Yep I read the book. The movie very much felt like it was for people that read the book and could fill in the blanks in the plot they cut for time and expense.

Wease, you should check out The Winter of Frankie Machine by Don Winslow.

Quote:
Frankie “The Machine” Machianno is one of the greatest mobster characters ever created, in the range of Michael Corleone and Tony Soprano. Like those two iconic gangsters, Frankie balances his life as a violent criminal with a practical and affectionate concern for his family, immediate and extended. Perhaps more Corleone than Soprano in his sensibilities and old school moralities, he is nonetheless a blue-collar soldier, a hitman with the instincts of a killer.

Frankie is a retired and legendary button man, a fixer who is “automatic” and so the alliterative moniker stuck. He is a beloved bait shop owner who also has interests in a linen and a fresh fish business, his days as a hired gunman are far behind him. He is a hard working entrepreneur who is holding down multiple jobs to support his ex-wife and to pay for his daughter’s school. But when his Mafioso past comes back in the form of a “meeting” he finds himself on the outside looking in as decades old crimes come back to haunt him. Frankie is on the run, trying to survive while also trying to learn who has set him up.
I'm re-reading it now and it's similar to the Parker stories...kind of like a 60-year-old Parker. Winslow is a great writer and I think this is right up your alley.

09/50 Books
    Cable & Deadpool, Volume 1: If Looks Could Kill by Fabian Nicieza
    Wool Omnibus (Silo, #1) by Hugh Howey
    Wrapped-Up FoxTrot: A Treasury with the Final Daily Strips by Bill Amend
    Space Unicorn Blues by T.J. Berry
    Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald - The Original Screenplay by J.K. Rowling
    Breach (Cold War Magic #1) by W.L. Goodwater
    Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse by Steve Behling
    Hark! the Herald Angels Scream: An Anthology by Christopher Golden (Editor)
    The Winter of Frankie Machine by Don Winslow

Really liked Breach. Just enough magic mixed with alternate history and it was great. It says book 1 but who knows if there will be a book two. The ending made it seem like a bit of a cop out but here's hoping.

Spider-Man was great. Very short - finished it in a day - but then it didn't expand on the movie at all. No extra inside-voice beats or anything that you'd expect from a novel.

The anthology had some good stories in it but they were far outstripped by the bad ones.

Little bit better on my reading challenge now. Though I have a book that I've been reading for months because it just hasn't grabbed me. It sucks because I won it from a Goodreads giveaway contest and they keep asking me when I'm going to write a review.

21/50 Movies
    Hogfather (2006)
    Adventures in Babysitting (1987)
    Brigsby Bear (2017)
    Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993)
    Better Off Dead... (1985)
    Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)
    LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: Aquaman - Rage of Atlantis (2018)
    ¡Three Amigos! (1986)
    For Your Consideration (2006)
    Bumblebee (2018)
    Sorry to Bother You (2018)
    Blood Father (2016)
    Seven Psychopaths (2012)
    Sicario (2015)
    Bronson (2008)
    The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks (2017)
    Christopher Robin (2018)
    Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015)
    Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)
    Top Secret! (1984)
    How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (2019)

Blood Father was...odd. Not enough revenge. Might have to read the book and see how that fares, since it seemed like it was maybe a little sped up in spots. A book would be able to do that slow burn revenge that's oh so good.

Seven Psychopaths was and interesting flick, not at all what I was expecting. Though I just read the wiki for it and realized I should have expected that since it was the same guy as In Bruges. Weird that Sam Rockwell ended up playing the same basic person three years later in Mr. Right.

Sicario was great all-round. I've seen that scene on the roadway a couple times in gifs and memes but it didn't make it any less awesome. And seeing everyone's favorite burned spy was nice, though the mustache was a weird touch.

The bad guy in MIRN reminded me of Mike McCready with the hair and glasses. Took me out of the movie every time because that's just who I saw.

Top Secret is better in gif form as there's too many parts that were just dull, like not even a funny background thing going on.

HTTYD was really good.

books (15/50):
some are re-reads:

Notes From the Underground - Dostoevsky
The Gay Science - Nietzsche
On the Genealogy of Morals - Nietzsche
The Aeneid - Virgil
The Open Society and its Enemies - Popper
Rules for Radicals - Alinsky
On Liberty - Mill
Mortal Engines - Reeve (blech!)
On the shortness of life - Seneca
Letters from a Stoic - Seneca
The Myth of Sisyphus - Camus
All Things Are Possible - Shestov (I really need to find more from this guy)
The Unbearable Lightness of Being - Kundera
Leviathan Wakes - Corey
Existentialism from Dostoevsky to Sartre - Kaufmann

I've been trying to figure out if adult oriented illustrated novels are a good idea, and with one exception, it doesn't look good:
Above the Timberline - Manchess (boring, confusing)
The Electric State - Stålenhag (this is cool!)



movies:
a bunch of dogshit
