People have been telling me to get a letterboxd account to put my reviews on for years. I didn't bother because "Ew more social media". Now I have one. It will not go well. Add it if you like. Don't add it if you don't.

@jessehawken The second they entered Rick's house my brain reminded me of Hitler's conclusion in Basterds and I knew exactly where this scene was going. Right into Tarantinoland.

@AltHistCody I enjoy the movie more. I get what the book is doing, but as OP says, after a while the satire, the descriptions of ever little item, becomes exhausting. The movie managed the same point, but without feeling like it was labouring it. Also 100% less rats in vaginas.

@Obi1_Shinobi @charlesr1971 @ashleyljames "It is what it is" is the worst reason for anything. That attitude would've kept slavery going. Nobody's a good fit for a Royal Family, because A Royal Family isn't a good fit for a democratic nation.

@jblairsanders I thought I wanted a wife and kids. My wife thought she wanted a husband and kids. Then we got married. And our marriage together is so fucking wonderful that we soon realised that neither of us want kids. 16 years together. 10 married. At peace.
