navarro : “three days” might be my favorite song to play live , but “then she did…” is my favorite song that we ever recorded . i really identified with the mood that we captured on that song , and it really highlighted the band’s ability to shift gears . it’s hard to believe that the band that did this song was the same band that did [ nothing’s shocking ‘s ] “idiots rule , ” you know what i mean ? that one could be considered like an early chili peppers–sounding track , and this one could be considered a goth song .

the spoken - word bit performed by perry farrell at the beginning of this song has been debated for years , and will likely continue to be until an isolated recording of the song surfaces . transcription of the poem is difficult once the music kicks in . the poem audio also appears to diverge and sections sound repeated .

navarro : i have a vague memory of us all recording it in one take , but my most vivid memory of “three days” is of working on it in the rehearsal room with perry . that song really came together with the two of us staying up all night , just throwing part after part after part on top of each other ; i think that we were probably a little chemically accelerated on that one . that , to me , is one of my favorite , favorite songs that we’ve done . it really tells a great story . it doesn’t give a fuck about structure ; it doesn’t give a fuck about verses and choruses , but every part is memorable — you get lost in it . i grew up on records like tommy and the wall and the lamb lies down on broadway — long , crazy , nonsensical stuff that told stories or just took you on a journey , so to make music like that was really satisfying to me . but the difference here is that perry’s not singing about xanadu or some other mystical land ; he’s singing about a three - way love affair that went on for three days , high on chemicals , and the ups and downs of that and the psychosis of that . he’s speaking about real - life experiences that people can either identify with or fantasize about .

mountain song .
overcoming the odds , the band and the man who founded lollapalooza had a very convincing , very good relapse , with music so full you could breathe it in .

stevie ray vaughan ' s texas blues put the austin music scene on the map in the 1980s .
texas flood
is the title track from the 1983 album from vaughan and his band double trouble . the band recorded the whole record in just two days . the resulting sound is pure vaughan , no overdubs . more »
not so for resilient jane ' s addiction . with amiable chatter and manner that was to foreshadow later , beneficent but mesmerizingly awful hopi - tahitian mysto - babble , farrell preened the feathers of the ruffled crowd in its raucousness ( and i almost got to see a grown woman take her shirt off - - naked as a babe ) .
but the music of jane’s addiction reflected a much different reality . like the doors two decades earlier , the band — vocalist perry farrell , guitarist dave navarro , bassist eric avery and drummer stephen perkins — drew upon the darker , druggier and more exotic aspects of the city of angels to create songs that were both viscerally immediate and shrouded in poetic mystery . jane’s addiction rocked hard , as well ( harder than many of their sunset strip contemporaries , in fact ) , but they did so while mixing elements of funk , goth and world music into the equation , resulting in a deeply personal sound that struck a resounding chord with alternative music fans of the late eighties and early nineties .
“raising money for cancer is a reminder that every day , people are struggling with the disease and need the support to maintain their dignity and fight , ” said kyle stefanski , ceo of rhonda’s kiss . “we are blessed to have strong support from artists such as jane’s addiction , the public , and hospitals like cedars - sinai to be able to help more and more people fight this terrible disease . ”

flea and dave navarro perform with perry farrell , stephen perkins and peter distefano at the premiere of howard stern ' s movie private parts at madison square garden . the seeds of a jane ' s addiction reunion were set . when the band was unable to bring eric avery back into the fold , red hot chili peppers ' bassist flea , a longtime friend and fan of the band , stepped up to fill the void .
jane ' s addiction plays their final concert before breaking up at the aloha tower in honolulu , hi . due to the immense heat , perry took off his clothes and performed most of the show in the nude . while perry drew all the attention , little did many realize that stephen perkins was the first to undress , playing the entire concert in the buff !
we had perry’s dog venice with us in the studio , and we threw him in the booth and got that dog bark . it’s not really a sample — we just recorded perry’s actual dog ! i don’t know that we thought of it as being that obscure or outrageous ; he was just barking in the studio while we were playing that song , and we said , “oh , that sounds kind of cool ; let’s put him in there ! ” and the next thing we know , we’re the “dog - barking - song band” [ laughs ] ! it was just like something to make us smirk to each other ; i don’t think we ever thought it through that people would actually hear it . i know i didn’t !

