I remember reading this book the first time and just being pulled into the additional story of Bean vs. Achilles. Also, the idea of "What comes next" is much more prevalent in this book. You have a significant stream of thoughts about what happens after the war. Who will the kids belong to.

For context, the German experiences described in Operation Paperclip, were things that allowed the world to have air and space travel. I know that the experiments by the Japanese gave us a lot of Information about frostbite, but it is only alluded to and passively dropped rather than explained.
Video Game
This is where Sucker Punch excels. Their sound design for the weapons, the attacks, the music, the sound of the wind. Outstanding. I want to take a second to talk about the music and the Shamisen. Listening to it and how it is displayed in the game is very well done.

He does a great job of explaining the events that are happening, and what the hurdles he faced were. I can only imagine trying to deal with the cops from dozens if not hundreds of different precincts. The hoops to jump through, and the temperaments must have made it more than a headache.

This tells a very good story. A very classic story about greed, actions and consequences. It really provides you with a good understanding of those that leave active service. That confusion, loss, lack of funds, and then attempting to find something that would set things right.

it is a good way to show the post-war actions and how they affected people. I think that might be the better bit of deep lore here is how the morals of those in charge/owned things, played such a large part of where bases were built after WWII. Unrelated to the movie, but still sits there.

This movie both really good and terrible. From a highly predictable plot points and pacing, to great chemistry from Scarlett Johansson. She is probably the best part of this movie and the rest of the cast for the most part just along for the ride.

There is a lot of this campy, slap stick comedy to it. The thing that really highlights that issue is near the end when Bond returns to his hotel and is walking around the inside of the lobby on the walls while the people looking for him are on the inside.

What pull you out of reality sometimes is the complete buffoonery of the CIA Special Activities Director played by Holt McCallany. There are so many things wrong with his actions and about how he was hide his location such as making changes to the software that showed what CCTV cameras
Books
Using some incredible imagery and graphic horror, this story of the a Knight surviving during the Black Plague and protecting a young girl who is more than she appears. Whether demon or angel, the girl seems to know more and has a plan for the Knight Thomas and protecting the people of France.

No language, no sex, no violence... other than a food fight. There is nothing about this movie to not like and I think the 6.4 that IMDB gave it is outrageously wrong. We obviously didn't see the same movie and I think my mom would agree.
