1) Did you see the movie ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’? And what did you think?

I genuinely really enjoyed it. Great crime caper romp set in the Star Wars universe filling in some cool things we’d always like to see. Sure, he wasn’t quite ‘Han’ as we know him but ideally there will be a sequel. Sadly following its reaction this may not happen.

2) What is an acclaimed movie or one a fanbase really enjoys but you hated? Also why

I usually love everything, However, I do remember having an argument with an old horrible boss about Hannibal Rising. I thought it was utterly tosh. She thought it was the best clever film ever. She was wrong. As usual.

3) What is a movie with ok to bad reception that you liked?

Again I like everything but currently I would say the live action Bleach. It’s funny, good action and effects. A little treat. (I’ve not seen the anime). Better than this I am a fan of the Dark Tower film. I’ve read all the books too and still doesn’t ruin this film for me.

4) Slightly different question, what movies disappointed you

Geostorm. I’m fine with trashy made for TV style films but this was just really underwhelming.

5) Can an affective movie universe outside of Marvels be done?

Sure, they just need me to help them. DC are getting there it’s just a shame they can’t tie in the films and the popular TV series. I believe Titans Ties in to the films so that should help.

My wife and I are always creating Mash Up shows and anytime there is a crossover I get excited.  The DC shows do it fantastically but there are plenty of other shows who could do it. The Blacklist and Elementary instantly comes to mind.

Movie wise, the unbreakable trilogy has me salivating. Film one and two were brilliant by themselves and the trailer for number three looks like he is just letting loose and going for it. Oh just realised another answer to a question above. Well done if you spot the stealth edit before getting here.

Hobby wise I’ve mostly just been building this weekend.

I’ve built some Primaris marines to start with. Then yesterday I picked up the Sector Mechanicus scenery expansion for kill team. This is a seriously great kit. The box makes a brilliant thump when you drop it. Expensive but well worth it. Oh and I didn’t get any games in. Annoying me greatly.
