Review: The Chris Bowden Quartet at Cathedral Hotel
https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/2023/06/10/review-the-chris-bowden-quartet-at-cathedral-hotel-2/
For six consecutive week-ends in 1969, a cultural festival was held in Mount Morris Park located in Harlem. An incredible line-up of performers and musicians presented their songs and routines, bringing together 50,000 people every time to unify and support their community peacefully.
The footage and audio tapes sat in a basement for five decades, no one showing any interest in them.
Questlove put them together with interviews of attendees.

No Spoilers...
As a #BeastWars fan, I am APPALLED...at how much fun I had with #Transformers #RiseoftheBeasts! Overall a fantastic entry to the franchise and certainly one of the best.
Yes, I'm disappointed #Cheetor (and #Rhinox, too) didn't have larger roles to match #OptimusPrimal or #Airazor's, but I'm satisfied with what I got. I also liked #Nightbird and surprisingly liked #Battletrap.

Review: Dragon Warrior IV (NES)
In this review, we get to play multiple people in the NES game Dragon Warrior IV. We find out if this RPG game is worth playing.
This game was released in 1992. It is the fourth instalment of the series.
We are growing somewhat familiar with this series already. We previously played the original Dragon Warrior. That ga

#Review today is of #AmericanBornChinese, a #TV adaptation of the graphic novel. Quick summary: it's good.
https://oldaintdead.com/american-born-chinese-find-yourself-and-save-the-worlds/
And then even more plot points are kept going, but it feels clear that Baxter really had no idea what to do with them.
The Next show up (out of nowhere) and then proceed to just spend all their time naval gazing until the Deus Ex Machina that is "The Thinker"
Valhalla's quiet revolution was the subject of the whole second book - but then at the point of the third book, basically nothing has changed.
The Traversers went from being an existential threat to the whole long Earth to just being a cool tourist destination, seemingly overnight.
Lobsang's avatar which he sent to 1st person singular was supposed to become absorbed into it, but it turns out he was just having a beach vacation the whole time.
Ultimately I wound up severely dissapointed given how excited I was in the first half of the first book. It's an amazing premise and has so much potential. But ultimately it feels squandered.
#books #bookstadon #amreading #review #pratchett
(2/2)
Just finished The Long Earth series by Sir Terry Pratchett and Steven Baxter. I'm a huge Pratchett fan and these were my first Baxter novels. It pains me to say it, but it was kind of awful..
The whole series can be summed up by "amazing premises that go entirely to waste". The pacing and plot of the books are just terrible, to be frank - each book feels like 9/10 exposition 1/10 plot & character development.
So many fascinating plot points are just abandoned without ever being revisited.
Where did the rectangle buildings with the ray guns come from?
What became of the Beagles after humanities intervention?
Who built the martian beanstalk, and what became of them?
What happened to the fragment of Lobsong/Abraham that was left in the satellite on the Silver Beetle world?
Who sent "The Invitation", and why?

Book Review: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
#ReadingCommunity #ReaderCommunity #BookCommunity #BookReview #Books #Book #Review #EvelynHugo #SevenHusbands #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA+ #Relationships #TaylorJenkinsReid #Netflix #Hollywood
Quite possibly the slowest build-up to the most terrifying third act I’ve ever seen in a film. Basically you feel lulled into complacency as you get slowly used to the characters and then become less fascinated with the filmmaking and more invested in the characters and then the plot starts evolving more and then…
Well, I practically leapt back a metre and now I’m going to watch some “Futurama” to unwind and slow down.
Very highly recommended.

Part 3 puts Lindon in the role of a plant manager who sees his private life dissolve while he is made the hangman of his own employees for the betterment of the career and bonuses of his bosses. It's even more crushing than the first part, but the fact of the virility of the protagonist makes it somewhat more easy...

