Spoiler for spoiler warning, I guess:

TBH I don't remember much so my rants are probably 70% bull****.
Still go and read the book. It's glorious and Eco was one of the best writers of the 20th century.

That's some serious slut-chin.

Worthless. The first Sonya is more interesting looking and has a vastly better resting bitch face. And everything else was just more fun. That scene with Reptile fighting Liu Kang was masterful in showing that the movie had no interest in being a movie when it had the opportunity to make people hit each other more.

I'm so bad at reading novels. Usually, I put in a bookmark a few chapters in and fail to return for 1½ years. At this point, I exclusively read non-fiction. I get my fiction through movies and comic books instead, like the pleb that I am.

Same with me lately but I still try to act all superior and well-read.

I'd do that too, but then people see my unimpressive, tiny bookshelf, entirely dwarfed by my two well-stuffed comic book shelves. I once owned a big, fat Shakespeare collection. Made me feel very well educated and smart until I tried to read any of it. Then I sold it.

You clearly don't read enough comic books or we'd trade recs more often.

I don't read them as often as I used to. But I bought a few less than a week ago. It's just that it's mostly comic strips and European comics of various kinds (Bilal, Manara, Schuiten, Rosínski etc.). No superhero books at all (EDIT: Except Watchmen). I also have some American comics, but they're all graphic novels like Black Hole, Abandoned Cars, Maus and other misc. stuff like that.

I have an e-reader as an excuse.
