Jessica Jones season 2

God what a chore to get through.

The City and The City [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9Ds23M9-RE[/youtube] I posted a review of the book a while back. It will be interesting to see this on screen. Not the biggest fan of David Morrissey though. Westworld season 2 [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjVqDg32_8s[/youtu...

Star Wars: The Last Jedi I'm going to stick spoilers on everything, including my opinion of it. I was hugely underwhelmed. Throughout the film I was sat there thinking "really, is this it?". A lot of stuff just didn't work for me. Main issues below in no particular order: * Out of place hu...

The Bell Jar - Sylvia Plath Plath's only novel, a semi-autobiographical story about a girl whose life takes a bit of a downward spiral. This reminded a great deal of Catcher in the Rye, with the exception that I found Holden Caulfield to be excruciatingly irritating. Not so with Esther Greenwood, t...

The aforementioned Villains came out last Thursday and I've been listening to it an awful lot ever since. Despite my initial reservations, I am in love with this album. It is very different from their previous stuff which has put a lot fan's noses out of joint, but then again some of them have been ...

Interesting - has a bit of a Shadowrun feel to me.

New season of Preacher has started, and it's as gloriously unhinged and mental as ever.

I think American Gods has finished. There was no new episode tonight, but the last one didn't have the feel of a series ending episode. It's still fucking boring though.

Queens of the Stone Age have a new album, Villains, coming out this August. First track released is The Way You Used to Do: [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvyNyFXHj4k[/youtube] Not quite feeling it yet, but they're one of my favourite bands around so I have high hopes for the rest of the a...

This looks visually pleasing

John Dies at the End - David Wong I've heard this recommended a number of times. Written by one of the editors at Cracked, and described in places as a sort of comedy Lovecraftian horror. I expected decent things, but I was left sorely disappointed (in fact I very nearly just stopped reading, but I...

Peter Stormare and Keanu Reeves? Well I'm sold.

American Gods 5 episodes in, and bloody hell is it ponderous. Whoever was saying this would rival Game of Thrones is a raving lunatic. It's still watchable, but that's mostly because of the wonderful Ian McShane. The background music is fucking awful - I'm noticing how bad it is more and more, and I...

Daniel Craig looks like he's having a whale of a time there.

I like Jason Bateman, and it will be interesting to see him in a non-comedy role.