Hello lovely #book reviewing people. Or people who are intrigued at the idea of reviewing a book. Or people who love alt-history or comic fantasy.
If anyone is intrigued at the thought of reading a funny alt-Tudor history fantasy whodunnit, I have ebook review copies of my new novel, OverLondon available that are, even now, doing a dodgy digital dance, desperate to be prodigiously perused. (I couldn't help myself.)
OverLondon is sexy, it's orange, it features a world created by Anne Boleyn after she's gone on a rampage and it's even got crime solving pirates. (Pirates!)
It's got a cover quote from C.K. McDonnell which made me almost widdle my pants in happiness and... did I mention it has a crime solving pirate?
I can't promise that reading this book for review will imbue you with a confident pirate strut for the ages and gift you with the charisma of a thousand dashing swashbucklers, but it might.
So... just reply to let me know if you want a copy for review... and if you don't, that's totally cool!
Thank you very much for reading my post.
I am now going to make a cup of tea with two bikkies on the side while right-hand-turning-only dog snores at my feet. You're welcome to join me:)

I finished reading _Gender Queer_ by Maia Kobabe. It was 2022’s most banned book. I decided to read it, after hearing how often it was banned, but not being able to find any descriptions of what the fainting-couch set objected to.
And now I know why. It’s a frank memoir of Maia’s gender confusion and awakening. The key word here isn’t “frank”, it’s “memoir”. It made me more empathetic to em and eir experiences. That’s what people are afraid of most of all: empathy for those they want to demonize and erase.

#Watching THE UNINVITED (1944)
Woman gets a job taking care of some white kids and things get all kinds of effed up. Suggests a lot more than it shows but still keeps the audience unsettled. Deliberate but not boring. Invite yourself to see some old school #horror and Mr. Kemper will give you some penny candy
Update- Mr. Kemper died in 2008. So no candy.

🆕 blog! “Review: Rachel Bloom "Death, Let Me Do My Special"”
★★★★★
I've never heard such whooping and hollering from a Bloomsbury Theatre audience. When Rachel Bloom prances on to the stage it is like seeing a revivalist preacher work the faithful. It would have been so easy for Bloom to rest on her laurels and give a "best of Bloom" revue - the crowd would have […

Little does Isa know they are what pushed me to give #mastodon another chance. I was on the fence about if it was worth it to invest my time here and in pops a DM asking to book with me. I took it as a sign.
So thank you for not only patroning me, but convincing me to keep pushing to make a cyber home here.

I'm happy to be able to share a really nice #review from someone within the #mastodon community. As a reader, it's always a great feeling to hear someone resonated with what you said. As a human, it feels even better to know you're thought of as kind, because I strive to bring warmth into my readings. As a small business owner, I appreciate the shoutout-- word of mouth is how I grow. 💜

🆕 blog! “Review: GreenChef / HelloFresh meal boxes”
★★★⯪☆
I'm a reasonably adventurous eater - but a rather underwhelming cook. So I thought I'd give these "posh ready-meals" a go. The pitch is simple. GreenChef will send you a big box of ingredients and a bunch of recipes to follow. You get exactly 175g of tomatoes, a precise number of lentils, and a sachet […]

Doing vocal impressions is hard. Doing them while singing is even harder. But Chirstina Bianco does it effortlessly, backwards and in high heels. I remember seeing the Forbidden Broadway show decades ago - Bianco is an alumna - and being slightly confused by al…

I spent hours taking photos and pixel peeping to compare the cameras on Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and iPhone 14 Pro. Both can take good shots. There's no clear winner, but there are many points where one or the other does better.
Two takeaways: iPhone 3x telephoto limit is weaksauce & Samsung overprocessing makes me wince.

Review: Can't Spell Treason Without Tea by Rebecca Thorne
A low-stakes, cosy fantasy that unfortunately fails to pull together the magic it needs to really make the story sing

Wrapped up The Night Agent on Netflix, a show clearly aiming for the 24 market, but it's just not as action packed or as well cast across the board.
At 10 episodes, it's also about 2 episodes too long; but when it finally hits its stride, it does just about enough to make the time investment worth it.

Review: The Salt Grows Heavy by Cassandra Khaw
A deeply bizarre and grisly love story about freedom and choice. And an alarming amount of murder.
