Days Twenty-One to Twenty-Seven

Aka last Tuesday to Today

Not much happened between last Tuesday and Friday, mostly vodka & OJ’s, listening to music (lots of Portishead and Carole King) and podcasts, doing crosswords and watching crime DVDs.

My crime season was The Departed, The Friends of Eddie Coyle, Heat, Inside Man and John Wick – all classic films that everyone should see at least once. It was a little weird to watch Peter Boyle in The Friends… as I mostly know him from Everyone Loves Raymond and Young Frankenstein, so to see him play such a dodgy character was a little weird.

Plenty of good comics out last Wednesday:

I also got Kyle Starks (http://kylestarks.com/) new book through the post:

Sexcastle (https://imagecomics.com/comics/releases/sexcastle) was great fun and really looking forward to reading Kill Them All.

Saturday to today was mostly spent working on a job application (which I submitted a few hours ago) and, on Sunday, meeting my new nephew.

Then there was the sad news of Bill Paxton passing away, I think Aliens is my favourite Bill movie, with Weird Science a close second. Whenever he was in a film (or TV show), even if it was a minor part, he had great watchablility. Newman (@newmantron) has made a great video tribute which can be found here:
