk why, but lately it takes me weeks, even if I am enjoying it. The documentary format of this book was original and kept me drawn in. It was like binge watching a docuseries on Netflix. I can't wait to see how the show will come to life and look forward to actually hearing the songs.

If you are looking for your next read, I would definitely recommend Daisy Jones & the Six.

Minimal crystal collection

Fun mobile game.

I have played this game for over 3 years, so it clearly keeps you engaged and coming back for more. The game play is very good and it really brings a lot of Marvel characters to life and not just the more famous characters. The game does a really good job of keeping up with all the Marvel TV shows/films/comics, with the updates to characters, uniforms and storylines.

The only major downfall to the game is over the years that have hidden more and more characters behind paywalls and unless you are a very patient player the collection of crystals can be a grind.

All in all though this is probably one of the best mobile games I have ever played.

Kirk Bage (1775 KP) rated Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) in Movies

Mar 3, 2020

Skipping forward 28 years, John Hughes’ jewel in the crown owes a lot to Billy Wilder. It also borrows from every genre in the book. Reflecting its charming protagonist, this film is smart – so much smarter than it first appears. It allows you to be part of it from the very start, directing dialogue right at you out of the screen, and hopes you get every wink, nod and irreverent moment. We’ve all been teenagers, we all sing in the shower, we all lied to our parents, we all wished we could join a parade as guest of honour and drive a Ferrari into a ditch! Cool but geeky. Great music, great laughs, great dialogue, and the character Matthew Broderick will always be. An influence on every teen movie worth its salt ever since!

Movie Rating Watch

I can't believe this is the first time I've ever watched this movie. If we're being honest, the plot line doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. Like it does, but it doesn't, ya know? And I know this is supposed to be one of the best rom-com's of all time and I can definitely see that, that makes sense to me. But this plotline is so weird.

I really enjoyed the film, don't get me wrong. It just definitely wasn't what I was expecting. I have this really weird thing about Tom Cruise. I don't know what it is, he's just not one of my favorites, but I really loved him in this film. He had me crying, that's for sure. He's a standout, no doubt about it.

Album Rating

Rolling Stone's 485th greatest album of all time

I listened to this album a lot in my teens. While not Pearl Jam's best/biggest album, it was their newest at the time so more relevant to me. I would have said I loved it then, but I am struggling to see why now. While Last Exit, Corduroy and Better Man are good songs, they don't quite shine enough to let us forget all the nonsense on there. Spin the Black Circle is a dire attempt at punk and the rest is just not great. I think maybe I loved this so much in the 90s because I couldn't stand Eddie Vedder's voice and it seems a little toned down on this album than on others. Not quite as much like the scene in Ted.