: suddenly , after bringing the audience to a climax jane ' s addiction had left the building . people wandered about , waiting for another announcement about some other structural deficiency of the gosman , but none came . milling about , the crowd stared at the flowery tahitian motifs of the stage .
together with the expert riffs of dave navarro and , here , the now seductive , now speedy bass plucking of flea , the meaning of

with its eminently marketable dog barks and mtv mock - shock video , jane ' s addiction has always had the ability to make one forget about the asphyxiating , essentially d . o . a . verse - refrain structure of the rock song . the proof is in the aural pudding - - smooth , textured , not strung together .
farrell : i had a very incredible , brief time in my life where i had not one but two girlfriends . i was a young man ; i was experiencing things . it was a rite of passage . there i was , in bed , with two beautiful , exotic chicks — my girlfriend casey [ niccoli ] , who i lived with , and xiola [ blue ] , who came to visit . you can see all of us on the cover of the album . it was so much fun , and it felt so good — and at the age we were , staying up for three days was nothing !

nothing ' s shocking
. despite early fractures in the band and several changes in band management , producer dave jerden understood the band enough to help them craft an amazing album . despite 9 of the 11 major record retailers refusing to carry the album due to its cover leading to it being sold in some stores wrapped in a paper bag , and scathing reviews in industry magazines such as rolling stone ,
nothing ' s shocking
would go on reach gold , and later platinum status .
“the day i tried to live” is a quintessential example of almost everything that made soundgarden great and unique . it features one of their weirdest alternate tunings ( eebbbb , compared to the traditional eadgbe ) and alternates between 7 / 4 and 4 / 4 . each move is characteristic of their writing style , but “the day i tried to live” is maybe the best example of how soundgarden could subtly incorporate odd tricks into rock music , giving their music a slight exoticism without descending into gimmickry . in this instance , they give the song a dissonant , hypnotic pull . it’s still a bit heavy , but doesn’t sacrifice the hooks . it’s some of the band’s best songwriting , strengthened by some great vocal melodies that have ensured that the song has aged particularly well . the poppy qualities might’ve struck some fans with another sort of dissonance , given that many have interpreted “the day i tried to live” as a suicide note of a song . rather , it turns out it’s one of the few hopeful moments in soundgarden’s catalog . like so much of superunknown , it does deal with themes of depression and alienation , but the idea behind the phrase is a man trying to move past his tendency to withdraw from other people and the world at large , and even though he keeps failing , “one more time around / might do it . ” there’s a lot of darkness on superunknown , and in soundgarden’s career in general , and this glimmer of brightness feels not only earned , but crucial . “the day i tried to live” might not be the band’s most famous song , but it has everything that soundgarden excelled at , with less characteristic flourishes for added depth . it’s still one of the most rewarding songs they’ve ever recorded .

in short . . . this is ka . . . pick up the book and see what knight is all about .
knight was not a bad boy . he was a bad man he knew who he was , what he wanted and what he liked . and he got it . period . law and society be damned . he made his own rules and morals .
oh , and , also , there’s a shia labeouf “cameo , ” of sorts , but don’t blink or you’ll miss it — or , as with so much in the last knight , immediately forget it .
! oh my . . . * swoon * . . . be prepared to get a little teary - eyed , is all i ' ll say . just a wonderful hea .
george , oh man , youtube comments are something i try to avoid but i’m going to check those out just to depress myself .
oh , god no . there’s a ton of story , as our review pointed out , but maybe a quarter of it drunkenly follows what could charitably called “the plot . ” and virtually nothing whatsoever connects to the previous films , unless you consider “constantly contradicting them” to be a connection .
holy freakin ' hotness . so , i ' m thinking i might need therapy some time soon . i ' m beginning to get slightly depressed that men are just sooo much better in books than they are in real life ! especially in ka books ! knight . oh . my . actual . god ! where does she come up with this stuff ? ! knight is the ultimate alpha ! and he ' s called knight ! ! !

