Also, for a man my age, I sure spend an absurd amount of time each day thinking about vampires.
The problem is that it cuts into the time you could be spending thinking about werewolves, succubi, and Frankensteins.
I keep some time free every Werewolf Wednesday, Frankenstein Friday, and Succubi Sunday. Not a big fan of Mummy Monday though, it goes too slow.

I'm glad you're boycotting Zombie Tuesday. Way too Disney corporate now.

The brutalist architecture is a character in the film. It's a really good adaptation of the book.

Looking at the Wiki, I have two comments:
1) Hiddleston narrates the audiobook.
2) When we were watching the Watchmen series, after Jeremy's … Iron appeared, I pointedly told B, "I'd like it noted that I didn't make the joke." She sighed and said, yes, thank you.

2) At Swim-Two-Birds - Flann O'Brien. Audiobook. A challenging read but a rewarding one. Less funny than the Third Policeman and more convoluted in its post-modernism, this is probably the least I've enjoyed one of O'Brien's books. I think it's an issue of execution rather than concept, because there was a short story by the guy that was kind of a precursor where characters rebel against their author which I found more fun and interesting. I got a little irritated with the book in the last couple of sections.
