Better question: Which version? Billy Bob's was neutered.
But yes, it holds up.

Grapes of Wrath was probably more 2017, but finished in January.
Aphra's just a graphic novel.
4 of those are audiobooks, and I've driven 1,500 miles so far this month.
But really, I'd like to talk about the phenomenal physical comedy by Joe Mantegna and Joe Pantoliano in Baby's Day Out.

05/50 Books
- Son of Retro Pulp Tales by Joe R. Lansdale
Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein
The World of Lore: Monstrous Creatures by Aaron Mahnke
A Wrinkle in Time: The Graphic Novel by Hope Larson
Cassandra French's Finishing School for Boys: A Novel by Eric Garcia
04/50 Movies
- Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017)
The Dark Tower (2017)
Kong: Skull Island (2017)
Justice League (2017)
Man. I wanted to read Matchstick Men but it wasn't in but his other book was. If you get the opportunity, don't use it.
Justice League - minus the lip wobble from the CGI and the horrible work on Steppenwolf - was good. The use of the Superman theme while he was beating up the Justice League...not great. They should have put it when he finally shows up in Russia.
Side note: He beat the living hell out of Steppenwolf and then leaves to help the civilians and Steppenwolf comes back and beats the hell out of the rest of the League. Kind of one-sided either way.

You can read the back of 50 shampoo bottles if you want. As long as you hit 50 and they're new to you, go crazy.
Also I usually watch much better movies, I just saw so many last year I'm making a slow burn.

What is a trade paperback? Are those the books that combine 5-6 issues?