oh , he’s a meaningless character whose sole attribute is that he speaks with a cartoonish french accent , which the movie takes the time to tell us is not real , and he’s speaking in it solely because he’s a weirdo .

world , because that ' s how it is with knight ) . there ' s smokin ' hot chemistry between the two , but will anya be okay with giving up total control to knight ? can she do what knight wants , live with his rules , wear what he wants her to wear , ask no questions that he isn ' t ready to answer and abide by decisions he makes ?
nope . there are at least a few knight - bots who seem to be totally fine when the movie ends , so there’s not a last one of them . since they’re around , that also rules out optimus prime , too . so the only knight it could mean is a human knight .
she ventured into creating a romance for an anti - hero with a heart . . . a heart that resides in a controlled and yielding world that knight created and he ' s the king .
tired of books about a man with a dark side who finds a woman to help him seek redemption ? a badass turned hero ? then this is the book for you ! knight sebring is a complete anti - hero , control freak , alpha male who is who he is and doesn ' t want to change that . when knight meets anya gage , knight knows he should stay clear of her since she is the complete opposite of him , all light and happy , but he want her , and what knight wants , he gets .
of course ! grimlock vomits up a car at one point , and what i assume is bright green robo - bile along with it .
what a knight !
brings together a thrilling story , side - splitting script and a score full of contagiously catchy songs to give you a spectacular show that will be a sure hit with both cast and audience . with parts for between 26 and 60 children , plus unlimited chorus parts , this show will suit any size cast .

i’ve watched knight without armor numerous times . i , for one enjoyed the movie . donat , is donat . he gave a convincing performance . dietrich was really good . no mention was made of john clements in what i believe was his first of only a few films he appeared in . he had a very successful career on the british stage as both actor and director . regardless of what the critics wrote , it’s a worthwhile movie to watch .
but , i had no issues with any of it . i can see how knight ' s upbringing and experiences lead him to doing what he does , and thinking how he does about that .

never let it be said that michael bay is not a man without a very well - defined directorial sensibility . michael bay is extremely good at being michael bay and the minute you start watching a michael bay movie , you know exactly what you’re in for . this is extremely true of transformers : the last knight .
remember 10 years ago when director michael bay took the simply designed cartoon transformers of the ‘80s and made them into ultra - complex , shiny beings with so many moving parts they made no sense ? well , what bay did to the transformers themselves is what he’s done to the fifth film in the franchise , the last knight .

according to a long and trusted scooper at batman on film , batman will indeed get a new batmobile in the dark knight rises . this person didn ' t share if it would be a tweaked tumbler or something altogether new but you figure there cannot be a batman movie without a batmobile .

being one of her all time book husbands , naturally i had to meet him myself to see what ' s the fuss all about .
knight was very controlling to the point where he dictated what she should wear where she can go and who she associates with . their relationship has a touch of bdsm . when she disobeyed he punished her ( spanking and such ) so if you’re not comfortable with that fair warning .
it ' s what she raised me to be . it ' s all i know , anya . protection . i was born then i was raised to be a shield .
controlling , sophisticated alpha caveman . he knew who he was and what he wanted and wasn ' t going to play games to get them .
during the course of the dark knight movie , batman ' s tumbler batmobile was destroyed leaving christian bale with his superhero ' s bike as the only ride to get around . he ' ll clearly need some new wheels and maybe more in the dark knight rises , and the first hints of what those rides might be have arrived .
all the time . which is alright . knight is the reason this book works for me .
and the marriage thing - i reckon anya is more secure in the love that she knows knight feels for her than a lot of married couples .

