  1. I'm hesitant to say after 1 view if it's the best. It was a great movie and since this is finally a Spidey set MCU it's going to sit well with new fans. I think Tobeys 1st may have a slight edge on it as an older viewer. When that came to theater it was pure epic. The problem with Tobey is 3. It soured all connection from how epic 1 was in fans minds. Then we got Garfield's 1st reboot and everyone sang it's praise because we no longer had that Tobey stain on our minds. All 3 of the 1st movies where great in their own way.
  2. Pretty solid film I thought.
  3. That one in 15 was
  4. Curious to know if you skimmed or skipped the parts in books
  5. I think it's likely y'all would go insane in my presence with the language that comes out my mouth lol. Otherland 1 is a very good book but the series goes down with each book more and more though I only read to about 1/2way into bk 3. Shadowmarch is really fun in bks 1&2 bk 3 had some slog parts and I never read bk 4 though I will be rereading within the next few years.
  6. Is that just an HD update of 12 or is it a remake?
  7. 136 hrs playtime in FF15 and still on ch 8! lol I'm just going from outpost to outpost doing hunts. It's so rusting addicting!!
  8. I unfortunately since I got divorced 7 yrs ago and threw away 100's of books and 3 cases have my surviving books and the newest addition scattered all over the place and in plastic bins so it wouldn't be good pics.
  9. Yes bk 4 is when that series goes from blah to pure epicness
  10. Phew! Finally finished Safehold 8 last night! Total time was 105 days.... started 9(the last) afterwards.
  11. I'm not flowery esp when on my phone. its about clashing empires spanning different worlds on The frontline with the grunts and officers and steadily powering up mages, and everyday Average Joes , meddling Gods(or think they are) and their chosen mortals, dragons and demons, all while spanning 100's of thousands of years.
  12. it's the Black Company. I didn't know that he had 2 Malazan like series so I thought that's what you meant.
  13. Yeah I'm looking at it on my shelf now. Had for a few years but never started it. There will be another though so have no fear, people were talking about it a few weeks ago on Malazan boards.
  14. Oh yeah I can name a few of his. He can make Erikson seem like an amateur with words. I love this old man. He writes in all genres. His best known work is theBook of the New Sun. Set in the dying days of our sun when it a red giant Sci-fi but with fantasy aspects or Latro in the Mist set in Anicent Greece about a soldier who suffered a head wound and can no longer have long term memory so writes his life each day in journal that reads on waking up. His wound lets him tap into mystical realm. Or The Wizard Knight which is pretty much exactly what the title says and yet not.. All EXTREMELY good choices. He is very old now and still active. I will literally cry when he leaves this world.
  15. That's probably going to drive you insane. I'm also willing to bet almost anything that whatever you read next after Malazan is going to leave a bitter taste in your mouth since Erikson is such a master. Have you ever read Gene Wolfe?
  16. Reading time on all 3 of my books ground to a halt thanks to the GoT marathon on hbo the last 3 days lol. It finally ended so I ll get back to it now.
  17. Haha yeah. Also you can see who I was talking about when I said MT introduced 2 fan favorite characters!! Also BH is FANTASTIC! It also has my favorite line of the series in it.. I'm only on my 1st play of FF15(only on ch 8 but I just hit 120 hrs game time...so much to do in this game!) and I'm going to get those episodes soon! I just got a monster truck Regalia with a jump function last night! Don't need a Chocobo as long as I have gas now..!!
  18. Get through Amazon? Night of Knives is technically a prequel set before Gardens so you won't be advancing but it is really short at maybe 300 pgs. Most of the rest of his take place (except Dancers Lament) take place during and after Crippled God. There is some stuff in between bk 7&8 that ICE covers where you could feel like your missing or just not remembering if you only do 1-10. my Malazan read has fallen off a bit the last 5 days not because I haven't felt like reading but because I got back into FF15 and Safehold 8(finally only about 100 pgs left till end!) I'm only on pg 400 in HoC and it is SOOOO much better this 2nd time!
  19. You decided against Night of Knives?
  20. HoC is sooo much better on the reread.
  21. I enjoyed this minus a very long bit later on the books. I'm waiting till it's all paperback before I get the new ones so I ll have quite a wait and hopefully I won't have to rip anyone's head off for dropping spoilers till then.
  22. I know many of y'all weren't even alive when this happened but this was my senior yr less then a month from graduation and I still remember the bone chilling silence from everyone when this news started coming in over the speaker.
  23. Tell ya what I want is another Grandia game!
  24. I had that on GameCube! Can't find my console either! i put Final Fantasy 15 back on yesterday.
