LoganCrews (2861 KP) rated Final Destination 2 (2003) in Movies
Oct 16, 2020
The deaths up the ante to such ludicrously satisfying levels - the double-whammy of the pipe forehead impaling and the dude getting sliced to pieces by the barbed wire fence less than a minute apart from one another is so righteous - but the talking stuff between them is pure radio static, empty space in comparison to the first one which had weaker + less deaths but actually semi-intriguing writing. This opens with the potential to be a cross-examination of the different ways in which we all react to death, but instead we get junk acting and shit characters doing a lesser repeat of the first film with absolutely zero emotional weight. But really who cares, Tony Todd comes back and that lady got her head cut off by an elevator. Watching these practical effect dummies get tossed around in hilariously explosive vehicle wrecks, blowing up, getting smashed, burning, and getting skewered is a blast even with the occasional spurt of CGI blood from time to time. Rory the cokehead is the clear MVP here, his sincerely funny (and... get this, not forced) comedic relief along with the deeply comedic barbeque ending is the only time this movie even attempts to have any fun outside of the no-joke genius domino-effect deaths even when Ellis' direction is as dull as always.
Darren Fisher (2465 KP) rated Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy) by Brian Eno in Music

Eno On Peak
In the 80's I got into Brian Eno via Talking Heads (with the excellent Remain in Light alvum) and David Bowie (Low, Heroes and Lodger), rather than through early Roxy Music.
My first introduction to Eno's solo work was the compilation More Blank Than Frank in 1986, which after listening to, was enough to convince me that I really needed to check out more of his work. I found Taking Tiger Mountain on cassette in the bargain bins at Our Price (I think). No inlay card but it was going cheap. Taking a punt I got it home and was instantly blown away. Musically upbeat for most of its duration, the lyrics told dark, humorous and downright weird tales about espionage, Limbourg Asylum and the rape of a woman by a crazed machine. There's also a lot of references to China (as the album title suggests).
So obssessed by this album I once recycled my smashed up electric guitar body in to a 'skinning up' table (with coaster bed legs so you could push it from person to person). The main centrepiece of this 'table' was a big mound of wax which I attempted to mould into my own Tiger Mountain... Damn the drugs were good back then hahaha 😎✌
Album Highlights:
Burning Airlines Give You So Much More

Cool celebrity guests (2 more)
Very educational
They're smoking weed man!!! Its awesome
Best show EVER!!!!!!
I was cruising through the amazballs app Tubi Tv when I came across this little gem... Mind you, I do smoke a shit ton of weed myself... And it is legal now in my whole country, so fuck it... Lol.
Doug Benson is someone I've seen on talk shows and heard on podcasts a few times, but I never knew much about him.
This little piece of click bait lured me in with the chance of seeing one of my favorite writer/directors Kevin Smith getting blazed up with Doug and Brian Poshien... Or however you spell it... And it didn't let me down.
He and his guests get just obliterated off some of the sweetest strains of bud made available by whatever weed store they happen to propagate. And they always tell you what the pot is like. Effects... Length of buzz... That sort of pertenate information stoners like myself want to know.
Plus its a chance to see Jeff Ross, Natasha Leggerio and Anthony Jeselnyk HIGH AS GIRAFFE BALLS.
Overall its 45 minutes that is filled with talking, coughing and laughter... Very reminiscent of nights spent in my mom's kitchen with my friends, sitting around the table smoking our heads off and laughing til the sun came up.
Ah the memor... Wait.... What????

Merissa (13659 KP) rated Pieces of Us (Missing Pieces #3) in Books
Aug 3, 2020
Pieces of Us is the third and final book in the Missing Pieces series and what a fantastic finale it is! We reunite with Justin and Dallas as Justin continues to make slow but steady progress. He still can't remember everything but is enjoying all his firsts - again.
If you are looking for a high angst book then I'm afraid you've picked the wrong series. The angst here is all about Justin's accident and the impact it has, in ways neither he or Dallas could have envisaged, with just one exception - Justin's mother. The relationship between Justin and Dallas is as rock-solid as ever, with them given ample support by Davo and Sparra.
I loved how this book and the whole series played out. My heart broke for Justin as he planned for a future when Dallas wouldn't want him and it also broke for Dallas when he realised what Justin was talking about. The ending, for me, was perfect. We got the HEA I craved whilst still being realistic to Justin's limitations.
This trilogy is a definite heart-breaker that will give you the warm fuzzies. Absolutely fantastic and highly recommended by me.
