The Rhyme of the Viking Path

I followed Asgrim Snorri’s son
Around the world and half-way back,
And ’scaped the hate of Galdarhrun
Who sunk our ship off Skagerack.

I haven't listed my five favorite genres, but my #1 has got to be methodical, straight-faced investigation into a possibly supernatural mystery that keeps pulling in new, seemingly random information, until it reveals something much pulpier than seemed like a possibility when it started.

I should have taken a basket to collect all the Easter Eggs in THE RUNNING MAN. Many others have been mentioned elsewhere, but the character played by David Zayas (Batista from DEXTER) is Richard Manuel, whose picture was used to represent Richard Bachman on the hardcover of THINNER

Alright so, A) we'll see how I feel on a rewatch but I am currently pretty mixed on GDT's NIGHTMARE ALLEY and B) I hate Criterion's propensity for weird packaging instead of just putting their discs in a case like a normal person, BUT this Thomas Ott artwork and design fucking rules.

Someone asked if I make any money off the blog.
No. I do not monetize the blog. No ads, no sponsorships, no Patreon. I do use Amazon affiliate links, but that's just to offset the cost of the books a little, really, and most months it doesn't pay out anything.

I'll be honest, I lost interest in GDT's FRANKENSTEIN when I learned it would be ignoring an integral part of the original novel.
