Yesterday I finished "The cradle of ice" by James Rollins. It's his second book in the Moon Fall series. It's more of a fantasy saga, so quite a bit different than his science related suspense thrillers about Sigma Force. I really like the series even though I'm not a big fantasy fan. It's still a rich tapestry that you can get lost in, like Herbert or Tolkien.
Here's the description from BARD:
The cradle of ice DB114604
Author: Rollins, James
Reading Time: 26 hours, 27 minutes
Read by: Nicola Barber
Subjects: Fantasy Fiction, Suspense Fiction
"To stop the coming apocalypse, a fellowship was formed. A soldier, a thief, a lost prince, and a young girl bonded by fate and looming disaster. Each step along this path has changed the party, forging deep alliances and greater enmities. All the while, hostile forces have hunted them, fearing what they might unleash. Armies wage war around them. For each step has come with a cost—in blood, in loss, in heartbreak. Now, they must split, traveling into a vast region of ice and to a sprawling capital of the world they've only known in stories. Time is running out and only the truth will save us all." -- Provided by publisher.

#cinema pourquoi #Moonfall pourquoi… vendredi soir, pas envie de se prendre la tête (et Emmerich est pas trop mauvais pour ça… quoique)
Mais je m’attendais pas à un tel niveau de nullité qui bouffe à tous les râteliers : Gravity, Interstellar, Elysium, Prometheus, Terminator (et va s’y sur l’autoréférencement sur ID4 etc). 2012 est un chef d’œuvre à côté (au moins on se marre). #critiquecinema

Neulich gesehen: Moonfall. 🌜 Kann Spaß machen, wenn man sich auf Trash einstellt, und ich mochte die Effekte gegen Ende sehr. Allerdings braucht er leider zu lange, um zur Sache zu kommen.

Am watching #Moonfall. It's...awful, but I'm am loving every awful minute of it.
Super-CGI silliness hits my sweet spot for "just enough distraction to keep me focused" while I do other things.
Things like laundry, working on WIP research, and counting book inventory so I know how much to order for #C2E2
<pause for hyperventilating ZOMG I'M TABLING AT C2E2!>
How is it only 3 weeks away? Gaaaaahhhhh, so much to do.
It’s been ages since I tried to watch the abomination which is #Moonfall (except the cat, Fuzz Aldrin, the saving grace of the entire movie). And it still bugs me that an entire civilisation who could create a psychotic Alexa, didn’t have a single EMP that could have saved everyone.
I mean, there’s a lot that bugs me about the movie, but that really irks me
Moin meine #Mastonauten, ich hoffe euch geht es soweit gut an diesem #Dienstag. 😊
Ich habe Mal wieder eine #Film #Frage ausgegraben.
Kennt ihr auch so einen Film, bei dem in einem riesen #Plottwist auf einmal alles ruiniert wurde?
Mir fällt aus jüngster Zeit #Moonfall ein, was für ein Bullshit Ende der hatte 🤣 So trashig, das es fast gut war 😅

Just watched #moonfall which, and I don't think I'm overstating this, is the worst film I've ever seen. Catch it now on Amazon Prime, etc.
『ムーンフォール』を観たよ。なんかアレゲなもののせいで月が地球に落ちてくるのでがんばろう!って話。恐ろしく金のかかった映像と、古い古い古いSFネタと、鼻で笑っちゃうような安上がりの物語と、どいつもこいつも10秒も頭を使わないし30秒もしたらなにもかもを忘れてるような知性を感じない人々があっちこっちで破天荒に暴れまくるだけ。というわけでクソ映画の部類なんだけど、でも、とても楽しいんだ。バカな人々がバカなことをしてるのを見てバカだバカだと指さしてケラケラ笑うのは、そりゃあ楽しいですよ。

Watched #Moonfall & it knew exactly what kind of movie it was and it was so delightfully stupid but I laughed a lot and will probably watch it again.
Nachdem #EverythingEverywhereAllAtOnce nicht gut ankam und alle zu gemeckert wurde, gibts jetzt #Moonfall … was ein Reinfall … #christmas #familie 🙈

#Moonfall ist einfach ein klassischer Emmerich. Zack, bumm, krach, pardauz. Nicht mehr, nicht weniger.
#moonfall is peak Emmerich. It's one of his best movies and everyone should watch it. It hits the "so terrible it's good" niche
I was looking for a clip from the George Pal version of The Time Machine and YouTube decided to serve up the moon scene from the 2002 film. This shot right here still gives me chills. Imagine looking up and seeing that - there’s nothing you can do. *shudders*
