Yeah, Kill Creek is actually an audiobook--I have floating credits at Audible, probably because they did a version of Experimental Film, so I've been able to "read" a crazy amount of audiobooks for free, and this is the most recent one I've been "reading." Great vocal performance, and it goes like a son-of-a. They've also done some amazing versions of Michael McDowell books, which is how I was able to snap up the entirety of his Blackwater cycle. And Caitlin's books, too! Their version of The Red Tree is really something; the vocal performer has a thick Southern accent and it adds a layer of wonderful langourous exhaustion to everything.

Thor: Ragnarok is quite amazing, actually--the design sense is pure Jack Kirby, but the sensibility is pure Taika Watiti. It's as light yet politically perceptive as The Dark World is high tragic epicness (aside from a few small funny bits). I kind of love the way that Watiti sees Loki and Thor as "two rich kids from space," re-sizing their issues by putting them in a bunch of situations that show them all the problems other people have and making them (for the moment) just two more Guardians of the Galaxy-type super-powered a-holes floating around the universe. Cate Blanchett as Hela is, naturally, incredible, and there's some weirdly subtle emotional work going on from Karl Urban as Skurge, a hapless Asgardian dolt who gets caught up in her horrifying wake. Great use of "Immigrant Song," too.
