Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2 - What I'm Hoping of Marvel's Latest
Marvel's latest galactic adventure hit UK screens on 28th April 2017, but I personally won't be seeing it for a good week or two - a social anxiety about crowded cinemas keeps me at a certain distance from blockbuster releases. But make no mistake, I am excited about the Guardians 2, not least because the original was such an unexpected joy, but also because it introduced some and hinted at other elements of the Marvel's wider Cosmic Universe. I was introduced to it as kid reading my first Fantastic Four annual, which featured Galactus, The Silver Surfer and The Watcher, all iconic Cosmic figures in Marvel; I was blown away by the idea of characters with motives and purposes, not just above the heroes, but bigger than Earth and our cosmos.

7 of My Favorite Worst Movie Quotes from Popular Films
We expect terrible dialogue in terrible movies, but sometimes we get caught off guard by really bad lines in otherwise good--or even great--flicks. And then there are times when the lines are bad and the film isn't that great, but it is still a blockbuster (Hi, Transformers franchise!). So rather than try to sift through "good" movies and "bad but popular" movies, can I get away with just "The Worst Movie Quotes from Popular Films?"

'13 Reasons Why' and the Controversial Theme
Unless you've been living in some remote area with no internet service and only communicating with inanimate objects, then, chances are, you've seen (or, at least heard of) Netflix's recently released title, 13 Reasons Why. The series was adapted from a novel written by Jay Asher but, for now, I'm only going to discuss the Netflix show.

Chaos World for NES
Chaos World, an old school RPG originally only released in Japan, but translated quite a few years ago for those willing to hunt it down, is a surprisingly fun game.
