had you seen sin city before?

Yes. When it was in theaters. Haven’t seen the sequel. That’s on tap for Friday.

That’s my recollection as well. I just read thru all the books before Xmas and wanted to go ahead and see both movies while my memories of the stories were still fresh.

It’s supposed to be in development as a tv show now.

I can’t really argue against that. Although, Jaime King was pretty fine in it, too.

05/50 Books

• Cable & Deadpool, Volume 1: If Looks Could Kill by Fabian Nicieza
  Wool Omnibus (Silo, #1) by Hugh Howey
  Space Unicorn Blues by T.J. Berry
  Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald - The Original Screenplay by J.K. Rowling
  Breach (Cold War Magic #1) by W.L. Goodwater

Really liked Breach. Just enough magic mixed with alternate history and it was great. It says book 1 but who knows if there will be a book two. The ending made it seem like a bit of a cop out but here's hoping.

Also I'm 5 books behind schedule for my 100 book reading challenge. I need to get on the fucking ball.

17/50 Movies

• Hogfather (2006)
  Adventures in Babysitting (1987)
  Brigsby Bear (2017)
  Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993)
  Better Off Dead... (1985)
  Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)
  LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: Aquaman - Rage of Atlantis (2018)
  ¡Three Amigos! (1986)
  For Your Consideration (2006)
  Bumblebee (2018)
  Sorry to Bother You (2018)
  Blood Father (2016)
  Seven Psychopaths (2012)
  Sicario (2015)
  Bronson (2008)
  The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks (2017)
  Christopher Robin (2018)
  Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015)

Blood Father was...odd. Not enough revenge. Might have to read the book and see how that fares, since it seemed like it was maybe a little sped up in spots. A book would be able to do that slow burn revenge that's oh so good.

Seven Psychopaths was and interesting flick, not at all what I was expecting. Though I just read the wiki for it and realized I should have expected that since it was the same guy as In Bruges. Weird that Sam Rockwell ended up playing the same basic person three years later in Mr. Right.

Sicario was great all-round. I've seen that scene on the roadway a couple times in gifs and memes but it didn't make it any less awesome. And seeing everyone's favorite burned spy was nice, though the mustache was a weird touch.

The bad guy in MIRN reminded me of Mike McCready with the hair and glasses. Took me out of the movie every time because that's just who I saw.
