Never read the comics but watching the show and enjoying it a lot.  Episode 6 is great TV I think, both tragic and uplifting, the way the episode is split in 2 I’m guessing this is based on two issues.  I can see why the comic would be big with the goth  crowd as Dream is pretty much a Goth Dream Boy 😊
Very much needed to be a TV series for can’t see how this would ever have worked as a movie.  The production values of this are through the roof it looks gorgeous and the soundtrack is divine, I’ve heard it  ost in about $15 million per episode.  Will be watching the rest over the next couple of evenings.

Another yes for Paper Girls, after slow first half of ep 1 it’s great, watched Ep 3 and 4 last night and my st say hello unexpected MECH at the end has cemented it for me.  May not be available for nexpected for fans of the comic though.  Wouldn’t really say it is like Stranger Things though but it does have a great and believable child cast which is what made season 1 of Stranger Things so great.

I liked this a lot, I also like Discovery a lot particularly the last season but I like them for different reasons.  The old school episodic nature of New Worlds is to its benefit and we get to know the crew better that other new Treks also Pike does have magnificent hair.  Final episode was great but the new Captain Kirk while gone isn’t no Shatner.  Bring on season 2

Sonic 2
It’s a movie based on a game where a Blue Hedgehog sprite runs from left to right really fast jumping on bad guy robots, really shouldn’t work but like the first one it does.  Was lots of fun, nice little Easter eggs in there for fans of the game, took my 5 year old daughter as her first trip to the cinema and she loved it too, she even sat in her seat for the whole 2 hours, maybe 15 minutes too long they could cut out the whole Hawaii wedding and nothing would be missed.  Jim Carrey bought it as Robotnic again and Edris Elba was great as Knuckles you get a very Drax feeling from the character.  I f you didn’t think much of the first one don’t bother but for my money both Sonic & Sonic 2 are probably the best Video Game moves so far.

Adam Project or The Adam Project not sure and can’t be bothered looking it up.  New Ryan Reynolds movie on Netflix, he goes back in time meets his younger self then goes back further in time and they both meet his absences dead dad.  Not too bad, it’s a Netflix movie so variable quality on the FX and you either like Reynolds or don’t, the kid they cast to play young Reynolds does a pretty good job and overall enjoyable, I’ll rate it the way Netflix let you do just a 👍 from me.

Latest series is Star Trek through and through for me, though not being the hugest Trekker take from that what you will.  I thoroughly enjoyed this season though it could’ve been a couple of episodes shorter to cut a bit of filler it was good to get a season without a big bad and just voyaging where no one has gone before.

Ahh of course Arrival maybe I should have fact checked first, I do sort of remember Contact from years ago wasn’t too bad iirc

 I’m enjoying season 2 so far but yeah the whole synthetic thing is a bit of a dud, iirc they said his new body would be exactly like his old one and even due in a few years like a normal human body, makes me sad I wanted to see Picard doing backflips and bending metal with his bare hands 😁😁
Also if you wrote of Discovery last season give this season a go I think it’s much more like old Trek and less Starwars Trek, their mission is to actually boldly go where no one has gone before!!! Though it does seem to be ripping off Contact (is that what the movie was called with the Squidly aliens and the Lois Lane made by the guy that did Dune??) tis good now

All of us are Dead

Fuck the Koreans are really knocking it out of the park when it comes to genre stuff.  Another top effort up there with Squid Games, best Zombie show I’ve seen in years like a long form Train to Busan (which gets a name check episode two I thin it was, just as I turned to my missus to say this could really be set in the same universe as TTB the characters bring up the movie when discussing Zombies 😆) and a wonderful mid season twist the differentiate it from common Zombie outbreaks the virus is learning and suddenly intelligent Zombies.  Nice long episodes too so plenty of time for the show to breathe and build character so as they start being offed you really feel free it.  Only half way through but have read that the series sticks the landing too.  On Netflix if ya got it

Holly shit I did not know that I just knew her from Agents of Shield, I can forgive her for being in Street Fighter though, she is one of my screen crushes 😍 I might have to watch Street Fighter again now I’ve only watched it all nice when it first came out

Up to episode 4 of Peacemaker, rather enjoyable if you like James Gunns style.  Lots of lol moments but also has a fair bit of heart.  John Cenna is great in it and the rest of the cast are great too with Vigilante a stand out especially in episode 4.
Also has one of the greatest opening credits ever 😁

Episode 2 always great, especially liked it when Morrison went Once we Were Warriors on the bikies in the bar (if you haven’t seen it or don’t know Once we were Warriors also known as What becomes of the Broken Hearted in some regions was Temura Morrisons break out roll, watch it if you haven’t he is a beast of a man in it who loves to booze and brawl and it’s a god damn tragic movie we’ll worth a couple of hours of your life).  Back to Book of Boba fett it fricken great I’d even say I’m enjoying it more that The Mandolorean.

Finally got out to see Spider-Man No Way Home, nothing to say except it was f’n brilliant.  Tom Holland is a great young actor and really brought the feels when they were needed.  In fact it was well acted all round by everyone.

Ghostbusters Afterlife, absolutely loved it nostalgia done right.  The original Ghostbusters is one of my favourite films ever and this belated sequel hits all the right buttons for me unlike most recent late sequels (cough Matrix cough) truely feels like an earned sequel and not just a cash grab.  Being honest I really didn’t mind the reboot from a few years ago but this one shows how poor that movie was.
