This looks epic.

Any mention of Logan?

 

Watched it and loved it. More of a drama with some action in than your typical CBM. Also enjoyed they fact that they went with the R-rating and showed Wolverine slicing and dicing. Fantastic end to Jackman's run as The Wolverine.

 

8/10

I need to read them again... Had the box-set when I was in the UK. Couldn't bring all my books back with me, unfortunately.

Yes as a parent one of the most important jobs is to expose kids to classic movies and good music.[emoji14] [emoji23] [emoji23]

Strange, I personally couldn't get into the Dark Tower series, to me they weren't classic Steven King, spoilt it for me and I stopped reading him altogether. Pity because he was one of the few fiction writers I used to read.

 

I tried to read "Under the Dome" but just gave up, it was absolute trash.

 

Steven King, for me anyway, will always be The Shining, Carrie, Salem's Lot, Pet Sematary, The Long walk, Cujo, The Dead Zone etc, basically almost anything before 1983/85.

 

The long walk was especially good, one of his best in my opinion, as was Salem's Lot.

Just watched Guardians of the Galaxy... Other than the Doctor Strange 'planet in human form' repetition it was actually good fun. I had to watch in 3D and it was actually really some of the best I have seen. Not distracting at all.

It was always my favourite but his best was the uncut version of the Stand that I had. But Long Walk was also right up there... Coincidence is such that I told my OH to find the Bachmann books for that specific story as she is reading his books now in conjunction with her own writing.

Gifted (2017) 8/10.

Excellent drama, with Chris Evans almost overshadowed by his gifted little co-star. Some great, funny moments between all the drama.

I've always been a fantasy/sci-fi fan rather than a horror fan, so for me none of King's books were as amazing as his Bachman books and his Dark Tower series. They turned me into a huge fan. I've read most of his other books but for me, personally, they pale in comparison with his dark fantasy epic and Rage and The Long Walk.

Other than Terry Pratchett I have never understood fantasy and have never read a sci-fi book in the normal sense. Although I love the movies... Weird. I think it is a function of what you read as a child. I was a very, very introverted kid and I think watching Stand by Me and reading It with the parallel children's timeline sort of just gelled. I remember Dean Koontz's Phantoms, which I think was still one of the scariest things I had read. Vivid memories of a time long gone. *sigh*

Probably. I got into fantasy and sci-fi when I was quite young and now they are my preferred genres. Whether I read, watch series or movies, I usually like a combination of action, humour and adventure - and fantasy and sci-fi usually have at least one of those elements, while my favourites have a blend of them.

 

It might help that I read comics (still do, though not as much as before) and then enjoyed gaming for some time as well while growing up.
