  • I was discussing this with a friend, I said I was excited but cautious because Leto hasn’t been a main character in a good movie in a very long time. He said Leto his ups and downs, but when thinking about it he said he realised the last good film Leto was in as a main character was Dallas Buyers Club…12 years ago.

    If anything we should get a good soundtrack from this movie.










  • I’m surprised by how many comments are taking an optimistic look at these less than good screenings. Especially given the current state of comic book movies.

    Lots of people have superhero fatigue, and I believe some of it is down to poor writing on the MCU side. When the MCU first took off the quips and little jokes would get a chuckle, but as time went on they became expected, and generated groans.

    My concern with Gunn is his comic book films always have the same feel to them, trying to be serious while also leaning on the side of humour, and throwing lots of characters into the mix. I didn’t enjoy any of his comic book films except for the first GotG, however the Peacemaker TV show was great. I wonder if his style isn’t suited for the current cinematic climate?







  • The Way of Kings (Stormlight Archive) - Brandon Sanderson

    When I first bought it, I got through about 3 chapters and then shelved it. A couple of years later I was looking for something to read, I saw this book being praised and remembered I had a copy. I ended up getting hooked and sucked into the cosmere.
