The Marinated Meeple (1848 KP) rated Coal Baron: The Great Card Game in Tabletop Games
Mar 15, 2018
I love the card worker placement mechanism (2 more)
different cards have different numbers of workers
Interesting 1-up mechanic to take actions (need to have more workers than the guy who did it before you)
A worker placement game using cards of different values.
I love this game. It's medium level brain burn in a card game. it's not a gateway game, as it's more complex than that. but seasoned players will have no problem understanding it after the first round. Highly recommend giving this a try.

David McK (3236 KP) rated Ready Player One (2018) in Movies
Jan 19, 2019 (Updated Dec 27, 2022)
Spielberg's adaptation of the Ernest Clone book of the same name, and it is an ADAPTATION: that is, takes the same premise and the same basic outline but switches things around where needed.
That's because they're two different things: cinema is a visual medium, whereas a book is in your imagination (and so will never please everyone, as we all imagine things differently).
I did find myself losing attention a couple of times throughout, but all in all this wasn't a bad movie.

ShakingNotStirred (19 KP) rated The Suicide Squad (2021) in Movies

A Strikingly Thrilling, Insane Ride of a Story
James Gunn does a wonderful job of capturing the charm from his "Guardian of the Galaxy" movies and gives the squad it's own feel (something the original dreadfully failed to do) and tells a story that feels true to the medium. Great job. Casting is spot on and well balanced amongst team members. Kudos to whomever kept the WB executives away from this one preventing them from screwing it up. Go see in the Theater!!!

Awix (3310 KP) rated The Lovecraft Investigations in Podcasts
Feb 12, 2021 (Updated Feb 15, 2021)
Mock true-crime podcast adaptation of three of Lovecraft's best-known stories, scripted and directed by Julian Simpson. Achieved in impressive style, and genuinely frightening in places. Purists will be within their rights to complain about the way in which the stories are updated, and the extent to which the adaptation becomes progressively looser and looser as the series continues - but the inclusion of other real-world esoterica and conspiracy theories is impressively done. The tone wobbles slightly in places, but the performances are uniformly strong and it's done with wit and intelligence. One of the best HPL adaptations in any medium.

Such epicness
I went into this wondering if I would enjoy this. The film was one of my favourites growing up even though I'm sure it scared the bejeebus out of me. The series managed to hold on to all the elements I loved from the original movies whilst stepping up and became something new. They would not have achieved this if they had used any other medium. The puppets were brilliantly made, used and just a joy to watch.

Stunning poetry but unrelated to the Classics
Anne Carson is definitely among the class of rare poets, seen in this work which takes you on a journey through the medium of words. That being said, I was hoping for something a little more in time with the classical world it invokes. Despite the characters being called Geryon and Herakles, they have little in common with their mythical namesake.
Carson leaves most traces of classicism behind. That isn't necessarily bad, but it begs the question of why she uses these myths in the first place. Nevertheless, the poetry is solid and evocative, so read it without the mythologies in mind.
