Have you ever loved something, only to realize it’s a commercial flop or just obscure? What’s something that deserves more light than it got?

    Not so much underrated as it was rated well, but mostly because it didn’t really do well in theaters. Annihilation (2018) which is based on the novel of the same name is often overlooked when talking about great scifi movies. The book is great too.

      I kinda bounced off the books. I read all three, but I felt like they were just trying a little too hard to be vague. The second in particular is an absolute slog. I thought the movie was much better than the books, and I’m 99% of the time the other way-round.

      His next book: Borne was amazing. Probably my favorite of his.
