Fiction
Trigger Mortis by Anthony Horowitz
Prologue
Chapters 1-2
With Anthony Horowitz's new Bond novel, Forever and a Day, out in a couple of weeks, I thought I ought to finally get round to reading the last one -- it's only been out for three years, after all.

this week on 100 Films
Just 2 new reviews were published to 100 Films in a Year this week, but one was a big'un...
Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
Geostorm (2017)
More next Sunday.
Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
like a massive comic book crossover rendered in live-action. You might think “of course it is”, but it’s not that long ago that this wouldn’t even have been possible (the CGI required is phenomenal), and even less time since it would’ve been considered profitable (remember when all superhero movies had to be “grounded”?) As much as it’s a familiar epic sci-fi action blockbuster, it’s also a new kind of thing to the big screen. There are pros and cons to turning that kind of narrative into a movie, but Infinity War is heavy on the former and relatively light on the latter. When it comes down to it, it’s just marvellous entertainment.Read more here.
Geostorm (2017)
Some people, even including some filmmakers, seem to think critics and “pretentious” filmgoers slag off movies like Geostorm based solely on the genre or concept or some other fundamental characteristic. And, yeah, there must be some people who won’t give certain genres a fair shot; but that’s not widely the case, as the praise attracted by better blockbusters proves time and again. No, films like this get slagged off when they’re shittily made. Geostorm is shittily made.Read more here.
More next Sunday.

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
It's meant to be the always-exciting running time update this week... but I've been away from home all week, so I don't have the numbers to hand. There should also be a bunch of new titles added, but they're currently laying on my doormat at home, awaiting my return.
So for now, the numbers remain unchanged:
Number of titles in collection: 2,100 [no change]
Of which DVDs: 1,163 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 937 [no change]
Number of discs in collection: 5,374 [no change]
Number of films: 2,341 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 8,018 [no change]
Number of short films: 607 [no change]
See you next week for definite increases, faithful reader.