it was a riot of colour , full of catchy songs , funny one - liners and excellent choreography ; it was a real joy to watch ! what was most amazing was the real confidence and pride that all the children possessed . as teachers , what is so lovely to see is the way the children all worked together , developing new friendships and new skills including leadership , increased resilience and communication skills , which they have transferred into the classroom . the children were asked to reflect on their experiences , and to consider what they had learnt from being part of the cast . here are some responses :
this new stranger , only known as
knight ,
shows an interest in anya . we enter a place in the book i ' d like to call :
he staged a shoot - out with giant robots at stonehenge and n ot a single stone was damaged in the slightest . that , my friend , is a michael bay who does not give a shit .
generally i wouldn’t spend hundreds of words of a review doing a laundry list of the plot points of a movie , but that’s almost entirely what the last knight consists of . the remaining screentime is just left for random insanity . for example , at one point cogman , who finds himself on an ancient submarine underwater with viviane and cade ( oh right , i forgot to tell you about the submarine and underwater stuff ) , shoots himself out like a torpedo to catch fish so the humans can have a romantic dinner , right in the middle of a big action scene . then there’s the anti - transformer government agency that strikes a deal with megatron , giving him many of his captured allies back . this might sound semi - reasonable , except that they’re introduced in a long , suicide squad - esque roll call with their names printed on the screen . it feels completely out of place , especially when you realize they end up being completely insignificant to the plot . as is megatron !
5 ohhhhh yeah . . . daddy stars i ' m sorry it took me a while to write this , but this was my first book by kristen ashley ( yes , i know i ' m late to the party . . . as usual ) and i was struggling to write a review that would do this amazing book justice . so , i hope i accomplished this * cough * minor * cough * task . . . and for those of you who haven ' t read knight . . . maybe i can give you a little incentive to finally pick it up . i really don ' t know what you are waiting for . oh , the review . . . right . let ' s start . warnin
knight and anya hit it off . each of them fear the other is keeping secrets , so they both try to investigate in order to find out what ' s going on behind the scenes . however , after anya starts to ask questions she ' s told by knight to stop , so she does . yet . . . knight doesn ' t seem to stop digging . i wasn ' t crazy about this part of the story . even though there was no contract , she accepted demands with hardly any question . knight took some of his actions ( snooping , hovering , demanding she be at places at set times ) to a place that could possibly freak most women out .
5 stars i can understand why this book did not work for everyone ! i , however , loved reading every page of this story . kristen ashley gave me what i wanted . she gave me a true anti - hero–one who would challenge what i consider acceptable behavior in my hero . knight was the type of character who generated , for me , an inner turmoil between my desire for a hero who genuinely loves his heroine ( which he did ) and my knowledge that he had few , if any , redeeming qualities , and frankly , didn ' t deserve t
it ' s been a long time since i wanted to read one of kristen ashley book . this week end was finally the time to meet one of her hot alpha male and i decided to go for knight . i love a hot alpha dominant male and with him i got my catch ! what attracted me to him was his anti - hero side . i know a lot of you have already read this book so i won ' t probably go into the details but for someone who has never read a ka book or if you are undecided about knight , you have to know that the guy is certainly th
a lot of things about knight made me want to gag , cringe , and shudder . . . but a lot of things about him made me melt , warmed my heart and had me fanning myself . . . and i really loved both knight and anya ' s characters for a whole number of reasons and despite my occasional gagging , it was a really good book . i don ' t know if that makes any sense , but its the truth . knight and anya were undeniably perfect for each other . they completed each other , found peace in each other , and loved each other with all their hearts . that part was beautiful . and , at the end of the day , that ' s what matters most , right ?
and why , oh why , do i want to bow down and lick the flesh of a man who is , by his own admission , violent , controlling and runs in a world of corruption and badness ? ! ! ! it ' s wrong . i know that my moral compass is askew and i ' m feeling that i should feel bad about that . but i totally don ' t .
oh , sure , there are some distractions along the way , like a lengthy prologue set in the times of king arthur — who was a real dude in the transformers universe — that is mostly notable for its choice to cast the great stanley tucci as drunk merlin , a goofy con man who accidentally stumbles upon a downed transformer ship and makes it the source of his magic . ( there’s a weird current of “magic vs . science” running throughout the last knight , even though the movie’s version of “magic” is just “really advanced science . ” throughout much of the final battle , tony hale — yes , that tony hale — runs around screaming , “why don’t we try physics ? ! ” )
