"Wolfstar" & other media

I'm sure people who have read a lot of fanfic - whether back in the day or recently - may know wtf "Wolfstar" is - Remus/Sirius, in HP fic - but if I had seen that name before, I had forgotten. I admit to reading a quite a bit of fanfic in the past, but for some reason I stumbled across this HP fic called "All the Young Dudes" lately which I had read part of before, and that's what it is - eventually - but it's extremely long and I don't think I got as far as the actual romance part the first time. I don't spend a lot of time on fanfic these days, but I am trying again, since I got there.

(I used the Kirk/Spock icon since it was the only fanfic icon I seem to have, and anyway I'm an Original Series ST fan of old - I'm old enough to remember when it was new, although I was a kid and obviously didn't know about slash at the time! I remember hearing rumors about mimeographed stories getting passed around when I was a teenager, but I certainly never saw any.)

We watched an episode of "The Penguin" today - the first time we'd seen any of it. It was pretty good. And we started watching "The Martian" but Rob wanted to go to bed early-ish (because he gets up and runs early on Sundays) and so we didn't finish it. I think I have the book on Kindle and I'm tempted to go and find it.

I don't think I mentioned that we watched the first Joker movie, which neither one of us had seen - I think that was last weekend, maybe. The reviews are so bad I'm reluctant to watch the 2nd one, even though I did like the first one more than I expected to.
