Brooklyn Nine-Nine has been one of the most consistent comedies on TV for years and one of the best.
In my opinion, the world is a much better place with this show in it. I love these characters and the good, healing energy this comedy series brings. It gives us characters that feel organic, beautiful, strong, dignified, yet with flaws and vulnerabilities. It perfectly balances comedy and drama.
The show very much feels like a television adaptation of Phil Lord and Chris Miller's 21 Jump Street (one of my favorite comedy films). I promise to continue watching it if it ever returns in any way, shape or form.
La Belle et la Bête: journal d'un film (Beauty and the Beast: Diary of a Film) by Jean Cocteau.
A superb book about the making of a masterpiece.
Fun Fact:
Appearances can be deceiving. So whatever you do, do NOT mess with a kelpie. You're not gonna want to pay the price to escape.
A long time ago in Scotland, there was a string of disappearances. Nine children went missing, and no one knew who to blame. One day, a little boy was playing by the water where the children were said to have vanished when he saw a black horse emerge from the water dripping with every step it took towards him and sporting a mane made of kelp. The boy was fascinated and wanted to take the horse out for a ride, but when he stroked its nose, he realized his mistake. His finger was stuck to the beast, meaning this horse was actually a kelpie, a creature known for drowning and devouring anyone who dares to ride it. The kelpie started to pull the boy back towards the lake, but he refused to become its snack. Left with no other choice, he took out his pocketknife and chopped off his finger, allowing him to escape a watery grave.
Merry Little Batman by Mike Roth.
Saw it and loved it!
The Ronald Searle-esque art style is amazing!!
An animated superhero film full of personality and genuine invention!!
Pet Sematary by Stephen King.
An unrelentingly dark and emotional book. Very interesting and frightening read.
It says something when the best-selling horror author ever feels a book is too unnerving.
"The soil of a man's heart is stonier; a man grows what he can and tends it."

V for Vendetta by Alan Moore.
A story originally created to serve as a warning of what could possibly arise from the Thatcherite government of the 1980s, V for Vendetta has stood the test of time as one of the premier works of the comic book medium. A story that tells a tale of tyranny and the valiant effort made to thwart it that's as timeless as it is harrowing.