you scare me , confuse me , freak me out and you ' re also sweet so i don ' t know what to do with you .
. . . .
knight had anya answer / call him “daddy” instead of “master” or “sir” in their sex play , which usually sets off my ick factor alert , but it really didn’t bother me in this . somehow knight mastered it , and i actually found this
i also get why people might have problems with knight . he is controlling to the point of it being totally wrong !
anya gage has learned that to get anything good in life , you have to work for it . she has no expectations , no dreams . then she finds herself at a party where she doesn’t want to be and she meets knight . knight sebring knows who he is , what he wants and what he likes . and he gets it . but he never expected something as sweet as anya gage to wander into his bedroom during a party he did not expect to be having to borrow his phone . knight tries to leave anya to the life she deserves of white picket fences and a man who watches football on sundays – good , normal and clean . but when anya comes to his nightclub and finds herself in a situation , he knows someone has to look after her , he can’t fight it anymore and he decides that man will be him . knight teaches anya that , just as with the bad , in life you should also expect the good . and he teaches her this by giving it to her . but knight has a dark past and just as he desires anya for exactly who she is , he fears when she finds out exactly the man he has become and always intends to be , she’ll leave him for good , normal and clean .
i loved him to pieces , i disliked some of his choices in life namely his profession but that’s what makes the anti in antihero . by no means was he a good normal citizen but he loved anya and his past justified his actions .
ah , but it pays off when she discovers one of the knight - bots in the wreckage ! ( not really . )
so there you have it ontd ! what do you guys think ? i don ' t really care tbh . i ' ll still watch but i ' ve lost interest in this franchise .
oswald is riding along on his horse having a merry old time when the two of them fall down a hill , right up to a castle . oswald whistles for the princess , who blows him a kiss as she appears on a balcony . he reaches her by lassoing the balcony and tying the other end of the rope to his horse ' s tail , using it as a tightrope . a rival knight suddenly appears and oswald falls off the balcony , startled . he manages to climb back up and the two fight for the princess .
5 i’ll be your baby stars anya , orphaned at the age of 7 , is used to struggling and fighting for everything she gets . she is currently working full - time , going to school , and seeing clients on the side . she goes to a party with her friend one night and accidentally runs into knight . knight is a successful club owner , sexy as sin , and dominating . knight takes one look at anya and wants to know more about her , to protect her , to own her . “babe , your clothes . shit . but you work ‘em and you do because you’ve got one serious fantastic body , your hair is even better and your face is a face that launches a thousand hard - ons . ” i freaking loved knight and his dirty talk . this is very different then ka’s other alpha’s , knight is a little rough around the edges and may not be for everyone . i loved the “daddy” talk and him wanting to own her . there is an instant connection between knight and anya , but i wouldn’t classify it has instant love . knight wants anya and anya naturally wants knight , but there isn’t any immediate i love you’s . there is definitely insta - lust , but hello this is knight we are talking about ! i loved this story . it has the ka magic that i love , and it is probably the hottest thing i have read from her . a lot of times you get a book that is either all story or all sex , this is the perfect balance of sex and story . anya has had a rough life and the way knight steps in and wants to take care of her…swooning ! i someone how missed this series , and i highly recommend it if you have somehow overlooked it too !
3 stars ! ★★★ “you don’t fuck knight . no way . knight fucks you . ” well this day came sooner than i thought as i ' ve officially popped my ka cherry , woohoo ! y ' all can thank my blog wife , allison who pulled a dirty one on me to get me to pick this one up . note to self : do not mess with allison when it comes to kristen ashley , this woman loves her ka fix . having knight being one of her all time book husbands , naturally i had to meet him myself to see what ' s the fuss all about . all i can say is that kn
ebook pg 54 : “what… the fuck… is the matter with you ? ” he asked slowly , his voice still vibrating , the fury still radiating and i blinked . what ? i didn ' t do anything . and i thought he should know that and not mistake it . so i yelled it , leaning toward him and everything . “i didn ' t do anything ! ” he came at me , fast . i retreated , not as fast . i hit something , went into freefall and my bottom landed sideways in a chair , back to a cushioned armrest , legs over the other one . knight leaned over me , one hand

