The Massacre of Mankind [audiobook]

ON ONE HAND THIS IS A STEVEN BAXTER SEQUEL TO THE WAR OF THE WORLDS AND IT'S REALLY GOOD AND WELL WRITTEN. ON THE OTHER HAND IT'S A CONCEPTUAL  SEQUEL TO 'THE TIME SHIPS' WHICH WAS THE STUPIDEST BOOK EVER AND WAS GREAT BECAUSE OF IT AND I DON'T FEEL LIKE I KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT IT. I LIKE THAT THIS BOOK WAS ACTUALLY WELL DONE AND GOOD BUT I ALMOST WANTED THE STEVEN BAXTER BRAND ON THESE TO ALWAYS MAKE THEM STUPID AND I WONDER IF HE DECIDED TO WRITE THIS ONE CORRECTLY OR IF SOMEONE FORCED HIM TO BE CORRECTLY.   PS. THIS HAD A SLIGHT ELEMENT OF JUST ACCEPTING ALL THE DUMB SCIENCE FROM THE ORIGINAL AS BEING RIGHT BUT STILL WRITING EVERYTHING AS HARD SCIFI AND I ACTUALLY WOULD LIKE *THAT* TO BE THE GIMMICK IF THERE IS A THIRD ONE OF THESE. WHICH SEEMS LIKE IT'D WORK PERFECT FOR THE ISLAND OF DOCTOR MOREAU

The shape of water [movie]

I LEGITIMATELY LOVE HOW LITTLE OF THE MOVIE IS SHOWING THEM FALLING IN LOVE. LIKE WE HAVE SEEN THAT MOVIE. WE GET IT. THEY CAN DO IT IN A MONTAGE. PS. I WATCHED LIKE A PG VERSION OF THIS ON A PLANE AND BOY IS THAT A BAD WAY TO WATCH THIS.

Geostorm [movie]

THIS MOVIE IS VERY DUMB. BUT IT PLAYS IT UP ENOUGH IT'S FINE. LIKE IT ISN'T SO BAD IT'S GOOD BUT IT'S SO DUMB IT'S FINE. DO BAD IT'S C+ PS. DID THE BUTTHOLE CAT SURVIVE?

Downsizing [movie]

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THIS MOVIE IS. IT FEELS LIKE FIVE MOVIES STAPPLED TOGETHER. I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF I LIKED WATCHING IT OR NOT. IT FEELS LIKE IT HAS MESSAGES BECAUSE IT HAS SUBJECTS THAT SOMETHING WOULD HAVE MESSAGES ABOUT BUT WHO EVEN KNOWS. PS. THE SLUM MADE NO SENSE. HAVING A SLUM MADE TIME OF SENSE BUT WHO WAS MAKING LIKE TINY RUSTED BARRELS. LIKE THEY PICKED A REALLY WEIRD WAY TO SHOW IT. WHO BUILT ALL THE CUSTOM TINY OLD STUFF IN A WORLD THAT WAS ONLY 15 YEARS OLD

Lion [movie]

OH MAN. OH MAN. THE WAY I WATCHED THIS I THOUGHT THE FIRST HALF WAS SOME MASTERPIECE OF MODERN FILMMAKING WHERE THE FEAR AND CONFUSION OF THE KID WAS MIRRORED IN THE TOTAL LACK OF ENGLISH. AND IT'S HILARIOUS TO LEARN IT WAS JUST THE BUT MOVIE SCREEN CUTTING OFF THE SUBTITLES.  SERIOUSLY! IT WORKED SO WELL AND WAS SO THEMATIC! PS. GOOGLE EARTH: THE MOVIE

The Titan [movie]

THIS IS A MOVIE THAT REALLY SETS UP THE FIRST HALF LIKE THE STORY IS REALLY GOING SOMEWHERE INTERESTING AND THEN YOU HAVE TO SIT THROUGH THE SECOND HALF SLOWLY REALIZING THE STORY ISN'T ACTUALLY GOING ANYWHERE INTERESTING AT ALL. PS. I FEEL LIKE THAT SAME HOUSE AND THAT SAME POOL ARE IN EVERY SINGLE LOW BUDGET SCIFI MOVIE
