I am a librarian, and a listmaker. Go figure. 😉 Therefore, I have compiled below the blog posts of personal best and worst lists of reel librarian characters as well as films. I hope you enjoy these “best and worst” lists! Agree or disagree with my choices? Let me know in the comments.…I am a librarian, and a listmaker.

Ranking the library fight scene in ‘John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum’ (2019)
Why not revisit another memorable library fight scene?! Last month, we revisited the library (adjacent) fight scene in Thor: The Dark World (2011), which was set in and around the Old Royal Naval College Library in London. So why not revisit another memorable library fight scene, this time in John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum (2019), set in the iconic New York Public Library. I was inspired by an article in The Ringer, an exhaustive look at “Every John Wick Kill, Ranked.” And this article really does what it says: it ranks every single killing across the first four John Wick films (a...…Why not revisit another memorable library fight scene?!

Library fight scene locale in ‘Thor: The Dark World’ (2011)
A student in the library shushes Jane and her squeaky shoes! The stand-alone Thor movies thus far have been pretty consistent with showcasing library, book, and/or research scenes! In this movie, Thor: The Dark World (2013), Thor reunites with Jane Foster and battles Malekith and the army of Dark Elves. Thor: The Dark World is part of MCU’s Phase Two. Upon rewatching, this sequel to Thor — directed this go-round by Alan Taylor and often cited as among the worst MCU movies — was actually better than I remembered it being. It has two main things going for it: Chris Hemsworth’s eyebrows...…A student in the library shushes Jane and her squeaky shoes!

First impressions: ‘John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum’ (2019) and its memorable fight scene in the NYPL
I was NOT planning to write about the new film John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum when I went to see it a couple of weeks ago during its opening weekend. I’d seen the two previous John Wick installments in theaters, so this outing to its third chapter was planned as a fun date night out. But when John Wick hails a cab within the first 5-10 minutes of the movie and directs the taxi driver to the New York Public Library, I knew my next post HAD to be about this movie. And yes, a little bit of me felt like saying, “Dammit! There’s going to be a library scene, so now I have to really pay...…I was NOT planning to write about the new film John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum when I went to see it a couple of weeks ago during its opening weekend.