5 stars i can understand why this book did not work for everyone ! i , however , loved reading every page of this story . kristen ashley gave me what i wanted . she gave me a true anti - hero–one who would challenge what i consider acceptable behavior in my hero . knight was the type of character who generated , for me , an inner turmoil between my desire for a hero who genuinely loves his heroine ( which he did ) and my knowledge that he had few , if any , redeeming qualities , and frankly , didn ' t deserve that heroine . i could never accept a man like knight in real life ; however , knight is a fantasy , and , for me , i could look past all his imperfections and fall in love with the love story . if you can do the same , then you will enjoy this story . if you can ' t , this book probably is not for you . if you ' re already a kristen ashley addict , or interested in checking out her books , be sure to stop by our kristen ashley addict ' s support group here on goodreads !
usually when michael bay directs a movie , the story is garbage , but there’s always his spectacle to fall back on . you can complain about whatever you want—and i do ! —but in terms of putting grandiose spectacle on the screen , bay knows what he’s doing .
independent , finance - strapped woman named anya finds herself stuck at a high - dollar penthouse party when her phone is unable to get a signal . she heads to the nearest bedroom to find a land line , so she can call a cab .
second re - read : 07 . 04 . 2017 so i found myself sitting on the airport trying to find out what to read . i was too damn tired to start something new , so it was pretty clear i ' d end up re - reading a book . so , it ' s not surprise that i kept coming back to this one . it ' s knight after all . i ' m still hoping , praying , that ka will make us another book for knight . because one ' s not enough . i need more knight . i did , however , found myself not loving anya all that much this time around . she ' s just alright now
transformers : the last knight is probably better than at least some of the four other transformers films . this is high praise . maybe ?
sale alert : 12sept17 kindle daily deal $ 1 . 59 this was my very first ever ka book that sent the ball rolling in the 50ish or so books i ' ve read by her . she is totally my book crack . 3 . 5 yeah daddy stars reread with my girls at buddies books and baubles . i might have liked this a smidge more on read # 2 mature content 18 + knight is not your everyday hero . he is all man and knows exactly who he is , what he wants and what he expects from those around him . things go his way and when they don’t he remedies
i have to get my thoughts about this book down right now before time dilutes my feelings . . . it was fantastic ! oh , wowza ! i ' m not sure where to begin but here goes . . . i haven ' t read every kristen ashley book that ' s out there , but i ' ve read more than a handful . and with every ka book i ' ve read , i know what to expect in the hero department . he ' s going to be an uber - alpha , controlling , bossy , dominant , with secrets he ' s reluctant to reveal , but when he eventually does , you ' ll see a softer , more vulner
anya ' s nice ! really nice . she ' s a great person and a good heart and is really cute . i love her character and i love that she wasn ' t a person to give up when she wants something , and that she doesn ' t back down on her words . anya is a wonderful friend who would do anything for them , even if it went out on her own safety . i got the impressing that she isn ' t used to be taken care of or spoiled , and i think that she got one hell of a surprise when knight did / do both of that . people might say that knight will get anya to the ' dark side ' , but in my opinion , i just think knight helps anya figuring out who she is . i really wished kristen ashley wrote more about knight and anya . . never say never , right ?
my major struggle would definitely be the dialogue between both anya and knight , especially knight . his slang ( ? ) or clipped sentences drove me completely nuts till at some point , i kinda gave up trying to decipher his sentences . it was a whole lot of weirdly structured sentences with multiple commas and throw in several f - bombs in between .
ka does not disappoint once again . even reading this the 3rd time knight has made me horny and giddy at his dirty mouth and bossiness .
the revelation at the end , well i can ' t say that i ' m shocked by it . it does leave me a little iffy with how anya seemed to be rather complacent about finding out the truth and just let the matter pass without much ado . i probably got it that the reveal of knight ' s true nature is what makes up the anti - hero part of him but perhaps it would have left a bigger impact had it been uncovered much earlier in the read .

developed by screaming villains , this restoration of an old classic is slated for a spring release with a physical version available for ps4 .
it would be easy to think she is this woman who was not up to the level of knight . she had had her own living hell after only being with her parents for seven years . . . they were killed together in a random carjacking . . . leaving her to be raised by a cruel and lazy aunt . yet , anya had developed an inner strength . . . recognizing early on . . . life can be what you make it . . . you take what is given and figure out a way to make it better somehow . and bless her . . . she was in the process of doing just that . she was careful with her money ; had a business goal and stuck to it no matter what . she had a concrete vision of the goal and worked everyday to make it happen . she was extremely smart about her likes / dislikes and worked to create her own ways and style without over thinking it . she understood . . . . this was her life . . . there was no safety net or person coming to the rescue . . . she was it and lived accordingly .
dietrich and donat make an exceptionally good team and develop quite a chemistry that carries the film . it’s said that producer korda wanted to get rid of donat due to his asthma episodes but dietrich talked him out of it . it’s clear they have a personal connection that truly makes the film work on every level . but the movie failed at the box office , losing over a quarter of its budget , and disappointed audiences hoping for a more glamorous marlene dietrich vehicle . oh , she’s glamorous , of course , but the story isn’t . and that’s to its benefit . as i said , it’s a great look at the horrifying nuts and bolts of the revolution , with a dietrich - donat romance thrown in for good measure . it just seems that outside of mother russia , and perhaps even there , 1937 movie - going audiences didn’t much care what those reds had done to get their power . they were more concerned with where they , and the rest of the world , were heading . as a result , knight without armour never quite got its due . but it’s still here , and still standing strong , long after the revolution it documents was swept atop the ash heap of history .
my knight my anya . . . there i was , alone , lost in a current i couldn ' t fight , careening headlong into nothing . then i felt him and my head jerked to the shore . knight . . . thank god , knight . thank god , i wasn ' t going to face nothing alone . i ' d have knight . . . he just held my eyes and held on . and we slide over the edge , together , holding tight , into nothing . * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ ka does not disappoint once again . even reading this the 3rd time knight has made me horny and giddy at hi
what about “it doesn’t bother trying to wrap up anything” was unclear ? cybertron is still hanging out there , right above earth . the movie ends with a giant , shattered robot planet hanging out about a half mile above earth , which appears to have no consequences whatsoever . hell , whenever transformers 6 is made , it might not even be there anymore .
and i do . i really really do . i love knight sebring . he is possibly one of my favourite alpha males . ev - er !
the last knight is a good reminder that in the eyes of director michael bay , the transformers movies have always been at least one part disaster flick . ( one of bay’s earliest hits was armageddon , and almost all of his films since have carried a sense of impending apocalypse . )

i ' m not gonna lie , that ' s pretty damn hot to read about . also i found knight to be a rather amusing character because he came off like an oxymoron ; caveman - like but yet such a gentleman . he can be an arse but still be a sweetheart . in a way , that makes him rather swoon - worthy because who doesn ' t want a man packed with helluva testosterones to utter goddamn sweet words to the woman he cares about deeply ? yup i get it now allison , he ' s a keeper for sure ; )
leap quickly along those ledges to cross the pit . on the far side , a knight with a lance extended will rush you . jump to avoid the thrust , or just stay on the higher portion of the ledge . as the knight retreats , look left and double jump to a high ledge where a guard is patrolling . leap over him and head left to find a lever . use a spin attack on the lever and then head back to the right . you ' ll need to leap over the guard again . there will be ledges that now extend from the wall and retract . they ' ll repeat the process without any need to attack the lever again . when the first begins to extend , leap out to it and then along two more to arrive at a high balcony .
i’m a huge kristen ashley fan , i read and loved many of her books , they’re my go to during reading slumps and bookish hangovers . mystery man sits comfortably on my list of top book boyfriends and husbands , so naturally i expected a lot out of knight but at the same time i was ne
all i can say is that knight is the definition of ultimate alpha - male with a capital a . i ' m super positive that in all of my reading experience , no one can probably top him in this department . grade a possessive , dominant alpha male who is an absolute control - freak that will go all full - on protective mode on the woman he loves .
completely charming , wonderous , lovingly crafted , and even progressive in the way it tackles dark , violent subject matter seriously as a backdrop to what are more traditional super heroics . gal gadot is an absolute revelation and chris pine delivers in a surprisingly satisfying and pivotal role .
wonder woman
pretty much has it all . it ' s a shining light in the crowd of an over saturated superhero - obsessed movie market . it at the very least deserves a spot in any conversation regarding the best superhero stories yet captured on film .
knight is special . . . but anya makes him more so . . . and it is the coming together of these two which grabs your heart and soul .
this robot does not want to help merlin or humanity , but changes his mind . he helps merlin in two ways ; the first is that he gives merlin a “magic” staff and the second is that he joins with 11 other knight - bots to form a giant three - headed dragon which murders many , many saxons , including by just landing on them and rolling around for a bit .
meanwhile , optimus prime travels to his home planet of cybertron to find his maker , the evil quintessa , who wants to revive their planet by sucking the life from earth . to do that , she’ll need to turn optimus prime into a bad guy and have him retrieve an ancient staff—the staff the transformers gave merlin all those centuries ago . oh , and the staff that can only be found and wielded by merlin’s last living relative , an oxford professor named viviane ( laura haddock ) .
so i found myself sitting on the airport trying to find out what to read . i was too damn tired to start something new , so it was pretty clear i ' d end up re - reading a book . so , it ' s not surprise that i kept coming back to this one . it ' s
. i can ' t say i loved everything about the book , but i have to give credit for knight ' s ability to talk the clothes off a mannequin . i ' ll round up to 3 stars for the bedroom voice alone .
as terrifyingly scary controlling as knight came off as first , i actually , oddly enough , kinda fell instantly love with him . he radiated protectiveness . i loved that about him . and when he told her she should feel safe with him , i totally believed him . i felt safe with him , which is weird , i know considering i ' m the reader , but you get what i mean . . .
created his world . . . and those in it , learned . . . you did as knight instructed . he was loyal , decisive , very smart and direct .
and apparently the talisman which cade very randomly encountered chose him because he embodies the qualities of a knight , which is why the talisman turns into excalibur for 30 seconds . of course , these knightly qualities include chastity , which immediately turns into a conversation about how long it’s been since cade fucked somebody , because this is a movie based on toys made for young children designed to sell them more toys .
but the steam though , wowza . ka sure as hell can write some might fine sex scenes that would be hazardous to all kindles alike . added on with an ultimate alpha male and dirty talker like knight , a precaution would surely be required .
[ knight wouldn’t “officially” marry anya or give her his last name because it’s just not him ( too white picket fence and traditional ) . yet he gave her a ring and very reception - like party and was excited and enthusiastic about having kids . hmmm . . . isn’t that a bit ironic ? ( hide spoiler ) ]
here goes nothing : as she herself confirmed , anne hathaway will be catwoman in the movie . i can’t tell you what role she has in the beginning , but by the end of the story catwoman isn’t a villain but rather an ally of batman . and who are they teaming up to take out ? the league of shadows .
oswald battles a mischievous cat for possession of both his girlfriend and his bicycle .
yeah , tiny pterodactyls , triceratops , and a fire - breathing tyrannosaurus rex .
this article has a component height of 40 . the sidebar size is long .
